  • Yankees' Cam Schlittler: Another dominant outing

    Schlittler (2-0) notched the win Wednesday against the Mariners, allowing no runs on two hits and no walks in 6.1 innings. He struck out seven.

    After giving up just one hit in his season debut against the Giants, Schlitter was nearly unhittable again Wednesday. The Mariners offered very little resistance against the right-hander, who pounded the zone for 58 strikes out of his 79 pitches while posting a strong 13 swings and misses. Schlittler has a shiny 15:0 K:BB through his first 11.2 frames of 2026, and he'll be looking to touch the 80-pitch marker for the first time this year in his next scheduled outing against the Athletics.

    Dodgers' Gavin Stone: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Dodgers transferred Stone (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

    Stone opened the regular season on the 15-day IL after suffering a setback with his surgically repaired right shoulder during spring training. The Dodgers are taking a slow approach to the right-hander's rehab, with manager Dave Roberts relaying to reporters Wednesday that Stone is "starting over a spring ramp-up," and the move to the 60-day IL means he won't be available to make his 2026 debut until at least late May, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. In a corresponding move, the Dodgers claimed Grant Holman off waivers from the Diamondbacks.

  • Mason Miller SP | SD

    Padres' Mason Miller: Logs four-out save

    Miller allowed a hit and struck out three without walking a batter over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Giants.

    Miller entered the game with one on and two outs in the eighth inning and shut things down. The Padres proceeded to add four runs in their half of the eighth to give Miller plenty of cushion. This was his second save of the season, and he's added a 5:1 K:BB over 2.1 scoreless innings so far. He is firmly locked into the closer role, and Wednesday's outing shows manager Craig Stammen won't hesitate to ask him to cover more than one frame if necessary.

  • Giants' Adrian Houser: Takes loss in season debut

    Houser (0-1) allowed three runs (one earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over 5.1 innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Padres.

    The Giants' defense didn't do Houser any favors, with errors in the first and fifth innings lead to the first two runs on his line. This was the right-hander's Giants debut, and he threw 58 of 86 pitches for strikes in a decent performance. He signed in San Francisco for two years and $22 million after splitting last season between the Rays and the White Sox, posting a 3.31 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 92:38 K:BB across 125 innings over 21 starts in a bounce-back season. He has a good park, but the Giants' offense hasn't been all that encouraging with just 13 runs scored over six games this season. Houser is tentatively lined up to make his next start at home versus the Phillies next week, which could set him up for a two-start week.

  • Jose Butto SP | SF

    Giants' Jose Butto: Dealing with arm tightness

    Butto was removed during the eighth inning of the Giants' 7-1 loss to the Padres on Wednesday due to right arm tightness, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Butto was brought in for the eighth to keep the Giants' deficit at two runs, but he recorded just one out while allowing four runs on three hits and four walks, tossing 28 pitches (eight strikes) before being pulled. The Giants should have an update over the next couple of days once Butto undergoes further tests on his arm.

  • Zac Gallen SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Silences Tigers in first win

    Gallen (1-1) notched the win Wednesday against the Tigers, allowing no runs on four hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out two.

    Two of the hits allowed went for extra bases, but Gallen was still able to keep Detroit out of the scoring column Wednesday. Although right-hander wasn't dominant, he tossed 58 of his 88 pitches for strikes and bounced back in a big way after allowing four runs in four innings during his season debut. Gallen is set for a tough matchup on paper versus the Mets in his next scheduled start, though New York has stumbled out of the gates with .648 OPS as a team through six games thus far.

  • Tarik Skubal SP | DET

    Tigers' Tarik Skubal: Tough-luck loss Wednesday

    Skubal (0-1) took the loss Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing one run on six hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out three.

    The All-Star left-hander certainly wasn't deserving of the loss, but the Tigers were shut out Wednesday. Skubal had the Arizona bats off balance throughout the outing, inducing 10 groundouts while pouring in 60 of his 87 pitches for strikes, but Corbin Carroll managed to take Skubal deep for the game's only run in the first inning. Skubal has permitted a lone run on the campaign to go with a pristine 9:0 K:BB through 13 innings so far, and he'll look to keep dealing his next time out versus the Twins in Minnesota.

  • Blake Snell SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Close to facing hitters

    Manager Dave Roberts told reporters Wednesday that Snell (shoulder) will "likely" face hitters once the Dodgers return to Los Angeles from their upcoming six-game road trip, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Snell was limited to bullpen sessions during spring training due to left shoulder fatigue, prompting his placement on the 15-day injured list to open the season. He continues to progress in his recovery, and it looks like he'll start to face live hitters once the Dodgers return from their upcoming road trip that will conclude next Wednesday. Roberts noted to reporters that Snell is on track to make his 2026 debut at the end of May.

  • Cardinals' Matthew Liberatore: Logs quality start Wednesday

    Liberatore did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Mets, allowing a run on three hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out two.

    Liberatore was impressive Wednesday, holding the Mets without a hit until the fifth inning before eventually giving up a lone run on a Juan Soto homer with two outs in the sixth. Through two starts, the 26-year-old Liberatore has given up just two runs on 10 hits and three walks while striking out four over 11 innings. The left-hander is tentatively in line for a road matchup with the Nationals his next time out.

  • Freddy Peralta SP | NYM

    Mets' Freddy Peralta: Sharp in no-decision

    Peralta (1-0) did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Cardinals, allowing a run on three hits and two walks across 5.1 innings. He struck out seven.

    Peralta pitched well Wednesday, blanking St. Louis through his first five innings before he was ultimately charged for a run in the sixth in an eventual 2-1 extra-innings defeat. Through his first two starts with the Mets, Peralta's given up five runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out 14 over 10.1 innings. He's currently slated for a home matchup with the Diamondbacks his next time out.
