  • Eugenio Suarez 3B | CIN

    Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Demolishes third homer

    Suarez went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and two walks in Wednesday's 7-2 win over Oakland.

    Suarez came up clutch for Seattle, mashing a homer to right-center to give the Mariners a 5-2 lead in the top of the 10th inning. Wednesday's three-run shot ended a 1-for-19 stretch, and that slump dropped his slash line to .234/.312/.324. The 31-year-old hit 31 homers in each of the past two seasons, but he's well behind that pace in 2023 with just three long balls through 30 games.

    Yankees' Oswald Peraza: Getting X-rays on ankle

    Peraza will receive X-rays after rolling his right ankle during Wednesday's win over Cleveland, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    The results of Peraza's X-rays will help determine whether a stint on the injured list is necessary for the 22-year-old shortstop. Until more information is provided, he should be considered day-to-day.

    Peraza left Wednesday's game against the Guardians due to an apparent lower leg injury, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Peraza came in the game as a pinch runner and awkwardly stumbled while attempting to steal second base. Additional updates should come after the game, but early signs are not reassuring for the 22-year-old infielder.

  • Jake Burger 1B | TEX

    White Sox's Jake Burger: Battling side discomfort

    Burger left Wednesday's game against Minnesota due to left side discomfort, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports.

    Burger was grabbing at his left side after coming up empty on a swing in the fourth inning. The 27-year-old slugger is still being evaluated, and more details regarding the severity of his injury should be revealed once the results come back. Burger is slashing .231/.320/.631 through 75 plate appearances this season.

  • Jake Burger 1B | TEX

    White Sox's Jake Burger: Pulled from game early

    Burger was lifted from Wednesday's contest against Minnesota in the fifth inning due to an apparent side injury, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Burger appeared to wince and grab at his left side after swinging and missing at a pitch in the fourth inning. More details will likely come after Wednesday's game, but the 27-year-old infielder should be considered day-to-day until more is known. Hanser Alberto came in to replace Burger at third base.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Walks off Phillies with grand slam

    Muncy went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

    Muncy came up with the bases loaded against Craig Kimbrel in the bottom of the ninth and promptly unloaded them with one swing, giving the Dodgers a 10-6 win and a sweep of the Phillies. The grand slam was Muncy's 12th home run this season, putting him back atop the league leaderboard. The 32-year-old infielder's OPS is up to 1.039 through 118 plate appearances. He's added 27 RBI, 22 runs scored and a stolen base.

  • Brian Anderson RF | ATL

    Brewers' Brian Anderson: Sitting out Wednesday

    Anderson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Anderson has gone through a bit of a funk over the last four games while going 1-for-15 in that timeframe, and he'll get a night on the bench at least partially in response. Mike Brosseau is hitting cleanup while playing third base, and Tyrone Taylor is hitting seventh as the right fielder.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Two homers in loss

    Jung went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI during Wednesday's 12-7 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Righty Brandon Pfaadt was making his MLB debut for Arizona, and Jung helped welcome him to the big leagues with long balls in the fourth and fifth innings. Jung has showcased his power early this season and has an .866 OPS with eight home runs and 24 RBI through 28 games, but he remains susceptible to punchouts with a 32.5 percent strikeout rate.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Homers Wednesday

    Bregman went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's loss to the Giants.

    The Astros were held without a run until Bregman's two-run shot off Logan Webb with two outs in the eighth inning. The 29-year-old Bregman had been struggling prior to Wednesday's contest, going just 2-for-25 with a .287 OPS in his last seven games. He's now slashing a disappointing .212/.336/.347 with four homers, 15 RBI and 18 runs scored through his first 140 plate appearances this season.

    White Sox's Yoan Moncada: Nearing rehab assignment

    White Sox manager Pedro Grifol suggested Wednesday that Moncada (back) is close to beginning a rehab assignment, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    There's no set day yet, but Grifol noted that Moncada got his uniform dirty while participating in drills Wednesday in Chicago. The third baseman landed on the injured list April 11 due to lower-back soreness and was later diagnosed with a disc issue. Jake Burger continues to draw everyday starts at the hot corner for the White Sox.
