  • Hunter Greene SP | CIN

    Reds' Hunter Greene: Exits with injury

    Greene was removed from his start Wednesday against Atlanta due to a right groin injury, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

    Greene made it through three innings with six strikeouts and zero runs scored against him, but he seemingly injured himself while warming up ahead of the fourth. The Reds' training staff will take a closer look at him to determine the severity of his injury, and there should be an update on his status in the near future. As of now, the 25-year-old righty is lined up to make his next start against the White Sox on Tuesday.

  • Athletics' Gunnar Hoglund: Solid in second outing

    Hoglund did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Mariners, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out three.

    Hoglund was sharp early Wednesday, as he held Seattle scoreless through his first four innings. However, he'd allow a run in the fifth before walking two batters in the sixth, both of whom would come around to score against the A's bullpen. Despite the shaky finish, Hoglund's gotten off to a strong start in his big-league career, posting a 2.38 ERA with 10 strikeouts and just one walk through his first two starts (11.1 innings). The 25-year-old Hoglund certainly appears to have done enough to remain in the A's rotation -- he'd line up for a tough road matchup with the Dodgers in his next start.

  • Bryan Woo SP | SEA

    Mariners' Bryan Woo: Rebounds after rough first

    Woo did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the A's. He allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings.

    The A's got to Woo early Wednesday, scoring three runs on four hits in the first inning. However, the right-hander would settle in and allow just two runs over his final five frames. While the eight hits and five runs allowed are both season worsts, Woo has managed to deliver six or more innings in each of his first seven starts this year. His ERA now sits at 3.25 with a 0.92 WHIP and 44:8 K:BB across 44.1 innings. Woo is currently slated to face the Yankees at home in his next outing.

  • Merrill Kelly SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Merrill Kelly: Solid in loss

    Kelly (3-2) took the loss Wednesday against the Mets, allowing three runs on six hits over 6.1 innings. He struck out six.

    After leaving his last start early with a hamstring cramp, Kelly certainly appeared healthy Wednesday as he held the Mets scoreless on just two hits through his first five innings. However, the right-hander would give up a homer to Juan Soto in the sixth before New York tacked on two more runs in the seventh. The loss is Kelly's first since April 3 -- he hadn't allowed more than two runs in his previous four starts coming into Wednesday. Kelly's ERA now sits at 4.09 through his first 44 innings this year with a 1.05 WHIP and 33:12 K:BB. He's currently lined up to face the Giants on the road in his next outing.

  • Tigers' Sawyer Gipson-Long: Beginning assignment Thursday

    Gipson-Long (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Single-A Lakeland on Thursday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Gipson-Long has been facing live hitters since late April, and he's now been cleared to test his surgically repaired elbow and hip in a competitive setting. The 27-year-old will certainly require an extensive rehab assignment after being sidelined for more than a year, though he could be in a position to contribute for the Tigers closer to the All-Star break.

  • Kodai Senga RP | NYM

    Mets' Kodai Senga: Blanks Arizona for fourth win

    Senga (4-2) earned the win Wednesday over the Diamondbacks, allowing two hits and six walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out four.

    Senga's command was shaky early, as he issued five walks in the first three innings. He'd manage to keep the Diamondbacks off the board, however, before settling in and retiring 11 of the 12 batters he faced over his final three frames. Senga's now held opponents scoreless in four of his seven starts this year. His ERA is down to a minuscule 1.16 with a 1.16 WHIP and 35:17 K:BB across 38.2 innings. Senga will look to keep his stellar run going in his next outing, currently slated for next week at home against the Pirates.

  • Tanner Gordon RP | COL

    Rockies' Tanner Gordon: Slated to start Thursday

    Rockies manager Bud Black said that Gordon will be called up form Triple-A Albquerque to start the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Tigers, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

    After the Rockies' series opener with the Tigers on Tuesday was postponed due to inclement weather, the two teams will wrap up the three-game set with a doubleheader Thursday. Kyle Freeland will get the ball for the first game of the day, while Gordon will presumably be designated as the 27th man for the twin bill and will take the hill for the nightcap. Gordon made eight starts for the Rockies in 2024, going 0-6 while posting an 8.65 ERA and 1.72 WHIP over 34.1 innings. He's enjoyed more success across his six starts at Triple-A this season with a 4.82 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB across 28 innings.

  • Zach Eflin SP | BAL

    Orioles' Zach Eflin: Slated to return this weekend

    Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told reporters Wednesday that Eflin (lat) has been cleared to return from the 15-day injured list and will start this weekend against the Twins, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Eflin cleared his final test by throwing a clean bullpen session Wednesday, and the 31-year-old ace will return to the Orioles' rotation this weekend, though which day he'll pitch is to be determined. He went 2-1 over his first three starts prior to landing on the 15-day IL on April 9 due to a right lat strain, registering a 3.00 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 8:1 K:BB across 18 innings.

  • Wade Miley SP | CIN

    Reds' Wade Miley: Resuming rehab assignment Saturday

    Miley (elbow) is scheduled to resume his rehab assignment with High-A Dayton on Saturday, MLB.com reports.

    Currently on Triple-A Louisville's 7-day injured list while he works his way back from the hybrid UCL surgery he underwent on his left elbow last May, Miley has already made two rehab starts with Dayton, but he didn't make it out of the first inning in his most recent outing April 27 due to a groin injury. The veteran southpaw appears to have responded well after resting up for the last week and a half and will slot back into the Dayton rotation this weekend. Miley will eventually report to Triple-A, and if he pitches well with the Reds' top affiliate, he could get a look in the big-league rotation at some point later this summer.

  • Ben Brown RP | CHC

    Cubs' Ben Brown: Strikes out nine in loss

    Brown (3-3) took the loss Wednesday against the Giants, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out nine.

    Brown was solid Wednesday, setting a season high with nine punchouts. However, the Cubs failed to provide enough run support against Robbie Ray in an eventual 3-1 defeat. The results have been mixed for Brown in his first eight appearances this year. Overall, the 25-year-old right-hander sports a 4.95 ERA with a 1.65 WHIP and 44:16 K:BB across 36.1 innings. Brown's tentatively lined up for a home matchup with the Marlins in his next outing.
