  • Gavin Stone SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Gavin Stone: Moved to 60-day IL

    The Dodgers transferred Stone (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

    Stone opened the regular season on the 15-day IL after suffering a setback with his surgically repaired right shoulder during spring training. The Dodgers are taking a slow approach to the right-hander's rehab, with manager Dave Roberts relaying to reporters Wednesday that Stone is "starting over a spring ramp-up," and the move to the 60-day IL means he won't be available to make his 2026 debut until at least late May, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic. In a corresponding transaction, the Dodgers claimed Grant Holman off waivers from the Diamondbacks.

  • Luis Arraez 2B | SF

    Giants' Luis Arraez: Three hits, steal in loss

    Arraez went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 7-1 loss to the Padres.

    Arraez isn't a big contributor in the counting stats, but he's already logged two steals over six games this season. He had a career-best 11 thefts in 154 regular-season contests with the Padres last year. Speed isn't typically something that increases with age, so don't expect the 28-year-old to make a huge impact in that area. He's now batting .304 (7-for-23) with a walk, one RBI and one run scored, and his double Wednesday was his first extra-base hit of the year.

  • Grant Holman RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Grant Holman: Claimed by LAD

    The Dodgers claimed Holman off waivers from the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

    Holman camped with the Diamondbacks in spring training after being designated by the Athletics for assignment in early February, but he was subsequently DFA'd by Arizona after failing to make the team's Opening Day roster. He was reassigned to the minors by the Dodgers after being claimed off waivers and will likely report to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Holman appeared in 22 regular-season games (two starts) for the Athletics in 2025, finishing with a 5.09 ERA, 1.52 WHIP, three holds and a 17:9 K:BB across 23 innings.

  • Mason Miller SP | SD

    Padres' Mason Miller: Logs four-out save

    Miller allowed a hit and struck out three without walking a batter over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the save in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Giants.

    Miller entered the game with one on and two outs in the eighth inning and shut things down. The Padres proceeded to add four runs in their half of the eighth to give Miller plenty of cushion. This was his second save of the season, and he's added a 5:1 K:BB over 2.1 scoreless innings so far. He is firmly locked into the closer role, and Wednesday's outing shows manager Craig Stammen won't hesitate to ask him to cover more than one frame if necessary.

  • Diamondbacks' Jonathan Loaisiga: Secures rare save Wednesday

    Loaisiga allowed two hits and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning while picking up the save Wednesday against the Tigers.

    Closer Paul Sewald worked each of the last two days and three of the past four for the Diamondbacks, so he was perhaps unavailable for Wednesday's save chance. Loaisiga stepped up for his first save opportunity of the season, netting just his ninth career save, and the hard-throwing right-hander is at least in the mix for high-leverage work with 3.1 scoreless innings and a hold under his belt so far.

  • Giants' Adrian Houser: Takes loss in season debut

    Houser (0-1) allowed three runs (one earned) on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over 5.1 innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Padres.

    The Giants' defense didn't do Houser any favors, with errors in the first and fifth innings lead to the first two runs on his line. This was the right-hander's Giants debut, and he threw 58 of 86 pitches for strikes in a decent performance. He signed in San Francisco for two years and $22 million after splitting last season between the Rays and the White Sox, posting a 3.31 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 92:38 K:BB across 125 innings over 21 starts in a bounce-back season. He has a good park, but the Giants' offense hasn't been all that encouraging with just 13 runs scored over six games this season. Houser is tentatively lined up to make his next start at home versus the Phillies next week, which could set him up for a two-start week.

  • Jose Butto SP | SF

    Giants' Jose Butto: Dealing with arm tightness

    Butto was removed during the eighth inning of the Giants' 7-1 loss to the Padres on Wednesday due to right arm tightness, Justice delos Santos of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Butto was brought in for the eighth to keep the Giants' deficit at two runs, but he recorded just one out while allowing four runs on three hits and four walks, tossing 28 pitches (eight strikes) before being pulled. The Giants should have an update over the next couple of days once Butto undergoes further tests on his arm.

  • Padres' Ramon Laureano: Clubs homer in win

    Laureano went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Giants.

    Laureano gave the Padres some breathing room with his eighth-inning blast. This was his second multi-hit effort in five contests this season, and he's added two home runs, four RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base while batting .389 so far. Laureano was given a full day off Tuesday and started at designated hitter for the first time this season Wednesday. While he may not play the field all the time, he should be in the lineup most of the time, as long as he continues to hit well.

  • Zac Gallen SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Silences Tigers in first win

    Gallen (1-1) notched the win Wednesday against the Tigers, allowing no runs on four hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out two.

    Two of the hits allowed went for extra bases, but Gallen was still able to keep Detroit out of the scoring column Wednesday. Although right-hander wasn't dominant, he tossed 58 of his 88 pitches for strikes and bounced back in a big way after allowing four runs in four innings during his season debut. Gallen is set for a tough matchup on paper versus the Mets in his next scheduled start, though New York has stumbled out of the gates with .648 OPS as a team through six games thus far.

  • Nick Pivetta RP | SD

    Padres' Nick Pivetta: Rebounds in second start

    Pivetta (1-1) allowed one hit and two walks while striking out eight over five scoreless innings to earn the win over the Giants on Wednesday.

    Pivetta's first start of the season was rough, but he bounced back in his second outing. In the 2025 regular season, he had eight outings with at least eight strikeouts, and he won six of those games with no-decisions in the other two. The right-hander now has a 6.75 ERA and a 12:5 K:BB across eight innings over his two starts this season. He is tentatively lined up to make his first road start of the year in Pittsburgh next week, which could be his first outing of a two-start week.
