Evans did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's win over the White Sox. He allowed four runs on six hits and a walk over six innings while striking out seven.

Evans fell victim to the home-run ball Wednesday -- he gave up four runs on three homers after allowing just two long balls in his first 21 innings this year. Overall, Evans is 2-1 with a 3.33 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 21:9 K:BB through his first four major-league starts (27 innings). The 23-year-old figures to remain in Seattle's rotation while Logan Gilbert (elbow) and Bryce Miller (elbow) are sidelined. Evans is currently lined up to face the Nationals at home in his next outing.

Baker (3-0) earned the win Wednesday against the Brewers after allowing an unearned run on one hit in the 10th inning. He struck out one.

Although it does go down as his first blown save due to the automatic runner coming around to score, Baker continued his strong campaign in the victory. Through 21.1 innings, the right-hander carries a 2.11 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 27:5 K:BB. That said, Baker has just two holds and one save chance in 2025, so he appears to rank fairly low in Baltimore's bullpen hierarchy.

Bleday isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

After going 1-for-7 with a walk through the first two games of the series, Bleday will grab a seat on the bench to begin Wednesday's contest. His absence will allow Seth Brown to start in center field and bat eighth.

Wilson (forearm) isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Wilson was pulled from Tuesday's contest after taking a pitch off his left forearm, and he'll get another day off to recover Wednesday. Max Schuemann will get the nod at shortstop instead and bat ninth.

Miller (elbow) played catch in the outfield prior to Wednesday's game against the White Sox, MLB.com reports.

Miller continues to recover from right elbow inflammation, which he'd been dealing with throughout the season before needing to go on the injured list May 12. It's unclear whether the right-hander will require a brief minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining Seattle's rotation, but he appears to have a chance of returning before the end of May at this point. Miller's throwing progression will remain worth monitoring, as the Mariners have yet to offer a concrete timetable for the 26-year-old's return to action.

Rutschman went 2-for-6 with a double and a three-run home run in Wednesday's 8-4 extra-innings win over the Brewers.

The backstop capped the scoring on the afternoon by depositing a Tyler Alexander cutter over the left-field fence in the 11th inning. The home run was Rutschman's fifth of the season but his first off a southpaw, and it snapped a 25-game power drought for the switch hitter. While he's had a tough start to the season, Rutschman's bat may be waking up -- over his last 10 games he's batting .278 (10-for-36) with half of his hits going for extra bases (three doubles and a triple in addition to Wednesday's homer).

Bautista gave up a run on one hit and two walks in the ninth inning Wednesday to blow his first save of the season in an 8-4 extra-innings win over the Brewers. He struck out one.

With the Orioles nursing a 3-2 lead, Bautista came in and fanned Rhys Hoskins to begin the ninth, but walks to Sal Frelick and Jake Bauers set up Caleb Durbin to slap a game-tying single into right field. Bautista has now been tagged for at least one run in four straight appearances while posting a 3:5 K:BB in 3.2 innings, and the rough stretch has sent his ERA soaring from 1.64 to 4.30. There's been no indication that the right-hander's spot as Baltimore's closer is in jeopardy, but Andrew Kittredge's return from the IL on Wednesday gives new manager Tony Mansolino another high-leverage option to turn to if he decides to make a change.

Sugano came away with a no-decision Wednesday, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over six innings in an 8-4 extra-innings win over the Brewers. He struck out three.

The 35-year-old right-hander produced his fifth quality start of the season on 88 pitches (60 strikes), but he missed out on his fifth win when Felix Bautista blew his first save of the year in the ninth. Sugano will take a 3.07 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB through 58.2 innings into his next start, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Cardinals.

Caballero went 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 8-4 win over the Astros.

Caballero now has six steals in his last six games and 15 on the season. The 28-year-old Caballero has also been swinging the bat well, logging at least one hit in seven of his last eight games -- he's gone 9-for-30 (.300) in that span. He's now slashing .252/.328/.369 with one homer, 14 RBI and 13 runs scored across 125 plate appearances this season.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Yoshida (shoulder) has resumed his throwing program and began playing catch at 60 feet, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Dating back to spring training, Yoshida hasn't had much of an issue swinging the bat while he works his way back from October surgery on his right shoulder, but he's struggled to make much progress with his throwing. He seems to have responded well to the cortisone shot he received in the shoulder May 4, but Yoshida will still need to increase his throwing distance and will need to throw at full velocity prior to embarking on a minor-league rehab assignment. With Rafael Devers seemingly locked in as the Red Sox's full-time designated hitter, Yoshida will need to prove that he can play the corner outfield before Boston activates him from the 10-day injured list. The Red Sox don't appear to be considering Yoshida as an option at first base, where the team has a major hole in the lineup after Triston Casas suffered a season-ending knee injury earlier this month.
