MLB Roster Moves & Player Updates

The American League West sees immediate roster adjustments as the Mariners placed key players on the injured list with Opening Day looming, officially starting shortstop J.P. Crawford and starting pitcher Bryce Miller on the 15-day IL to finalize their 26-man complement. Conversely, the Orioles received positive injury news regarding top prospect Jackson Holliday, who is slated to begin a rehabilitation assignment this week after breaking his hamate bone in February, suggesting his absence from Baltimore will be brief. In news from the catching ranks, two-time Gold Glove winner Roberto Perez announced his retirement at age, concluding a 10-year career where he spent the majority of his time with Cleveland.

Opening Day Pitching Dominance

Pitching performances provided the main storyline Wednesday night, as Yankees starter Max Fried dominated across 6⅓ scoreless innings, yielding only two hits in a decisive 7-0 victory over the Giants. This strong outing allowed New York to cruise despite an uncharacteristic offensive slump from superstar Aaron Judge, who finished the contest hitless in his first career Opening Day appearance.
