Bubic allowed just two hits and one walk in the ballgame. He carried a no-hit bid into the fifth inning until Lenyn Sosa smacked a leadoff double, but Bubic rallied and stranded him right there. He generated 17 swings and misses on 88 pitches on the evening — seven of those on his fastball — while posting a strong CSW of 34 percent. He’ll attempt to keep the good times rolling as he carries a 2.50 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and a 23/7 K/BB ratio (18 innings) into Thursday’s showdown against the Tigers in Motown.

He’ll be batting fifth in his return to the lineup on Friday afternoon. Suzuki should be plugged into fantasy lineups immediately and picked up in any shallow leagues where he happened to be dropped. The 31-year-old figures to be a middle-of-the-order producer again in 2026.

In what had been a wild back-and-forth affair throughout the night, Bogaerts finally delivered the crushing blow as he ambushed a 1-0 sinker from Valente Bellozo for a 399-foot (108.3 mph EV) game-winning blast. Bogaerts finished the day 2-for-6 with a pair of runs scored and is now slashing .241/.281/.389 with two homers and eight RBI on the season.

He made it through six no-hit innings before Ben Rice pulled a single past Nick Kurtz in the seventh. Springs struck out six and generated 14 whiffs, including four against the slider and five against both his fastball and changeup. Springs wasn’t quite a must-start, but this certainly bolsters the resume ahead of an upcoming set against the Rangers. He’s got a 1.47 ERA and 15 strikeouts in 18 1/3 innings through his first three turns.

Rooker looked visibly uncomfortable after a first-inning swing. The Athletics later updated that Rooker is suffering from right flank discomfort. The Athletics replaced him with Lawrence Butler. We’ll see what comes of this, but Rooker could miss real time.

No next step for Rodón has been determined yet, but it’s good news that he made it through a bullpen session. Rodón’s hamstring injury is an additional deterrent to his return from bone spurs in his elbow, but it shouldn’t be long before he begins a rehab assignment.

It’s the rookie’s first day off of the season, and it’s just a routine off day. Javier Baez will play shortstop and bat seventh with Colt Keith at first base and Gleyber Torres at DH. McGonigle is off to a strong start to his MLB career, hitting .292/.370/.438 with a 7/6 K/BB ratio in 12 games.

The Miami native capped off another impressive showing in his hometown by taking Marlins starter Eury Pérez deep in the fifth inning for his third round-tripper of the young season. He also picked up his third theft of the year in this one. The talented 22-year-old rookie sensation is off to a phenomenal start, hitting .366 (15-for-41) with three homers, eight RBI and three steals through 12 games. He looks like a potential franchise cornerstone for Cincinnati to build around for years to come and is making a significant all-around fantasy impact already.

Wheeler’s fastball velocity was down for the second consecutive outing, averaging just 92.9 mph after sitting near 96 mph last year. The bigger concern is his inability to sustain velocity, as he dropped from nearly 94 mph in the opening frame to barely 92 mph by the fourth inning in his latest rehab start. He threw 61 pitches (44 strikes) in his third rehab tune-up. The 35-year-old former ace can still be an effective fantasy contributor at reduced velocity, but his chances of reclaiming ace status appear slim if that extra gear doesn’t return. All indications are that he’ll rejoin Philadelphia’s rotation for his season debut at some point in the near future.

There is absolutely no stopping Walker right now. He launched a hanging slider from Brad Lord over the center field fence to push his home run total up to six on the season. That’s tied for the league-lead as of Wednesday afternoon and is just one shy of the six he hit in 111 games all of last season. This is far and away the most sustained power he’s ever had. On top of that, his swing decisions have trended way up and there seems to be a meaningful adjustment to his bat path that’s finally allowed him to lift that ball. Remember, he’s still only just 23 years old. It’s wheels up for Walker.
