Ben Gamel - Powers offenseGamel went 5-for-8 with a double, a triple, three RBI and two runs scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Tigers.
ImpactGamel hit atop the order in both games and was a driving force behind Pittsburgh's offense. In the first matchup, Gamel tallied a two-RBI triple in the fifth inning. He followed that up with a three-hit performance in the latter contest, and he came around to score on two occasions. It was Gamel's first multi-hit effort since April 21, and he entered Wednesday having gone 5-for-24 with two RBI and two runs scored in his last nine games. Gamel has generally hit fifth in the lineup with righties on the mound this season, though the team has rotated the leadoff spot in recent games.

Dillon Peters - Strong as opener againPeters allowed one hit and one walk while striking out four across 3.1 scoreless innings in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Tigers. He did not factor into th...
ImpactPeters served as the opener, with Bryse Wilson working behind him in a piggyback appearance. This was the second time that Peters has preceded Wilson in this role, the first coming in a two-inning stint on April 27. The appearance continued Peters' strong start to the season, as he has yet to allow an earned run across 16.2 frames while striking out 13 and walking six.

Jeimer Candelario - Records three hits WednesdayCandelario went 3-for-7 with two doubles and two runs scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates.
ImpactStill batting just .188 this season, Candelario is starting to show some signs of life. Factoring in Wednesday's production, the third baseman now has hits in four straight contests, including two multi-hit efforts. Candelario was much more productive at the plate the last two years than he has been so far in 2022, so fantasy managers will likely want to remain patient.
