Arozarena sparks Mariners offense in victory over Red Sox.
Randy Arozarena had a 2-for-5 performance in the victory against the Red Sox, scoring one run and stealing a base. Following today's win, Arozarena's batting average stands at .205, with 18 hits, four home runs, and seven stolen bases over 24 games this season. The experienced outfielder maintains impressive stolen base statistics.
Jorge Soler was the leadoff batter on Wednesday.
Jorge Soler led off on Wednesday for the Angels in a 3-0 defeat against the Pirates. Soler achieved an 1-for-4 performance, with one strikeout. He has hit safely in his last four games and is enjoying a strong April, posting a .268/.321/.493 slash line with 4 home runs and 8 RBIs.
Edgar Quero with an RBI on Wednesday.
Edgar Quero went hitless in two at-bats, but he drew two walks and drove in a run on Wednesday against the Twins. Recently, Quero has been a standout for the struggling White Sox. His run-scoring fielder's choice briefly put them ahead after a dramatic fifth inning, though the bullpen soon lost the lead. Additionally, he demonstrated his keen eye at the plate by drawing two walks. Quero was known for getting on base frequently in the minors and has brought that talent to the majors, achieving two walks, two strikeouts, and a .417 OBP over seven games in his first week.
Miguel Vargas collects two hits.
Miguel Vargas returned to the lineup for Chicago and notched 2 hits in their 6-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins. These hits increased his season tally to 11 hits in 79 at-bats. This outing slightly boosted his batting average, bringing it to .139 for the season. In the past three games, Vargas has improved, posting an average of .278 and an OPS of .722. However, over the last 10 games, his average is a lower .133, highlighting the difficulty of sustaining performance over a longer period.
Yandy Díaz with another multi-hit game.
Yandy Díaz delivered a 3-for-6 performance, including two doubles and three RBIs, in an extra-innings victory against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.
In the seventh inning, Yandy drove in two runs, putting the Rays ahead 4-3. The 33-year-old veteran further increased Tampa Bay's lead to 7-5 in the 11th with a double that brought Jonathan Aranda home. Despite his overall season slash line of .230/.271/.380, Yandy is gaining momentum, now hitting .274/.328/.484 with three home runs, 10 RBIs, and one stolen base over his last 15 games. Today's game marks his sixth multi-hit game of the month and his second with three hits.
Adrián Morejón faced difficulties against the Tigers.
Adrian Morejón faced difficulties against the Tigers on Wednesday during a one-inning relief appearance. He gave up three hits and two earned runs, without recording any strikeouts or issuing any walks. Morejón used 21 pitches to complete the inning, with 13 being strikes. Aside from today's performance, Morejón has been performing exceptionally well this season, boasting a 2.38 ERA over 11 games and 11 1/3 innings, with a 1-0 record and one save.
José Iglesias achieves two hits in defeat against Detroit.
In a game where the Padres were defeated 6-0 by the Tigers, José Iglesias achieved 2 hits. This brought his season total to 15 hits in 54 at-bats, resulting in a batting average of .278, reflecting his steady performance. Over the last three games, Iglesias has maintained a .333 average, demonstrating his consistency in reaching base.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. with a single.
In Wednesday's 7-6 defeat against the Rays, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. managed 1 hit in 5 at-bats. Gurriel has a batting average of only .172, with 15 hits and 14 RBIs over 87 at-bats. Despite the low average, he remains a contributor in producing runs.
Luis Robert Jr. went hitless on Wednesday.
Luis Robert went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk in the White Sox’s 6-3 defeat against the Twins on Wednesday. Despite his struggles, discussions about Robert often focus on the potential for a trade to a postseason contender. The Dodgers are reportedly interested, largely due to Andy Pagés' ongoing struggles both offensively and defensively. Robert is currently slashing .145/.267/.250 over the first 22 games of the season, which is lower than Pagés’ .183/.284/.366. However, Robert is a superior defender and has demonstrated All-Star potential.
Daysbel Hernández with another win.
Daysbel Hernández is unexpectedly leading the Braves in wins, having secured his third victory of the year against the Cardinals on Wednesday. In a high-pressure situation, the right-hander pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out two to earn the win. He currently holds a 3-0 record with a 2.38 ERA over 11 1/3 innings.
Andy Pagés homers again.
In the loss to the Cubs, Andy Pagés went 1-for-4, hitting a home run and earning one RBI.
Following today’s defeat, Pages has a batting average of .183, with four home runs and seven RBI over 22 games this season. While playing away games, Pagés has been more successful, with all four of his season home runs occurring on the road. In the past seven games, his OPS is .808, showing that he has been reaching base and hitting for power more frequently during this period. Pagés required a solid showing, given his recent struggles at the plate. He aims to use this performance as a stepping stone for his next game.
Adolis García did not get any hits on Wednesday.
Adolis García had a challenging game, going 0-for-4 in the Rangers' 5-2 loss to the A's. Despite the hitless performance, he contributed one RBI and struck out once. Currently, Garcia's OPS stands at .717, with 4 home runs and 11 RBIs in the 2025 season.
Andy Ibáñez recorded two hits. Yulieski Gurriel was struck out.
In Wednesday's 2-0 victory over the Padres, Andy Ibáñez achieved a 2-for-3 performance. He batted in the cleanup spot for the Tigers and took on the role of third baseman. Although Ibáñez has had a slow start to the season with a .211 average and .697 OPS over 15 games, his versatility and ability to deliver in crucial moments will ensure he remains a valuable option for Detroit, even in a limited capacity. In the same game for the Padres, Yulieski Gurriel appeared as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-1, striking out.
Yordan Álvarez contributes an RBI.
Yordan Álvarez went 1-for-2 on Wednesday in a 3-1 victory against the Blue Jays. He added an RBI and also earned a walk. This marked the thirteenth RBI of the season for the 27-year-old power hitter, who has had a somewhat slow start. His current stats are .221/.323/.338 with 2 home runs over 96 plate appearances.
The Angels called Víctor Mederos up from High-A Tri-City on Wednesday.
The Angels demoted Víctor Mederos to High-A after he didn't secure a spot on the major league roster following spring training. Since then, he has posted a 3.52 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP, with a 14:3 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 15.1 innings, earning him another opportunity in the majors. Considering he has given up 10 earned runs in only 8.1 innings during his MLB career, he is likely to be used in low-pressure situations with the Halos.
