Detroit Tigers reliever Will Vest pitched a clean ninth inning to shut the door on the Toronto Blue Jays in his team's 3-2 win on Sunday. The Houston native struck out one and fired 16 of 24 pitches for strikes to earn his fifth save of the season. It wasn't easy for him, as he battled through three tough six-plus-pitch at-bats and had to work around a fielding error by infielder Andy Ibanez. Still, it was a nice rebound for him after notching a blown save on Saturday, and he has now gone seven straight appearances without allowing an earned run. The scoreless stretch has lowered his ERA to a tidy 1.66 and his WHIP to 1.02, while compiling a 25:7 K:BB ratio through 21 2/3 innings. He's tied for the Tigers' lead in saves with teammate Tommy Kahnle, and the two should continue to split chances late in games.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin allowed four hits and four earned runs over four innings of work in his team's 6-4 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. He struck out three and walked five, but did not factor into the decision. Per MLB.com's Sonja Chen, Gonsolin picked dead skin off of his thumb after his pregame bullpen session but "got a little carried away and took some good skin with it." The fidgeting led to bleeding, which could explain why he matched his career high in free passes. Otherwise, the Halos got to him early in this one, with a Zach Neto dinger to lead off the game, and Taylor Ward lifting a two-run bomb three batters later. Gonsolin mostly settled down after that, but 97 pitches through four frames were enough to give him the hook. He'll get a chance to rebound in a tough road matchup against the New York Mets in his next start later this week. That is, as long as he's completely past this thumb issue.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Zach Eflin allowed 10 hits and eight earned runs over 5 1/3 innings in Sunday's 10-4 loss to the Washington Nationals. He struck out four, walked none, and hit one batter, falling to 3-2 in five starts this season. The 31-year-old easily had his worst outing of the year, and it started right away when he let up a CJ Abrams home run to lead off the game. He'd escape the frame with no further damage, but yielded three more long balls and six total runs one inning later (including one more to Abrams) before he'd finally settle in. It's one to forget for Eflin, who will carry a bloated 5.08 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 28 1/3 innings (17:3 K:BB) into his next appearance, which should come later this week against the Boston Red Sox.

Detroit Tigers left-hander Sean Guenther will serve as the team's opener ahead of right-hander Keider Montero for Monday's series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium, according to the Detroit News' Chris McCosky. This will be the first career MLB start for Guenther, who should be avoided as a fantasy streamer. The 29-year-old southpaw currently has a 2.25 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with six strikeouts and three walks in six relief outings for Detroit over eight innings pitched. He has not gone beyond two inning pitched in any of his six relief appearances for the Tigers this year, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to go very deep at all against St. Louis in this one. This will be Montero's second straight outing in a bulk-relief role. He gave up three earned runs in 3 1/3 innings in the same role last week against the Boston Red Sox.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Lane Thomas (wrist) had a good day at the plate in his latest minor-league rehab game on Sunday with Triple-A Columbus, going 3-for-4 with a home run, double, stolen base, three runs scored, a walk and a strikeout as the leadoff hitter. In his five rehab games with Columbus, Thomas has gone 5-for-17 with a homer. The 29-year-old should be ready to rejoin the big-league club at some point this week, possibly as early as Monday's series opener in Minnesota against the division-rival Twins. Thomas was serving as the regular center fielder for Cleveland to begin the 2025 season before landing on the injured list with a wrist injury, although he had gotten off to a cold start offensively. He had seven hits in 45 at-bats without a home run while striking out 15 times in 48 plate appearances.
