Marquez didn't factor into the decision Friday against Atlanta, giving up one run on six hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out seven.

Marquez was able to put together one of his finer performances amid what's been a rough season for him overall. The seven strikeouts represented a season high for the veteran right-hander, who pitched at least five innings while yielding one run or fewer for only the fourth time among his 14 outings. Marquez owns a poor 6.62 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 48:22 K:BB over 68 innings, so he still doesn't shape up as a recommended fantasy streamer in most cases his next time out against the Nationals.

Holmes didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Rays, giving up one run on three hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out three.

The long ball has become a problem for Holmes, who has served up nine homers in his last seven starts after yielding none in his first seven, but that didn't stop him tossing five strong frames Friday. Although the right-hander has fanned more than five just once in his last nine appearances, he's fired at least six innings on six occasions during this span. Holmes owns a steady 2.87 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 68:25 K:BB across 78.1 innings for the year, and he's set to face a tough test against Atlanta next week.

Yamamoto (6-5) allowed five runs on six hits and five walks while striking out four over 4.2 innings to take the loss Friday versus the Giants.

Yamamoto's five walks were a season high, and that was just part of the sloppiness in this outing. He also allowed multiple homers for the third time this year, including a grand slam to Casey Schmitt in the third inning that accounted for most of the damage. Yamamoto is winless in June, going 0-2 with nine runs allowed and a 15:10 K:BB over 14.1 innings across three starts. Despite the recent struggles, he's at a 2.64 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 90:30 K:BB through 78.1 innings over 14 starts. Yamamoto is expected to take the mound at some point during next week's home series versus the Padres.

Webb (6-5) allowed two runs on two hits and three walks while striking out four over seven innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Friday.

Webb walked multiple batters for the first time in five starts, but it didn't put a damper on what's shaping up to be an excellent June. He's allowed a total of four runs with a 21:3 K:BB over 21 innings across his three starts this month. This was his first win since his eight-inning gem versus the Athletics on May 16, and Webb is now at a 2.58 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 105:20 K:BB across 94.1 innings through 15 starts. It's not clear when Webb will make his next start, as the potential return of Justin Verlander (pectoral) versus the Guardians next week, coupled with an off day Monday, could allow the Giants to build in some rest for their staff ace.

Cabrera did not factor into Friday's decision against the Nationals, allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out five across three innings.

Cabrera struck out five of the first seven batters he faced, but he appeared to tweak his ankle on first base in the third inning after colliding with Eric Wagaman. Cabrera was able to stay in the game, but he gave up a two-run home run to James Wood on the next at-bat and did not come out for the fourth despite tossing only 64 pitches (38 strikes). The Marlins didn't announce an injury, and assuming he's given the green light, Cabrera is slated to make his next start against the Phillies at home next week.

Kolek (3-2) allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.1 innings to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Friday.

Kolek had come away with a pair of no-decisions in his last two outings despite covering 11.1 scoreless innings in that stretch. He had some trouble with the Diamondbacks, including allowing two solo home runs, and a rally in the fifth inning was enough to knock him from the game at 82 pitches (52 strikes). Kolek is now at a 3.50 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 34:18 K:BB across 46.1 innings over eight starts this season. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Dodgers.

Parker (4-7) took the loss against the Marlins on Friday, allowing six runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out three across 3.1 innings.

Parker gave up a run in each of the first two innings before yielding four runs in the third, highlighted by a two-run double by Dane Myers. Parker struggled with his control with only 48 strikes on 87 pitches. The 25-year-old southpaw yielded three runs or less in each of his first five starts this season but has done so just three times in his last nine outings. Parker now sits at a 4.84 ERA and 1.35 WHIP (across 74.1 innings), which is fourth- and sixth-worst, respectively, among qualified National League starters. He is tentatively lined up to face the Rockies at home next week.

Senga was diagnosed Friday with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Senga, who was placed on the injured list earlier Friday, will use the next two weeks to rest before being re-evaluated, at which point the Mets may begin to map out the next steps of his recovery. In the meantime, Paul Blackburn is expected to fill the gap in New York's starting rotation. Per Tim Britton of the Athletic, Senga isn't expected back until the second half of July, after the All-Star break.

Martinez (4-7) took the loss against the Tigers on Friday, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts over five innings.

Martinez surrendered three solo homers and allowed 10 hard-hit balls while generating just seven whiffs on 89 pitches. He still entered the sixth inning with a chance at his eighth quality start in nine outings but was pulled after walking the leadoff man and was ultimately charged with another run. The 34-year-old will take a 3.92 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 58:18 K:BB across 80.1 innings into a home matchup with the Twins next week.

Suarez (5-1) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Friday, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out six across seven scoreless innings.

It was another strong outing for Suarez, who allowed one baserunner or less in six of seven innings while tossing 94 pitches (65 strikes) and inducing eight groundballs. The 29-year-old southpaw has logged seven straight quality starts, and over that span he has a 1.16 ERA and 0.96 WHIP across 46.2 innings. Suarez will look to stay hot in his next start, which is tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Marlins.
