  • Kyle Freeland SP | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Tosses five innings in no-decision

    Freeland didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Blue Jays. He tossed five innings of one-run ball, allowing five hits and a walk while striking out six.

    This was a clear step in the right direction for Freeland, who took the loss in his 2026 debut after allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over 4.1 innings against the Marlins on Friday. Freeland has been a reliable innings-eater for Colorado in recent years, and he lines up to make his next start against the Astros on the road.

  • Brendon Little RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Tagged with loss in relief

    Little (0-1) was tagged with the loss in relief Wednesday against the Rockies. He allowed one unearned run on one hit and one walk while striking out one across one inning.

    Little allowed the game-deciding run in the 10th frame via an RBI single from Tyler Freeman into center field. It's been a rocky start to the season for Little, who has given up eight runs (seven earned) with a 4:3 K:BB across 2.1 innings in three appearances.

  • Kevin Gausman SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Kevin Gausman: Fans 10 in no-decision

    Gausman didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against Colorado. He tossed six scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out 10.

    Gausman enjoyed an impressive 2026 debut after striking out 11 across six innings in a no-decision against the A's on Friday, and he built off that performance to record double-digit strikeouts for the second game in a row. Few pitchers in the majors have looked as dominant as Gausman over the first two outings of the season; however, the star right-hander will have a tougher assignment the next time he steps on the mound, as he's tentatively scheduled to make his next start next week at home against the Dodgers.

  • Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Knocks in run Wednesday

    Schneider went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Rockies.

    Schneider has gone 2-for-5 so far in the series, but he's done damage every time he's recorded a hit with a home run and three total RBI. Schneider's playing time has been sporadic so far and he only has seven at-bats across three games to open the season, and that inconsistent role limits his upside in most formats as a bench option in a deep Toronto roster.

  • Troy Johnston RF | COL

    Rockies' Troy Johnston: Two hits Wednesday

    Johnston went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    The Rockies mustered only six hits as a team in a pitcher's duel this Wednesday, but Johnston got two of them from the leadoff spot and also drove in the team's first run with a single to left field in the top of the eighth inning. Johnston is enjoying a strong start to the season, going hitting .333 with a .933 OPS through his first 16 plate appearances.

  • Tyler Freeman 3B | COL

    Rockies' Tyler Freeman: Knocks in game winner

    Freeman went 1-for-1 with an RBI on Wednesday against the Blue Jays.

    Freeman was activated from the injured list before Wednesday's game, though he wasn't in the starting lineup. He entered the contest as a pinch hitter in the 10th inning and drove in the game-winning run with a single. Freeman figures to occupy a utility role while only earning sporadic plate appearances.

  • Jake McCarthy RF | COL

    Rockies' Jake McCarthy: Running often

    McCarthy stole a base and scored a run in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    McCarthy was out of the lineup for the first time this season, but he entered the game in the eighth inning as a pinch runner. He immediately swiped second base and then came around to score the tying run. McCarthy is now 4-for-4 on the basepaths despite collecting only two hits across 19 at-bats to begin the campaign.

  • Nick Gonzales 2B | PIT

    Pirates' Nick Gonzales: Drives in pair

    Gonzales went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the Reds.

    Gonzales has been in the lineup for all six games early in the season, though he was moved up the order to hit second Tuesday. Both of his knocks came late in the game, highlighted by a two-RBI single in the ninth inning. Gonzales has been solid to start the campaign, collecting at least one hit in five of six contests while driving in five and scoring four runs.

  • Josh Bell DH | MIN

    Twins' Josh Bell: Connects for first homer

    Bell went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 13-9 loss to the Royals.

    Bell has gone 3-for-15 (.200) with four walks and seven strikeouts over his first five games this season. All three of his hits have gone for extra bases (two doubles, one homer). The 33-year-old is getting steady playing time as the Twins' designated hitter, but he's batted no higher than fifth in the order after being viewed as a potential cleanup hitter late in spring training.

  • Bryan Reynolds LF | PIT

    Pirates' Bryan Reynolds: Homers in second straight

    Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run Wednesday against the Reds.

    Reynolds began the season 3-for-18 with eight strikeouts across four starts, but he's quickly turned things around. He took Emilio Pagan yard in the ninth inning to provide some insurance runs for the Pirates, his second homer in as many games. Reynolds has started all six games and batted third in each contest.
