Chicago White Sox outfielder Gavin Sheets (heel) left Wednesday night's shutout loss to the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers early with a jammed left heel. Sheets is being further evaluated. Before leaving the game prematurely, Sheets went 1-for-2 with a double. He was replaced in right field by Corey Julks. Even if Sheets' injury isn't serious and he's day-to-day, there's a good chance he won't be in the starting lineup for Thursday's contest against the visiting Atlanta Braves. The 28-year-old outfielder had been hot entering Wednesday's series finale against the Dodgers, going 8-for-22 (.364) with two doubles and a run scored in his last six games to raise his season line to .241/.336/.405 with seven long balls, 28 RBI and 22 runs scored in 237 at-bats for the Pale Hose.UPDATE: X-rays came back negative on Sheets, and he's considered day-to-day with a bruised heel.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez fanned four batters over seven innings pitched, allowing five hits and two earned runs in his start against the visiting Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday. After surrendering seven runs in his last start against the surging Houston Astros, Rodriguez grabbed his ninth win of the season during Wednesday's strong effort for the O's against the first-place Guardians. While the 24-year-old right-hander is still not necessarily performing like the top pitching prospect in baseball that he was a year ago, he'll still take a solid 3.72 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with an 89:25 K:BB across 82 1/3 frames into his next scheduled appearance in Tuesday's clash on the road against the first-place Seattle Mariners.

Baltimore Orioles closer Craig Kimbrel notched his 17th save of the season in Wednesday afternoon's win over the visiting Cleveland Guardians, striking out three hitters in the ninth inning. Kimbrel recorded the final out as he got Guardians outfielder Jhonkensy Noel to swing and miss on a breaking ball, giving the Orioles a 4-2 win. The 36-year-old nine-time All-Star's struggles have been exaggerated at times this season, as he's posting a 2.54 ERA and 0.99 WHIP while fanning 42 and walking 12 over 28 1/3 innings as Baltimore's go-to stopper.

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson stayed raging-hot in Wednesday afternoon's win over the visiting Cleveland Guardians, clubbing his 26th home run of the year. Henderson extended his on-base streak to 33 games with Wednesday's showing, first driving an RBI single into center field off Guardians right-hander Carlos Carrasco to bring home a run for the Orioles and tie the game in the second inning, and later tying the game at two as he crushed a solo homer to right-center field during the fifth frame. Over 95 at-bats in the month of June, the 22-year-old rising superstar is slashing .351/.447/.701 with eight big flies, 16 RBI, 28 runs scored, and six stolen bases. It's going to be fun watching Henderson and Aaron Judge jockey for the American League MVP Award this summer.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Gavin Stone dominated on the mound, striking out seven during his complete-game shutout against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday night. Stone hurled LA's first shutout since Walker Buehler did it back in April 2022, and it was the Dodgers' first from a rookie since back in 2013. The 25-year-old former top prospect is locked into the starting rotation with the team dealing with so many injuries to their pitchers, compiling a 2.73 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with 70 punchouts and 20 walks covering 89 innings this year. Stone will look for the 10th win of his breakout campaign when he gets the ball next week in a matchup against the division-rival Arizona Diamondbacks at Chavez Ravine.
