  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Exits early with potential injury

    Wrobleski exited Thursday's contest against the Pirates in the fifth inning due to an apparent injury, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

    Wrobleski took a line drive off his thigh with two outs in the bottom of the fifth frame, and although he attempted to cover the bag on what ended up being a single for Bryan Reynolds, manager Dave Roberts ultimately decided to remove the pitcher. The southpaw finished his day having tossed 4.2 innings, giving up four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one batter. More information on Wrobleski's status will likely be provided in the near future.

  • Cole Carrigg CF | COL

    Rockies' Cole Carrigg: Records first big-league homer

    Carrigg went 2-for-4 with a solo home run against the Cubs in a loss Thursday.

    Carrigg achieved a milestone in the fourth inning, when he cranked a 418-foot blast to right field for his first major-league long ball. The talented rookie has started three straight games since being called up Tuesday and has gone 3-for-11 with a triple, a walk and Thursday's homer. Carrigg has yet to attempt a steal, but he swiped 29 bags over 57 games for Triple-A Albuquerque before joining the big club, so that skill should eventually show up as well.

  • Gleyber Torres 2B | DET

    Tigers' Gleyber Torres: Lifts off in win Thursday

    Torres went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 11-0 win over the Twins.

    Torres was one of six Detroit players to go deep in the easy win. The infielder has only four home runs so far this season, though he did miss about a month of action due to an oblique strain. Torres has been a steady performer when healthy with a .282 batting average and .790 OPS, and he's been even better lately with a .357 batting average over his last 15 games.

  • Rockies' Brett Sullivan: Swats two homers in loss

    Sullivan went 3-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs in a loss to the Cubs on Thursday.

    Sullivan got the start behind the plate and batted out of the No. 9 slot in the order. He hit two of Colorado's three long balls (all solo shots) to post the first multi-homer game of his career. In fact, coming into Thursday, Sullivan had gone deep just three times across 206 career MLB plate appearances. Sullivan's performance against the Cubs was also his first multi-hit effort since April 29, and with one of baseball's most productive hitting catchers (Hunter Goodman) ahead of him on the depth chart, Sullivan doesn't figure to see extensive playing time moving forward.

  • Tigers' Spencer Torkelson: Launches 10th home run

    Torkelson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 11-0 win over the Twins.

    It was a pretty typical Torkelson performance, as he struck out in his other three at-bats. The slugger had no home runs through his first 23 games of the season but has now gone deep 10 times in his last 45 contests. Torkelson figures to continue to struggle with making consistent contact, but he can still provide some fantasy value if he can maintain his power stroke.

  • Tigers' Dillon Dingler: Collects three more hits Thursday

    Dingler went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Thursday's 11-0 win over the Twins.

    Dingler enjoyed the series against Minnesota, as he went 8-for-15 with two home runs, four runs scored and five RBI during the three-game set. Overall, it's been a great start to the season for the Detroit catcher with 16 long balls and 49 RBI across 62 contests. The homer total is third among all MLB catchers, while Dingler leads his position group in RBI.

  • Shane Bieber SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Shane Bieber: Scoreless start in rehab outing

    Bieber (elbow) tossed six scoreless innings Thursday, allowing five hits and a walk while striking out five batters in a rehab outing with Triple-A Buffalo, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    Bieber was making his second start with Buffalo, and he was far more successful this time around, notching 46 strikes over 62 total pitches after surrendering eight runs over his prior two rehab outings. The right-hander was able to average 91.4 mph on his fastball, peaking at 93 mph on the day. Bieber may need just one more rehab start before making his 2026 debut with the Blue Jays.

  • Seiya Suzuki RF | CHC

    Cubs' Seiya Suzuki: Crushes grand slam Thursday

    Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in a 9-3 victory against the Rockies on Thursday.

    Suzuki came up with the bases loaded in the fourth inning and bashed a homer to left field to give the Cubs all the runs they would need to secure the victory. He also struck out twice in the contest, but the homer was enough to extend his hitting streak to eight games -- though Suzuki has yet to notch multiple knocks during that span. The 31-year-old is up to 10 home runs on the season as he pursues his second straight 30-homer campaign.

  • Ryan Feltner SP | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Begins strong but fades in loss

    Feltner (2-2) took the loss against the Cubs on Thursday, allowing six runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 4.1 innings.

    Feltner was perfect through three frames, but the bottom fell out thereafter. Chicago got to him for four runs on four hits and a walk in the fourth inning, with the big hit being a grand slam off the bat of Seiya Suzuki. Feltner returned for the fifth and issued two walks while retiring just one batter, and both runners put on base came around to score after his departure. It was a disappointing outcome after Feltner looked like he might be turning a major corner over his previous two outings, during which he gave up just one run over 12 frames. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for a rematch against the Cubs in Chicago.

  • Edward Cabrera SP | CHC

    Cubs' Edward Cabrera: Rebounds for fourth victory

    Cabrera (4-3) notched the win over Colorado on Thursday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 5.1 innings.

    After being pounded by the Giants for eight runs over 3.2 frames in his first start back from the injured list in his previous outing, Cabrera looked better against the Rockies. The right-hander did give up two more homers, but they were both solo shots, and Colorado couldn't put any other runs on the board. Cabrera tossed 51 of 83 pitches for strikes and secured his first victory since April 28. The five long balls he's allowed across his past two appearances are certainly a concern, but Cabrera is lined up for a more promising matchup in his next start, which is scheduled to be a rematch against the Rockies -- this time in Chicago.
