Hudson gave up two hits, walked one and struck out one. He was the first reliever out of the bullpen after Ben Casparius began the bullpen game for the Dodgers. Hudson began the third inning by striking out Juan Soto, but soon the bases were loaded after he hit Aaron Judge, allowed a single to Jazz Chisholm and walked Giancarlo Stanton. After Anthony Rizzo popped out, Hudson threw a first pitch slider down and in to Anthony Volpe that was hit out to left center field for a grand slam. The Yankees had a lead they wouldn’t give back and the Dodgers opted to use their low leverage relievers for the rest of the game.

Roberts has one scoreless appearance for the Cubs this year and a 2.08 ERA in three games with Triple-A Iowa. After a strong spring training, perhaps Phil Maton’s injury is a window for him to establish himself enough at the big-league level to move beyond up/down reliever status. We shall see.

Maton had appeared in five games for the Cubs to date, allowing six earned runs and walking four batters while allowing one home run. Ethan Roberts will take over a low-leverage role in the Cubs pen in his stead.

Carlson was hitless in four at-bats for the Cubs in early-season going and scored one run. After a .203/.278/.336 performance for the Orioles in 2025, Carlson is unlikely to find his way into regular at bats in a major league lineup no matter where he plays next.

Presumably he’ll be starting today against the Pirates, though the lineup for the Cubs has not yet been posted. 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.

He allowed one run on two hits and walked one. He now has started two games and has a microscopic 0.38 xFIP and 1.23 ERA for the Threshers. If these trends continue, Gage Wood’s future salary will be Wage Good.

After being placed on the 60-day IL, a late May/early June return is possible for Jones as he comes back from internal brace surgery on his UCL. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Colin Beazley believes Jones could initially be used as an opener when he does return to limit his innings. Obviously, if that’s the role, Jones will be more of a waiver wire monitor in shallow leagues as he’ll have no real shot to get wins.

There was some talk that Rasmussen could start today’s game after being scratched from his Tuesday start on account of becoming a father. Instead, the plan appears to be for Steven Matz to hold that game and for Rasmussen to go Saturday.

Seigler, acquired in the offseason Caleb Durbin trade, will try to get on track in the minors after opening the season on IL with a knee issue that popped up during late March. Given Boston’s infield depth, he’s probably unlikely to play a major role this season without injuries in front of him.

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.

Morgan came on with a man on first base and one out in the 11th inning with the Padres trailing by a run. He retired both hitters he faced to escape that jam. The 26-year-old hurler then returned in the 12th after the Padres tied the game in their half of the 11th. After a sacrifice bunt from Jake McCarthy, he got Brenton Doyle to hit a ground ball to shortstop on which Willi Castro was cut down at the plate. He then hit Tyler Freeman before getting Kyle Karros on a ground ball to end the inning. He’s yet another weapon in an unbelievably deep and talented bullpen for the Padres.
