Brayan Peña - C - Tigers

Brayan Pena went 3-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored in the Tigers' 11-7 victory over the Indians on Wednesday.

Pena doesn't play much -- Wednesday was just his 14th game of the year -- but when he does, he usually hits. His three-hit game raised his average to .304, and with starting catcher Alex Avila struggling it may mean more at-bats for Pena in the near future.

Carlos Santana - C - Indians

Carlos Santana went 2-for-4 with a home run in the loss to the Tigers on Wednesday.

After a red hot April, Santana was hitting just .182/.316/.333 heading into Wednesday's game. Backup catcher Yan Gomes has been playing more frequently lately, but Santana's bat plays at first base and he even gets an occasional game at DH, too. No matter how they arrange it, Santana will be in the middle of the Indians lineup more often than not.

Michael Brantley - OF - Indians

Michael Brantley went 3-for-5 with three RBI in the Indians' loss to the Tigers on Wednesday.

Brantley did all his damage with three singles, bringing his RBI count to 24 and his batting average to .309 in the process. And the left fielder is 7-for-16 (.438) in his last four games with nine RBI in those 16 at-bats. The 26-year-old is well on his way to an encore of a 2012 season in which he hit .288 with 37 doubles.

Justin Verlander - S - Tigers

Justin Verlander allowed five runs over five innings but earned the win Wednesday as the Tigers beat the Indians.

Verlander had to work for his fifth win, needing 110 pitches to get through five. He gave up 10 hits, including a home run, but was aided by his team putting up nine runs in the same span. It marks the third-straight start in which Verlander has been less-than-great, seeing his ERA rise from 1.55 to 3.66 since May 5. There's still little reason to worry, though, and he'll take the mound again Monday against the Pirates.
May 23 - 12:34 AM
Ubaldo Jimenez - S - Indians

Ubaldo Jimenez allowed six runs over four innings in the Indians' loss to the Tigers on Wednesday.

Jimenez had been on a bit of a roll before Wednesday, having not allowed more than two runs in any of his previous four starts. But the Tigers got to Jimenez for seven hits and three walks in his shortest outing since April 16. His next start will come Monday against the Reds.

Donnie Veal - R - White Sox

White Sox optioned LHP Donnie Veal to Triple-A Charlotte.

He's clearing room for the return of John Danks on Friday. Veal holds an 8.59 ERA and 2.73 WHIP over a couple stints with the big club this season but could get another chance later on.

John Danks - S - White Sox

John Danks (shoulder) will be activated from the disabled list to make his season debut Friday against the Marlins.

White Sox manager Robin Ventura finally made the decision official on Wednesday night. Danks posted a 3.18 ERA during his four rehab starts, but he also had a 15/13 K/BB ratio and is still dealing with diminished velocity. Mixed leaguers should stay away for now.

Clay Buchholz - S - Red Sox

Clay Buchholz moved to 7-0 on Wednesday after holding the White Sox to one run over seven innings.

The Red Sox won the game 6-2. Buchholz was brilliant yet again, yielding only five hits while fanning four batters. He has a 1.73 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 73/27 K/BB ratio in 72 2/3 total innings this season and should be able to keep the dominance going next week in an interleague matchup against the struggling Phillies.
