Buehler took a no-decision Saturday against Texas, allowing one run on five hits and one walk in 5.1 innings. He struck out seven.

Buehler tied a season high in punchouts Saturday, also matching his second longest start of the season. The 31-year-old right-hander has been dealing on the mound of late, working at least 4.2 innings while yielding exactly one run in four consecutive outings during the month of June. Buehler has a solid 3.96 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 65:23 K:BB over 72.2 frames, but he's next lined up for one of his toughest tests of the year against the Dodgers.

Sanchez (9-3) earned the win against the Mets on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk with five strikeouts over six innings.

Backed by an offensive outburst by the Phillies, Sanchez cruised to a quality-start victory. He surrendered a solo homer in the fourth inning but was otherwise fantastic, throwing 61 of 91 pitches for strikes with 10 whiffs. It was a nice response after the southpaw allowed four runs Sunday, and he's now logged a quality start in nine of his past 10 outings. He'll take a 1.80 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 121:20 K:BB across 105 innings this season into a road matchup against the Nationals next week.

Peralta (5-6) took the loss against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing 10 runs on 10 hits and one walk with two strikeouts over 2.2 innings.

Peralta was down 3-0 when he began a nightmare third frame in which he was charged with seven more runs. The 30-year-old yielded a career-high 10 earned runs overall in his shortest outing of the campaign, with his ERA rising from 3.90 to 4.83 for the season. He's now been charged with four earned runs or more in four of his past six starts. Peralta will take that inflated ERA, a 1.39 WHIP and 83:34 K:BB across 85.2 innings into a home matchup against the Cubs next week.

Harrison took a no-decision Saturday against Atlanta, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks in 6.1 innings. He struck out seven.

Saturday marked Harrison's second-longest start of the season, and he's now given up four knocks or fewer in five of his past six outings. The 24-year-old left-hander has also surrendered two runs or fewer in all but one of his first 14 appearances, so he's putting together a strong case for his first career All-Star selection in 2026. Harrison is next set to bring a 2.50 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 87:18 K:BB across 72 innings into a home matchup versus the division-rival Cubs.

Sale took a no-decision Saturday against the Brewers, allowing two unearned runs on five hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

A fielding error by Ozzie Albies kept both of Milwaukee's sixth-inning runs off of Sale's ledger, so Saturday went down as the hurler's first start with no earned runs since May 14 versus the Cubs. The left-hander turned in his 11th consecutive outing with at least five innings and six punchouts, and he's given up more than two earned runs just one time during that stretch. Sale will carry an exceptional 2.14 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 99:21 K:BB over 84 innings into a soft matchup in San Franciso his next time out.

Abbott (5-4) picked up the win in Saturday's 10-2 rout of the Yankees, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out six.

The southpaw served up a solo shot to Paul Goldschmidt in the first inning, but Abbott shut down the home side from there and got plenty of run support before exiting after 97 pitches (59 strikes). It was his first win since May 20, but Abbott has given up three runs or fewer in 10 straight trips to the mound, a stretch in which he's delivered a 2.41 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 45:26 K:BB over 56 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is set to come on the road next weekend in Pittsburgh.

McDonald (2-5) took the loss against the Marlins on Saturday, allowing five runs (three earned) on three hits and three walks with one strikeout over three innings.

McDonald entered the fourth inning in a 2-2 tie but was unable to record an out and was ultimately charged with three runs in the frame. He lacked command, throwing just 39 of 69 pitches for strikes while generating only two whiffs in his shortest outing of the season. He's lost five of his past six starts and has a 6.75 ERA during that span. The 25-year-old will carry a 4.93 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 42:18 K:BB across 45.2 innings into a difficult home matchup against Atlanta next weekend.

Meyer (8-0) earned the win against the Giants on Saturday, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over five innings.

Meyer threw 66 of 98 pitches for strikes while generating nine whiffs and limiting the Giants to just four hard-hit balls, all of which went for extra-base hits. The 27-year-old has yielded just six earned runs through four June outings, going 3-0 with a 28:9 K:BB over 23.1 innings during that stretch. He'll take a 2.80 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 102:34 K:BB across 90 innings into a road matchup against the Cardinals next weekend.

Cabrera joined the Diamondbacks' taxi squad Saturday and could be called up from Triple-A Reno to start Sunday's game against the Twins in Arizona, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

The Diamondbacks' pitching staff has been hit hard by injuries lately, losing Ryne Nelson (elbow) and Michael Soroka (glute) to the injured list in just the past two days. With multiple spots in the rotation for the team to fill, Cabrera's addition to the taxi squad suggests that he'll be the choice to start Sunday's game against the Twins. It would mark the 24-year-old's MLB debut, an opportunity he earned by posting a 3.69 ERA and 1.03 WHIP alongside a 64:16 K:BB in 61 innings across 12 starts (nine at Double-A Amarillo, three at Triple-A).

Scott (hip) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Scott reportedly didn't have any problems while throwing off a mound for the first time since landing on the injured list Monday with a right hip impingement. The Mets plan to have him throw a couple more mound sessions before activating him around the time he's eligible to return next Saturday.
