Gusto (7-4) earned the win Wednesday against the Nationals, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.

It was an impressive bounce-back performance from Gusto, who picked up his third quality start of the season after giving up eight runs in just 3.1 innings his last time out against the A's. Overall, the 26-year-old Gusto sports a 4.92 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP and 87:28 K:BB across 86 innings this year. While the right-hander certainly pitched well enough to earn another look in the rotation, Gusto could find himself back in the bullpen with both Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) and Cristian Javier (elbow) nearing returns.

Webb did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning loss to the Pirates, allowing one run on five hits and four walks with 11 strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Webb recorded his first double-digit strikeout game since June 7 but also tied a season high with four walks, departing an out shy of a quality start at 109 pitches. It was still an encouraging rebound for the All-Star, who had surrendered 16 earned runs over 15.1 innings in his previous three starts. He'll carry a 3.31 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 155:34 K:BB across 141.1 innings into a road rematch with the Pirates early next week.

The Mets traded Dohm to the Cardinals on Wednesday alongside Jesus Baez and Frank Elissalt in exchange for Ryan Helsley, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

Dohm has split time between Single-A and High-A during his first season as a professional, logging a 2.87 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 77:23 K:BB over 62.2 innings between the two levels. Now in the Cardinals' farm system, the 22-year-old righty will likely report to St. Louis' High-A affiliate in Peoria.

Burrows did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Giants, allowing one run on three hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over six innings.

Burrows allowed a run in the fourth inning but was otherwise sharp, throwing 61 of 91 pitches for strikes while limiting the Giants to three singles. The young right-hander has turned in back-to-back quality starts and yielded just three earned runs over 17 frames in his past three outings. He'll carry a 3.88 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 60:21 K:BB across 58 innings into a home rematch with the Giants early next week.

Abel and Eduardo Tait were acquired by the Twins from the Phillies on Wednesday in exchange for Jhoan Duran, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Abel was one of Philadelphia's top prospects and is now a key piece of the biggest trade deadline deal of 2025 so far. The right-hander made six starts for the Phillies this year in his first taste of the majors and has a 5.04 ERA over 25 innings, but he's been dominant at the Triple-A level with a 2.31 ERA and 9.9 K/9 in 13 starts. Abel will have a clearer path the big-league rotation in Minnesota given the club's injury situation and since Chris Paddack has also already been traded.

The Yankees transferred Schmidt (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

Schmidt is slated to miss the rest of the season and most of the 2026 campaign after undergoing an internal brace surgery on his right elbow July 11. The transaction clears room on the 40-man roster for outfielder Austin Slater, whom the Yankees acquired in a trade with the White Sox on Wednesday.

Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that May will work out of the bullpen going forward and will be available as a multi-inning reliever Friday against the Rays, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

The right-hander worked behind Shohei Ohtani as a bulk reliever last week and will now be making the full shift to the bullpen. May has otherwise exclusively worked as a traditional starter this season, and his performance in his first year back from flexor tendon and UCL revision surgery has been underwhelming with a 4.85 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 97:43 K:BB across 104 innings.

Peralta (12-5) took the loss against the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing five runs on five hits and four walks with three strikeouts over four innings.

Peralta tied a season high with four walks and was undone by a four-run third inning in his shortest start of the season. The 29-year-old has now yielded 10 earned runs over 14 innings in his past three outings after opening July with three straight quality starts. He owns a 3.08 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 134:46 K:BB across 125.2 innings and will aim to rebound in a road matchup with Atlanta early next week.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Snell (shoulder) will be reinstated from the 60-day injured list to start Saturday against the Rays, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Snell has been on the shelf since early April due to left shoulder inflammation. He steadily progressed through his throwing program and was effective during his four-start rehab assignment. In his most recent outing this past Saturday for Triple-A Oklahoma City, he threw 76 pitches across 4.2 scoreless innings. Though Snell has finally been given the green light to make his first start for the big club since April 2, he's still likely to have some minor workload limitations in place Saturday.

Imanaga (8-4) earned the win against the Brewers on Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks with eight strikeouts over five innings.

Imanaga was tagged for two homers by William Contreras but was otherwise sharp, throwing 65 of 89 pitches for strikes with 13 whiffs. It was a solid bounce-back after he gave up seven runs to the White Sox on Friday, though Imanaga will finish July having allowed nine homers over six starts. The southpaw carries a 3.25 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 63:17 K:BB across 83 innings into a home matchup with the Reds early next week.
