The Chicago Cubs are set to acquire left-handed pitcher David Peterson from the New York Mets, according to sources speaking with ESPN. This move comes as Cubs infielder Dansby Swanson boosted his RBI total to 15 in the team's recent doubleheader sweep of the Mets, a performance that broke the franchise record of 10 RBIs previously held by Ron Santo in 1970. Elsewhere, Pirates first baseman Spencer Horwitz exited Wednesday's game against Seattle in the fourth inning due to discomfort in his left hamstring.

In pitching news, Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani secured a win on the mound after navigating a challenging second inning where a missed pitch allowed a runner to advance. Meanwhile, Minnesota Twins right-hander Mick Abel has been recommended for arthroscopic elbow surgery following a recent setback in his recovery process, with his return timeline to be determined post-operation.
