Wednesday features four more Wild Card Series games on Major League Baseball’s 2023 playoff schedule. The Rangers, Twins, Diamondbacks and Phillies all have the opportunity to advance in the postseason bracket, while the Rays, Blue Jays, Brewers and Marlins are trying to keep their seasons alive and force decisive Game 3s on Thursday. Rays vs. Rangers got the slate started, and you can follow along here for key updates from Wednesday’s action.
Wednesday’s schedule is the same as Tuesday’s, with Phillies-Marlins wrapping up the night.
The Braves, Dodgers, Orioles and Astros await the winners of the Wild Card Series and the League Division Series round kicks off Saturday. Game times and broadcast information have not yet been announced by the league for the ALDS and NLDS.
The regular season came to an end Sunday with the Astros clinching the AL West title and the No. 2 seed in the American League. The defending World Series champs get a first-round bye in these playoffs, and will play the winner of the Twins-Blue Jays matchup.
The 2023 MLB playoffs will last until at least Oct. 31, and a World Series Game 7 would take place on Saturday, Nov. 4.
