Contreras was hit by a pitch on his hand during Tuesday’s game. His X-rays came back negative, but he’s understandably a little sore today, in the best-case scenario. There is still time for the Cardinals to put Contreras on the IL if that’s the route they choose to go, but so far, all we know is that he will now start on Wednesday. Alec Burleson will play first base, and Jose Fermin will start in right field.

Gray had allowed just one run on three hits in his first six innings of work, but he allowed a walk and two singles early in the seventh inning and watched all three runners come around to score against the bullpen. Not that it would have mattered since the Cardinals couldn’t put any runs on the board against Mitch Keller. Gray will hope for better luck next week in a good matchup against the Nationals.

The 24-year-old is 8-1 with a 2.28 ERA and 1.12 WHIP in 67 innings at Triple-A this year. We’re not sure what more he has to prove at this level to get a spot in the Cardinals’ rotation.

With the score tied at 4-4, Freeman singled in Shohei Ohtani to give the Dodgers the win on a day that will best be remembered for Clayton Kershaw picking up strikeout number 3,000. Freeman is now hitting .309/.381/.500 on the season, and it seems pretty likely he’ll be joining Kershaw in Cooperstown someday.

The Guardians had a homer parade early against Shota Imanaga with Santana, David Fry, and Lane Thomas giving them an early 3-0 lead. Then, Tanner Bibee unraveled and they couldn’t fight back. Santana has been the same steady, boring contributor he’s always been so far this season with 10 home runs, four stolen bases, and a .708 OPS just past the halfway point of the season.

The Braves had a furious, two-out rally which led them to victory here and Olson put the exclamation point on it with his grand slam. After singles by Jurickson Profar and Ozzie Albies knocked Yusei Kikuchi out of this game with two outs in the sixth inning, Sean Murphy launched a three-run home run to give Atlanta their first lead. Then, Angels’ reliever Ryan Zeferjahn allowed a single to Michael Harris II and walked both ninth hitter Nick Allen and Ronald Acuña Jr. which set Olson up for his grand slam. It was his first RBI in over a week and first home run in two weeks as he and his Braves try to shake loose from the malaise that’s overcome their season.
