Winker went 2-for-5 with two doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Twins.

The veteran outfielder broke an 0-for-13 skid with the performance. Winker has had a tough beginning to 2025 and missed time over the last week with an illness, but he's capable of heating up quickly if he's healthy. Through 12 games, he's batting .200 (7-for-35) with zero homers, one run and six RBI.

Hagenman didn't factor into the decision in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Twins, giving up one run on three hits over 3.1 innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

Making his big-league debut. Hagenman was deployed as the primary pitcher behind opener Huascar Brazoban and acquitted himself well, tossing 32 of 50 pitches for strikes before handing the ball off to Jose Butto. Hagenman wasn't exactly dominating for Triple-A Syracuse prior to his promotion, posting a 6.97 ERA and 12:4 K:BB through 10.1 innings over three appearances (two starts), but Wednesday's performance should earn him more opportunities with the Mets as the season progresses.

Frelick went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Tigers.

The 24-year-old outfielder took Keider Montero deep in the sixth inning for a solo shot, and the afternoon's final run, as he drove a changeup up in the zone 408 feet to right-center field. It was Frelick's first long ball of the season, but he's had an impressive beginning to the campaign without big-time power, slashing .318/.408/.455 through 19 games with five steals, six RBI and 11 runs.

Fulford is starting behind home plate and batting ninth against the Dodgers on Wednesday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

Fulford will make his first major-league start Wednesday after being called up by the Rockies from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday. Fulford started his season in Triple-A strongly with a .868 OPS, five home runs and 10 RBI across 44 plate appearances. Hunter Goodman could see more action as the Rockies' designated hitter for as long as Kris Bryant (back) is on the 10-day injured list, opening up opportunities behind the plate.

Quintana (2-0) picked up the win in Wednesday's 5-1 victory over Detroit, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

The veteran southpaw couldn't match the seven scoreless innings he tossed in his season debut, but Quintana was still sharp in his second outing of 2025. He tossed 58 of 100 pitches for strikes, including 20 called strikes as he kept Tigers hitters guessing. Quintana will take a 0.71 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 6:3 K:BB through his first 12.2 innings into his next start, which lines up to come on the road early next week in San Francisco.

Kopech (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, per MLB.com.

The bullpen was Kopech's second since he had his throwing program stalled in late March. The veteran reliever has recently stated that he "feels good" as he ramps up toward a return from the right shoulder injury that has kept him from seeing any game action so far this season. Kopech will presumably need a minor-league rehab assignment before he's ready to be activated off the IL, and when he eventually rejoins the Dodgers' big-league bullpen, he could be eased back into a high-leverage role considering the amount of time he has missed.

Veen is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

Veen started all eight games since being called up for his MLB debut April 8 versus the Brewers, and he'll receive a day off after going 3-for-28 with 11 strikeouts in his first 30 big-league plate appearances. The 23-year-old will likely have a decent leash as one of the Rockies' top prospects, but he may need to settle in a bit in the near future to avoid a return trip to the minors. Sean Bouchard is starting in left field and batting eighth in the series finale against Los Angeles.

Doyle (quadriceps) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

It's the sixth straight absence for Doyle as he continues to manage soreness in his left quadriceps. The 26-year-old will have Thursday's team off day to aid in his recovery before Friday's series opener with the Nationals, though it's possible the Rockies are considering a stint on the injured list given how much time he's already missed. Mickey Moniak is receiving another start in center field Wednesday.

Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

Getting the start at DH and batting sixth while Sean Murphy handled duties behind the plate, Baldwin got hold of a Jeff Hoffman splitter and lofted it down the left-field line in the ninth inning for his first career long ball. Baldwin has started only two of nine games at catcher since Murphy came off the IL, but with Marcell Ozuna nursing a sore hip, there could be more opportunities for Baldwin to get into the lineup in the short term. The 24-year-old rookie is batting .216 (8-for-37) through his first 10 big-league games with two RBI and a 4:10 BB:K.

Strider (0-1) took the loss Wednesday, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over five-plus innings as Atlanta was downed 3-1 by the Blue Jays. He struck out five.

Making his first big-league start since April 5 of last season after completing his recovery from an internal brace procedure on his elbow, Strider looked strong early and topped out at 97.9 mph with his fastball on a strikeout of Vladimir Guerrero in the first inning. The Toronto slugger got his revenge though, taking Strider deep on a slider in the top of the sixth to help chase the right-hander from the game. Strider handled a full workload, tossing 58 of 97 pitches for strikes, and his final strikeout of the day was the 500th of his career. He lines up to make his next start at home early next week against the Cardinals.
