Progressive Field, Cleveland, OH

James Karinchak - Snags first winKarinchak (1-4) retired the only batter he faced to earn the win Sunday over the Angels.

ImpactThe Angels tied the game at 1-1 in the eighth inning when Gio Urshela hit into a fielder's choice against Tanner Bibee. Karinchak then stepped in and got Mike Trout to fly out as a pinch hitter to end the inning before Cleveland pulled ahead for good on Josh Naylor's three-run home run in the bottom half of the frame. Karinchak has strung together five scoreless appearances spanning 3.1 innings. It's been a rocky start to 2023 for the right-handed reliever, who has a 4.82 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB with nine holds and a blown save over 18.2 innings.

Triston McKenzie - More bullpen work on tapMcKenzie (shoulder) threw a bullpen session that went well Thursday, and he's expected to throw one more before stepping away from his rehab to attend his brother's graduation Tues...

ImpactMcKenzie will then return to Cleveland to be evaluated and scheduled for a rehab assignment. The 25-year-old is recovering from a right teres major strain, and he'll likely need multiple rehab starts before he is cleared to return to the major-league roster. He's eligible to return from the 60-day injured list May 29, but it is possible his rehab may extend beyond that date depending on how he performs and when the assignment starts.

Aaron Civale - Pitches sim gameCivale (oblique) was scheduled for a simulated game Saturday.

ImpactThe Guardians haven't provided an update on Civale's status since he threw a live bullpen session May 9 at the team's spring training complex. Assuming the sim game went well, he could soon be cleared for a rehab assignment some time this week. Since he's been out for over a month, there's a strong chance he could need multiple rehab starts.

Kyren Paris - Hitting for power at Double-AParis is slashing .239/.390/.487 with nine home runs and 10 steals in 31 games for Double-A Rocket City.

ImpactThe 21-year-old middle infielder has added some strength and power since getting drafted as more of a speedster in the second round of the 2019 draft. Paris is hitting no-doubt home runs to all fields after flashing this potential at Double-A to close last season (.282 ISO in 14 games). His 31.9 percent strikeout rate is to blame for his lower batting average, but this three-true-outcome approach could work for him if he continues to do this much damage when he connects.

Anthony Rendon - Likely to go on ILThe Angels are expected to place Rendon (groin) on the 10-day injured list Monday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

ImpactDaniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com relayed Sunday that the Angels informed infielder Livan Soto that he'll be called up from Double-A Rocket City ahead of Monday's game in Baltimore, implying that Rendon will head to the IL in a corresponding move after missing Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Guardians with left groin tightness. Gio Urshela is expected to serve as the Angels' primary third baseman in Rendon's stead, while Soto and Luis Rengifo will likely share time at the keystone.
