Jose Quintana Bounces Back Against Rangers

Los Angeles Angels starter Jose Quintana allowed only one run through five innings pitched in the Angels 7-4 loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. The left-handed starter needed this performance badly, allowing only two hits while striking out eight Rangers hitters. Quintana's first two starts will be ones he would like to forget, allowing a […]

Shohei Ohtani Goes Deep Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani went 1-for-3, with a solo home run, in the Angels 7-4 loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. One day after tossing four shutout innings, Ohtani smacked a slider deep into the seats for his fifth home run of the season. When Ohtani signed with the Angels, these are […]

Bruce Zimmermann Turns In Decent Start Wednesday, Takes Loss

Baltimore Orioles starting Bruce Zimmermann fell to 1-2 in Wednesday's 3-0 loss to the Marlins. Zimmermann pitched 4 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts. It wasn't a bad start overall and he got no offensive support, but Zimmermann's overall performance has not been all that inspiring from […]

Taylor Rogers Sharp In Long Relief

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Taylor Rogers notched his third hold of the season and was excellent in Wednesday's outing. Rogers worked 2 1/3 innings, allowing just two hits and no runs or walks while fanning three batters. The southpaw still has yet to allow an earned run this season- and while he's had a couple […]

Mike Trout Goes Yard In Loss

Los Angeles Angels center fielder Mike Trout went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the team's 7-4 loss to the Rangers on Wednesday. Trout smacked the first of four solo home runs for the Angels and the All-World outfielder now has six home runs and 12 runs batted in on the season. Trout is […]

Jose Urquidy Gets Knocked Around In Loss

Houston Astros starter Jose Urquidy allowed four runs in five innings pitched as the Astros were defeated by the Rockies 6-3 on Wednesday. Urquidy (0-2) could not survive Coors Field, allowing all four runs in the first two innings. Urquidy has alternated a solid performance with a rough one through his first four starts and […]

Alex Colome Takes Tough Loss Wednesday

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Alex Colome had a disastrous outing in Wednesday's tough 13-12 loss to Oakland. Colome came on in the ninth with a chance to lock down a save- but blew it after hitting a batter, allowing a single, and then surrendering a sacrifice fly to tie the game at 10. He got […]

Alex Bregman Collects Two Hits

Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman went 2-for-3 with one run scored in the Astros 6-3 loss to the Rockies. This is Bregman's second game back from being activated off the COVID list and looked like he hadn't missed a beat. The 27-year-old was off to a solid start before being placed into MLB's health […]

Yuli Gurriel Smacks Two-Run Homer

Houston Astros first baseman Yuli Gurriel supplied most of the team's offense on Wednesday, driving in three runs as the Astros 6-3 fell to the Rockies 6-3. Gurriel smoked a two-run home run in the second inning for his second round-tripper of the season and added a third RBI with a ground out in the […]

Kenta Maeda Roughed Up By Athletics

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kenta Maeda endured a rough outing in Wednesday's 13-12 loss to the Athletics. Maeda lasted just three innings, allowing seven runs on eight hits with just one strikeout. The veteran hurler served up three home runs, including two in one inning, in one of the worst outings of his career. While […]

Yonathan Daza Goes Yard In Win Over Houston

Colorado Rockies center fielder Yonathan Daza went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in a 6-3 win over the Astros on Wednesday. Daza hit his first big league home run off Astros' starter Jose Urquidy in the second inning. Sam Hilliard's struggles at the plate have opened up more playing time for […]

Garrett Hampson Doubles And Swipes A Bag

Colorado Rockies' second baseman Garrett Hampson went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base, and two runs scored in a 6-3 win over the Astros on Wednesday. Hampson hit his fourth double of the season, scored a pair of runs, and swiped his fifth bag of the year. He started at second base for the […]

Justin Upton Leaves Game With Cramps

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton (cramps) was removed from Wednesday's game in the ninth inning. Upton was looked at by the team trainer, who determined that he was experiencing cramps. The veteran outfielder was replaced in the game by Jose Rojas. It doesn't appear to be anything that will cause Upton to miss game […]

Donovan Solano Likely Headed For Injured List

San Francisco Giants second baseman Donovan Solano (calf) is expected to be placed on the injured list. Solano strained his right calf while running from second to third base during the sixth inning of Wednesday's game. The 2020 Silver Slugger award winner will be forced to miss time, presumably the 10-day injured list, meaning second […]

Dinelson Lamet Exits First Start With Forearm Tightness

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Dinelson Lamet (forearm) had to leave his start on Wednesday after just 29 pitches. Lamet, who had just returned from the injured list, was making his season debut but had to leave the game in the bottom of the second inning to be examined by the trainer. The team announced […]

Randy Arozarena, Manuel Margot, Mike Zunino Sitting Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena, outfielder Manuel Margot, and catcher Mike Zunino are all taking a seat on Wednesday. All three players are getting routine days off. Kevin Kiermaier will get the start in center, with Brett Phillips in right field. Francisco Mejia will be behind the plate.

Mickey Moniak Launches First Career Homer Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Mickey Moniak went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer for his first career round-tripper. Moniak displayed impressive opposite-field power, blasting an Anthony DeSclafani offering into the left-field seats. Moniak isn't a fantasy option in redraft leagues at the moment as Philadelphia called up Scott Kingery from the alternate site and will surely give […]

Austin Gomber Earns First Win Of The Year

Colorado Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber earned his first win of the season on Wednesday when he allowed two runs on two hits with a pair of walks and six strikeouts over six innings in a 6-3 win over the Astros. He limited the Houston offense to just two hits but one of them was a […]

Brad Miller Has Four-Hits With Two Runs Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Brad Miller went 4-for-5 with two runs scored in his first start since Jean Segura (quad) landed on the injured list. Miller certainly made his case to continue starting at the keystone despite the fact Philadelphia called up super-utilityman Scott Kingery from the alternate site. Kingery is a former top-prospect who […]

Andrew McCutchen Reaches Twice, Steals Base Versus Giants

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Andrew McCutchen went 1-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in a win over the Giants on Wednesday. McCutchen also struck out twice which has been a bit of an issue for him in the early going and helps explain his anemic .164 batting average. The good news is McCutchen is […]

Zach Eflin Overcomes Rain Delay To Post Strong Start

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zach Eflin pitched six innings of one-run ball with three strikeouts despite having his start interrupted by rain in the third inning. Eflin was visibly displeased at the timing of the delay, but bounced back to complete four more innings, needing only 86 pitches on the afternoon. The Phillies' bullpen couldn't […]

Hector Neris Earns Relief Win Versus Giants

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris pitched a clean ninth inning and earned the win thanks to a walk-off hit by Andrew Knapp in the bottom of the inning. Neris struck out two and didn't allow a baserunner. The 31-year-old righty is off to a strong start this season with a 1.23 ERA and a […]

Brian Anderson Has A Side Issue

Miami Marlins third baseman Brian Anderson is dealing with a side issue that kept him out of Wednesday's lineup. Manager Don Mattingly did not specify any further, so it's unclear if Anderson's injury is an oblique issue or something more minor. He did not sound overly concerned however, and the Marlins are not expected to […]

Garrett Cooper Dealing With A Groin Injury

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper is dealing with a minor groin injury, according to manager Don Mattingly. It explains why Cooper hasn't been mixed into the starting lineup in a few days. Cooper is off to a somewhat slow start, batting just .205/.300/.318 while splitting time at first base and the corner outfield spots. […]

Adbert Alzolay Scheduled To Start Saturday

Chicago Cubs manager David Ross said on Wednesday that starting pitcher Adbert Alzolay is scheduled to start on Saturday versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Alzolay pitched well in his last start versus the Brewers, but the Cubs bullpen came in and hurt his stat line. Alzolay was then sent down to the teams alternative training site. […]

Julian Merryweather Likely Out Longer

The Toronto Blue Jays are still waiting for more information on relief pitcher Julian Merryweather's left oblique strain, and his injury is expected to keep him out of action beyond his 10-day injured list stint. Merryweather is eligible to come off the injured list on Saturday, April 24, but it doesn't look as though that'll […]

Jesus Aguilar Drives In Two Runs On Wednesday

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar had a productive day in Wednesday's win over the Baltimore Orioles, going 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI. He also scored a run of his own and drew a walk. Aguilar's power has yet to show up as he hasn't hit a home run yet this season, but […]

Domingo German Listed As Thursday's Starter

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German is slated to take the mound on Thursday against Cleveland. The Yankees sent German down to their alternate site, presumably to work on some things after having a rough outing in his first start- two home runs and three earned runs allowed. The 28-year-old reportedly pitched well in […]

Yimi Garcia Saves Wednesday's Game

Miami Marlins closer Yimi Garcia earned a save, his fourth of the season, in Wednesday's win over the Baltimore Orioles. Garcia was called upon for one of the easier saves of the season, coming into the ninth inning of a 3-0 game. He made it look even easier than that though, tossing just 10 pitches […]

Anthony Rendon Could Return This Weekend

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (groin) has been sidelined since April 10 due to a left groin strain. However, he is progressing well. On Wednesday, Angels manager Joe Maddon said that he wouldn't rule out the possibility of Rendon returning this weekend against the Houston Astros. It seems just as likely, if not […]
