Milwaukee Brewers catcher William Contreras continued his recent strong hitting in a 17-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday. Contreras went 1-for-4 with a homer, a walk, two runs, and two RBI in the high-scoring win over the Rockies. The veteran catcher has tormented Colorado over the past two games, hitting two homers and driving in four runs. Overall, Contreras is hitting just .154 with two homers, eight runs, and four RBI across 39 at-bats. After a slow start at the plate to begin the year, it appears that Contreras is starting to heat up. He should be in starting lineups in fantasy moving forward.

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Pete Fairbanks got the final three outs to preserve a 5-4 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday. Fairbanks threw a scoreless ninth inning, striking out one and walking one, to convert his second save in as many chances this season. The veteran reliever has been excellent to begin the year, posting a 1-1 record, 1.80 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and seven strikeouts in five innings of work. Fairbanks has a solid grip on the ninth-inning role for Tampa and should continue to see the bulk of the team's save chances.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty turned in an excellent start in a 4-3 loss to the New York Yankees on Wednesday. Flaherty tossed 5 1/3 scoreless innings while striking out nine and walking three. The veteran hurler had to settle for a no-decision, however, as he departed with the game still scoreless. Flaherty has been dominant over three starts for the Tigers this season, posting a 1-0 record, 1.62 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and 21 strikeouts over 16 2/3 innings of work. His next start is scheduled against the Milwaukee Brewers on the road on Tuesday.

Houston Astros right-hander Hunter Brown turned in a quality start in a 7-6 loss to the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. Brown threw six shutout innings while striking out three, walking none, and scattering two hits in the contest. The veteran hurler unfortunately had to settle for a no-decision after handing a 4-0 lead to the Houston bullpen upon departing. Brown has been excellent for the Astros on the mound through three starts this season, posting a 1-1 record, 2.00 ERA, 0.78 WHIP, and 18 strikeouts over 18 innings of work. He will look to keep it going in his next start, which is slated for Tuesday against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Brandon Pfaadt improved his record to 2-1 in a 9-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. Pfaadt tossed six scoreless innings, scattering four hits while walking two and striking out three to earn the win for his team. The veteran hurler is off to a solid start in 2025, posting a 3.50 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, and 12 strikeouts over 18 innings of work thus far. Pfaadt is likely to make his next start against the Miami Marlins next week.
