Scott earned a save against the Rockies on Wednesday, allowing one hit and striking out three batters in a scoreless inning of work.

Scott was tasked with protecting a one-run lead in the ninth inning. The lefty allowed a two-out single but otherwise overwhelmed Colorado, recording all three of his outs on punchouts. Scott needed just 10 pitches to record that trio of strikeouts, and he notched an impressive six whiffs on those offerings. He is tied for the third in the league with six saves on the season and has posted a standout 10:0 K:BB over 10 innings.

Miller allowed six runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over three innings in a no-decision against Colorado on Wednesday.

Miller was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday afternoon in order to make a spot start with the big club. He fell behind 1-0 in the first inning, but the Dodgers' offense responded with a seven-run bottom of the frame to seemingly take the pressure off the young right-hander. However, Miller gave back most of the lead in the third inning, surrendering five runs -- four of which came on a Michael Toglia grand slam -- in that frame. Overall, Miller needed 84 pitches to retire nine batters, and the only real positive from his start is that he racked up seven punchouts. Miller could be sent back down to the minors in short order with Los Angeles playing just five games over the next eight days. However, the team will likely need another spot starter for one game next week, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that Miller will get another chance in the near future.

Meyer (1-2) took the loss against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday. He allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight across six innings.

Wednesday was Meyer's third quality start of the season, during which he generated 18 whiffs while punching out eight batters for the second time in four starts. The 26-year-old right-hander still came away with the loss, with two of the three runs he yielded coming on solo home runs by Josh Naylor and Pavin Smith in the second and sixth innings, respectively. Meyer has 27 strikeouts in 24 innings, which ranks eighth in the National League. He's slated to make his next start at home against the Reds next week.

Harper went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks in Wednesday's loss to the Giants.

Harper took a laboring Robbie Ray yard in the fourth inning to tie the game up at 4-4, powering a slider out of the strike zone and into the seats in right field. Through 81 plate appearances (18 games), Harper is slashing a healthy .269/.395/.478 with four big flies, two doubles, nine RBI and 11 runs scored. After stealing just seven bases in 145 regular-season games a year ago, the All-Star first baseman is already up to four steals early in 2025.

Mervis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Mervis tied the game up at 1-1 in the fourth inning, when he took Brandon Pfaadt deep to right-center field for a 396-foot solo homer. Mervis has logged four home runs over his last five games, and his six long balls this year is tied for fourth-most in the majors.

Gurriel went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Wednesday's 6-2 win over Miami.

Gurriel capped off the Diamondbacks' scoring with the team's fourth home run of the game, when he took Tyler Phillips deep to left field for a two-run homer in the eighth inning. It was Gurriel's third homer of the season and his first since April 2 against the Yankees. Despite the strong early power, it's been a slow start to the campaign with a .516 OPS through 17 contests.

Fitzgerald went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

The 27-year-old hit a double into the gap in right-center field to plate one of San Francisco's four runs in the seventh inning. Fitzgerald has settled in as the Giants' primary second baseman so far, and he's also parlayed his success in the second half of the 2024 season into a strong start this year. Through 51 at-bats (15 games), Fitzgerald is batting .314 with one home run, four doubles, one triple and four stolen bases. He's especially come alive of late with four multi-hit performances in his past six games.

Tawa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Marlins.

Tawa slugged his first MLB home run in the seventh inning, when he took Tyler Phillips deep to left-center field for a 414-foot blast. The rookie has appeared in six games (five starts) this season and has gone 4-for-18 with one walk, four runs scored, one home run and five RBI. He looks set to see most of the starts at second base while Ketel Marte (hamstring) is on the injured list.

Smith went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-2 win over Miami.

Smith extended Arizona's lead to two runs in the sixth inning, when he took Max Meyer deep to center field for a 429-foot solo home run. It was Smith's second homer of the year, and he's begun the season slashing .386/.460/.659 with nine runs and five RBI in 50 plate appearances while filling the strong side of a platoon at designated hitter.

Naylor went 1-for-3 with one walk, a solo homer and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Marlins.

Naylor got the Diamondbacks on the board in the second inning, when he took Max Meyer deep to center field for a 398-foot solo homer. Naylor has logged solo home runs in back-to-back games and has three long shots and six RBI over his last six outings.
