Pitching Performances

Shohei Ohtani continued his dominance on the mound Wednesday night, striking out eight batters over seven scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory over the Giants — his second consecutive quality start while remaining out of the lineup as he works through a batting slump. Meanwhile, Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski dominated the Padres for seven innings before exiting with a cramp in his right quadriceps, marking the second time in three starts he has left due to cramping issues.

Injury Updates

Juan Soto returned to the starting lineup with a home run Thursday, providing a boost to the injury-riddled Mets a day after an injury scare. The veteran outfielder's timely return comes as New York navigates a crowded IL that has tested the team's depth. Across the league, Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is enduring the worst slump of his career, going hitless in his last seven games comprising a 0-for-27 stretch — a remarkable decline for the two-time World Series MVP who acknowledged he needs to "figure it out."

Transactions & Off-Field News

The Minnesota Twins sent struggling right fielder Matt Wallner to Triple-A and promoted right-handed pitcher Zebby Matthews to start against the Marlins on Thursday as they seek to spark an offense that has scuffled. In Tampa, the Rays and local officials announced a tentative $2.3 billion agreement for a new ballpark funded by a mix of public and private money, marking a significant step toward securing the franchise's long-term future in the market. At Rate Field, the White Sox confirmed a fan who fell approximately 10 feet into the visiting bullpen during Wednesday's 6-5 win over Kansas City was doing well following the incident.
