Josh Hader

HOU Relief Pitcher #71

Josh Hader struck out three Rays in two perfect innings to earn a win in a 2-1 win on Wednesday.

Hader did something you don’t see every day, he tied starter Ronel Blanco for the most swings-and-misses in this game with 11 out of the bullpen. He looked like vintage Hader with his dominant two-seam fastball eating up hitters at the top of the strike zone and didn’t let Tampa Bay off the mat even with a ghost runner on base in the 10th inning. Hader has allowed a run just one time in his last 15 appearances.
Jeremy Pena

HOU Shortstop #3

Jeremy Peña went 1-for-4 with a solo home run on Wednesday against the Rays.

Peña’s solo blast was the only extra-base hit in a game that featured just four hits, period. The homer was his third over the last week as he’s quietly having a strong season with 12 homers, 13 stolen bases, and a .278 batting average. His strikeout rate has fallen for the third consecutive season while his contact rate has risen. This is a quality ball player.
Taylor Walls

TB Shortstop #6

Taylor Walls went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored on Wednesday against the Astros.

This was a paltry showing by the Rays’ offense against Ronel Blanco and Houston’s bullpen. They had just two hits, none went for extra-bases, and scored one run on a fielder’s choice. Similarly, Walls’ is having a horrific season with a .521 OPS across 49 games played.
Zack Littell

TB Relief Pitcher #52

Zack Littell allowed one hit and one run in five innings on Wednesday against the Astros.

This was Littell’s second time facing the Astros in three starts and the Rays seemed to have scaled back what they asked of him. He was pulled after exactly two revolutions through their batting order despite allowing just one hit and one run. Yet, he’s also already past his career high in innings by 40 and had just three strikeouts versus one walk. This was his fourth straight start allowing one run or fewer as he looks to have put a disastrous July behind him.
Julio Rodriguez

SEA Center Fielder #44

Mariners’ manager Scott Servais said after Wednesday’s loss to the Tigers that he doesn’t believe Julio Rodríguez’s ankle injury to be serious.

The superstar outfielder was lifted from Wednesday’s game after tweaking his injured ankle during an at-bat in the eighth inning. Fortunately, neither Servais nor Rodríguez himself seem to think that it’s a major issue. He may sit on Thursday as a precautionary measure, but don’t expect him to land back on the injured list.
Ronel Blanco

HOU Starting Pitcher #56

Ronel Blanco was pulled from Wednesday’s start against the Rays after six innings after being hit on the hand by a comebacker.

The 30-year-old hurler had been dealing, needing just 73 pitches to navigate six scoreless innings with only two hits allowed. Had it not been for the comebacker that hit his hand, he surely would have returned for the seventh. Fortunately, X-rays came back negative for any fractures, and it sounds like Blanco should be okay to make his next scheduled start.
Kyle Schwarber

PHI Left Fielder #12

Kyle Schwarber went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in a 9-5 win over the Marlins on Wednesday.

With the Phillies down big early, Schwarber’s blast off Edward Cabrera would give them a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. The grand slam was the seventh of his career and just barely found the seats in left center field, but it counts all the same. The four RBI sent Schwarber up to 16th in the league despite almost always hitting lead-off.
Jonah Bride

MIA Third Baseman #41

Jonah Bride went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI on Wednesday against the Phillies.

Bride has been scalding hot since being anointed the Marlins’ everyday first baseman. He’s started all but one game since July 25th and has five homers, 11 RBI, seven runs scored, 17 strikeouts, and 12 walks in 61 at-bats. That could be a very helpful player in deep leagues.
Edward Cabrera

MIA Starting Pitcher #27

Edward Cabrera allowed six hits and six earned runs over four innings in a loss to the Phillies on Wednesday.

Cabrera fell apart in the fourth inning after being spotted a three-run cushion by his offense. He loaded the bases with two out before Kyle Schwarber just barely found the seats in left-center field for a grand slam. His command was waning even before the big fly as Cabrera walked four and barely threw half of his pitches for strikes. There was hope he’d build off his gem last Friday against the Padres, but Cabrera did not deliver.
Tyler Phillips

PHI Relief Pitcher #48

Tyler Phillips gave up nine hits and five earned runs across 4 1/3 innings on Wednesday against the Marlins.

The Marlins were all over Phillips here. Three of their first four balls in play were scorched over 103 MPH and they had 12 hard-hit balls in all. Even with that, Phillips was on the mound in the fifth inning with a lead, but was pulled before completing it. This continued an ugly stretch for Phillips with 17 earned runs, five walks, and eight strikeouts in three starts (11 innings) since his complete game shutout against the Guardians.
