    Cedric Mullins went 2-for-3 with a homer and a walk against the Guardians on Tuesday.
    The Orioles could have sat Mullins against the lefty tonight — they did sit their other platoon guys — but he’s simply been too good. The homer came off left-handed reliever Joey Cantillo. It was just his second in 111 plate appearances against southpaws since the beginning of last year.
  • LAA Center Fielder #7

    Jo Adell hit his 13th homer as the Angels scored all of their runs in the sixth inning of a 6-5 win over the A’s on Wednesday.
    Adell’s homer came off Osvaldo Bido, the third pitcher in the frame after starter JP Sears was lifted and Grant Holman failed to retire any of the three batters he faced. Adell was losing playing time before Mike Trout returned and seemed to be very much in danger of falling out of the Angels’ plans, but he’s timed this hot streak very well; he’s hitting .333 with seven homers in 55 plate appearances over his last 15 games.
    Inside the fantasy impact of Chapman's injury
    Eric Samulski unpacks the significance of San Francisco Giants third-baseman Matt Chapman's hand injury that will cause him to miss more than the 10-day IL minimum.
  • LAA Starting Pitcher #28
    Kyle Hendricks surrendered three runs — two earned — in six innings Wednesday for a win over the A’s.
    JP Sears outpitched Hendricks today, but Hendricks outlasted him and got the win after the Angels scored six times in the sixth. It’s Hendricks’ fourth victory to go along with six losses. It’s hard to see him improving a whole lot on his current 5.20 ERA, but he’s giving the Angels a chance; this makes eight straight outings in which he’s pitched at least five innings and allowed no more than four runs. We’ll see if that holds up with a Yankee Stadium start next on the docket.
  • LAA Starting Pitcher #48
    Reid Detmers struck out two in a perfect ninth for his second save Wednesday against the A’s.
    Kenley Jansen was down today after working the previous two days and four of the previous five. Detmers made it look easy in his place, earning his second career save eight days after his first one. We still say he belongs in the rotation, but that’s probably not happening at any point this year. He’s pitched 11 scoreless innings with 18 strikeouts in his last 11 appearances.
  • ATH Starting Pitcher #38
    JP Sears fanned nine while allowing two runs over 5 1/3 innings Wednesday in a no-decision against the Angels.
    Sears left up 3-0 in the sixth, but the Angels went on to score six times in frame, with two of the runs being charged to Sears. He actually wound up getting ejected three batters after departing. Still, it’s definitely nice to see a nine-strikeout game from Sears. His previous season high was seven, and he had fanned a total of 19 batters in his previous seven starts. Sears will take a 5.08 ERA into his next start at home against the Astros.
  • ATH Left Fielder #25
    Brent Rooker went 4-for-5 with two homers and a double in a losing cause Wednesday against the Angels.
    The A’s needed Rooker to do it one more time in the ninth, but he flew out to center in a one-run game. It’s Rooker’s first two-homer game of the year and seventh of his career. He has 15 homers and 15 doubles through 70 games.
  • CWS Shortstop #10
    Chase Meidroth is on the bench for Wednesday’s showdown against the Astros.
    It’s a rare off-day for Meidroth, who has emerged as Chicago’s primary shortstop this season, hitting .293/.383/.363 with two homers and eight steals through 44 games. He lacks the power ceiling to emerge as a viable option in shallow mixed leagues, but his batting average, on-base skills and speed give him some appeal in deeper fantasy formats. It’ll be Vinny Capra filling in at shortstop and batting ninth on Wednesday night.
  • DET Starting Pitcher #21
    Jackson Jobe will undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery.
    It’s a crushing development for Jobe, who entered the season as one of the consensus top pitching prospects in baseball. The hard-throwing 22-year-old struggled to consistently miss bats in his first extended opportunity in the majors, posting a serviceable 4.22 ERA and 39/27 K/BB ratio across 49 innings (10 starts) before hitting the injured list in late May with a flexor strain. He’s likely to miss a significant portion of the 2026 campaign given the timing of the surgical procedure.
  • NYY Relief Pitcher #30
    Luke Weaver (hamstring) threw a bullpen session on Wednesday in Kansas City.
    Weaver has already completed a pair of bullpen sessions and is trending in a positive direction as he makes a warp speed recovery from a left hamstring strain, which was originally expected to keep him sidelined for at least one month. The 31-year-old stopper is still at least a couple weeks from making it back, but he’s making some real progress. Devin Williams will continue handling the closing duties for New York in his absence.
  • NYY Right Fielder #27
    Giancarlo Stanton (elbows) went 1-for-4 with an RBI double on Wednesday in a minor league rehab game for Double-A Somerset.
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters they’ll determine Stanton’s next steps at some point later this week. The 35-year-old has gone 3-for-7 with four RBI through two games at the outset of his rehab assignment. There should be some clarity regarding how many additional contest he’ll need, but that number might be shorter than anticipated since Stanton obviously won’t require any defensive reps before making it back to New York for his season debut.
  • NYY Starting Pitcher #0
    Marcus Stroman (knee) allowed one run — zero earned — over 3 1/3 innings on Wednesday for Double-A Somerset.
    Stroman punched out six batters, issued two walks and threw 46 pitches (27 strikes) in his rehab debut. He was sitting in the 89-mph range with his sinker, according to The Athletic’s Brendan Kuty. The 34-year-old veteran righty is aiming to rejoin New York’s rotation mix at some point in the coming weeks as he wraps up his rehabilitation process from knee inflammation.
