Alex Colome Earns Fourth Save Wednesday Versus Texas

Tampa Bay Rays closer Alex Colome earned his fourth save of the season Wednesday versus Texas. He allowed a run to continue his less than ideal start to the season that has included blown saves and multiple games where he earned the save but still gave up runs. Colome recorded an MLB-leading 47 saves in […]

Brad Miller To Play Second Rehab Game Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Brad Miller (hamstring) will play his second rehab game Wednesday. He said his first game went well. If all goes well, he will rejoin Tampa Bay on Friday.

Jake Faria Strong Wednesday Versus Texas

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Jake Faria had a strong outing Wednesday versus Philadelphia. He went six innings, allowing only one run with six strikeouts. He holds an ERA of 5.82 but that is overwhelmingly influenced by his disastrous outing versus the Yankees, where he allowed eight runs in only 1 2/3 innings. In his […]

Edwin Encarnacion Goes Yard on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion hit his fourth home run of the season in the 14th inning of Wednesday's loss to the Minnesota Twins.

Francisco Lindor Goes Hitless in Six At-Bats on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor had a rough Wednesday night, going 0-for-6 with a walk and four strikeouts.

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Josh Tomlin was saddled with the loss on Wednesday night, pitching the 15th and 16th innings while allowing the winning run to score with no outs in the 16th.

Vince Velasquez Stumbles Late In Defeat

Through the first four innings of Wednesday’s series finale between the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies at SunTrust Park, there was no score as the pitchers maintained control. In the top of the fifth inning, however, Phillies starting pitcher Vince Velasquez connected on an RBI single, driving home catcher Andrew Knapp with the first run […]

Carlos Carrasco Tosses Seven Shutout Innings in a No-Decision on Wednesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco was great on Wednesday, pitching seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and a walk while striking out seven.

He struck out four and surrendered just one run in six innings, though he did allow four hits, three walks and a hit batsman. At least one Rockies hitter reached base in all but Kuhl's […]

Dansby Swanson Swats Second Homer Of Season In Win

It looks like Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson is intent on fulfilling the promise that he showed when he was a highly-touted prospect. It's still April, but he's hitting .358 with an OPS of .976 after Wednesday night's game. Swanson went 2-for-3 with a solo homer. He also scored another run in the 7-3 victory. […]

Short But Successful Night For Steven Matz

New York Mets starting pitcher Steven Matz got off to a rough start on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals.

Yoenis Cespedes Breaks Slump

It may have only been two games, but it certainly looks as if New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes is breaking out of his horrific slump. Cespedes finished 2-for-5 with a grand slam, two runs scored, and four RBI in the Mets 11-5 victory over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. Cespedes seemed to be putting […]

Freddie Freeman Leaves Game After Being Hit on Hand

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was hit on his left hand on Wednesday, the same one that that was hit last season, an injury that cost him two months. If he was out for an extended amount of time again, that would be devastating for those who picked him high. Here's hoping that it's […]

Kevin Gausman Pitches Well But Sees Team Lose In Walk-Off Heartbreaker

If you had Baltimore Orioles starter Kevin Gausman in your lineup on Wednesday, you got pretty good results -- six-plus innings of two-run ball with both runs earned along with four strikeouts and no walks. He didn't get the win or any decision, as a matter of fact. Still, he managed to do well against […]

Curtis Granderson Slugs Grand Slam

New Toronto Blue Jays outfielder/designated hitter Curtis Granderson hasn’t quite found his power stroke yet up north, but if Wednesday’s game is any indication, he may be well on his way to doing so.

Despite his early season struggles, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts stated on Wednesday that he does not plan on moving Kenley Jansen out of the closer role anytime soon.

Carson Fulmer Continues To Struggle

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carson Fulmer continues to get knocked around on the mound, this time by the Oakland Athletics Wednesday afternoon.

Yoan Moncada Steals Third Base In Three Days

Chicago White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada stole his third base in three days Wednesday versus the Athletics.

Phil Rogers of MLB.com reports that White Sox top pitching prospect Michael Kopech could be called up for a spot start.
