Rafael Montero Gives Up Four Runs

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Rafael Montero entered Wednesday's game against the Houston Astros to protect a two-run lead, and by the time his line was finished, the Mariners were trailing by two. Over 2/3 of an inning, Montero allowed four runs (only two of which were earned) on three hits and a walk. He certainly […]

Justin Dunn Pitches Well In No-Decision

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Justin Dunn came up one out short of a quality start Wednesday, but he pitched well and left in position to get the win. Over 5 2/3 innings, Dunn allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two. Unfortunately, Dunn was left with only a no-decision when […]

Austin Nola Activated From Injured List

The San Diego Padres activated catcher Austin Nola (finger) from the injured list on Wednesday and optioned young backstop Luis Campusano to the alternate site. Victor Caratini, who filled in admirably for the injured backstop, received the start on Wednesday with Nola available off the bench. Caratini, however, has struggled to hit for any power this season, accumulating […]

Bo Bichette Continues To Bounce Back

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette continues to rebound with a big game against Washington Nationals on Wednesday.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Snaps Homerless Drought

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. ended his season-long homerless skid during the team's 8-2 loss to the Nationals on Wednesday. He took Erick Fedde deep in the fifth inning for a solo shot as he finished the game going 1-for-3 with a walk. Gurriel has gotten off to a sluggish start to his […]

Adam Frazier Gets Multiple Hits Against Royals

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Adam Frazier continued his multi-hit ways with two hits and a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Kansas City Royals. Unlikely to find a consistent power stroke, Frazier just keeps getting on base any way he can as this was his third multi-hit game over his past six contests. Frazier entered […]

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray allowed two runs over 5 2/3 innings of work in an 8-0 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. Gray struck out 11 and walked three.

Nick Pivetta Looks Strong Again Versus Mets

Boston Red Sox hurler Nick Pivetta looked like an ace Wednesday as he silenced the New York Mets' bats over five innings. Just one single combined with three bases on balls was all Pivetta allowed. He has quietly become a weekly go-to starter in all fantasy formats since his move to Boston last season. He's had […]

Domingo German Tosses Seven Scoreless Innings In Win

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German had his second consecutive strong outing in Wednesday's win over the Orioles. German tossed seven scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and a walk while fanning six batters.

Kyle Hendricks Continues Rocky Start To Season

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks put together another dud of a performance on Wednesday versus the Atlanta Braves. Hendricks went 3 2/3 innings and allowed 11 hits, seven runs, zero walks and struck out three on the evening. Hendricks once again got hurt by the home run ball. Hendricks only allowed 10 home runs […]

Domingo German Holds Orioles Scoreless

New York Yankees starter Domingo German bewildered the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday and scattered three singles and a walk across seven scoreless innings.

Tyler Glasnow Returns To Form Against Oakland

Impressively, Glasnow's […]

Nick Senzel Picks Up Four Hits, Steals A Base

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel went 4-for-4 with a steal in an 8-0 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday. He was also caught stealing in the loss. Senzel's four-hit game was the lone bright spot for a Reds team that has lost eight of its last 10 games. The young outfielder is now […]

Nick Senzel Has Four Hits In Loss Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nick Senzel went a perfect 4-for-4 at the plate with a stolen base in an 8-0 loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday.

Kolten Wong Smashes A Two-Run Blast In Loss

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Kolten Wong went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Marlins.

[…]

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Eric Lauer was recalled from the Brewers' alternate training site and will start Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (oblique) was placed on the injured list prior to Wednesday's game with an oblique strain, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle. The move is retroactive to Monday, which means Yastrzemski will be eligible to come off the injured list next Thursday. Yastrzemski is slashing .215/.303/.468 with […]

Mike Tauchman Makes First Start With Giants Wednesday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Tauchman will make his debut with the team on Wednesday night, as he will get the start in center and bat seventh against the Rockies. Tauchman makes his debut one day after being traded to the Giants from the Yankees in exchange for reliever Wandy Peralta. Tauchman has been slow […]

Jake Cronenworth, Victor Caratini Get Night Off Wednesday

San Diego Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth and catcher Victor Caratini are both getting the night off on Wednesday. Caratini had played in eight of the team's last 10 games, while Wednesday marks just the second time this year Cronenworth is out of the lineup. Through 25 games this season, Cronenworth is hitting .253 with […]

Yordan Alvarez Placed On IL Wednesday

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez was placed on the injured list on Wednesday, according to MLB.com's Brian McTaggart.

Mitch Haniger A Late Scratch Wednesday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger was a late scratch Wednesday against the Houston Astros.

No reason has been given as of yet for the change, but fantasy […]

Max Stassi Activated From Injured List Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels catcher Max Stassi (thumb) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. Stassi was dealing with a sprained left thumb, though manager Joe Maddon had said that he was close on Monday- so the move isn't too surprising. The veteran catcher is batting ninth against Rangers' right-hander Dane Dunning. Stassi was […]

Tommy Pham Remains Out Wednesday

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham (calf) remains out of the lineup Wednesday. Pham was available to come off the bench in yesterday's game, though he's not yet ready to rejoin the starting nine. It makes sense that the Padres want to play it safe with the veteran outfielder, given the team's scheduled off-day on […]

Justin Upton, Albert Pujols Not In Wednesday's Lineup

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton and first baseman Albert Pujols are not in Wednesday's lineup for the game against the Rangers. Manager Joe Maddon indicated that both veteran players are getting the day off, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. Pujols and Upton have been fast out of the gate in terms of their […]

Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez Absent From Wednesday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge and catcher Gary Sanchez are not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Kole Calhoun Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kole Calhoun (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday with a strained right hamstring. Calhoun was forced to leave Tuesday's game after grabbing his leg while attempting to steal a base, and the veteran outfielder will have to miss time as a result. It's a tough break for Calhoun, […]

Taylor Widener Headed To Injured List

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Taylor Widener (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Widener was the team's probable starter for their game against the Padres but was surprisingly scratched from his start and promptly placed on the injured list. It's not quite clear when he sustained the injury, though it's clearly a serious […]

Nelson Cruz Drives In A Pair On Wednesday

Minnesota Twins designated hitter Nelson Cruz went 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI and a walk in Wednesday's 10-2 blowout of the Indians. Cruz walked and scored a run in the first inning, then added onto the Minnesota lead with a two-run single in the top half of the second inning. He now has a […]
