Jump allowed three hits and a walk while striking out nine over five scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Wednesday.

Jump's nine strikeouts reset his season high for the third start in a row. He's also kept runs off the board in three of his six career starts so far. The 23-year-old now has a 2.04 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 35:10 K:BB across 35.1 innings. He's also yet to allow a home run, which is particularly useful in a hitter-friendly home park. Jump's next projected start will be the biggest test of his young career, as he is lined up for a home start against the Dodgers.

Wilson was removed from Wednesday's game against the Giants with a left shoulder injury, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Wilson's shoulder began to bother him after he made an awkward move to avoid a tag at home plate in the fifth inning, and the A's eventually made the call to take him out of the game in the ninth. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but the team could provide an update on his status ahead of Thursday's series finale.

Holliday (groin) struck out in his lone at-bat during Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

The Orioles held Holliday out of the lineup for four consecutive games to manage his groin soreness, but the middle infielder was able to make his first appearance since Saturday's win over the Dodgers, serving as a pinch hitter Wednesday. Baltimore has a team day off Thursday, so Holliday has an extra day to recuperate ahead of Friday's series opener versus the Nationals.

Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Tigers.

Goldschmidt continues to victimize Tigers southpaw Tarik Skubal, taking the left-hander deep twice Wednesday. The veteran first baseman has now gone 7-for-13 (.538) with four homers in his career versus Skubal, adding to his impressive resume against the reigning two-time Cy Young Award winner. Goldschmidt is turning back the clock in 2026, slashing .297/.355/.568 with 14 homers, eight doubles, 39 RBI and 30 runs over 211 trips to the plate.

Bednar secured the save Wednesday against the Tigers, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.

Detroit brought the possible tying run to the plate in the ninth inning, but Bednar shut down any potential rally by retiring Dillon Dingler for the game's final out. The 31-year-old right-hander had a 5.14 ERA for the season as of May 18, but a scoreless streak of 12 innings since then has brought his ERA down to 3.27. Bednar also has a 1.27 WHIP and 39:12 K:BB over 33 innings while successfully converting 16 of his 18 save opportunities.

Weathers (3-5) notched the win Wednesday against the Yankees, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out six.

Weathers outdueled Tigers southpaw Tarik Skubal on Wednesday, keeping the ball in the park on a night where Skubal was taken yard three times. That also makes it back-to-back quality starts for Weathers, which is an encouraging sign after the southpaw gave up 16 runs across his previous three outings. Weather has a respectable 3.95 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 95:24 K:BB over 86.2 innings, and he's set to get another crack at Detroit at home in his next appearance.

Skubal (3-4) took the loss Wednesday against the Yankees, allowing four runs on four hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out nine.

The Yankees made the most out of their hits, taking Skubal deep three times Wednesday. The All-Star left-hander served up a trio of home runs for the sixth time in his career, and he's now given up six homers in his last three starts since coming off the injured list after surrendering only two in his first seven outings of 2026. Skubal will be trying to right the ship when he brings a 3.32 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 66:8 K:BB over 59.2 innings into a scheduled rematch with the Yankees next week in New York.

Wells picked up a hold Wednesday against the Angels, allowing one hit and one walk in 1.1 scoreless relief innings. He struck out four.

Wells remains a strong source of holds in fantasy leagues that record them, collecting 10 on the season so far. The right-hander has been an effective multi-inning weapon out of Baltimore's bullpen in 2026, logging a 3.25 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 39:9 K:BB over 36 innings. His 27 appearances are already the most he's made in a season since his rookie campaign in 2021, though it's worth noting that he was working as a starter and/or injured for the past four seasons.

Basallo went 2-for-5 with a pair of two-run home runs in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Angels.

It was the first career multi-homer game by Basallo, who simultaneously matched a career high in RBI on Wednesday. The 21-year-old backstop occasionally sits versus southpaws -- he's posted a .505 OPS over 54 at-bats against left-handers -- but he's mashed right-handed pitching to the tune of an .868 OPS across 172 at-bats this year. Through 249 plate appearances overall, Basallo is slashing .257/.317/.465 with 12 homers, nine doubles, 35 RBI and 29 runs scored.

Burrows did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on two hits and one walk with three strikeouts over six innings.

Burrows allowed a run in the first inning but cruised from there, retiring the final seven batters he faced and logging his first quality start since May 27. The 26-year-old seems to have benefited from having his turn in the rotation skipped last time around after allowing 16 runs (13 earned) through his first three June starts. He'll carry a 5.48 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 69:31 K:BB across 85.1 innings this season into a home matchup with the Twins next week.
