| 5/23/2013 | Delmon Young, LF (Phi) | Young was 2 for 4 with his second home run in as many days Wednesday as the Phillies claimed a 3-0 win at the Marlins. Analysis: Young started the season 10 for 52 before going 4 for 8 the last two games, so maybe he's finally settling in with his new club. |
| 5/23/2013 | Cliff Lee, P (Phi) | Lee recorded his 12th career shutout Wednesday, limiting the Marlins to three hits in the Phillies' 3-0 victory. Analysis: Lee also went 2 for 4 at the dish as he collected his third win in four starts. |
| 5/23/2013 | Jeff Samardzija, P (ChC) | Samardzija held the Pirates to one run, three hits and a walk over seven innings on Wednesday, though he received the loss in a 1-0 defeat. Analysis: Samardzija is 2-6, though his ERA and run support average both sit at 3.25. |
| 5/23/2013 | Francisco Liriano, P (Pit) | Liriano fired seven shutout innings with nine strikeouts against the Cubs' in a 1-0 Pirates victory Wednesday. Analysis: Pittsburgh's acquisition of Liriano is looking like a coup at this point, as the left-hander is 3-0 with a 1.00 ERA in three starts. |
| 5/23/2013 | Andrew McCutchen, CF (Pit) | McCutchen went 2 for 4 with two doubles in Pittsburgh's 1-0 win over Chicago on Wednesday. Analysis: McCutchen is 9 for 22 over his last five contests, with five of those hits coming as doubles. |
| 5/23/2013 | Gio Gonzalez, P (Was) | Gonzalez limited San Francisco to one run and four hits over 7 1-3 innings in Washington's 2-1 victory Wednesday, though he didn't record a win.

| 5/23/2013 | Bryce Harper, LF (Was) | Harper hit his 12th homer and tripled, accounting for both the Nationals' runs in a 2-1 win at San Francisco on Wednesday. Analysis: Harper's first multi-hit game since April 27 comes after he was criticized for not making a crucial play in the outfield in Tuesday's 4-2 loss, a criticism he agreed with and took responsibility for. |
| 5/23/2013 | Ross Wolf, P (Tex) | Wolf pitched five strong innings for his first big league win in his first start in the majors as the Rangers avoided a sweep with a 3-1 victory against the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday. Analysis: The 30-year-old Wolf came up from Triple-A Round Rock for a spot start after the Rangers scratched rookie Nick Tepesch because of a blister. He beamed in front of the cameras afterward and said "awesome" a lot after escaping trouble in the fourth and fifth and getting a big boost from Neal Cotts when he was replaced in the sixth. |
| 5/23/2013 | Madison Bumgarner, P (SF) | Bumgarner held the Nationals to one run and four hits over seven innings but it wasn't enough for a victory in the Giants' 2-1 loss to Washington on Wednesday. Analysis: It was a much more characteristic outing for Bumgarner after he gave up nine runs in 4 2-3 innings his last time out. He remains 4-2 while his ERA improved to 2.89. |
| 5/23/2013 | Jarrod Parker, P (Oak) | Parker fell to 2-6 in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers. Analysis: Parker was down 3-0 just four batters into the game, but went seven innings for Oakland. The right-hander retired 11 of the next 12 Rangers after Adrian Beltre's homer and allowed six hits with five strikeouts and one walk in seven innings. |
| 5/23/2013 | Derek Norris, C (Oak) | Norris had two hits in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Rangers. Analysis: Norris is batting .216 with little or no effectiveness. |
| 5/23/2013 | Jose Bautista, RF (Tor) | Bautista put on a fantasy show Wednesday in a 4-3, 10-inning win over the Jays. Analysis: Bautista homered twice and drove in the winning run with a 10th-inning single as he went 4 for 4 and earned fantasy owners a big night of production. Fantasy owners fantasize about such a performance. |
| 5/23/2013 | Mark Buehrle, P (Tor) | Buehrle did not get a decision Wednesday in a 4-3, 10-inning win over the Jays. Analysis: Buehrle allowed two runs and four hits in seven innings, matching his longest outing of the season. Buehrle has not won since April 15 against the Chicago White Sox, a span of seven starts. Buehrle struck out four straight in the second and third, and ended his outing by recording 11 straight outs. |
| 5/23/2013 | Jeremy Hellickson, P (TB) | Hellickson did not get a decision Wednesday in a 4-3, 10-inning loss to the Jays. Analysis: Hellickson bounced back after giving up career highs of eight runs and 10 hits against Baltimore in his last outing. He allowed two runs and four hits in a season-high eight innings but closer Fernando Rodney blew the save to cost him and fantasy owners the win. |
| 5/23/2013 | Jose Molina, C (TB) | Molina had two hits Wednesday in a 4-3, 10-inning loss to the Jays. Analysis: Molina owns a .609 OPS in part-time duty. |
