Dillon Thomas Scores Twice, Drives In Two

Seattle Mariners outfielder Dillon Thomas made his major-league debut Wednesday, and he had a nice game, going 1-for-5 with two RBI, two runs scored, and an acrobatic catch in right-center field.

Jake Fraley Has Two Hits, Steals A Base

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley contributed all over the diamond yet again Wednesday, going 2-for-5 with two singles, an RBI, a run scored, a stolen base, and a home-run robbing catch to save the game.

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier is absent from Wednesday's lineup for the contest against the Minnesota Twins.

Miami Marlins first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (back) was placed on the injured list before Wednesday's game with a lumbar strain.

Cleveland Indians shortstop and outfielder Amed Rosario went 3-for-5 with a triple, three runs scored, and one RBI in Tuesday night's 10-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Rob Refsnyder Collects Two Hits In Return

Minnesota Twins infielder/outfielder Rob Refsnyder went 2-for-3 with an RBI double in Tuesday's loss to the New York Yankees.
