SD Starting Pitcher #27

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Nick Pivetta struck out 10 over seven innings in the Padres’ 1-0 win over the Nationals on Wednesday.

Pivetta gave up just three singles and walked none while throwing 90 pitches today. It’s his 19th career 10-strikeout game and second of this season. He’s pitched seven scoreless innings four times this year, though the other three came in his first five starts in April. He’s now 8-2 with a 3.36 ERA, and he’s in line to face the Phillies next week.

Jorge Soler

LAA Designated Hitter #12

Jorge Soler was removed from Wednesday’s game against the Rockies with left hip irritation.

It sounds like a precautionary move since the Angels were leading by a touchdown in the fifth inning when Soler was replaced by Jo Adell in right field. He finished 0-for-2 with a walk out of the leadoff spot. There should be an update on his status following the contest.

Spencer Schwellenbach

ATL Starting Pitcher #56

Spencer Schwellenbach (elbow) is close to facing hitters in a live batting practice session.

Schwellenbach has progressed to throwing high-intensity bullpen sessions and should be ready to face hitters at some point soon. The 26-year-old has been working his way back from surgery to remove bone spurs from his elbow back in mid-February. He’ll need a handful of rehab starts before he’s ready to return to Atlanta’s rotation, most likely after next month’s All-Star break.

Cristian Javier

HOU Starting Pitcher #53

Cristian Javier (shoulder) allowed two runs and recorded two outs in a minor league rehab start for Double-A Corpus Christi.

Javier allowed two hits and a pair of walks, throwing 28 pitches (16 strikes) in his lone inning of work. The 29-year-old will continue building up his pitch count and stamina for the next couple weeks before returning to Houston’s rotation.

Logan Webb

SF Starting Pitcher #62

Logan Webb improved to 3-4 on Wednesday, tossing seven shutout innings while allowing one hit and one walk in a win over the Brewers.

Webb struck out four and lowered his ERA to 4.25 this season. He struggled in his first start back from a knee issue, but that outing came at Coors Field. The right-hander looked like his vintage self against the Brewers, which the Giants will need going forward as they battle the Rockies to escape the NL West cellar. Webb’s next matchup is scheduled to come at home against the Nationals, who entered Wednesday leading MLB in runs per game.

Robert Gasser

MIL Starting Pitcher #54

Robert Gasser took the loss on Wednesday against the Giants, yielding one earned run on five hits over five innings pitched.

Gasser struck out five and walked one in his best start across three tries in 2026. His results have been better in Triple-A this year, which Wednesday’s outing more accurately reflected. This was likely just a spot start as Milwaukee pieces the back half of its rotation together series by series. Chad Patrick worked four innings out of the bullpen in a piggyback role on Wednesday.

Keaton Winn

SF Relief Pitcher #67

Keaton Winn pitched 1 2/3 innings to earn his first save of the season in Wednesday’s 1-0 win over the Brewers.

Winn becomes the sixth Giants pitcher to earn a save this season, but nobody has collected more than three. Caleb Kilian is one of those relievers with three, but he would’ve been pitching for the third time in four days on Wednesday. Winn’s metrics are strong enough that he could be considered the best arm in this bullpen, but manager Tony Vitello has mixed and matched all year long.

Wyatt Langford

TEX Left Fielder #36

Wyatt Langford (forearm) went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer on Wednesday in a minor league rehab game for Double-A Frisco.

Langford got four more at-bats under his belt during his latest rehab contest and appears poised to rejoin Texas’ lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Guardians. He’s been on the shelf working his way back from a forearm strain since late April.

Corey Seager

TEX Shortstop #5

Corey Seager (back) went 0-for-3 on Wednesday in a minor league rehab game for Double-A Frisco.

Seager played six innings at shortstop in his second rehab contest. He’s gone 1-for-5 at the plate during that span. The 32-year-old could potentially rejoin Texas’ lineup for Friday’s series opener against Cleveland.

Stephen Kolek

KC Starting Pitcher #32

Stephen Kolek received a no-decision on Wednesday against the Reds, tossing seven innings of two-run ball while striking out eight.

Kolek allowed six hits and two walks in the outing, lowering his ERA to 3.32 this season. He opened the year on the injured list but has filled in admirably while Kansas City has battled pitching injuries. His next start projects to come at home against the Rangers, where he’ll continue to lean on grounders and strike-throwing.

Chase Burns

CIN Starting Pitcher #26

Chase Burns received a no-decision on Wednesday against the Royals, striking out nine while limited Kansas City to two earned runs over six innings pitched.

Burns allowed four hits and one walk as his ERA now sits at 2.05 this season. The young righty had his start pushed back from Monday due to an illness, but it didn’t affect his ability to miss bats. He possesses some of the best underlying metrics among all big-league starters and draws a favorable road matchup in San Diego next time out.
