  • Wyatt Langford reaches four times against Mariners
    Wyatt Langford went 3-for-3 with a run scored and a walk against the Mariners on Wednesday.

    Advice: Langford has his best day at the plate so far, reaching in all four plate appearances. He hit a hard double off the center field wall in the second, but stumbled going around second and was caught on the bases. He drew a walk in the fourth and added two more base hits, scoring on a single by Jonah Heim in the sixth. The 22-year-old outfielder is now slashing .261/.340/.318 with 11 runs scored across 100 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 8:19 pm
     
  • Shifts rehab to Triple-A
    Garrett (ankle) went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts Wednesday in his first rehab game for Triple-A Rochester.

    Advice: Garrett shifted his rehab assignment to Syracuse after going 7-for-26 (.269 average) with seven walks, two RBI, two runs and one stolen base over his eight-game stint with Double-A Harrisburg. The 28-year-old made six of his eight starts with Harrisburg in left field, so he should be an option for the Nationals at DH or in the corner outfield when he ultimately returns from the 10-day injured list. Garrett produced an .800 OPS over 268 plate appearances with Washington in 2023 before undergoing season-ending reconstructive surgery on his left ankle last August. Rotowire.com Today, 7:38 pm

  • Resumes on-field work
    Yelich (back) was spotted running on the field prior to Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Pirates, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: While Yelich's ability to take part in some form of on-field activity is a positive sign as he works his way back from a lower-back strain, he has yet to resume swinging a bat or playing catch since landing on the 10-day injured list on April 16. The Brewers haven't set a firm target date for Yelich's return to the lineup, but at the very least, he doesn't look as though he'll be ready to come off the IL when first eligible this weekend.

  • Randy Arozarena goes deep in victory over Tigers
    Randy Arozarena clubbed his third home run of the season on Wednesday, helping to propel the Rays to victory over the Tigers.

    Advice: Arozarena got the Rays on the board in the home half of the first inning, blasting a game-tying 397-foot (105.0 mph EV) solo shot off of Jack Flaherty. The 29-year-old outfielder went down on strikes in each of his other three at-bats on the night, finishing the evening 1-for-4. His 2024 season is off to a brutal start offensively, slashing an anemic .158/.223/.263 with three homers, seven RBI and four stolen bases. Rotoworld Today, 7:22 pm
