Wells went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles and two total RBI in a loss to the Astros on Wednesday.

Wells notched three of New York's seven extra-base hits in the defeat, and among his knocks was a two-run homer to left field in the fourth inning. The backstop has suddenly caught fire with the bat, slashing .421/.450/1.053 with three home runs and five RBI over his past six games. Prior to that stretch, he batted a miserable .133 with a 28.4 percent strikeout rate over his previous 24 contests.

Pena went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a walk in an 8-7 win against the Yankees on Wednesday.

Pena pulled the Astros to within two runs with his solo shot in the sixth inning, and he later gave his team another run with an RBI-single in the eighth. Pena has produced six multi-hit performances over his past 12 games, batting .306 with two homers, eight RBI, six runs and three thefts over that span. He's up to an .848 OPS on the campaign, which is on pace to blow away his previous career-best mark of .715.

Warren allowed two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four batters over five-plus innings in a no-decision against Houston on Wednesday.

Warren had a 4-1 lead heading into the sixth, but he was pulled after giving up a leadoff homer to Jeremy Pena in that frame. New York's bullpen went on to allow the Astros to eventually take the lead, preventing Warren from earning his second straight win. Still, this was a promising result for the right-hander, who has given up two or fewer runs in seven of his past eight starts. He has a 2.79 ERA during that span, lowering his overall mark to 4.28 on the season.

Alexander allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six batters over five innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Wednesday.

Alexander wasn't dominant Wednesday, and all three runs he allowed scored on a pair of Yankees homers. Nonetheless, he kept Houston within arm's length, which proved critical when the Astros mounted a comeback over the sixth through eighth frames. Alexander has now given up three or fewer runs in seven straight outings, posting a 2.79 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with a 38:10 K:BB across 38.2 innings during that span. That's earned him a spot in the rotation for now, while Lance McCullers has been moved to the bullpen.

Springs (10-10) took the loss against St. Louis on Wednesday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out four batters over six innings.

Springs pitched well Wednesday, giving up just a single run in each of the third and seventh innings, However, the Athletics' offense wasn't able to put its only run on the board until the eighth frame. Despite the defeat, Springs managed his first quality start since Aug. 6 and notched a healthy 10 whiffs. He's slated for a home matchup against Boston his next time out.

Adell went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Royals.

For the second straight night, the 26-year-old outfielder carried the Angels' offense, driving in all four of the team's runs. Adell erased a two-run deficit in the sixth inning with a three-run homer to center, his 33rd of the season, before plating the decisive run with an infield single in the eighth. With 33 homers and 90 RBI, Adell has already set career highs after previously maxing out at 20 homers and 62 RBI in 2024. The breakout campaign has been fueled by a recent surge, as Adell has gone deep eight times in his last 16 games and is batting 22 for 60 (.367) during that stretch.

Detmers earned the save in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Royals, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

With Kenley Jansen pitching three out of the last four days, Detmers was called upon to protect a one-run lead and shut down the Royals on 13 pitches. The right-hander hasn't allowed a run in 12 of his last 13 appearances and has given manager Ron Washington reason to utilize him in high-leverage scenarios like Wednesday's when necessary.

Bergert didn't factor into the decision against the Angels on Wednesday, allowing one run on one hit and three walks while striking out six over five innings.

The right-hander was in control for most of the outing, allowing just three baserunners through five frames before exiting after issuing a walk to Zach Neto to lead off the sixth. That runner later came around to score on a Jo Adell homer, leaving Bergert with his lone earned run. Since joining the Royals, Bergert has been remarkably steady, not allowing more than two runs in any of his starts while completing at least five innings in each. Over that stretch, the 25-year-old has posted a 2.43 ERA with a 31:11 K:BB through 33.1 innings, and his next turn against Cleveland presents another favorable matchup given the Guardians' offensive struggles.

Gomez didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Minnesota, allowing one run on seven hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out five.

Gomez has done some quality work since joining Chicago's rotation, as Wednesday's showing was his third start where he's surrendered one run or no runs. The 25-year-old right-hander tossed a season-high 94 pitches in what was his fifth start of the year, so he's certainly built up to handle a traditional starter's workload to wrap up the campaign. Gomez has a 3.42 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 27:12 K:BB over 23.2 innings as a starter for the White Sox, and he's next scheduled to take the mound at home against the Rays.

Dana didn't factor into the decision against the Royals on Wednesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings.

Making his first start of the season and the fourth of his career, Dana was sharp outside of the third inning, when a single, a walk and an error combined to bring home two runs for Kansas City. Otherwise, the 21-year-old faced the minimum in each of his other four frames, showing good poise and efficiency (70 pitches) in his first big-league outing since May. With Wednesday's performance, Dana should be in line for at least another turn as the Angels look to evaluate him down the stretch.
