    • Fans just one batter in defeat
      Gore (6-9) took the loss against Arizona on Wednesday, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out one batter over 5.1 innings.

      Advice: Though he's been up-and-down in terms of allowing runs this season, Gore entered Wednesday's contest with a healthy 10.3 K/9 over 105.2 frames. It comes as a surprise, then, to see just one punchout on his final stat line, though it's the second time he's posted that total over his past seven starts. In fact, Gore's production has been quite poor over that span, as he's recorded a 7.84 ERA and 24:19 K:BB over 31 innings. It appeared at times earlier in the campaign that Gore could be in the midst of a breakout, but he hasn't picked up a win since mid-June and is now sporting a 4.54 ERA, which would be the worst mark of his three-year career.

    • Brenton Doyle clobbers go-ahead home run
      Brenton Doyle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run on Wednesday in a 2-1 win over the Angels.

      Advice: Doyle will be sad to see the calendar turn to August. He put up a ridiculous 11 homers and .333/.394/.800 slash line in July. I almost did a spit-take when typing out that .800 slugging percentage for an entire month. Doyle’s up to 18 HR overall and has been one of the biggest breakout stars this season.

    • Big effort in easy win
      Happ went 3-for-4 with a walk, a two-run home run and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 13-4 win over the Reds.

      Advice: Happ batted leadoff and helped pace the Cubs in the blowout victory. The outfielder now has 17 long balls this season, bringing him closer to the 20-homer plateau for the second straight year. Happ also pushed his OPS up to .785, which is in line with the .782 and .791 figures he posted in 2022 and 2023, respectively. The 29-year-old has turned into a steady fantasy contributor who plays almost every day. Rotowire.com Today, 7:31 pm

    • Ian Happ leaves the yard as Cubs rout Reds
      Ian Happ went 3-for-4 with a homer, two RBI, three runs scored and a walk on Wednesday night, leading the Cubs in a 13-4 rout over the Reds in Cincinnati.

      Advice: Happ hustled out an infield single to start the third inning and came around to score on a two-run double off the bat of Seiya Suzuki. He then chased Reds’ left-hander Nick Lodolo by clobbering a 424-foot (105.3-mph EV) two-run shot in the sixth inning that extended the Cubs’ lead to 8-3. With his three-hit attack, the 29-year-old outfielder is now hitting .235/.342/.443 with 17 homers and 62 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Today, 7:02 pm

    • Dealing with back injury
      Manager Alex Cora said Jansen tweaked his lower back during Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: Jansen appeared to be hurting on the mound during the ninth frame of Wednesday's win, though he remained in the game and finished the inning after Boston's training staff checked on him. He'll get an extra day to rest during the Red Sox's day off Thursday, and he'll be re-evaluated before Friday's game against Texas. Rotowire.com Today, 5:14 pm
       
    • MacKenzie Gore surrenders three runs in loss
      MacKenzie Gore allowed three runs with one strikeout over 5 1/3 innings in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

      Advice: Gore stranded three hits over two innings before a triple and a wild pitch put the Diamondbacks on the board with a run in the third. A single, double, and a groundout brought a second run in to score in the sixth before Gore was replaced on the mound with one out and one runner on. The inherited runner would come in to score. The 25-year-old left-hander ends his day with a 4.54 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and a 122/44 K/BB ratio across 111 innings. He’ll take on the Giants at home on Tuesday. Rotoworld Today, 3:39 pm
       
    • Drawing back into lineup
      Doyle (finger) will start in center field and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Angels.

      Advice: The Rockies withheld Doyle from the lineup for Tuesday's series opener while he dealt with a bruised right index finger, but he still felt well enough to come off the bench to log two at-bats and play two innings in the outfield in a 10-7 loss. Doyle will take back his usual spot in center field Wednesday and should be ready to handle an everyday role moving forward. Rotowire.com Today, 2:25 pm
       
    • Leaves with heat-related illness
      Varsho was removed in the seventh inning of Wednesday's game against the Orioles due to heat illness symptoms. He went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run before leaving the game.

      Advice: The Blue Jays were trailing by five runs when Steward Berroa came off the bench in the bottom of the seventh to replace Varsho, so it's possible the 28-year-old would have stayed in the game had the score been more competitive. With the 0-for-2 showing prior to his departure, Varsho's batting average (.199) now sits below the Mendoza Line for the season. Varsho will have a team off day Thursday to recover from the illness before potentially returning to the lineup Friday against the Yankees. Rotowire.com Today, 12:27 pm

    • Varsho removed with heat illness
      Daulton Varsho left Wednesday’s game against the Blue Jays with heat illness symptoms.

      Advice: Varsho went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored before he was replaced by Steward Berroa. This doesn’t appear to be a long-term for Varsho. Rotoworld Today, 12:23 pm
