Gordon allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out four over six innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Saturday.

Gordon was perfect through four innings, but he put the first two batters aboard in the fifth, and a David Peralta groundout knocked in the tying run. Peter Lambert then allowed two runs in the seventh to spoil the Rockies' chances at a win. This was Gordon's best of four starts this season -- he had allowed at least four runs in each of the other three. He's now at a 6.75 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB through 21.1 innings. This was likely enough to earn him another turn through the rotation, though that could change if German Marquez (elbow) doesn't require a rehab assignment.

Perez allowed a run on three hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Saturday.

Perez's lone mistake in his San Diego debut was a solo home run surrendered to Hunter Goodman. Over his last two starts, Perez has allowed just one run across 12 innings, and it was encouraging that he avoided issuing a walk for the first time since May 8. The veteran southpaw now has a 4.96 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 70:32 K:BB over 89 innings across 17 starts between the Padres and Pirates this year. He's projected for a favorable road start at Miami in his next outing.

Tyler allowed three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out two over 2.2 innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Saturday.

Tyler threw 40 of 73 pitches for strikes in the shaky outing, his shortest since his season debut in a relief appearance April 26. The right-hander's four walks were a season high, and he gave up a home run for the second start in a row. He's completed five innings just once this year, pitching to a 5.27 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 22:16 K:BB across 27.1 innings over seven appearances (six starts). Tyler's numbers wouldn't justify him sticking around most major-league rosters, but the Marlins have had terrible injury luck with their starters in 2024. He's tentatively projected for a home start versus the Reds in his next outing.

Herz (2-4) earned the win against the Brewers on Saturday, allowing one unearned run on two hits and one walk with six strikeouts over five innings.

Herz opened with four scoreless frames before Sal Frelick reached on an error and came around to score with two outs in the fifth. The rookie was pulled after 77 pitches and has completed six innings just once in 10 starts, but he has yielded two earned runs or fewer in four of his past five outings. On the season, he owns a 4.27 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 59:13 K:BB across 46.1 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Giants next week.

Civale (2-8) took the loss against the Nationals on Saturday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts over four innings.

Civale allowed four two-out runs in the first inning and then surrendered a solo homer in the third. His velocity was down on each of his offerings, and he generated only five swinging strikes on 80 pitches. The 29-year-old hasn't recorded a win since April 9 and will bring a 5.14 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 108:37 K:BB into a home matchup with the Reds next week.

The Mets promoted Sproat from Double-A Binghamton to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

Sproat is coming off one of the best performances of his young career, striking out 13 batters -- including the final 11 he faced -- in Friday's 7-3 loss to Double-A New Hampshire. Over 11 starts with Binghamton, Sproat produced an impressive 2.45 ERA and 0.87 WHIP with 77 punchouts over 62.1 innings. He'll now look to keep it up at the Triple-A level and put himself in consideration for a promotion to the Mets.

Suarez (back) is expected to throw a bullpen session either Sunday or Monday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Suarez is eligible to return from the 15-day injured list Wednesday and the left-hander will take the first step toward being activated when he throws his first bullpen session. There was optimism from the Phillies that Suarez would be able to return during the team's four-game series in Arizona that begins Thursday, but that now seems unlikely. The left-hander was placed on the IL with lower-back soreness last week and considering Philadelphia is five games up on Atlanta for first place in the NL East, the team will likely be cautious in its efforts to get him back.

Taillon did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Cardinals, allowing one run on six hits and no walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

Taillon allowed a solo home run in the first inning and then rattled off five straight scoreless frames. The 32-year-old was ultimately let down by his bullpen, but he responded from a rough outing Monday to secure his eighth quality start in his past 10 games. On the season, Taillon owns a 3.25 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 86:22 K:BB across 110.2 innings and lines up for a favorable matchup with the White Sox next week.

Gibson did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-4 win against the Cubs, allowing four runs on five hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over seven innings.

Gibson allowed four runs over his first two innings but rebounded with five scoreless frames. The veteran was efficient, throwing 65 of 96 pitches for strikes and retiring the final seven batters he faced, but he has now yielded three earned runs or more in seven of his past 10 starts and has not won a game since July 7. On the year, he owns a 4.04 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 109:47 K:BB across 120.1 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Rays next week.

Yamamoto (triceps) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session Saturday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Yamamoto has been sidelined since June 16 with right triceps tightness, and the bullpen session was his first since he was placed on the injured list. Manager Dave Roberts said afterward that he was "excited about (Yamamoto's) command and velocity." Yamamoto has no exact timetable for his return, but if he's able to continue to progress without any setbacks, he could be activated from the 60-day IL in the next month or so.
