Doval (4-2) blew a save but picked up the win Wednesday against Arizona, allowing two runs on two hits with three strikeouts over two innings.

Doval surrendered a game-tying two-run home run to Ketel Marte in the bottom of the ninth, but he returned for the 10th inning -- inheriting a one-run lead -- and retired the side to wind up with a win. Doval is in the midst of a rough patch, having allowed multiple runs in three of his last four appearances. The stretch has inflated his ERA from 1.59 to 3.03.

Miller (3-3) took the loss Wednesday against San Francisco, allowing an unearned run on one hit over one inning.

After Ketel Marte's two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth tied the ballgame, Miller took the mound for the top of the 10th and allowed an infield single to Heliot Ramos that advanced the automatic runner to third. Patrick Bailey plated the automatic runner with a sacrifice fly before Miller induced a double play. Arizona couldn't scrape a run across in the bottom half, resulting in a tough-luck loss for Miller. In his last six outings, the right-hander has allowed two runs (one earned) with nine strikeouts and no walks across 6.1 innings. He has a 2.04 ERA this season and should continue operating as Arizona's primary closer.

Marte went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to San Francisco.

Marte swatted his 18th home run of the season Wednesday, tagging Camilo Doval for a game-tying, two-run shot in the bottom of the ninth inning to send the game to extras. Marte has now hit six home runs in his last 12 games, going 16-for-47 (.340) with four doubles during that stretch. The star second baseman is slashing .300/.404/.595 in 2025.

Kershaw didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the White Sox, allowing four runs on nine hits and one walk with three strikeouts over six innings.

Kershaw became the 20th player in MLB history to record 3,000 career strikeouts, and he did so in dramatic fashion. The 37-year-old labored through five innings, yielding four runs and throwing 92 pitches with merely two strikeouts, but he still came out for the sixth frame. Kershaw retired Mike Tauchman to start the inning before allowing a double to Michael Taylor. Taylor was caught stealing third base, setting up an inning-ending strikeout of Vinny Capra for Kershaw to etch his name in the history books. While he couldn't continue his four-start win streak, Kershaw maintained his lossless 2025 campaign since the Dodgers rallied for the walk-off win. In his last five appearances, Kershaw has a 2.48 ERA and a 24:5 K:BB across 29 innings. He's on track to face the Brewers for his next start.

Smith went 2-for-3 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.

Smith clubbed a two-out, solo homer off Brandon Eisert in the first inning, marking the catcher's 11th long ball of the campaign. He also drew a walk with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, allowing Freddie Freeman to deliver a walk-off RBI single to cap off a three-run ninth frame. In his last 11 games, Smith is 12-for-35 (.343) with five home runs and a 6:8 BB:K.

The Mets are expected to select Garcia's contract from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Garcia has spent the entire season at Syracuse and owns a 4.13 ERA with a 1.57 WHIP through 28.1 innings. More recently, the 31-year-old righty has given up just two runs in 9.1 minor-league frames while striking out 12 batters and walking two in his past five outings. His improved performance will buy him a look with the major-league club, though his career 7.32 ERA in the big leagues will likely limit him to a low-leverage role.

Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with two RBI, a walk and a triple in Wednesday's 5-4 win over Cleveland.

After receiving his first career All-Star nod earlier in the day, Crow-Armstrong enjoyed a productive evening at the plate. The dynamic center fielder continues to be one of baseball's breakout stars in 2025, batting .269 with 21 home runs, 20 doubles, 64 RBI, 60 runs scored and 26 stolen bases across 332 at-bats. Wednesday's triple was Crow-Armstrong's fourth of the season and 10th of his career, and he ranks fifth in RBI and second in steals in the National League this year.

Bell went 3-for-4 with a double and three RBI in the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

Bell was productive throughout the contest, driving in runs in the first, third and eighth innings. Over his past 10 games, the 32-year-old has hit safely seven times while collecting four extra-base hits and 10 RBI. For the season, he's slashing just .204/.292/.365 with 11 home runs, 35 RBI and 26 runs scored across 288 plate appearances.

Profar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Angels.

Profar made his first start since March 30 on Wednesday after serving his 80-game suspension for violating the league's PED policy. He collected his first hit in the sixth on a single before launching a solo shot to right field in the seventh, his first of the season. Profar will serve as Atlanta's everyday left fielder after the team designated Alex Verdugo for assignment. However, if Atlanta can turn things around and make the playoffs, Profar would be ineligible to play in October due to the suspension.

Wood went 2-for-7 with two walks, one RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Tigers.

Wood delivered an RBI single in Game 1 but made his biggest impact in the nightcap, reaching base three times and scoring three runs. The 22-year-old is riding a modest five-game hitting streak and has hit safely in eight of his past 10 games overall, with that 10-game span including two home runs, nine RBI, 10 runs scored and three steals. For the season, he's slashing .283/.387/.547 with 22 homers, 65 RBI, 55 runs scored and 12 stolen bases across 382 plate appearances.
