Friburgo host Heidenheim at Europa-Park Stadion on Sunday, April 19, 2026, in Bundesliga Matchday 30. It is a big spot for both sides, just in very different ways. Friburgo enter the day ninth in the table on 40 points and still close enough to keep the European conversation alive, while Heidenheim sit 18th on 19 points and are running out of room at the bottom. There is a workload angle here too, and it matters. Friburgo just came through a Europa League quarterfinal and advanced to the last four after beating Celta Vigo 3-1 away in the second leg, so there is real momentum, but also some fatigue risk after Thursday minutes. Heidenheim have had a cleaner week to prepare,

A year ago, New York Mets left-hander David Peterson was in the midst of a first-half breakout that helped him earn a spot on the National League All-Star team. Now, Peterson has been scratched from his latest start as skidding New York looks for a spark. The Mets will aim to end their longest losing streak in more than 20 years on Sunday afternoon when they visit the Chicago Cubs in the finale of a three-game series. The Mets announced late Saturday that right-hander Tobias Myers (0-1, 3.46 ERA) will start in place of Peterson, who reportedly is not injured.

Sasaki (0-2, 6.23 ERA), in his second MLB season after much success in Japan, will start for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday afternoon against the Colorado Rockies in the third game of a four-game series in Denver. The teams have split the first two contests. This will be the first time Sasaki has faced the Rockies. After earning three saves with an 0.84 ERA in nine games during the Dodgers’ run to their second consecutive World Series championship last year, the right-hander has made it through five innings in only one of his three starts in 2026 and

The Cincinnati Reds will look for their second series sweep of the season when they play the Minnesota Twins on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis. Cincinnati’s scheduled starting pitcher, Brady Singer (1-1, 5.60 ERA), earned his first win of the season on Tuesday. The right-hander scattered six hits, gave up one run and struck out one in a 2-1 home victory over the San Francisco Giants. Though Singer was struck with a comebacker to his right foot in the sixth inning, he finished the frame. X-rays came back negative. “I’m glad the X-rays came back good,” Singer said. “It caught me square in the foot. But I’m good for the next (start).” Both of the Reds’ wins over the Twins in
