Kremer completed seven innings Saturday against Tampa Bay, allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out six batters in a no-decision.

Kremer cruised through six scoreless innings before the Rays plated a run against him in the seventh. The right-hander held a one-run lead upon his departure, but Baltimore's bullpen was unable to hold it. Despite having to settle for a no-decision, this was another promising outing by Kremer, who has completed exactly seven frames in three of his past four starts, giving up one or zero runs in each of those three outings. Kremer held a 4.99 ERA at the end of his June 12 start versus Detroit, but he's shown considerable improvement since then. Over his past six appearances, the veteran hurler is 3-0 with a 2.00 ERA and 33:9 K:BB across 36 frames.

Littell allowed two runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out three batters over six innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Saturday.

Littell fell behind early, allowing two runs in the first inning. He settled in from there, however, allowing just four more baserunners and zero runs over the remainder of his six frames. Littell was thus able to record a quality start -- his third over his past four appearances -- and was taken off the hook for a loss when the Rays battled for four runs over the seventh and eighth innings. The right-hander lowered his season ERA to 3.53, and he hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of his past six outings.

Montero (4-2) took the loss against Texas on Saturday, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five batters over 4.1 innings.

Montero has bounced between a traditional starting role and bulk relief this season -- Saturday marked his eighth start across 14 total outings. The right-hander didn't fare well against the Rangers, and most of the runs he allowed came in the second inning on a three-run homer by Rowdy Tellez. Overall, Montero tossed just 47 of 82 pitches for strikes and notched only four whiffs, though he still managed to record more punchouts than innings. With a 4.28 ERA on the campaign, Montero hasn't made an overwhelming case to stick in the rotation, and it remains to be seen if he'll eventually lose his spot to Sawyer Gipson-Long (neck), who is nearing the end of a minor-league rehab assignment.

Povich (hip) struck out six while allowing one earned run on three hits and one walk over 3.1 innings in a rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Norfolk.

After firing three perfect innings in his previous rehab outing for High-A Aberdeen last Sunday, Povich was fairly sharp in his 62-pitch appearance for Norfolk. The left-hander is tracking toward a return from the injured list in late July or early August, although it's unclear if Baltimore will have a spot in its rotation available for him once he's activated. Trevor Rogers, who was recalled from the minor leagues to replace Povich when he got injured, has delivered a sparkling 1.53 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB over six starts with Baltimore and appears to have established himself as a fixture in the rotation moving forward.

Rocker (4-4) earned the win over Detroit on Saturday, allowing one hit and issuing three walks while striking out five batters over 6.1 scoreless innings.

Rocker was pounded by the Angels for six runs over 4.1 frames in his previous start, but he bounced back in fine fashion Saturday. The righty was pitching a no-hitter until Wenceel Perez tagged him for a two-out single in the sixth inning, and that was the only base knock Rocker ending up allowing. The second-year hurler finished with 13 whiffs and notched his third quality start of the campaign. Rocker still has a poor 5.66 ERA on the season, but this was a promising outing as he looks to turn things around in the second half.

Arrighetti (thumb) tossed three scoreless innings in a rehab start with Double-A Corpus Christi on Saturday, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out four batters.

Arrighetti was sharp in his first game action since early April, throwing 29 of 43 pitches for strikes and allowing just one baserunner. The right-hander is making his way back from a fractured right thumb that he suffered when struck by a line drive during batting practice April 7. Per the Houston Chronicle, Arrighetti will likely need "several more" rehab starts before he's ready to be activated from the injured list.

Bello (6-4) took the loss Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over six innings in a 6-0 loss to the Cubs. He struck out four.

The right-hander delivered his eighth quality start in his past nine outings Saturday, despite surrendering first-inning homers to Michael Busch and Kyle Tucker. Bello has put together a strong 2025 campaign, posting a 3.23 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 97.2 innings across 17 appearances (16 starts).

Matthews (1-2) allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out six over four-plus innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Rockies.

The Twins took a 3-0 lead in the second inning, but the Rockies chipped away at it over the remainder of Matthews' start, which was his first major-league outing since June 4. He threw 77 pitches (51 strikes) before he was pulled from the game after running into trouble in the fifth frame. The 25-year-old is now at a 6.26 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB through 23 innings over five starts in the majors this season. Matthews is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Nationals, though he or David Festa could be at risk of losing the last spot in the rotation once Bailey Ober (hip) returns from the injured list.

Houck was returned from his minor-league rehab assignment Saturday due to a recurrence of a right pronator strain, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Houck was first diagnosed with a right pronator strain in mid-May, and he subsequently landed on the 15-day injured list. The right-hander kicked off a minor-league rehab stint about a month later and pitched in five games, posting a 5.74 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB over 15.2 innings between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester. There had been optimism that Houck was close to being activated, but the setback means he'll likely be out for another significant chunk of time.

Martin (forearm) is expected to be activated from the injured list within the next week, MLB.com reports.

Martin completed 3.2 innings in his last rehab outing with Triple-A Charlotte and looked sharp by allowing only one earned run with a 5:1 K:BB. It's unclear exactly what day he will return to the big-league club, but he isn't listed as Charlotte's probable starter Sunday.
