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.

The Giants are off on Thursday, so the Giants will sit Arraez for the second straight game in the hopes that he’s ready to go on Friday. Casey Schmitt will start at second base and bat third with Bryce Eldridge in the lineup at designated hitter.

We knew Mitchell had been scratched, but now we know why. The Brewers are off on Thursday and face a left-hander on Friday, so Mitchell could return to action on Saturday against the Yankees.

Miller was just placed on the injured list on Monday with a lower back strain, but he is already throwing and will be out on a rehab assignment quickly. He should return to the Giants when first eligible next week, which may put a little bit of a damper on the excitement about Caleb Kilian in fantasy leagues. Those two could share saves as part of a committee in San Francisco.

Snell threw 38 pitches in his previous rehab start, so he should be up over 50 pitches in this one. Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reported that this could be Snell’s last rehab start, but that would mean that Snell would likely be around 60 pitches when he makes his season debut with the Dodgers. This is a situation to monitor after his start this weekend.

Aldegheri threw four innings on Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits. He will head back to Triple-A in order to allow the Angels to get a fresh arm back into the bullpen. The left-hander will get another chance shortly.

Manoah will be active out of the bullpen on Wednesday, and it remains to be seen if he’s an option to take Yusei Kikuchi’s (shoulder) place in the rotation. The 28-year-old Manoah has been working his way back from a finger contusion he suffered in spring training and will pitch in his first MLB innings since 2024 when he does get into a game.

Jarvis was hitting .305/.418/.445 with four home runs, 25 runs scored, 20 RBI, and 15 steals in 33 Triple-A games. The 25-year-old will also start at shortstop and bat ninth on Wednesday in his MLB debut. With Mauricio Dubon now playing the outfield while Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring) is on the IL, there is a chance for Jarvis to carve out some playing time. However, Ha-Seong Kim (finger) is also close to a return.

With Michael Harris II (quad) feeling better, the Braves are going with a reserve infielder instead of another outfielder. Azocar was playing well in Triple-A, hitting .270/.348/.420 with a pair of homers, 11 RBI, and eight stolen bases in his first 113 plate appearances. He could return to the Braves on a minor league contract if he clears waivers.

There’s no word yet on why. Sal Frelick is now leading off, Jackson Chourio moves to center field, and Tyler Black is in the lineup in left field.

Updating a previous item, it seems that the plan for Woodruff to begin his throwing routine on Saturday is an optimistic one and will now depend on how his shoulder responds to the minor procedure. Brewers manager Pat Murphy believes that “Woodruff will only need a couple of bullpens before he rejoins the rotation,” but this all feels very precarious to us, given his injury history and the need for fluid to be drained.
