Pitching Excellence

Astros pitchers combined for a no-hitter Monday night in a 9-0 victory over the Rangers, with Tatsuya Imai and relievers Steven Okert and Alimber Santa each contributing to the historic performance. Meanwhile, Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski matched a career high with 12 strikeouts, carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning and hit 100 mph on more than half his pitches in Monday's win over the Cardinals. In Anaheim, Reid Detmers struck out a career-high 14 while being nearly perfect for eight innings, helping the Angels complete a sweep of the Rangers with a 2-1 victory on Justin Foscue's ninth-inning throwing error.

Prospect Call-ups & Roster Moves

The Athletics are calling up left-handed prospect Gage Jump, one of baseball's top pitching prospects who has 56 strikeouts in 38 innings in Triple-A. In Toronto, Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease has been placed on the 15-day injured list after suffering a left hamstring strain, while in Milwaukee, Brewers optioned lefty Robert Gasser back to Triple-A a day after blowing an early lead against Dodgers, with manager Pat Murphy suggesting Gasser was possibly tipping his pitches. In Chicago, Rikuu Nishida showed off his arm and enthusiasm in his big league debut with the White Sox, helping secure a 3-1 win over the Twins.

Position Player Highlights

Colton Cowser hit a walk-off home run for the second consecutive day Monday, completing the Orioles' 9-7, 13-inning victory over the Rays, calling it one of his "favorite complete team wins." Utilityman Kike Hernandez made his season debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers, going 2 for 2 with an RBI double in a 5-3 victory against the Colorado Rockies. On the injury front, Rangers shortstop Corey Seager has not resumed actual baseball activities, missing the opportunity to return from the IL, while Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield exited with a right hand contusion after being hit by a pitch and was replaced by Edouard Julien.

Team Struggles & Milestones

Chicago Cubs matched a dubious mark with their ninth straight loss, joining the 2017 Dodgers as the only two teams in the expansion era to have multiple 10-game winning streaks and a nine-game losing streak. In Japan, Shinnosuke Abe has resigned as manager of the Yomiuri Giants after being arrested for the alleged assault of his teenage daughter, a significant development in Japanese baseball. The Mets continue to struggle as Nolan McLean allowed a career-worst seven runs in a career-low 3⅓ innings during a 7-2 loss to the Reds, while star outfielder Juan Soto was sidelined for the second straight day due to illness.

Early Season Awards & Analysis

With Memorial Day weekend behind us, early MVP and Cy Young rankings are beginning to take shape as the season approaches its quarter pole. Meanwhile, MLB's top 50 prospect rankings have undergone a significant shake-up at the top, with several young stars making their case for future stardom. For fantasy baseball managers, top NL Central rookies represent potential waiver wire additions as they continue to impress in their early big league action. On the injury recovery front, Red Sox ace left-hander Garrett Crochet is feeling good as he returns from inflammation in his shoulder and is set to throw batting practice off the Fenway Park mound Tuesday.
