Hudson didn't factor into the decision during Saturday's 16-7 win over Arizona, allowing four runs on five hits and three walks with four strikeouts in 4.1 innings.

Hudson surrendered two runs apiece in the first and third innings, but St. Louis rallied to put him in line for his first win in seven turns had he gone the minimum five innings. The 27-year-old continues to struggle with control as he tossed only 45 of 77 pitches for strikes and has walked multiple batters in six of his last seven turns. Hudson carries a 4.33 ERA and 1.42 WHIP into his next start, scheduled for next week against the Cubs.

Doval (4-6) took the loss during Saturday's 4-3 defeat at the hands of the Rockies, allowing an unearned run on one hit and one walk in 1.1 innings.

Doval delivered a clean ninth inning on seven pitches to send the game to extras before surrendering a walkoff Brendan Rodgers single with one out in the 10th. The outing accounted for the 25-year-old's first negative result in his last eight appearances and first loss since July 14. He failed to record a strikeout for the first time since July 29 though he's still whiffed an impressive 61 batters in 50.1 innings.

Hoeing (0-1) took the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out two batters over three innings.

It's difficult to fault Hoeing for his struggles, as he was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville earlier in the day to make a surprise big-league debut against the MLB's winningest team after scheduled starter Braxton Garrett was placed on the IL with an oblique strain. Still, the 25-year-old was considerably outmatched, allowing three runs in the first inning and four more in the third before being pulled having thrown 73 pitches. Hoeing did at least manage to keep the ball mostly in the strike zone, but he was pummeled for eight hits, including a pair of homers. It's uncertain whether he'll stick in the rotation moving forward or if Miami will develop another plan to account for Garrett's absence. Notably, Trevor Rogers (back) has made a pair of rehab starts at Triple-A and could return to the Marlins' rotation at some point next week.

Bard blew the save during Saturday's 4-3 win against the Giants, allowing one run on two hits with one strikeout in the ninth inning.

Bard came on for the save and retired the first two Giants before surrendering a single followed by a Brandon Crawford double to tie the game. The blown save is the 37-year-old's first since May 15 and first poor mark since a loss July 6, snapping a stretch of allowing two runs over 12 innings. Bard possesses a 2.27 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with 50 strikeouts in 43.2 innings across 43 appearances.

Dominguez was unavailable for Saturday's games against the Mets due to tightness in his right triceps, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Dominguez felt some tightness while throwing Saturday morning. He noted some concern because it's an injury related to his arm, but more specific news is expected Sunday. David Robertson collected a two-inning save in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader in Dominguez's absence.

Soto earned the save against the Angels on Saturday, allowing one walk in a scoreless ninth inning.

Soto took the mound with Detroit up by a run in the final frame. He issued a one-out walk to Kurt Suzuki but quickly rebounded by inducing a double play to close out the save. Soto has racked up three saves in the past six days and ranks 10th in the majors with 23 successful conversions on the campaign.

Alexander (3-7) earned the win over the Angels on Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out two batters over six innings.

Alexander got off to a shaky beginning when he allowed a run in each of the first three frames, but he settled down from there and kept the Angels off the scoreboard for the remainder of the start. The left-hander got by despite inducing only five swinging strikes and fanning only two batters. The victory was his first since July 4 and snapped a string of four straight losses. Despite his recent troubles getting into the win column, Alexander has pitched fairly well of late, posting a 3.60 ERA across 30 innings over his past six appearances.

Bender (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Bender is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in the near future, so this is simply a procedural move to open up a 40-man roster spot for Bryan Hoeing to start Saturday's contest versus the Dodgers. Bender is not expected to be available until the 2024 season.

Garcia pitched a perfect ninth inning to earn a save over the Yankees on Saturday.

Toronto closer Jordan Romano pitched in each of the first two games of the series, so Garcia was given the task of preserving the team's three-run, ninth-inning lead. He threw 17 pitches to retire the side in order and notch his first save of the campaign. Garcia saved 15 games for Miami last season, but Adam Cimber -- who was deployed in the fifth inning Saturday -- has gotten the majority of the closing opportunities when Romano has been unavailable this season.

White allowed one run on seven hits and no walks while striking out five batters over four innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Saturday.

The right-hander allowed multiple baserunners in three of his four innings, but he constantly navigated around traffic and yielded only one run. Altogether, White surrendered seven hits, but only one of those went for extra bases. He has now made three starts for Toronto since coming over from the Dodgers at the trade deadline, and he has yet to complete five innings in any of those outings. However, he's been decently effective, posting a 3.38 ERA and 10:4 K:BB across across 13.1 innings. That should be good enough for White to keep a spot in the rotation over Yusei Kikuchi, who was recently demoted to the bullpen.
