The Orioles will promote Trey Gibson from the taxi squad to the active roster for a Sunday start vs. the Yankees, filling a rotation slot created by Trevor Rogers’ IL stint and a recent doubleheader. At 23, Gibson has a 4.01 ERA in 24 2/3 Triple-A innings this season but has posted a 2.55 ERA over his last five outings, and Baltimore hopes his deep pitch arsenal and development under the coaching staff can help him contribute as a starter while injuries thin the rotation.
Left-hander Cristopher Sánchez will start Game 1 of the Phillies’ 12:35 p.m. doubleheader against the Giants at Citizens Bank Park after Wednesday’s rainout, while the Game 2 starter remains unannounced; Andrew Painter had been in line for Thursday’s night game, but no second starter has been named yet for the twin bill.
Red Sox recall left-hander Payton Tolle to start Thursday’s series finale against the Yankees, his first MLB action of the season and only the fourth career start. A top-50 prospect, he’s been strong at Worcester (15 innings, 3.00 ERA) as Boston’s rotation battles injuries to Gray, Oviedo, Sandoval and others. The move could lead to additional starts if he performs well and health remains uncertain, given the Sox’ lack of a mid-season off-day and ongoing rotation depth concerns.
Nick Pollack’s SP Roundup recaps every Tuesday starter, led by Noah Schultz’s White Sox debut vs. TB—flashy stuff but a debut-downer that signals rookie volatility. The piece also highlights strong outings from Abel, Yamamoto, and Nolan McLean, Detmers’ improved changeup, and a mix of solid and shaky lines across many pitchers, underscoring early-season unpredictability. Schultz’s long-term value will depend on adjustments and schedule; streaming picks live in another article, with Twitch Q&A available. Hold Schultz if possible, but expect ups and downs as the season begins.

Rotoworld’s fantasy baseball rankings update for 2026 emphasizes a shaken top tier after Hunter Greene’s groin/hip/back injury, likely sidelining him until July. The piece explains a tier-based approach to top starters, analyzes health risk and pitch mixes beyond surface stats, and notes multiple veteran arms facing injury woes (e.g., Snell, Cole, Bieber) that could reshape early-draft strategies as opening day approaches. The author reiterates he doesn’t rely on projections, instead evaluating tools, peripherals, and team context to gauge upside and risk for a 12-team format with IL spots.
FantasyPros’ 2026 breakout list spotlights Emmet Sheehan, Matthew Liberatore, Cam Schlittler, Cody Ponce, and Chase Dollander as pitchers with clear paths to more innings and strikeouts at manageable costs, thanks to workload potential, diverse repertoires, and favorable team contexts; plan to secure steady innings early and target upside with late-round darts.
RotoBaller uses Stuff+, Location+, and Pitching+ metrics to identify 2025 starters who flashed elite stuff but underperformed, then highlights 2026 sleeper breakout candidates likely to be available later in drafts: Cam Schlittler (big fastball, room to harness third pitch), Ryan Pepiot (high-movement fastball with upside but slider needs work), Sandy Alcantara (post-TJ rebound potential with strong second half), Drew Rasmussen (high floor with a nasty cutter, potential for more strikeouts), Shane Baz (big stuff, needs a more consistent fourth pitch after a mid-season move), and Jack Leiter (big room for improvement with midseason adjustments). These pitchers offer upside in dynasty/redraft leagues for those chasing late-draft gains based on Stuff+ trends.
