This may have been Gray’s best start of the second half. He worked his fastball, sinker, sweeper, and cutter beautifully while mixing just enough changeups and curveballs to keep the Brewers guessing. All six of those pitches forced at least one swing-and-miss and Gray didn’t have an inning in which he threw more than 20 pitches. It’s a shame JoJo Romero blew his win when Eric Haase hit a home run on the first pitch he threw out of the bullpen. Alas, this was still a tremendous start from Gray against one of the hottest lineups in the National League. He’s scheduled to face the Reds at home next time out.

Arenado was scratched mere moments before the first pitch of Wednesday’s game. The 34-year-old will likely miss a game or two at least, but his status for the weekend will be determined over the coming days. Nolan Gorman will likely get the starts at third as long as Arenado can’t play.

Soriano has been atrocious with Miami this year while allowing 17 runs in 18 1/3 innings. He’ll try and get right in the minors with Cade Gibson now occupying his roster spot.

Gibson gives the Marlins a fresh bullpen arm. The 27-year-old threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings in his only appearance with Miami back in April.

Knack gets to make a spot start against the Marlins on Wednesday. The 27-year-old has struggled in his time with the Dodgers this season, but there are worse streaming options; mainly due to him facing one of the weaker lineups in the sport.

Feyereisen heads back to Triple-A to make room for Landon Knack. Feyereisen should be up and down throughout the 2025 campaign as long as the Dodgers keep him on the 40-man roster.

Taveras will be making his Seattle debut against Gunnar Hoglund and the Athletics in the series finale. The 26-year-old has occasionally flashed offensive upside, but while he will get playing time against right-handed pitching, his chances of being a fantasy-relevant player seem slim based on his struggles the last year-plus.

The reasons for why Arenado was removed from the lineup are unknown at this time, but it happened right before first pitch. The 34-year-old is on the bench with with Nolan Gorman taking his spot in the lineup. There should be an update on Arenado’s status soon.

Thomas, 25, is back with Tacoma with Leodys Taveras officially on the active roster after being claimed off waivers. Thomas could get another chance if the Mariners need extra outfield depth, but it seems unlikely to be soon.

Kurtz gets the matinee off even with right-hander Bryan Woo on the mound for Seattle. The 22-year-old rookie will take a seat with Seth Brown in the lineup in Kurtz’s absence.

Moreno was scratched Tuesday due to soreness in his side, and the Diamondbacks will have him begin Wednesday’s contest on the bench again. He was available off the bench Tuesday, so there’s a chance he’ll be available for this one as well. In the meantime, Jose Herrera will start behind the plate.
