  • Royals' Noah Cameron: Strong in season debut

    Cameron (1-0) allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings to earn the win over the Twins on Wednesday.

    Cameron's season debut was a positive one, as he was able to limit the damage to a Brooks Lee RBI single in the fifth inning. Cameron made a strong first impression in 2025, starting 24 regular-season games and pitching to a 2.99 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 114:43 K:BB over 138.1 innings. Walks and long balls will be something to keep an eye on in his second big-league campaign, as he gave up 18 homers last season and plenty more loud contact that didn't get over the fence. He's projected to make his next start on the road in Cleveland, which could be the first outing of a two-start week for Cameron.

  • Guardians' Daniel Schneemann: Records steal in win

    Schneemann went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers.

    Schneemann has gone just 4-for-18 (.222) over six games this season, but three of his hits have been doubles. He made an impact with his legs after getting aboard Wednesday, stealing third base and scoring after Will Smith's errant throw to third. The steal was Schneemann's first of the year -- he had nine over 422 plate appearances in the 2025 regular season. He has made three starts in center field and one each at second and third so far, so he is likely to play regularly in a utility role. Schneeman's playing time will probably come in the outfield while the Guardians deal with the absence of Chase DeLauter (foot).

  • Gabriel Arias SS | CLE

    Guardians' Gabriel Arias: Leaves yard in win

    Arias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers.

    Arias has had a slow start to the season, but he was able to take Yoshinobu Yamamoto deep in the third inning Wednesday for his first extra-base hit of the year. Arias has racked up nine strikeouts and just one walk over 20 plate appearances so far, which contributes to him hitting a meager .105 (2-for-19). Despite the struggles, he's holding down a regular role at shortstop for now, but he will need to do better with the bat to maintain his playing time.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Clubs first homer of season

    Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers.

    Ramirez is still looking for his first multi-hit effort of the campaign, but he was able to swat his first homer Wednesday to give the Guardians some breathing room in the eighth inning. The third baseman has added two doubles, five RBI, two stolen bases and two runs scored over seven games this season. Ramirez is hitting just .143 so far, but he's faced strong pitching staffs in the first two series of Cleveland's season. It shouldn't be long before he locks in as a well-rounded force at the plate and on the basepaths.

  • Gavin Williams SP | CLE

    Guardians' Gavin Williams: Dominant in win over Dodgers

    Williams (1-1) allowed two hits and three walks while striking out 10 over seven scoreless innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Wednesday.

    Williams looks to have corrected the mechanical issue that led to him walking six batters in his season debut versus the Mariners. The right-hander was excellent in this contest, though he's unlikely to ever be an elite control pitcher. That didn't get in his way in 2025, and he's now given up a modest three runs over 12 innings while posting a 17:9 K:BB through his first two starts of 2026. Williams is projected to make his next start at home versus the Royals next week.

  • Griffin Jax RP | TB

    Rays' Griffin Jax: Woes continue to open 2026

    Jax (0-2) took the loss Wednesday versus the Brewers, giving up five runs (three earned) on three hits and one walk. He failed to record an out.

    The right-hander was summoned in the eighth inning of a 2-2 tie Wednesday, but he was unable to keep it knotted up. A fielding error by Junior Caminero prevented two of Jax's runs from being earned, but the hurler's struggles to begin the season continue to be concerning. Jax has now yielded five earned runs over two innings (four appearances), failing to convert each of his two save chances, and it wouldn't be surprising if Garrett Cleavinger or Bryan Baker received Tampa Bay's next save opportunity while Jax searches for his form.

  • Roman Anthony RF | BOS

    Red Sox's Roman Anthony: Homers off the bench

    Anthony went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Astros.

    After starting the game on the bench, Anthony came on as a pinch hitter in the top of the ninth and launched an opposite-field homer off a Bryan Abreu two-strike slider, his first long ball this season. While Boston's comeback bid would fall short, Anthony's homer is certainly a positive sign -- the outfielder had gone 0-for-12 with eight strikeouts in his previous three contests.

  • Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt: Belts three-run homer in win

    Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win against Seattle.

    The veteran first baseman drew a rare start versus a right-hander with Giancarlo Stanton getting the day off, launching his first homer of the campaign. Goldschmidt is still expected to see most of his playing time against left-handed pitching in 2026, as Ben Rice is set to handle the bulk of the reps at first base while Stanton receives the majority of the action at designated hitter.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Launches three-run homer

    Correa went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Red Sox.

    Correa put the Astros ahead for good Wednesday with a two-out, three-run homer off Garrett Crochet in the fifth inning for his first long ball this season. Correa's gotten off to a nice start this year, going 8-for-25 with seven RBI in his first seven games while splitting time between shortstop and third base. The veteran infielder slashed .276/.332/.402 with 13 homers and 52 RBI across 144 games between Houston and Minnesota last year.

  • George Kirby SP | SEA

    Mariners' George Kirby: Serves up three-run homer in loss

    Kirby (1-1) took the loss Wednesday against the Yankees, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out six.

    The right-hander gave up just one run through five frames, but Paul Goldschmidt's three-run homer in sixth inning left a big mark on Kirby's ledger. Kirby has now gone at least six innings in each of his first two starts of the year, but he's now been taken deep twice already. The right-hander will try to keep the ball in the yard the next time he takes the mound, which is set come in Texas versus the division-rival Rangers next week.
