Mike Smith Looks To Continue Dominance Over Winnipeg

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mike Smith will get a very favorable matchup on Wednesday as his squad visits the Jets, against whom the veteran netminder has posted four consecutive wins this season.

Connor Hellebuyck Looks To End Losing Run Versus Oilers

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will guard the cage against the Oilers on Wednesday, looking to put a stop to a four-game losing streak.

Jack Campbell Faces Montreal On Wednesday

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Jack Campbell will face Montreal in his 17th start of the campaign on Wednesday. Frederik Andersen (lower body) has returned to practice but still needs some more time to get game-ready, which provides Campbell a further opportunity to impress. The 29-year-old carries a very strong 13-2-1 record for the season with […]

Jake Allen Takes On Toronto Wednesday Night

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Jake Allen will make his 22nd start of the season in Wednesday's matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

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 […]

Jonathan Drouin Takes Indefinite Leave Of Absence

Montreal Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin, who hasn't played since April 21, will be out indefinitely after he was granted a leave of absence and was placed on Long-Term Injured Reserve by the team.

Alexander True Makes Third NHL Appearance on Wednesday

San Jose Sharks forward Alexander True will be playing in his third NHL game on Wednesday against Arizona. True has yet to record a National Hockey League point.

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 […]

Darcy Kuemper Between The Pipes Wednesday

Arizona Coyotes goalie Darcy Kuemper will start on Wednesday in San Jose. Kuemper is 0-1-1 versus the Sharks in the 2021 campaign, where he allowed seven goals on 46 shots.

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.

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.

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 […]

Jorge Polanco Drills First Long Ball Of Season

Minnesota Twins second baseman/shortstop Jorge Polanco had endured a home run drought to start the season- but ended that with a resounding two-run blast in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Indians. Polanco stepped up to the plate in the first inning, working the count to 3-1 before pouncing on a Logan Allen fastball, sending it […]

Jose Ramirez Extends Hit Streak To Seven Games

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a single in Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins. The single extends Ramirez's hit streak to seven games and he is now hitting .262 with six home runs and four stolen bases on the season. He will look to continue rolling in the Tribe's upcoming […]

Dylan Moore Absent From Lineup For Second Straight Day

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore is once again out of the lineup on Wednesday.

Logan Allen Struggles Mightily Wednesday

Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Logan Allen had a rough day in Wednesday's 10-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins as he only managed to go 1 1/3 innings pitched while allowing six earned runs on five hits and two walks. Most knew it was going to be a short outing for Allen after he allowed three […]

Josh Donaldson Swats Solo Home Run

Minnesota Twins third baseman Josh Donaldson produced a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 10-2 win over Cleveland. Donaldson and teammate Byron Buxton went back-to-back in the first inning, with Donaldson's blast traveling 423 feet. The veteran third baseman has looked good at the plate so far, as he's sporting a .308 batting […]

Nick Madrigal Resting On Wednesday

Chicago White Sox second baseman Nick Madrigal will get Wednesday evening off versus the Detroit Tigers.

Madrigal makes his money […]

Mitch Garver Hammers Two Homers In Wednesday's Rout

Minnesota Twins catcher Mitch Garver went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Indians. Garver had been hitless in his last 14 at-bats coming into the game but put that stretch behind him with a couple of swings in the fifth and seventh innings. Both of his home […]

Luis Robert Could Return On Thursday

Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa said on Wednesday that outfielder Luis Robert (illness) could return from the COVID-19 injured list on Thursday. Robert's test came back negative, but he is still achy and regaining strength. Robert was placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Tuesday, but it appears it's not going to be […]

Yasmani Grandal Gets Another Day Off

Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal will rest on Wednesday versus the Detroit Tigers. Grandal has been in a big slump to start the season and has just six hits in 49 at-bats with two home runs and nine RBI. The veteran continues to see days off for Zack Collins and it will be interesting […]
