    Nationals' Daniel Hudson: Earns win after blown save

    Hudson (2-2) earned the win against the Rays on Wednesday, allowing a solo home run but recording two strikeouts in the ninth inning.

    The veteran right-hander secured the first two outs of the inning with no issues, but he was unable to maintain the one-run lead and gave up a solo homer to Brandon Lowe, though he still ended up notching the victory. Hudson has a 7.13 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 24:7 K:BB over 17.2 innings and has converted nine of his 14 save chances this season.

    Nationals' Austin Voth: Delivers one-run outing

    Voth allowed one run on four hits and three walks over five innings during Wednesday's extra-inning win over the Rays. He had six strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.

    The right-hander surrendered a run during the first inning but blanked Tampa Bay over the next four frames. Voth has a 7.17 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 33:17 K:BB through 37.2 innings and lines up to pitch against the Phillies on Monday.

  • Brent Suter RP | LAA

    Brewers' Brent Suter: Delivers three scoreless innings

    Suter allowed two hits and a pair of walks while striking out three over three scoreless innings in a no-decision in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Cardinals.

    Suter had another good turn as an opener -- for the second straight outing, he posted three scoreless innings. The southpaw lowered his ERA to 3.12 with a 1.12 WHIP and 33 strikeouts across 26 innings this season. Three of his 14 appearances have been as an opener, and Suter also sees work in long relief at times.

  • Reds' Raisel Iglesias: Shuts door for eighth save

    Iglesias earned save No. 8 with a perfect inning against the Pirates on Wednesday. He struck out one batter.

    Iglesias retired the side on seven pitches, preserving the shutout after Luis Castillo and Archie Bradley combined for eight scoreless innings. After a few early stumbles, Iglesias has been lights-out with just one earned run allowed in his last 11 appearances, going 6-for-7 in save chances in that span.

  • Padres' Adrian Morejon: Takes loss vs. Dodgers

    Morejon (2-1) took the loss Wednesday against the Dodgers, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits across two-plus innings. He struck out three and did not issue a walk.

    Morejon was called upon to start the bullpen game for San Diego. He worked into the third inning, with his lone earned run allowed being a solo homer to A.J. Pollock. The left-hander, who was tagged with his first loss of the season, is expected to continue working out of the bullpen going forward.

  • Dodgers' Brusdar Graterol: Allows run in short start

    Graterol allowed one run on one hit and one walk across 1.1 innings during a 7-5 win over the Padres on Wednesday. He struck out one.

    As expected, it was a short outing for the right-hander. He allowed a leadoff walk in the bottom of the first before getting a double play and strikeout to end the frame. The 22-year-old was pulled after allowing a one-out double in the second and was later charged with a run on Jason Castro's RBI double. Graterol should continue to work out of the Dodgers' bullpen, though he remains an option to open contests should Los Angeles utilize that strategy.

  • Caleb Ferguson RP | CIN

    Dodgers' Caleb Ferguson: MRI shows UCL issues

    Ferguson underwent an MRI on Wednesday that revealed potential damage to the UCL in his left elbow, Alanna Rizzo of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

    The 24-year-old was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier in the day, and manager Dave Roberts said that the MRI results didn't look "too good." According to Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times, Roberts said Ferguson is dealing with a "pretty significant" UCL tear and won't pitch again this season, though it's unclear if he'll opt for surgery.

  • Connor Brogdon RP | CLE

    Phillies' Connor Brogdon: Rejoins major-league club

    Brogdon was recalled from the alternate training site Wednesday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

    The right-hander was optioned to the alternate site between the games of Sunday's doubleheader, but he'll make a quick return to the team. Brogdon has surrendered five runs on four hits (three homers) with a 7:3 K:BB over five innings this season.

  • Andrew Chafin RP | CIN

    Cubs' Andrew Chafin: Sim game goes well

    Chafin (finger) threw 20 pitches during his simulated game Wednesday and performed well, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

    Chafin is recovering from a sprained left index finger that has kept him sidelined for nearly a month. Manager David Ross said that he looked great during his simulated game. If his finger responds well, he could return to action for the final few games of the regular season.

  • Wil Crowe RP | PIT

    Nationals' Wil Crowe: Likely getting start

    Crowe is expected to be recalled from the Nationals' alternate training site to start one game of Friday's doubleheader with the Marlins, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

    Friday will begin a stretch of three doubleheaders in five days for the Nationals, who will have to add a few new members to the rotation to account for the heavy schedule. Crowe is a logical choice to fill one of the openings, as he's already made two sport starts for the big club this season. He wasn't effective in either outing, giving up a combined seven runs (five earned) on 10 hits and six walks over six innings.
