It’s fair to say that Wrobleski was squeezed at times during this outing, but he did struggle to throw strikes as seen in four walks and just 62-of-109 pitches landing in the zone. He was able to pick up six strikeouts, but it’s worth noting that he generated just seven swings-and-misses before exiting. Still, the results are the results, and Wrobleski continues to limit the damage to the tune of a 1.50 ERA with a 4-0 record. He’ll look to improve both against the Cardinals next weekend.

Marte was jettisoned by Cincinnati earlier this week following just one appearance where he allowed four runs and recorded only one out. The 31-year-old journeyman reliever holds an underwhelming 5.94 ERA across 113 2/3 innings at the big-league level since 2022.

Smith gets the nod to return to San Francisco’s relief corps to replace injured lefty Matt Gage (knee). The 26-year-old recorded two outs during his season debut last month after coming over from the Tigers in a trade back in March. He’ll operate in low-leverage spots for the Giants.

Gage has emerged as a key cog in San Francisco’s high-leverage mix with an encouraging 2.63 ERA, 1.29 QHIP and 19/13 K/BB ratio across 24 innings. The well-traveled 33-year-old southpaw appears to have found a more permanent home with the Giants after making 49 appearances in the big leagues between four different organizations since 2022.

Gasser draws the starting assignment for Wednesday’s showdown against the Giants at American Family Field after compiling a respectable 3.38 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 38/8 K/BB ratio across 26 2/3 innings over seven starts at Triple-A this season. The 27-year-old southpaw has allowed seven runs over 8 1/3 innings during a pair of starts for the Brewers this year. He offers some streaming appeal in extremely deep mixed leagues since San Francisco has been a middle-of-the-road offense against left-handed pitchers this season. It’ll likely be a one-and-done spot start for Gasser unless Milwaukee decides they’re ready to replace a struggling Brandon Sproat in the rotation.

Zastryzny hits the shelf after posting a strong 2.45 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 20/10 K/BB ratio across 22 innings this season. There is no timetable for his return. The 34-year-old’s absence is a significant hit to Milwaukee’s left-handed relief depth.

As expected, Realmuto is handling the catching duties and hitting seventh following a brief one-game absence due to a left wrist contusion that he suffered over the weekend. The 35-year-old backstop is hitting .250 (5-for-20) with one homer and one steal over his last seven games.

Burns draws the starting assignment a couple days after being scratched from Monday’s scheduled start due to illness. The dynamic 23-year-old emerging ace has recorded a spectacular 1.96 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 72/20 K/BB ratio across 64 1/3 innings over 11 starts this season.

Garcia remains sidelined for the fourth consecutive contest due to a hamstring strain that he suffered last weekend. The 26-year-old remains in a bit of a holding pattern as the Royals have held off on sending him to the injured list for now. There’s a chance he’s ready to return at some point during the club’s upcoming four-game series against the Twins. Fantasy managers should still consider him day-to-day.

Naylor returns to first base and hitting third following a one-game absence due to back spasms earlier this week. The 28-year-old power/speed combo threat is hitting .254/.317/.357 with six homers, 25 RBI and 12 steals in 57 games this season.

Three more hard-hit balls for Dingler today, including a 361-foot homer off Nick Martinez. It was Dingler’s 14th homer, tying him with Shea Langeliers for second among catchers. Hunter Goodman has 15. Dingler is also second with 43 RBI, three behind Liam Hicks.
