MLB 2026 Buzz: Blue Jays Place OF Nathan Lukes on IL

Reese McGuire - Designated for assignment The White Sox designated McGuire for assignment Saturday.

Impact The 31-year-old has been serving as the White Sox's backup catcher while Kyle Teel (hamstring) is on the injured list, but McGuire will lose his place on the active and 40-man rosters after slashing just .172/.273/.172 through 34 plate appearances. Drew Romo was selected from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move.

Drew Romo - Contract selected The White Sox selected Romo's contract from Triple-A Charlotte on Saturday.

Impact Romo was outrighted to Triple-A during the offseason but has started the season strong, slashing .298/.385/.561 with four home runs, 11 RBI and 11 runs scored across 68 plate appearances. The 24-year-old's offensive surge will now buy him a spot on the big-league roster, replacing Reese McGuire as Chicago's backup catcher.

Nationals enter matchup with the White Sox on losing streak

The Washington Nationals look to stop their three-game skid with a victory over the Chicago White Sox

1 DAY AGO • Associated Press

Miguel Vargas - Two hits in win Friday Vargas went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 5-4 win over the Nationals.

Impact With the two-hit night, Vargas pushed his average over the Mendoza line for the first time since April 10. He now has a five-game hitting streak and multiple knocks in three of those. Vargas is now slashing .209/.342/.429 with five home runs, 13 RBI, 19 runs scored, five stolen bases and a 17:16 BB:K across 111 plate appearances.

Seranthony Domínguez - Secures sixth save Dominguez secured the save in Friday's 5-4 win over the Nationals, allowing one hit with two strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning.

Impact Dominguez picked up his sixth save and third in his last three outings. The 31-year-old is 6-for-8 in save opportunities and has posted four straight scoreless appearances after he was hammered for three runs against the Rays on April 16. Dominguez owns a 4.50 ERA and 14:8 K:BB across 10 innings.

Erick Fedde - Surrenders three runs Friday Fedde didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Nationals, allowing three runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks with one strikeout across 5.2 innings.

Impact Fedde worked as the bulk reliever behind opener Bryan Hudson, who gave up one hit and one walk with one strikeout in a scoreless first inning. Fedde threw 91 pitches but generated just five whiffs. While the right-hander has survived for the most part in the early going this season, his numbers are probably better than he's pitched, as Fedde will carry a 3.42 ERA and 16:11 K:BB across 26.1 innings into his next appearance. He doesn't have swing-and-miss stuff and fully relies on his defense.

Munetaka Murakami - Hits 11th homer in win Friday Murakami went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and walk in Friday's 5-4 win over the Nationals.

Impact With the bases empty in the fourth inning, Murakami took Miles Mikolas deep for his 11th homer, tying Yordan Alvarez for the league lead. After his five-game home run streak was snapped Thursday, the slugger is ready to start another one. He now has seven long balls in his last nine games, and 11 of his 23 hits this season have gone over the wall. Murakami has proven to be a three-true-outcome hitter early in his MLB career, homering, walking or striking out in over 61 percent of his 113 plate appearances. He's now slashing .256/.398/.622 with 11 round-trippers, 20 RBI, 20 runs scored and a 22:36 BB:K.

Jonathan Cannon - Nearing rehab assignment Cannon (hip) threw a bullpen session Wednesday and could begin a rehab assignment shortly, MLB.com reports.

Impact Cannon went to the injured list April 14, but a clear timeline for his return was never established. That remains the case, as there has been nothing reported about his response to the bullpen session or when he will throw again. However, because a rehab assignment will be required, Cannon will be sidelined at least into early May.

Impact The veteran outfielder has a .923 OPS with two doubles and two homers over his past six games, but he'll take a seat against a right-handed starter (Miles Mikolas) on Friday for just the second time this season. Everson Pereira is batting leadoff as the designated hitter with Benintendi on the bench.
