The Milwaukee Brewers placed center fielder Garrett Mitchell on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left shoulder subluxation.

Mitchell was injured Tuesday night after a head-first evasive slide into second base in the 10th inning. He remained in the game but was removed in the bottom of the 10th after a throw to home plate.

Brewers manager Craig Counsell originally called it a right shoulder injury.

In a corresponding move, the Brewers recalled outfielder Blake Perkins from Triple-A Nashville. Joey Wiemer drew the start in center for Wednesday’s game against the Seattle Mariners.

Mitchell had come back to earth after going 4-for-10 with three home runs — including a walkoff — against the New York Mets in the Brewers’ second series of the season. He hasn’t homered since and is batting .259 with six RBIs.

Perkins, 26, is batting .292 with a homer and three RBIs in 13 games at Triple-A Nashville. He has yet to make an appearance in a major league game.

Marcus Semien went 3-for-5 and drove in two runs, and Ezequiel Duran hit a bases-clearing double in the seventh inning that blew the game open for the Texas Rangers to beat the Kansas City Royals 12-3 and complete the road sweep on Wednesday.

Though Semien’s streak of consecutive games with a home run ended at three, his leadoff single to open Wednesday’s series finale set the tone. Semien moved along to score the game’s first run, then came back to the plate to drive in Leody Taveras as part of a two-run second inning.

Semien drove Taveras in on another single in the fourth, and the resulting 5-1 lead gave Rangers left-handed starter Martin Perez all the run support he needed to pick up the win.

Perez (3-1) pitched 5 2/3 innings with three strikeouts and allowed only one run through his first five innings of work on a Bobby Witt Jr. home run. Perez finished with three runs and eight hits allowed.

Kansas City plated two in the sixth inning on a Franmil Reyes sacrifice fly to score Vinnie Pasquantino, then Matt Duffy’s RBI single to drive in Salvador Perez.

The Royals’ rally effort was fleeting, however. Semien led off the next inning reaching on MJ Melendez’s catcher interference and scored from second on Adolis Garcia’s single to center.

With Nathaniel Lowe on from a walk and Garcia aboard, Jonah Heim’s single loaded the bases to set the scene for Duran’s game-altering double and 9-3 advantage.

Texas tacked on three more runs in the ninth when Heim drove in Lowe and Josh Jung with a three-run home run, the catcher’s third round-tripper of the season.

Heim finished the day 2-for-4 with a walk. Jung, who went 1-for-4 with a walk, extended his hitting streak to eight games with a third-inning single.

Semien ran his hitting streak to six games and closed the series 6-for-11 with six RBIs.

Brady Singer (1-2) took the loss for Kansas City, which has dropped 9 of 10, including six straight.

Texas, meanwhile, picked up its fourth consecutive win, its third series win in a row and its first sweep since the season-opening matchup with Philadelphia.

Trea Turner went 3-for-5 and Taijuan Walker was strong through 6 1/3 innings to lift the visiting Philadelphia Phillies to a 5-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday afternoon in the rubber match of a three-game series.

Turner had two RBIs and two runs while finishing a triple shy of the cycle for the Phillies, who have won four of their last six games. Brandon Marsh also homered among his two hits.

Walker (2-1) surrendered two runs on five hits while walking two and fanning three to record his second straight quality start.

Walker was lifted with runners at first and second with one out in the seventh. Reliever Gregory Soto got pinch hitter Romy Gonzalez to fly out before striking out Lenyn Sosa to close the seventh and keep Walker in line for the win.

Craig Kimbrel followed by logging a scoreless eighth before Jose Alvarado worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his second save.

Andrew Vaughn hit his first home run of the season and finished with two hits for Chicago, which lost for the sixth time in its last eight games. Luis Robert Jr. provided the White Sox’s only other extra-base hit, a double in the first.

After Turner gave the Phillies a 1-0 lead two batters into the game with a solo shot, Vaughn responded with a two-run homer in the home half of the first. Marsh then went deep to lead off the second, knotting things at 2-2.

Turner put Philadelphia back on top when he singled, stole second and scored on Nick Castellanos’ two-out bloop single to left in the third. White Sox starter Mike Clevinger was forced to throw 44 pitches in the inning, which ended up being his last frame.

Clevinger (2-1) allowed three runs on six hits. He walked one and struck out one.

Tanner Banks took over in the fourth and served up back-to-back RBI doubles to Bryson Stott and Turner that gave the Phillies a 5-2 advantage.

Keynan Middleton and Gregory Santos cooled down Philadelphia’s offense by combining for three innings of hitless relief while striking out five, but the Chicago bats never came around, going 1-for-5 with runners in scoring position.

Tommy Edman drove in a career-high five runs and Nolan Gorman hit his first career grand slam to power the St. Louis Cardinals past the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks 14-5 Wednesday.

Edman hit a three-run homer and a two-run double as the Cardinals avoided a three-game sweep. Edman finished 3-for-4.

Cardinals starting pitcher Jake Woodford (1-2) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk in five innings.

Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner (0-3) allowed seven runs on seven hits and four walks in four innings.

Alek Thomas hit a two-run homer and Pavin Smith hit a solo shot for Arizona.

Arizona catcher Jose Herrera exited the game in the sixth inning after taking a foul ball off of his mask.

The Cardinals jumped on Bumgarner for a 3-0 first-inning lead.

Edman and Carlson hit doubles to produce one run. After Nolan Arenado drew a one-out walk, Dylan Carlson led a double steal and scored on Herrera’s throwing error. Willson Contreras followed with an RBI double.

Arizona countered in the second inning, when Smith walked and Thomas blasted his two-run homer to cut the lead to 3-2.

The Diamondbacks tied the game 3-3 in the third inning. Ketel Marte hit a single, Corbin Carroll followed with a ground-rule double, and Christian Walker lifted a sacrifice fly.

St. Louis surged ahead 7-3 lead in its half of the inning. Contreras walked, Tyler O’Neill laced a double and Jordan Walker hit an RBI single. Two outs later, Edman smashed his three-run homer.

Smith’s leadoff homer in the fourth inning cut the lead to 7-4.

The Cardinals expanded their lead to 10-4 in the fifth inning. Walker singled, Andrew Knizner walked, Edman belted his two-run triple and Carlson legged out an RBI infield single.

Diamondbacks reliever Peter Solomon walked the bases loaded in the sixth inning and allowed Gorman’s grand slam.

Arizona cut its deficit to 14-5 in the eighth on a double by Geraldo Perdomo and Gabriel Moreno’s RBI single. Moreno replaced Herrera at catcher.

Michael Conforto slugged a tie-breaking, two-run homer in the 11th inning, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 5-2 win over the host Miami Marlins on Wednesday afternoon.

San Francisco snapped a five-game losing streak.

Mike Yastrzemski added another two-run homer later in the 11th inning, also off reliever Devin Smeltzer (0-1), as the Giants avoided what would’ve been a three-game sweep.

Prior to Conforto’s homer, Miami’s bullpen had held the Giants scoreless for 15 innings in this series.

Entering Wednesday and since April 11, the Marlins had ranked first in the majors in bullpen ERA (0.72).

Miami has still won six of its past eight games.

Marlins starter Trevor Rogers left after three-plus innings due to left forearm tightness. He allowed one run, three hits, one walk and struck out three.

Like Rogers, Giants starter Alex Cobb also got a no-decision, pitching five innings and allowing one run, seven hits and one walk. He struck out a season-high eight batters.

Giants reliever Camilo Doval (1-2) earned the win as he escaped a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the 10th. Taylor Rogers got the last two outs — stranding the bases loaded — for his first save with the Giants.

San Francisco opened the scoring in the fourth. Wilmer Flores blooped a single and scored from first when Darin Ruf doubled off the wall in left.

Trevor Rogers left the game after that pitch. The Giants went on to load the bases with two outs against reliever George Soriano. However, Miami escaped the jam when Heliot Ramos hit a groundout.

Miami tied the score in the fifth as Garrett Hampson got an infield hit, stole second and scored on Garrett Cooper’s two-out single to left.

Just like the Giants in their fourth-inning rally, Miami went on to load the bases. But Bryan De La Cruz’s 104-mph, one-hop smash was backhanded by third baseman J.D. Davis, who threw to first to end the threat.

In the bottom of the 10th inning, Miami loaded the bases with one out. Doval then struck out De La Cruz with a 101-mph fastball up, and he struck out Avisail Garcia with a low slider.
Miami cut its deficit to 5-2 on Jon Berti’s RBI double in the bottom of the 11th.

But Taylor Rogers, a lefty, got Miami’s two toughest lefty hitters — Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Luis Arraez — to end the game.

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Ji-Man Choi will miss approximately eight weeks due to a left Achilles strain, the club said Wednesday.

Choi was placed on the injured list on Saturday, retroactive to Friday.

The Pirates said Choi doesn’t need surgery and that rest and rehab will cure the ailment. The 31-year-old South Korean will be wearing a walking boot for several weeks.

Choi initially injured the Achilles during spring training and was attempting to play through it. He was scratched from the lineup on Friday with what the team termed ankle discomfort.

Choi is batting .125 (4-for-32) with two homers and two RBIs in nine games this season.

Overall, Choi is a .237 career hitter with 63 homers and 227 RBIs in 495 games with five teams, his longest stint being with the Tampa Rays from 2018-22.

The New York Mets activated right-hander Tommy Hunter from the 15-day injured list Wednesday and gave an update on the condition of starting RHP Carlos Carrasco’s ailing elbow.

In a corresponding move, the Mets optioned RHP Denyi Reyes to Triple-A, where they intend to get him stretched out into a starting pitcher.

Hunter, 36, was placed on the IL with back spasms after just two relief appearances this season. He has yet to post a decision and carries an 11.25 ERA.

The Mets said the 36-year-old Carrasco, who was placed on the 15-day IL on Tuesday, received an injection in his ailing elbow and will be shut down for 3-to-5 days and then be re-evaluated. Mets skipper Buck Showalter declined to say what’s causing the inflammation.

Reyes, 26, has been a bright star out of the bullpen for the Mets in the early going. He has yet to give up a run and has allowed just three hits over five appearances and 6 1/3 innings.

However, with the Mets’ rotation thinning, they want to convert him to a starter to have an option later in the season. In addition to Carrasco, Justin Verlander has yet to pitch and Jose Quintana is out until at least July.

It’s expected that Joey Lucchesi will get Carrasco’s next start. Lucchesi, 29, is 2-0 with a 2.30 ERA in three starts at Triple-A Syracuse.
