Gilbert (2-4) took the loss against San Diego on Saturday, allowing seven runs on five hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 6.2 innings.

Gilbert struggled to keep the ball in the park, as three of the five hits he gave up were homers. The right-hander surrendered just four home runs over his first seven starts, but he's now given up seven long balls across his past three outings. Gilbert did at least give the Mariners 6.2 innings of work, and he's completed at least six frames in each of his past three starts. However, the seven runs he allowed Saturday were his most in an appearance this season and pushed his ERA up from 3.78 to 4.45.

Martin (6-1) earned the win against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits while striking out seven across six innings. He did not issue a walk.

Martin's excellent 2026 campaign continued Saturday, and he set the tone early by retiring the first nine batters he faced. He yielded a home run to Miguel Amaya in the sixth inning before allowing two more baserunners, but Martin got out of the inning by striking out the last two batters of the frame. Martin's six wins and seven quality starts are both tied for most in the American League, while his 1.61 ERA and 0.98 WHIP (across 56 innings) are both third best in the AL. His next start is tentatively slated for next weekend against the Giants in San Francisco.

Prielipp (1-2) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out eight batters over six innings in a loss to Milwaukee on Saturday.

Despite the defeat, Prielipp pitched very well, as the only earned run against him came on a Jackson Chourio solo homer in the sixth inning. Prielipp tallied a career-high eight punchouts despite inducing a modest nine whiffs, and he picked up his first quality start by completing six innings for the first time as a big-leaguer. The southpaw entered the Twins' rotation April 22 and has pitched well since, as he's yet to give up more than two earned runs in any of his five starts. Overall, Prielipp has registered a 2.88 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB across 25 innings.

Teng (2-3) earned the win against the Rangers on Saturday, allowing two hits and four walks while striking out seven across five scoreless innings.

Teng opened his start on a strong note by striking out each of the first two batters he faced in the first inning. He allowed at least two baserunners in three of the next four frames but managed to keep the Rangers off the board and finished his night with 11 whiffs while tossing 46 strikes on 76 pitches (60.5 percent strike rate) to pick up his first win since his season debut. Teng sits at a 2.61 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 31 innings this season and is expected to be a part of the Astros' six-man rotation in the short term. He's slated to take on the Cubs in Chicago next weekend.

DeGrom (3-2) took the loss against the Astros on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits while striking out four across six innings. He did not issue a walk.

It was an uncharacteristic night for deGrom, who gave up two solo home runs in both the first and fourth innings of Saturday's loss. It was the second time in 257 regular-season starts that the veteran right-hander allowed at least four home runs in a game, per Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle. DeGrom has yielded 10 home runs this season (tied for third most in the American League) but has otherwise pitched well with a 3.02 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 61:8 K:BB across 50.2 innings. His next start is lined up for next weekend on the road against the Angels.

Bassitt (3-3) took the loss Saturday against the Nationals, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out four.

Washington hit Bassitt hard Saturday, tagging the hurler for four extra-base hits on the day. The veteran right-hander has been highly erratic during his first season with the Orioles, giving up one or no earned runs in four starts while surrendering at least four runs in his other five outings. Bassitt will be tough to trust in fantasy lineups when he takes an uninspiring 5.44 ERA, 1.70 WHIP and 30:19 K:BB over 43 innings into his next scheduled appearance versus Detroit.

Bello will start in Sunday's series finale against Atlanta, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

The right-hander has worked behind opener Jovani Moran in each of his last two outings, but Bello will be the starter for Sunday's contest, rather than operate in a bulk-relief role. The 27-year-old pitched well in those last two appearances, allowing two runs and eight hits and two walks while striking out 12 across 13.1 innings.

Cantillo did not factor into the decision of Saturday's game against the Reds. He allowed four runs on four hits and four walks while striking out four across five innings.

Cantillo yielded a solo home run to Dane Myers in the third inning before giving up another three runs in the fifth, two of which were courtesy of a bases-loaded double by Spencer Steer. Luckily for Cantillo, he avoided the loss after the Guardians rallied to score five runs from the sixth to eighth innings. The 26-year-old southpaw tied a season worst with four runs allowed, and he now sits at a 3.40 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 45:24 K:BB across 50.1 innings. Cantillo's next start is slated for next week against the Tigers in Detroit.

Cole (elbow) allowed one run on six hits and one walk while striking out six across 5.1 innings in his rehab start with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Cole logged 56 strikes on 86 pitches (65.1 percent strike rate) and saw his fastball crack 99 mph during Saturday's rehab outing. It was an encouraging sign for the veteran right-hander, who continues to ramp up his activity and is in the final stages of his recovery from Tommy John surgery with an internal brace that he underwent in March of 2025. Cole is expected to make one more rehab start before returning to the Yankees' rotation.

Bradley (pectoral) will embark on a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Audra Martin of FanDuel Sports Network North reports.

Bradley landed on the 15-day IL on May 9 due to right pectoral inflammation. He tossed a 20-pitch bullpen session Friday and has been given the green light to start his rehab assignment in Triple-A. He's eligible to return from the IL in late May, so he'll likely have at least two rehab outings in St. Paul before returning to the majors.
