Here are three things we’ll be keeping an eye on around the baseball world today:
1. Eflin injury spurs Orioles roster moves:
Orioles right-hander Zach Eflin is expected to land on the injured list as he undergoes imaging to determine the cause of his elbow discomfort, which has prompted the team to select the contract of veteran righty Albert Suarez. Baltimore will need to make a 40-man roster move, as Suarez is currently in Triple-A on a minor league deal. He’s been effective for the O’s when called upon over the past two years, with a 3.59 ERA and 4.07 FIP across 145 1/3 innings of work. While Eflin’s rotation spot eventually figures to go to Dean Kremer, Suarez can provide length out of the bullpen for a few days until Eflin’s spot in the rotation comes up, at which point Kremer can take over. Details on both Eflin’s MRI and the corresponding move for Suarez could be available as soon as today.
2. DeLauter nursing foot injury:
Guardians outfielder Chase DeLauter has kicked off his rookie season in a big way, slashing .273/.304/.818 with an MLB-best four home runs. Unfortunately, last night’s game against the Dodgers put a bit of a damper on his torrid start. DeLauter fouled a pitch from Shohei Ohtani off his foot in the first inning, forcing him to leave the game. Jacob Gurvis of MLB.com notes that x-rays came back negative. DeLauter was already scheduled to have today’s game off according to manager Stephen Vogt. With the Guardians off Thursday, the first big test for DeLauter’s injury will be whether he’s in the starting lineup against the Cubs on Friday. C.J. Kayfus replaced DeLauter in the outfield yesterday and would likely continue filling in until he’s ready to return to the field.
3. Skenes looks to move past rough first start:
Reigning NL Cy Young winner Paul Skenes kicked off the 2026 season with a rare clunker whhen allowed five runs in the first inning while recording just two outs before being pulled. It was just the second start of Skenes’ career where he’s surrendered five earned runs, and the first one saw the righty go six innings despite those struggles. Skenes had no help from his defense during last week’s start, of course, and far fewer than five runs would have scored if not for defensive lapses from center fielder Oneil Cruz. Even so, Skenes wasn’t at his best; he faced a total of nine hitters, walking two of them and plunking another. He’ll look to rebound today against lefty Andrew Abbott and the division-rival Reds in a game scheduled for 12:40pm local time in Cincinnati.
