MLB Player News

Genao went 4-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Mets.

It was a night to remember for Genao, as he became just the 22nd player in the modern era to record four or more hits in their MLB debut. Genao got the start at third base Wednesday with Jose Ramirez (hand) sidelined, though he'll likely see most of his playing time at shortstop moving forward, as Brayan Rocchio's gone just 3-for-35 (.086) in his last 10 games. Across 309 plate appearances with Triple-A Columbus this season, Genao slashed .309/.395/.494 with 10 homers, 48 runs scored, 42 RBI and nine stolen bases.

Warren (8-5) took the loss against St. Louis on Wednesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five across 5.1 innings.

Warren and Andre Pallante were locked in a pitcher's duel Wednesday, with neither team scoring through the first four innings. However, Warren yielded three runs in the fifth frame and did not receive enough run support to avoid the loss. He now sits at a 4.18 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 114:37 K:BB over 114 innings this season. Warren's next start is lined up for next week at home against Seattle.

Rogers (7-7) earned the win against the Angels on Wednesday, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks while striking out nine across six innings.

Rogers remained in Baltimore after their fire sale at the trade deadline and delivered a gem of an outing, carrying a two-hitter into the seventh. Following a rough start to the year, Rogers has been fantastic since the start of June with a 2.28 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 60:14 K:BB across 67 innings. The 28-year-old will presumably next take the mound in Minnesota.

Smith was charged with a blown save in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Mets, allowing an unearned run on one hit and two walks while striking out two in the ninth inning.

After walking Jared Young to lead off the ninth, Smith had New York down to their final out before giving up a double to Jorge Polanco, followed by a walk to Marcus Semien to load the bases. It looked like Smith would escape with the save after A.J. Ewing grounded to second base. However, Brayan Rocchio failed to field the ball cleanly, allowing the tying run to score and sticking Smith with his fifth blown save this season. Coming into the day, Smith had turned in seven straight scoreless innings, though he's had some trouble with his command of late with seven walks in his past 4.1 frames. Overall, Smith has converted 30 saves this season, posting a 2.41 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 73:18 K:BB across 52.1 innings.

Bibee didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Mets, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits over 5.2 innings. He struck out 10.

While Bibee set a season high with 10 strikeouts, the right-hander was left with a no-decision after giving up three home runs -- he surrendered back-to-back solo shots to Brett Baty and Jorge Polanco in the third inning before Carson Benge put New York ahead 4-3 with a two-out blast in the sixth. It's the third straight loss for Bibee, though he had turned in four straight quality starts prior to Wednesday. Overall, he has a 4-11 record with a 3.85 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 110:38 K:BB across 24 starts (138 innings) this season. Bibee's currently in line to face the Tigers on the road in his next outing.

Detmers (3-8) took the loss against the Orioles on Wednesday, allowing three runs on four hits and a walk with five strikeouts in four innings.

Detmers' demise came in the fourth inning after Tyler O'Neill and Coby Mayo hit successive homers to give Baltimore a lead it never looked back on. After staying with the Angels through the trade deadline, Detmers delivered his third start this season of four or fewer innings. The lefty is winless in his past eight starts and has a 5.05 ERA despite a 1.29 WHIP and 11.0 K/9 during that span.

Cruz secured the save Wednesday against the Twins, throwing a clean ninth inning. He struck out one.

With Alex Lange having surrendered 16 runs over his past 10 outings, Cruz is making inroads on claiming a larger share of the Royals' save opportunities going forward. Over 28 innings since the beginning of June, Cruz boasts a 2.25 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 28:6 K:BB. Each of the right-hander's three saves on the season have come since July 22 as well, making Cruz someone to consider for fantasy managers in need of saves while Kansas City continues to wait on Carlos Estevez (shoulder) to get healthy.

Kremer didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Kansas City, allowing one run on three hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out two.

Making his Twins debut Wednesday, Kremer got off on the right foot and provided the club with five strong innings. It was a much-needed bounce-back performance as well from the right-hander, who was blasted for 20 runs over his prior 19 innings with the Orioles before being shipped to Minnesota. Kremer, who still has work to do in order to enhance his 5.93 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 40:13 K:BB across 41 frames, is lined up to get an opportunity against his former Baltimore teammates in his next start.

Martinez (11-3) earned the win Wednesday over the Rockies, allowing six hits with four strikeouts and no walks over 5.2 scoreless innings. He struck out four.

It was a strong bounce-back showing from Martinez, who gave up six runs on four homers in his last outing against the White Sox. Martinez has held opponents to two runs or fewer in six of his last seven outings, posting a 2.48 ERA in that span. Overall, his ERA sits at 2.65 across 22 starts (129 innings) this season with a 1.10 WHIP and 73:20 K:BB. Martinez is currently in line to face the A's on the road his next time out.

Cameron (6-8) notched the win Wednesday against Minnesota, allowing one run on two hits and one walk in eight innings. He struck out nine.

Cameron struck again Wednesday, spinning eight innings while giving up one or no runs in a second consecutive start. The left-hander has offered the Royals plenty of length lately, throwing at least seven frames in four of his past five outings, and he's conceded just the aforementioned one run in his last three appearances to give him an improved 4.37 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 116:40 K:BB over 123.2 innings during 2026. Cameron has unenviable matchup against the Dodgers in Los Angeles for his next turn through the rotation.
