Harper went 4-for-5 with two doubles and a run in Wednesday's loss to the Braves.

Harper singled in each of his first two at-bats before notching a double and scoring in the fifth frame. He added another double in the ninth inning and his four-hit effort was his ninth multi-hit game in his last 14 contests. Over that stretch, Harper has batted .458 with 16 extra-base hits including six homers, 13 runs, 16 RBI and three stolen bases. The dominant span has his season-long stats up to a .318 average with 10 long balls, 31 RBI, 31 runs and six stolen bases over 154 at-bats in 39 games this season.

Pederson went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks Wednesday against the Mets.

Pederson went yard in the first inning to record his 11th home run of the season. Through his first 14 games in May, Pederson hit just .051 with one home run. However, across his last five starts, he's tallied seven hits in 14 at-bats, with four home runs -- three came Tuesday against the Mets -- 10 RBI and four runs scored. On the campaign, Pederson has maintained a .260/.331/.606 line across 118 plate appearances.

Manager Aaron Boone said after Wednesday's win over the Orioles that Stanton is dealing with right ankle inflammation rather than a calf strain as previously announced, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

The 32-year-old's injury was labeled as a calf issue when he exited Tuesday's contest and when he was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier Wednesday, but it instead appears he's managing an ankle issue. It's unclear exactly how long Stanton will be out, but Boone hopes the slugger will be able to be activated when first eligible June 4.

Stanton was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right calf strain.

Stanton underwent an MRI on Wednesday morning after suffering the injury during Tuesday's contest against the Orioles, and he'll now be sidelined for at least the next 10 days. The severity of the strain is not yet clear, and there's no official timeline for the 32-year-old's return. Joey Gallo (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list in a corresponding move.

Miller isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Miller has started against just one left-handed pitcher this season, and he'll take a seat with southpaw Reid Detmers on the mound for the Angels on Wednesday. Eli White is starting in left field and batting ninth.

Reyes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

After kicking off May by producing a 1.256 OPS through the Guardians' first six games of the month, Reyes has taken a big step back offensively. In his subsequent 11 contests, Reyes has gone 4-for-36 with one extra-base hit (a double) and 14 strikeouts. Josh Naylor will handle designated-hitter duties Wednesday while Reyes gets a day off to clear his head.

Winker went 2-for-5 with two runs in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.

The Mariners' first loss to the Athletics in 14 games was a mixed bag for Winker, who was productive out of the leadoff spot but also committed a fielding error that allowed the go-ahead run to score in the seventh inning. Winker's current .219/.310/.300 slash line is still falling well below expectations based on his previous body of work, but he's shown a bit more life at the plate recently by reaching safely in 10 of his last 11 games.

Lewis (knee) went 2-for-4 in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday, a game that marked his 2022 debut.

Lewis finally logged major-league game action after completing his recovery from June 2021 knee surgery. The talented outfielder wasted no time breaking the ice at the plate after a productive rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma, and he should be a near-everyday fixture in the Mariners lineup moving forward barring any setbacks.

Canha is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants, Deesha Thosar of the New York Daily News reports.

Canha turned in a pair of two-hit games in the first two contests of the series, but he'll get a breather for the series finale. With Canha on the bench, the Mets will roll out an outfield of Jeff McNeil, Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marte from left to right.

Ford is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

With Kyle Lewis (knee) making his return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and serving as Seattle's designated hitter, Ford's time as a regular in the Mariners lineup looks to be over. He'll be on the bench Wednesday for the third game in a row.
