Royals' Kris Bubic: Another solid outing
Bubic didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Pittsburgh, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks across 5.2 innings. He struck out six.
Bubic allowed fewer than four earned runs for a fifth consecutive start and fell one out short of his 12th quality start of the campaign. In his last five outings, Bubic owns a 4.03 ERA and a 31:8 K:BB across 29 innings. He will take a 2.48 ERA and a 113:34 K:BB across 108.2 innings into the All-Star break.

Royals' Carlos Estevez: Nabs 25th save
Estevez picked up the save Wednesday against the Pirates, allowing one hit and no walks with one strikeout over a scoreless ninth inning.
Estevez hit the 25-save milestone for a third consecutive season, and he became the third closer in MLB to reach the threshold in 2025. The 32-year-old's ERA is down to 2.03 across 40 innings, and he owns a 33:14 K:BB on the year.

Salvador Perez DH | KC
Royals' Salvador Perez: Clubs pair of homers
Perez went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs during Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.
Perez notched his second multi-homer game of 2025, taking Bailey Falter yard in the fourth inning and tagging Isaac Mattson for a solo shot in the eighth. The 35-year-old catcher has now homered in three of his last four games, bringing his season total up to 13 round trippers. In July, Perez has gone 13-for-35 (.371) with 11 RBI.

Jac Caglianone RF | KC
Royals' Jac Caglianone: Hits monster homer
Caglianone went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.
Caglianone hit a towering 466-foot home run in the fourth inning off Bailey Falter. The long ball was his fourth of the campaign and his second in as many days. The rookie's power has been undeniable, but he's struggled to get on base consistently. He's logged at least one hit in just three of his last 11 starts and has a substandard .491 OPS in 127 plate appearances.

Will Robertson RF | BAL
White Sox's Will Robertson: Headed to Windy City
The White Sox acquired Robertson from the Blue Jays on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.
Toronto designated Robertson for assignment Sunday, but he'll reclaim a 40-man roster spot upon joining a new organization. The 27-year-old outfielder went just 1-for-10 at the plate during his three games in the majors with Toronto, but he's slashed an impressive .292/.403/.578 with 14 homers and 44 RBI over 233 plate appearances at Triple-A Buffalo. The White Sox will likely assign him to Triple-A Charlotte to begin his time in the organization.

Johnathan Rodriguez RF | PIT
Guardians' Johnathan Rodriguez: First multi-RBI game of 2025
Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Houston.
The 25-year-old righty-hitting outfielder drew the start versus southpaw Brandon Walter and delivered his first multi-RBI game of the season. With Lane Thomas (foot) on the injured list, the Guardians do have some extra reps to fill in the outfield for the time being. That said, Rodriguez has plenty of work to do if he wants to earn more playing time -- he's slashing a pitiful .152/.204/.239 with three home runs, two doubles, one triple and three RBI over 49 plate appearances.

Paul Sewald RP | TOR
Guardians' Paul Sewald: Claims second save Wednesday
Sewald picked up the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Houston, tossing a clean ninth inning. He struck out one.
Closer Emmanuel Clase had worked each of the past three days for Cleveland, so he earned a well-deserved rest Wednesday. His unavailability paved the way for Sewald to claim his second save of the season as he looks to settle in as a high-leverage arm for the Guardians. Through his first 14.2 frames, the veteran right-hander owns a 4.91 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB with four holds.

Carlos Correa SS | HOU
Twins' Carlos Correa: Logs another multi-hit game
Correa went 2-for-4 with a double and RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Cubs.
That's now four multi-hit games already this month for Correa, who's batting .308 over his first 26 at-bats of July. The veteran shortstop should continue to see plenty of RBI chances as long as he's hitting in the heart of Minnesota's lineup. Over his last 39 outings, Correa is slashing a respectable .290/.335/.448 with five home runs, eight doubles, 17 RBI and 21 runs scored covering 155 plate appearances.

Jhoan Duran RP | PHI
Twins' Jhoan Duran: Slams door for 14th save
Duran tallied the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Cubs, throwing a clean ninth inning with no strikeouts.
Duran wasn't available for Tuesday's win over Chicago due to an illness, but he was feeling well enough to nail down his 14th save of the season Wednesday. The hard-throwing right-hander posted his fifth scoreless outing in a row, and he should continue to serve as the Twins' closer going forward. Through 41.1 innings this year, Duran holds an excellent 1.52 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 45:16 K:BB.

Jake Meyers CF | HOU
Astros' Jake Meyers: Re-injures calf
Meyers was pulled from Wednesday's game versus Cleveland due to right calf tightness, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Meyers was scheduled to return Wednesday from a two-game absence caused by tightness in his right calf, but he aggravated the injury while running to center field ahead of the first pitch and had to be helped off the field. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but after suffering two occurrences to the same calf in four days, the Astros could decide to place him on the injured list, especially with the All-Star break just a few days away. Kenedy Corona and Taylor Trammell would likely see an increase in playing time if Meyers were to miss any games.
