    • Sharp in second win
      Blach (2-2) earned the win over the Guardians on Wednesday, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks over seven innings while striking out five.

      Advice: Blach got touched for two runs in the first inning, but was fortunate to receive plenty of run support early after the Rockies got to Logan Allen for seven runs over the first two frames. The lefty would not allow another run after the first and produced three 1-2-3 innings en route to posting his second win of the season. Blach struck out a season-high five batters in the contest while going seven innings for the first time in the campaign. He's now logged back-to-back quality starts and has won two of his last three decisions (spanning four outings). Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
       
    • Defeated in big-league debut
      Schwellenbach (0-1) took the loss against Washington on Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five batters over five innings.

      Advice: Schwellenbach got his first big-league opportunity despite having not pitched beyond the Double-A level in the minors. The right-hander was locked in through four scoreless frames but had to settle for a so-so debut after Lane Thomas tagged him for a three-run homer in the fifth. Schwellenbach did show some positive traits with 60 of 88 pitches thrown for strikes and 11 whiffs, and there's a good chance he fared well enough to earn at least another turn in the rotation.

    • Gives team five solid frames
      Estes allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out five batters over five innings in a no-decision against Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

      Advice: The only run Estes allowed came in the fourth inning, when he began the frame by hitting Isaac Paredes with a pitch before serving up a run-scoring triple off the bat of Brandon Lowe. Promisingly, Estes recovered to retire the next three batters without allowing Lowe to cross the plate, and he finished off his outing with another scoreless inning. Though Estes holds a 6.10 ERA through 20.2 frames this season, he's held his own in three of his four starts -- the poor earned-run average is largely due to an eight-run, 3.2-inning blowup against Houston in his second appearance.

    • Returning to majors
      The Mets will recall Young from Triple-A Syracuse on Thursday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: With the Mets running low on fresh bullpen arms and Jorge Lopez slated to be DFA'd, Young will return to New York for his second big-league stint of the season. The 30-year-old southpaw threw three scoreless innings across two games with the Mets in early May, and he's posted a 1.59 ERA through 11.1 innings in the minors. Although he's had success limiting runs, Young has been known to give up a fair amount of walks, so he will presumably work in middle relief once he officially gets the call to the majors.

    • Homers in victory
      Urias went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, two total runs and two total RBI in a 6-1 win against Boston on Wednesday.

      Advice: Urias singled home a run in the second inning and tacked on a solo homer in the seventh. The productive output came in a rare start for the infielder, who was in the lineup for just the third time over the Orioles' past eight games. Urias has struggled to gain traction on offense this season, slashing .219/.265/.344 with two homers, five RBI and 11 runs through 68 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:40 pm
       
    • Starting to heat up
      Donovan went 3-for-4 with a double and a hit-by-pitch in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Reds.

      Advice: This was Donovan's third multi-hit effort in the last five games. He's now gone 17-for-49 (.347) over his last 13 contests, though he has zero home runs and six doubles in that span. The 27-year-old is up to a .245/.326/.382 slash line with four homers, 25 RBI, 26 runs scored, 14 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 233 plate appearances this season. Donovan's lack of steals and mediocre sprint speed -- in the 42nd percentile, per Statcast -- makes him an odd fit for the leadoff role, but that's where he's hit for most of the campaign. Masyn Winn has also seen time at leadoff versus left-handed pitchers recently, but Donovan remains atop the order versus righties. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:28 pm

    • Dominic Canzone slugs solo homer in win
      Dominic Canzone went 1-for-4 with a solo homer as the Mariners topped the Astros 2-1 on Wednesday.

      Advice: Canzone tied the game at one run with a solo homer off Justin Verlander in the fifth inning. It was the only run Seattle would score through nine innings in Wednesday’s pitcher’s duel before winning it in extras. The 26-year-old outfielder is slashing .203/.262/.492 with five homers and nine RBI across 65 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:26 pm
       
    • Hits first homer of season
      Carpenter went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Reds.

      Advice: The long ball was Carpenter's first of the campaign, as he took Frankie Montas deep in the third inning. Playing time has been generally sporadic for Carpenter since he returned from an oblique injury, as Alec Burleson's strong hitting has made him a priority to be in the lineup. Carpenter is batting .250 with four RBI, four runs scored and a 5:13 BB:K over 42 plate appearances as an option at designated hitter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:19 pm
       
    • Goes deep Wednesday
      Perkins went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in Wednesday's 10-6 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Perkins went yard as part of a five-run third inning for the Brewers. That homer was his first since he hit a long ball against the Cubs on May 4. He hit a poor .164 with a .388 OPS over 20 contests between homers. For the season, Perkins is slashing .232/.318/.361 with five homers, 17 RBI, 25 runs scored, five stolen bases and five doubles across 176 plate appearances while seeing a majority of the playing time in center field.
