Sheehan threw three innings, allowing one run on two hits and a walk while striking out four in a rehab appearance with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Sheehan made his second appearance with Oklahoma City and his third rehab outing in total. He stayed steady at three innings of work but continued to look impressive. Sheehan has allowed only four hits across eight innings, paired with a 14:1 K:BB in three rehab starts. He'll likely need two additional rehab appearances before being activated.

Fedde didn't factor into the decision Saturday, allowing four hits and four walks over 5.1 scoreless innings during a 2-1 win over the Dodgers. He struck out two.

The righty once again had trouble finding the plate consistently, tossing only 52 of 99 pitches for strikes, but Fedde avoided taking any damage despite putting runners in scoring position during the second, third, fifth and sixth innings. It's the fifth time in 13 starts this season that Fedde has issued at least four free passes, leaving him with a shaky 46:33 K:BB through 73.2 innings, but he still sports a respectable 3.54 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. He'll try to tighten things up in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Milwaukee.

Yamamoto came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Cardinals, allowing four hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out nine.

The right-hander generated 32 called or swinging strikes over 94 pitches (61 total strikes), but a lack of run support forced Yamamoto to settle for his eighth quality start of the season rather than his seventh win. He'll take a 2.20 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 86:25 K:BB through 73.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Giants.

Paddack came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out two.

The right-hander needed 86 pitches (55 strikes) to deliver his fourth quality start in his last six trips to the mound, a stretch in which he's posted a 1.85 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 28:6 K:BB over 39 innings. Paddack has stayed healthy in 2025, and the 29-year-old has emerged as an incredibly consistent option for Minnesota, pitching five innings or more and giving up three earned runs or fewer in 12 straight trips to the mound. Paddack will look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Houston.

Gausman came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Twins, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out five.

The veteran righty's control and command deserted him in the fourth inning, as Gausman put five straight batters aboard on two singles, two walks and a hit-by-pitch -- the first time he'd issued multiple free passes in an outing since April 27 -- but he was otherwise effective en route to his seventh quality start of the season. He'll take a 3.87 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 73:17 K:BB through 76.2 innings into his next start, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Philadelphia.

Montero didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Cubs, coughing up four runs on five hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over 5.2 innings of relief. He struck out four.

The right-hander entered the game after Tyler Holton worked 1.1 innings as the opener, and while Montero had some initial success, homers by Michael Busch in the fifth inning and Pete Crow-Armstrong and Matt Shaw in the seventh took a toll. Reese Olson (finger) and Jackson Jobe (elbow) aren't expected back until at least late June, so Montero should get another couple turns through the rotation, either as a traditional starter or bulk reliever. He'll take a 4.30 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 30:17 K:BB through 46 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Reds.

Taillon (6-3) picked up the win Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and a walk over seven innings in a 6-1 victory over the Tigers. He struck out five.

The right-hander needed only 84 pitches (56 strikes) to deliver his fifth straight quality start, and his ninth in 13 trips to the mound this year. Taillon will take a four-start win streak into his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Pirates.

Martinez (3-6) earned the win against Arizona on Saturday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out six across six innings.

Martinez yielded a solo home run to Eugenio Suarez in the second frame, and he escaped the inning without additional damage despite allowing two additional baserunners. Martinez kept the Reds batters in check the rest of the way, tossing 102 pitches (67 strikes) en route to his seventh quality start of the season. The right-hander has a 3.70 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 53:16 K:BB across 75.1 innings this season. He's tentatively lined up to start against the Tigers on the road next weekend.

Suarez (4-1) was tagged with the loss against the Pirates on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five across seven innings.

After yielding an RBI single to Andrew McCutchen in the first, Suarez kept Pittsburgh off the board over the next five innings and faced the minimum number of batters in three of those frames. However, the veteran southpaw lost the lead for the Phillies in the seventh, when he gave up a solo home run to Henry Davis, and Suarez didn't get enough run support to avoid his first loss of the season. Still, Suarez has logged a quality start in each of his last six outings and sports a 2.70 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB across 43.1 innings this season. He is tentatively slated to pitch next weekend at home against the Blue Jays.

Vasil will start Sunday's game against the Royals in Chicago, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Vasil has worked exclusively as a reliever throughout the season, but the White Sox have been able to have him stretch out a bit of late. He's covered at least three frames in each of his last three appearances, logging 9.2 scoreless innings and a 10:2 K:BB over that span. The 25-year-old righty is likely to be operating on a light pitch count in his first MLB start, but a strong showing against Kansas City could allow Vasil to stake a more permanent claim to a spot in the White Sox rotation.
