Bubba Chandler Struggles With Control on Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates pitching prospect Bubba Chandler recorded only two outs while allowing one run on no hits and four walks against Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday. Chandler struggled to find the strike zone, with only 13 of his 31 pitches thrown for strikes. The 22-year-old's stuff is tantalizing, but his inconsistency in command is a […]

Lane Thomas Homers in Three-Hit Game

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Lane Thomas turned in his best game of the season in an 11-2 rout of the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday. Thomas drilled a three-run homer, his first of the year, as part of a 3-for-5 afternoon. The 29-year-old averaged 20 homers, 20 steals, and 67 RBI per season from 2022-24, but he […]

Jo Adell Goes Deep Again on Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell connected for his sixth home run of June in the Halos' 6-5 win over the Athletics on Wednesday. Adell took a 95 mph fastball from right-hander Osvaldo Bido 422 feet to left for a two-run blast that gave the Angels a 6-3 lead in the bottom of the sixth […]

Juan Soto Blasts 13th Home Run

New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto homered for the second straight game in the team's 5-0 win over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. Soto blasted a two-run shot off right-hander Jake Irvin and notched a single during a 2-for-4 night. After signing a 15-year, $765 million contract in free agency, Soto endured a rocky first […]

Byron Buxton Fills Box Score in Victory

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton had a huge Wednesday night to help the team to a 6-2 win over the Texas Rangers. His most noteworthy contribution came with the Twins trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the third inning. Buxton stepped to the plate with two on and hit a mammoth 479-foot home run off […]

Jazz Chisholm Jr. Leaves Wednesday's Game Early With Groin Tightness

For the second straight night, New York Yankees third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. (groin) left the game early on Wednesday, this time departing with left-groin tightness in Kansas City against the Royals, according to Newsday's Erik Boland. Chisholm left Tuesday's game early with neck tightness but was in the starting lineup a day later. The […]

Brandon Nimmo Launches Two Home Runs

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs and a walk in Wednesday's 5-0 victory over the Nationals. He's enjoyed a nice start to June, picking up at least one hit in eight of ten games. The 32-year-old is slashing .236/.302/.439 with 12 home runs, 36 RBI, 32 runs, and […]

David Peterson Throws Complete-Game Shutout

New York Mets starting pitcher David Peterson was masterful on Wednesday against the Nationals, striking out nine in a complete-game shutout. He allowed six hits and didn't walk a batter. It looked to be a great matchup going in against a Washington lineup that struggles against lefties, but no one would have predicted a start […]

Jordan Westburg Launches Three-Run Home Run

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Wednesday's 10-1 win against the Tigers. This is about as good of a return as you can ask for, with the 26-year-old homering in back-to-back games after getting activated off the injured list. There's seemingly no rust to […]

Eugenio Suarez Blasts Grand Slam in Three-Hit Game

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez went 3-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Mariners. The slugger has been heating back up at the plate, launching three home runs in the past five games. His .233 batting average leaves something to be desired, but 32 of his 58 hits have gone […]

Brent Rooker Homers Twice in Four-Hit Game

Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker had a monster day at the plate on Wednesday, going 4-for-5 with two home runs, one double, three runs, and three RBI. This was the first time he homered in June, snapping a 10-game home run drought that is rare for the slugger. He's now slashing .276/.342/.498 with 15 home runs, […]

Spencer Schwellenbach Strikes Out Nine in Complete Game

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach threw the first complete game of his career and earned the win in a 6-2 win against the Brewers on Wednesday. He allowed two runs on five hits while striking out nine over the nine frames. He has only pitched less than six innings in a start two times […]

Brendan Donovan Not Concerned He'll Land on Injured List

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Brendan Donovan (toe) said his MRI exam showed a sprained capsule in the joint of his left big toe. Donovan added that trainers "threw the book at it" on Wednesday in terms of treatment, and he's not concerned it's an injured list situation, calling that a "worst-case scenario." The 28-year-old […]

Kutter Crawford Not "Feeling Great"

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that right-hander Kutter Crawford (knee, wrist) wasn't "feeling great," which is why he's back to playing catch instead of throwing bullpen sessions. It's a setback for Crawford, who has yet to pitch in 2025. The 29-year-old made a career-high 33 starts last year, lost a league-high 16 games […]

Tanner Houck to Throw a Bullpen at the End of the Week

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that right-hander Tanner Houck (elbow) will throw an up-and-down bullpen session at the end of this week. It will be Houck's second bullpen session after he threw one last Saturday. The 28-year-old is making progress, although it's unclear when exactly he might be able to return to Boston's […]

Florio's Fantasy Baseball Bullpen Report: Martinez Hurt, Helsley Struggling, Palencia Walked Off

I love writing about bullpens. I have been doing so for RotoBaller for years now. The one issue is that when you tend to focus on changing bullpens, you often find yourself writing about the same few teams. This week is different, though. Sure, there are some of the same usual culprits. But some teams […]

Ben Rice Could Start Games at Catcher

New York Yankees first baseman/designated hitter Ben Rice hasn't started a game at catcher this year, but with Giancarlo Stanton's (elbows) return looming, manager Aaron Boone said Rice could start some games behind the plate. The Yankees are going to have a logjam for DH duties when Stanton returns to the big-league roster, possibly as […]

Luke Weaver Feels "Great" After Bullpen Session

New York Yankees right-handed reliever Luke Weaver (hamstring) said he felt "great" after throwing his second bullpen session on Wednesday at Kauffman Stadium. Weaver landed on the 15-day injured list on June 3 with a strained hamstring and received a platelet-rich plasma injection, and now he's no longer feeling anything in his leg. The 31-year-old […]

The Minnesota Twins announced on Wednesday that they transferred right-hander Pablo Lopez (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list to make room on the 40-man roster for left-hander Joey Wentz, who they claimed off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Lopez is dealing with a Grade 2 right teres major muscle strain in his right shoulder and […]

Shane McClanahan In "Shut-Down Mode," to See Nerve Specialist

Tampa Bay Rays ace Shane McClanahan (triceps) is "kind of in a shut-down mode," according to manager Kevin Cash, and will visit with another nerve specialist before the team determines the next step in his recovery. McClanahan threw a successful bullpen session last Friday, but apparently he's had a setback since then. This doesn't sound […]

Nathan Eovaldi Plays Catch on Wednesday

Texas Rangers right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (triceps) took a step in the right direction on Wednesday by playing catch, according to DLLS Sports' Jeff Wilson. The Rangers are still unsure when Eovaldi will return from the 15-day injured list, though. He is eligible to come back this Friday, but that isn't going to happen since he […]
