    • Yordan Alvarez remains out of lineup on Wednesday
      Yordan Alvarez (family matter) remains out of the Astros’ starting lineup on Wednesday.

      Advice: The 26-year-old slugger missed Tuesday’s game due to a family matter and is still away from the club on Wednesday. Yainer Diaz will function as the team’s designated hitter and cleanup hitter on Wednesday while Victor Caratini starts behind the dish against Garrett Crochet and the White Sox.

    • Remaining out Wednesday
      Alvarez (personal) isn't in the Astros' lineup Wednesday versus the White Sox, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Alvarez will miss his second game in a row Wednesday as he continues to tend to a family matter, and he remains day-to-day. His absence will move Yainer Diaz into the DH spot while Victor Caratini starts behind the plate. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:15 pm
       
    • Collects 18th save
      Suarez struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to record his 18th save of the season in a 5-2 win over the Phillies.

      Advice: One day after blowing his first save chance of the season, Suarez was back in his usual form, firing nine of 13 pitches for strikes as he shut down the Phillies' 6-7-8 hitters. The 33-year-old right-hander came into 2024 with only one career save, but he's having a breakout campaign as the Padres' closer, posting a 1.17 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB through 30.2 innings.

    • Sitting again Wednesday
      Wong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: After making four consecutive starts behind the plate, Wong finds himself on the bench for the second game in a row. Wong still looks to be the Red Sox's No. 1 catcher, but manager Alex Cora may have wanted to reward backup Reese McGuire with another start after he drew two walks in Tuesday's 4-3 win.

    • Robert Suarez quiets Phillies to collect 18th save
      Robert Suarez fired a perfect ninth inning on Wednesday against the Phillies to record his 18th save of the season.

      Advice: Suarez got the call to protect a three-run margin in the ninth inning on Wednesday afternoon in Philadelphia and needed just 13 pitches (nine strikes) to end the contest. He struck out Brandon Marsh to open the frame and got Edmundo Sosa to line out before coaxing a game-ending ground out from David Dahl. The 33-year-old righty has converted 17 of 18 save opportunities this season and boasts a microscopic 1.21 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 28/6 K/BB ratio across 29 2/3 innings (29 appearances).

    • Sean Murphy goes 4-for-4, homers twice in victory
      Sean Murphy went 4-for-4 and hit a pair of two-run homers as the Braves bested the Tigers 7-0 on Wednesday.

      Advice: A big game for a slumping hitter. Murphy, who missed most of April and May, hadn’t achieved even a two-hit game in his 15 previous starts this season. He had totaled one homer and four RBI in 56 plate appearances. His OPS jumped from .408 to .625 today. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:31 pm
       
    • Breaks out with two homers
      Murphy went 4-for-4 with a pair of two-run homers and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Tigers.

      Advice: Murphy extended Atlanta's lead to 3-0 in the third inning with a two-run blast off Tarik Skubal before cranking a second two-run homer in the fifth off Mason Englert. It's the first multi-hit game of the year for Murphy, who was batting just .135 with a lone homer through his first 15 games this season. Perhaps Wednesday's outburst is a sign of things to come for the 29-year-old backstop -- Murphy posted an .843 OPS with 21 homers across 438 plate appearances last year.

    • Shifts to 60-day IL
      The Orioles transferred Wells (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

      Advice: The move frees up a 40-man roster spot for Nick Maton, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday. Wells is out for the season after undergoing an internal brace procedure on his right elbow this week. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:21 am

    • Orioles shift Tyler Wells to 60-day injured list
