Caleb Durbin 3B | BOS
Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Plays hero in three-RBI day
Durbin went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Red Sox.
The rookie infielder had multiple extra-base hits in the same game for the first time in his career, but it was Durbin's walk-off sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th inning that was the decisive blow. After a 4-for-45 (.089) slump to begin the month of May, Durbin seems to be finding his groove, going 11-for-36 (.306) over the last 10 games with five doubles, three steals, four runs and eight RBI.

Freddy Peralta SP | TB
Brewers' Freddy Peralta: Fans six in no-decision
Peralta came away with a no-decision Wednesday, giving up three runs on six hits and three walks over five innings in a 6-5 extra-inning win over the Red Sox. He struck out six.
The right-hander piled up 108 pitches (69 strikes) as he failed to last six innings for the fourth straight start, and Peralta served up a homer for the third consecutive outing when Ceddanne Rafaela got hold of a 94.8 mph fastball in the second inning. Despite his inefficiency, Wednesday's performance was only the third time this season in 12 trips to the mound that Peralta has been tagged for more than two earned runs. He'll take a 2.77 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 66:26 K:BB through 65 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Cincinnati.

Heliot Ramos RF | NYY
Giants' Heliot Ramos: Clubs homer No. 10
Ramos went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Tigers.
The 25-year-old outfielder took Jackson Jobe deep in the fifth inning to give the Giants a 3-0 lead that quickly evaporated in the bottom of the frame. Ramos has been on fire in May, batting .345 (30-for-87) with six of his 10 homers on the season, along with 14 runs and 18 RBI in 23 games this month.

Landen Roupp SP | SF
Giants' Landen Roupp: Fans seven in Wednesday's loss
Roupp (3-4) took the loss Wednesday, giving up four runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks over four-plus innings as the Giants fell 4-3 to the Tigers. He struck out seven.
The right-hander extended his scoreless streak to 16 innings by blanking Detroit through four frames, but things fell apart for Roupp and the Giants when a Matt Chapman error put Jake Rogers aboard to lead off the bottom of the fifth. The seven Ks represent Roupp's best performance since he racked up nine strikeouts against the Angels on April 19. He'll take a 3.54 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 56:20 K:BB through 56 innings into his next start, which is likely to come at home next week against the Padres.

Tanner Scott RP | LAD
Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Another blown save Wednesday
Scott (0-1) took the loss and blew the save Wednesday as the Dodgers were downed 7-4 by the Guardians, surrendering four runs on three hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning. He struck out two.
Called in to protect a 4-2 lead with two outs in the seventh inning, Scott got the final out of that frame but fell apart in the eighth, putting the first three batters aboard before serving up a game-tying single to Nolan Jones before being replaced by Alex Vesia, who promptly surrendered a three-run homer to Angel Martinez. While he wasn't used in a save situation, it's the third time in his last five appearances that Scott has been charged with a blown save, a stretch in which he's coughed up nine earned runs in 4.2 innings. He now carries a 4.62 ERA on the season despite a 1.11 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB in 25.1 innings, and with five blown saves against 10 successful conversions, his job at closer could be in jeopardy, especially once the likes of Kirby Yates (hamstring) and Michael Kopech (shoulder) come off the IL.
-
Clayton Kershaw SP | LAD
Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw: Sharp in no-decision
Kershaw came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Guardians, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.
The veteran left-hander tossed 42 of 74 pitches for strikes before exiting the mound with the Dodgers in the lead, but a blown save from Tanner Scott denied Kershaw his first win of 2025. It was the first time in three trips to the mound that Kershaw has lasted five innings, although his prior outing was cut short by rain. He'll take a 4.91 ERA and 6:6 K:BB through 11 innings into his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Mets.

Carson Kelly C | CHC
Cubs' Carson Kelly: Back in Wednesday's lineup
Kelly (illness) is starting behind home plate and batting fifth against the Rockies on Wednesday.
Kelly is back in the lineup after being omitted from Tuesday's starting nine due to an illness, though he did pinch hit for Reese McGuire in the ninth inning. Kelly has slashed .241/.328/.389 with 11 runs, two home runs and three RBI in 61 plate appearances since the beginning of May.

Brenton Doyle CF | CHW
Rockies' Brenton Doyle: Heading to bench Wednesday
Doyle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
Doyle started the previous 10 games and will receive a day off after batting .242 (8-for-33) with three doubles, a triple, a homer and a 7:8 BB:K during that span. Mickey Moniak will shift to center field Wednesday while Tyler Freeman starts in right.

Brendan Donovan 3B | SEA
Cardinals' Brendan Donovan: Back in action Wednesday
Donovan (hip) is starting at second base and batting third Wednesday against the Orioles.
The 28-year-old was scratched from the lineup Tuesday due to hip tightness but is back in the starting nine for Wednesday's series finale. Donovan is building a breakout campaign with a .328/.390/.463 slash line through 224 plate appearances this season.
