Manzardo went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in a 6-1 win over the Reds on Wednesday.

Manzardo reached base safely three times in Wednesday's game as he continues his mini power surge over his last seven games. In those games, Manzardo has three homers and eight RBI to go along with a .714 slugging percentage, but he is struggling overall on the season with a .154 average (4-for-26) and 12 strikeouts since the break and is batting just .210 for the season.

Singer (5-10) took the loss against Cleveland on Wednesday, allowing four runs (all unearned) on six hits and four walks while striking out three across 4.1 innings.

After a nice streak of three starts of more than six innings, Singer stumbled in the 6-1 loss to the Guardians, throwing only 58 of his 100 pitches for strikes and walking in two runs. It ends a run of four straight starts of at least five innings for the righty. Singer is now tied for the MLB lead with 10 losses on the year, though his 4.35 ERA and 1.42 WHIP through 107.2 innings likely aren't deserving of that loss total.

Cantillo took a no-decision Wednesday against the Reds, allowing no runs on four hits and a walk while striking out eight over four innings.

Cantillo wasn't exactly efficient as he threw just 53 of his 89 pitches for strikes, but he generated multiple strikeouts in three of his four frames to help break a two-start losing streak. The 26-year-old got into jams in the first and fourth innings but escaped unscathed as he continues to excel with runners in scoring position, as the .189 average against him in those situations leads MLB. The lefty is slated to make his next start at home against the Mets.

Miller earned the save in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Rockies, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Miller has now turned in 10 straight scoreless innings, allowing just four hits and two walks while striking out 19 in that span. The star closer is a perfect 28-for-28 in save chances this season while posting a minuscule 0.79 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 85:15 K:BB across 45.2 innings.

Hughes (0-3) took the loss Wednesday against the Padres, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out two.

Hughes was sharp early, as he held San Diego to just one hit through his first three innings. However, things would unravel in the fourth, when the rookie right-hander allowed the first four batters to reach safely, ultimately giving up three runs. Through his first 24.1 big-league innings, Hughes sports a 3.33 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB. He's currently lined up to face the Rays at home his next time out.

Canning (2-9) earned the win Wednesday over the Rockies, allowing one hit and no walks across three scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Working in a bulk role again, Canning looked much better Wednesday, holding Colorado to a lone single en route to his second win of the season and first since June 17. It was an impressive bounce-back showing from the right-hander, who had given up nine runs (eight earned) across just 6.1 frames in his previous two appearances. Canning's ERA now sits at 6.65 on the season with a 1.57 WHIP and 67:32 K:BB across 65 innings.

Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 3-2, 10-inning loss to the Cardinals.

Crow-Armstrong looked like the hero when he launched his 24th home run of the season in the top of the 10th inning to give the Cubs a 2-0 lead. However, Trent Thornton blew the save and wasted Crow-Armstrong's potential heroics. Fantasy managers will take the power all the same, and the talented young outfielder is approaching his second straight 30-homer, 30-steal campaign. He's also sporting a robust .920 OPS, which would easily be a career best.

Pannone (0-1) took the loss Wednesday against the Giants, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks over three innings. He struck out two.

Making his first appearance in the majors since 2023, Pannone got through the first inning unscathed before giving up a three-run homer to Daniel Susac in the second. Following Wednesday's spot start, the left-handed Pannone figures to head back to Triple-A Nashville, where he's posted a 3.96 ERA across 75 innings this season.

Boyd took a no-decision Wednesday against the Cardinals, allowing no runs on four hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck out five.

Boyd engaged in a pitching duel with St. Louis right-hander Dustin May, who did fire five shutout innings, but Boyd was even better with seven scoreless frames. The 35-year-old southpaw notably escaped a bases-loaded jam in the sixth inning unscathed, and he's now pitched at least six frames in five straight outings while logging four quality starts during that span. Boyd is lined up for a tough test his next time out against the Dodgers, holding a strong 3.41 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 60:19 K:BB over 66 innings.

Webb (6-7) earned the win Wednesday over Milwaukee, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out four.

It's just the second win for Webb in his last seven outings -- the right-hander had been slumping coming into the day, posting a 7.54 ERA across 22.2 innings in his prior four starts. Webb's ERA now sits at 3.93 across 19 starts (119 innings) this season with a 1.12 WHIP and 93:30 K:BB. He's currently lined up to face the Rangers on the road his next time out.
