After Kevin Millwood came out with a groin strain, Charlie Furbush, Stephen Pryor, Lucas Luetge, Brandon League and Wilhelmsen combined to throw three hitless innings, with Wilhemsen notching his third save. It was the Mariners’ first no-hitter since Chris Bosio turned in one against Boston in 1993.

Goodman receives a break after handling the catching duties in three of Colorado’s last four games. He spent the other contest at DH. It’ll be a full night off for the slugging backstop, who is up to 10 round-trippers already through just 38 games this season. It’ll be Brett Sullivan behind the dish in his place on Wednesday evening.

Garcia takes a seat against Reds lefty Nick Lodolo following an impressive three-hit performance, which included a pair of home runs, during Tuesday’s series opener. The 25-year-old first baseman has recorded three consecutive multi-hit performances to raise his batting average from .231 to .270 through 37 games. It’ll be Curtis Mead getting an opportunity at the cold corner and hitting second in his place.

The Rockies have a left-hander on the mound, which means Brandon Lowe will move down from his usual spot in the order to seventh. However, Griffin has never hit above sixth in the batting order for the Pirates, even against lefties. If this is going to be a regular thing, that’s a nice boost for his counting stats.

Berroa had Tommy John surgery back in March of 2025, so he’s now well over a year into his rehab process. However, there was also no need for the White Sox to rush the 26-year-old back, and there have been no indications that he suffered any setbacks. He still has closer upside, so it will be interesting to see how he looks as he gets closer to his return to the White Sox.

Acuña Jr. is eligible to come off the injured list today, and while that appears highly unlikely, it is nice to see that he has begun sprinting up to 90 feet. The Braves may do a few more tests, and there is no word yet on whether or not he’ll need a rehab assignment before coming back, but it doesn’t seem like he’ll be out much longer.

Stewart had a big game on Tuesday night as he looks to break out of his cold stretch. However, what’s more important here is that this could be a pathway to future playing time for him and the Reds. With Eugenio Suarez (oblique) nearing a return and Nathaniel Lowe hitting well, Stewart could see more time at third base when everybody is healthy at the expense of Ke’Bryan Hayes’ playing time.

Despite being one of the better hitters on the Reds of late, Lowe has sat in each of the last two games. We know the Reds’ offense is struggling to find a rhythm right now, but Lowe deserves to remain in the batting order for the time being. He can be put right back into your fantasy lineups.

Best-case scenario for a meniscus tear is typically 4-6 weeks, but it can be considerably longer, depending on how Alvarez and doctors want to address it surgically. Alvarez was hitting .241/.317/.393 with four homers, all of which came in his first 14 games of the season. He’s had just a .539 OPS in his last 23 games. The switch to Luis Torrens as a starting catcher won’t hurt the Mets, but they definitely will feel Alvarez’s absence when Torrens needs a day off and they have to turn to Hayden Senger.

Senger will back up Luis Torrens for now. He got into 33 games for the Mets last season and hit .181/.221/.194 in 78 plate appearances.

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.
