Emerson Hancock
SP SEA
Hancock did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Angels, allowing three runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second straight quality start for Hancock, who's pitched to a 3.71 ERA in three outings (17 innings) since rejoining the Mariners after allowing six runs in just two-thirds of an inning in his first start this year. Hancock will look to continue the upward trend in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week against the A's.

Colt Keith
2B/DH DET
Keith went 1-for-2 with a walk, a two-run home run and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 7-4 victory over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Keith has seen his playing time dip recently, as this was just his fourth start over Detroit's last eight contests, though he did start all three games of the series against Houston. The second-inning home run was the first of the season for the 23-year-old, who is still batting just .181. Keith may have to get on a hot streak soon to hold onto anything close to an everyday role.

Javier Báez
SS/3B/CF DET
Baez went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 7-4 win against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old capped the scoring for Detroit with a third-inning grand slam to extend the lead to 7-1, and those insurance runs proved pivotal since Houston rallied for three runs between the fifth and seventh frames. Baez has seen most of his action lately in center field and now has seven starts at the position since making his first start there April 21, and he's taken advantage of the consistent playing time with four doubles, a homer, seven RBI and a .360 average during that span.
Brenan Hanifee P DET Wed 4/30/25 7:14 PM
Brenan Hanifee
P DET
Hanifee (2-0) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Wednesday's 7-4 victory over the Astros. He allowed two hits and a walk, while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
Detroit starter Jackson Jobe only managed to cover four innings, which opened the door for Hanifee to earn his second win out of the bullpen this season. The righty has been stellar for the Tigers, allowing just two earned runs across 16.1 innings while notching 12 strikeouts. After posting a 1.84 ERA during the regular season last year, Hanifee has carved out a role as a reliable reliever in Detroit.
Jeremy Peña SS HOU Wed 4/30/25 7:12 PM
Jeremy Peña
SS HOU
Pena went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
It was the fourth straight game batting in the leadoff spot for Pena, and he's excelled in the role by going 8-for-17 with two doubles, a homer, four RBI and three runs. The shortstop has hit safely in 19 of his past 20 games and seems likely to stick atop the lineup for the near future given his current form.

Trout was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mariners due to left knee soreness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Ron Washington said after the game that Trout's removal was precautionary, which suggests that the star outfielder's injury isn't too serious. Trout himself added that his knee began to feel better after he left the game, per Fletcher, and he'll try to return to action Thursday.

Cal Quantrill
SP MIA
Quantrill (2-3) took the loss Wednesday against the Dodgers, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk across 3.2 innings. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
After pitching a clean first inning, Quantrill gave up a two-run, solo homer to Max Muncy in the second before the Dodgers tacked on three more runs in the third. The 30-year-old Quantrill has given up four or more runs in four of his first six starts this season. His ERA is up to 8.10 with a 1.80 WHIP and 16:10 K:BB through 26.2 innings.
Tommy Kahnle RP DET Wed 4/30/25 7:06 PM
Tommy Kahnle
RP DET
Kahnle earned the save Wednesday against the Astros after giving up a walk and no hits across 1.1 scoreless innings. He struck out two.
EDGE Analysis
Kahnle recorded the final out of the eighth inning and returned for the ninth, when he retired the side in order. It's the first save since April 18 for the right-hander, while Will Vest went 3-for-4 in save chances during that 11-day stretch. Vest appears to be the current favorite at closer given the recent usage, but Kahnle remains in the mix and has gone 5-for-6 in save opportunities with a 0.77 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB across 11.2 innings this year.
Kyle Stowers OF MIA Wed 4/30/25 6:59 PM
Kyle Stowers
OF MIA
Stowers went 4-for-4 with two home runs, a double and four total RBI in Wednesday's 12-7 loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Stowers was one of the few Marlins with any answers for Tony Gonsolin on Wednesday -- he launched a two-run, 423-foot blast off the right-hander in the fourth inning before adding an RBI double in the sixth. Stowers would cap a perfect day at the plate with a second homer off Yoendrys Gomez in the ninth. The 27-year-old Stowers has been a bright spot for Miami this year, slashing .323/.396/.510 with four homers, 19 RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases through 111 plate appearances. He's logged at least one hit in nine of his last 12 games, going 15-for-39 (.385) in that span.

2B MIL
Turang was scratched from the Brewers' lineup against the White Sox on Wednesday due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Isaac Collins will get the start at second base and bat in the leadoff spot while Turang, who has gone 13-for-40 (.325) with three stolen bases, eight runs and five RBI over his last 10 games, will get a day off to recover.
