Darvish allowed a run on three hits, two walks and a hit batter while striking out six over seven innings, taking a no-decision in Saturday's loss to the Giants.

Darvish allowed three home runs to the Dodgers in his last start, but he kept the ball in the yard this time around. He limited the Giants to a second-inning sacrifice fly from Brandon Crawford, but the Padres mustered only one run of support. Darvish has now gone a season-high three starts without a win. He owns a 3.38 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 91:20 K:BB across 101.1 innings in 16 starts overall. The right-hander is still sporting a 7-4 record heading into next weekend's projected home start versus the Diamondbacks.

Freeland (4-7) took the loss Saturday versus the Diamondbacks. He allowed six runs on seven hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 6.1 innings.

Freeland got off to a rocky start, allowing three runs in the first inning. He settled in well after that, allowing just one baserunner in the next four innings, but Jordan Luplow tagged him for a solo shot in the sixth and Freeland allowed two more batters aboard in the seventh before his exit. This was only the second time this season he's allowed a half-dozen or more runs in a start, but he's rarely been dominant as evidenced by his 4.70 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 66:29 K:BB through 97.2 innings in 17 starts. He's tentatively projected for a tough home start versus the Padres next week.

Woodruff registered a no-decision during Saturday's 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks with nine strikeouts in six-plus innings.

Woodruff was perfect through four innings and held Pittsburgh scoreless through six, but it fell apart in the seventh when he departed after surrendering three straight hits to lead off the inning. The three runs surrendered snapped a streak of five starts allowing two earned runs or fewer. The 29-year-old has a 4.01 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 60.2 innings. Woodruff is scheduled to pitch again next weekend on the road in San Francisco.

Corbin (4-11) took the loss during Saturday's 4-3 defeat against Atlanta, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks with four strikeouts in six innings.

Corbin struggled during the first and fourth innings -- surrendering all four runs and eight of 10 baserunners -- but was efficient otherwise and faced the minimum in the other four frames. The four runs permitted broke a four-game streak of allowing three earned runs or fewer that's seen Corbin's ERA drop from 6.65 to 5.70. He's tentatively slated to take the mound again next weekend for a rematch with Atlanta.

Wright (10-4) earned the win during Saturday's 4-3 victory over Washington, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts in seven innings.

Wright limited the damage to a Juan Soto solo shot through six frames but surrendered a Yadiel Hernandez home run in the seventh and walked Soto before being yanked in the eighth. Soto eventually came around to score, but Will Smith was able to keep the lead, bringing Wright into a tie for third in the majors with 10 wins. The 26-year-old was efficient in requiring only 84 pitches to surpass seven frames and induced an impressive 13 swinging strikes, though keeping 66 pitches in the strike zone led to 10 baserunners allowed. Wright is slated to take the mound in a road rematch with Washington next week.

Gibson allowed two hits and no walks while striking out five across seven scoreless innings Saturday against the Cardinals. He did not factor into the decision.

Gibson entered Saturday's start having allowed 11 earned runs in the span of 6.2 innings across his previous two starts. However, he shut down the Cardinals' offense and tallied 16 swinging strikes across 84 total pitches. Gibson now owns a 4.53 ERA and a 75:25 K:BB across 91.1 frames on the campaign.

Garrett allowed three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out three over 5.2 innings against the Mets on Saturday. He did not factor in the decision.

All of the damage against Garrett came by way of the home run -- he served up a solo blast to Pete Alonso in the fourth inning and a two-run homer to Francisco Lindor in the sixth. The latter long ball spelled the end of Garrett's outing, but he fared fairly well overall, giving up a season-low three total hits. The southpaw has had a few poor outings so far, but he's held the opposition to three or fewer earned runs in five of his seven appearances on the campaign.

Carrasco did not factor in the decision against Miami on Saturday, pitching 5.2 innings and allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five.

It wasn't an easy outing for Carrasco -- he gave up seven hits (including three that went for extra bases) and retired the side in order in only one frame -- but he was able to keep Miami off the scoreboard through five innings. However, the Marlins finally got to him in the sixth when four straight hitters reached base with one out, leading to the veteran hurler's removal. Carrasco ended up being charged for two total runs, but he emerged with a no-decision. After struggling mightily in his final two starts in June, Carrasco has allowed just three earned runs over 11.1 frames while striking out 13 batters over his first two appearances in July.

DeGrom (shoulder) will make a rehab start either Wednesday or Thursday with Triple-A Syracuse, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

DeGrom managed to throw 36 pitches in the second start of his rehab assignment Friday, and he's expected to clear 50 pitches with Syracuse in his upcoming appearance. It's unclear whether the Mets may elect to activate deGrom and limit his pitch count after that outing, or if he will make a final rehab start before rejoining the big-league club.

Greene did not factor in the decision against Tampa Bay on Saturday, pitching six innings and allowing one run on three hits and four walks while striking out nine.

Greene hurled 114 pitches in the outing, four short of the career-high 118 he tossed May 15 against Pittsburgh. The rookie was throwing heat Saturday -- per MLB Pipeline, 38 of his offerings clocked in at 100 mph or above, the second most of any pitcher in the Statcast era. Unfortunately for Greene, the Reds offense couldn't get much going against Tampa Bay until late in the game, and he had to settle for a no-decision. Greene has had his ups and downs in his first big-league campaign, but he has certainly flashed big potential, especially in terms of his ability to miss bats. He's tied for 10th in the majors with 107 strikeouts overall and ranks fourth among qualified starters with an 11.3 K/9.
