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.

Parker (6-10) earned the win against the Padres on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with four strikeouts over five innings.

Parker allowed two runs in the third inning but was otherwise strong despite generating just six whiffs on 82 pitches. It was an encouraging effort after the southpaw surrendered 16 runs (11 earned) over his previous two July outings, and he's now logged two quality-start victories against the Padres since June 23. He'll carry a 5.00 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 70:41 K:BB across 108 innings into a road matchup with the Twins next weekend.

Perez (elbow) threw a bullpen session Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Perez has been sidelined since mid-April but has been engaging in bullpen sessions since early July. It's unclear exactly when he'll begin a rehab assignment, but it appears he could be lining up for a return in the second half of August.

Warren did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing five runs on five hits and three walks over 3.2 innings against Atlanta. He struck out five.

The right-hander didn't make it out of the fourth inning Saturday, giving up home runs to Michael Harris and Ozzie Albies in the process. Warren came into the outing with solid underlying metrics (3.40 FIP) despite a 4.63 ERA, but this performance didn't offer signs of positive regression. Through 99 innings this season, the 26-year-old now holds a 4.91 ERA and 1.44 WHIP across 21 starts.

Burrows did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 10-4 loss to the White Sox, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with six strikeouts over five innings.

Burrows opened with four scoreless innings before allowing two runs in the fifth and exiting with a lead the bullpen quickly squandered. It was a solid rebound after he surrendered six runs in his previous start, but the 25-year-old was limited to just 76 pitches and has yet to complete six frames in any of his 10 starts this season. He'll carry a 4.70 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 48:19 K:BB across 46 innings into a challenging matchup with the Diamondbacks next weekend.

Quantrill came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Royals, scattering two hits over six scoreless innings. he struck out three without walking a batter.

The right-hander produced his best performance of the season, retiring the last 10 batters he faced and not letting a runner get into scoring position in his first quality start of the year. Quantrill got denied his first win since May 18 when Ronny Henriquez served up a game-tying homer to Salvador Perez in the eighth inning, however. While Saturday's outing was the first time in 2025 he'd lasted six innings, Quantrill has given up three earned runs or fewer in seven of eight starts since the beginning of June. posting a 4.46 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 32:8 K:BB over 38.1 innings during that stretch. He'll look to keep rolling in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come next weekend on the road in Milwaukee.

Houser did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Pirates, allowing four runs (three earned) on 10 hits and one walk with five strikeouts over 4.1 innings.

Houser yielded a season-high 10 hits while generating only four swinging strikes and failing to complete five innings for the first time in 10 starts this year. It snapped a streak of four consecutive quality starts for the 32-year-old, though he's still allowed three earned runs or fewer in each of his outings. He'll carry a 1.89 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 44:19 K:BB across 62 innings into a tough matchup with the Cubs next weekend.

Eovaldi has been scratched from his scheduled start Sunday versus Detroit due to tightness in his back, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Sunday was slated to be a marquee pitching matchup between Eovaldi and the Tigers' Tarik Skubal, but that duel won't happen. Instead, the Rangers have tabbed Jacob Latz to start opposite Detroit's ace. Eovaldi had an IL stint in June due to a triceps injury, and he has made four starts since being activated June 27. It's not yet clear if another trip to the injured list could be on the table for Eovaldi due to the back issue.

Wacha came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Marlins, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out one.

The veteran righty was actually in line for a 1-0 loss until the Royals pushed across the tying run in the top of the eighth inning. Wacha produced his ninth quality start of the season on 78 pitches (51 strikes), but he's struggled to provide much consistency since the beginning of June, posting a 4.78 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 35:16 K:BB over his last 43.1 innings, which has resulted in a 1-5 record. He'll try to get back in the win column in his next start, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Guardians.

Holmes (8-5) took the loss Saturday, coughing up five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks over 5.1 innings as the Mets fell 5-2 to the Reds. He struck out three.

The right-hander got staked to an early 2-0 lead, but Holmes couldn't make it hold up as he had trouble putting away hitters when he needed to. The converted reliever may be wearing down -- Holmes has been tagged for five runs in two of his last three starts and hasn't struck out more than five batters in any of his last seven, stumbling to a 4.59 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 21:20 K:BB through 35.1 innings over the latter stretch. Holmes will try to right the ship in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in San Francisco.
