Brewers skipper Pat Murphy told reporters Yelich, who returned from the injured list during Tuesday’s series opener, is dealing with a little back soreness and they didn’t want to take any chances given his injury history. It sounds like a precautionary move to give him some extra time off and prevent the issue from growing into a larger concern. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day heading into Thursday’s series finale.

It’s an absolute bombshell development after Snelling made his highly-anticipated major-league debut last Friday against the Nationals, allowing three runs over five innings. The 22-year-old top pitching prospect was slated to start Thursday’s series finale against the Twins. There’s no word yet regarding how much time the 22-year-old top prospect will miss, but elbow injuries tend to lead to significant absences, especially when UCL damage is involved. There should be some clarity on his status at some point in the coming days. Marlins manager Clayton McCullough told reporters it’ll be veteran lefty Braxton Garrett, who has been outstanding at Triple-A Jacksonville this season, coming up to fill Snelling’s rotation spot.

Weiss noted that Acuña is making progress, and was able to run at roughly 50 percent prior to Wednesday’s game, but he won’t return during the club’s current homestand, which wraps up this weekend. The 28-year-old fantasy superstar is making steady progress towards returning from a hamstring strain, but it sounds like he won’t make it back until some point next week.

It’s hardly set in stone, but Eovaldi expressed confidence to reporters afterwards that he’ll be ready to take the ball this weekend against the Astros, most likely during Sunday’s series finale. It’s an extremely encouraging sign that he was able to resume throwing without any issues after being scratched from Monday’s start against the Diamondbacks with left side discomfort. There should be a more definitive update on his status point prior to the weekend.

It’s a significant loss for the injury-plagued Mets, who will be without their starting catcher until at least late June, in a best-case scenario. It’s possible he’s on the shelf until after the All-Star break in mid-July. The 24-year-old backstop suffered the injury during Tuesday’s contest against the Tigers. It’ll be defensive specialist Luis Torrens taking over the catching duties in his absence.

This is an unfortunate way for the Yankees to solve their rotation crunch, but assuming that Fried is going to spend some on the IL, it allows them to stick with a five-man group and still keep Will Warren and Ryan Weathers after Gerrit Cole is activated. Fried’s last big elbow scare came in 2023, when he missed about half of the season with a forearm strain. He also had a brief absence in 2024 with neuritis in the area.

He fanned seven. Ober threw just 89 pitches, matching Sonny Gray for the lowest total in a shutout since 2022. 89 was also how hard he threw his fastball tonight, or 88.6 mph to be exact. He gave up four hard-hit balls the 34 times he threw that pitch but just one on his other 55 offerings. Ober is now 4-2 with a 3.46 ERA despite his velocity being down 1.6 mph from last year. He also lost 1.5 mph from 2024 to 2025, and his ERA ballooned to 5.10 that season. Given that he’s a flyball pitcher with a modest 18.6 percent strikeout rate, it remains very difficult to recommend him in mixed leagues. This is really impressive what he’s doing, though. He’ll take on the Brewers on Sunday.

Woo gave up a run in the second inning on two hits. The Astros would plate a second run on two walks and a hit in the third. He settled in for three more scoreless innings, ending his day after six at 104 pitches. Woo threw 74 for strikes and generated 14 whiffs to strike out nine batters. That’s back-to-back nine-strikeout efforts. The 26-year-old right-hander will take a 3.91 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and a 47/10 K/BB ratio across 53 innings into a start against the White Sox in Seattle on Monday.

Ewing is looking at everyday at-bats with the Mets dealing with injuries in the outfield. He made a good impression on Tuesday as he was on base four times in the win over the Tigers. In the seventh inning, he had a moment he’ll never forget when he roped a line drive to right field for a triple for his first MLB hit. It traveled at 104 mph exit velocity. Ewing had only two home runs in the minor leagues, but can still provide value with a good average and speed.

Skenes gave up two hits, walked none and struck out 10. He improved to 6-2 with the win and lowered his ERA to 1.98. Skenes dominated the Rockies for eight innings with Colorado’s lone run coming off closer Gregory Soto in the ninth inning. He’s lined up to face the Phillies at home on Sunday.
