Kirby (shoulder) is scheduled to make another minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Kirby threw 42 pitches in his first rehab outing last Sunday, and he's in line to build up to around 60 pitches in his second appearance Saturday. The right-hander is working his way back from right shoulder inflammation, and Kirby is also expected to make a third start before rejoining Seattle's rotation. That gives him a chance to make his season debut before the end of May, barring any setbacks along the way.

Parker (3-3) took the loss against the Cardinals on Friday, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five across four innings.

Parker got off on the wrong foot when he gave up a two-run double to Willson Contreras in the first inning. The 25-year-old southpaw yielded additional runs in the third and fourth frames before being lifted, finishing his outing with 96 pitches (59 strikes) and nine whiffs. Parker allowed three earned runs or fewer in each of his first five starts of the season, but over his last three outings he's posted a 10.38 ERA, 2.23 WHIP and 6:11 K:BB across 13 innings. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, tentatively slated for next week on the road against Atlanta.

Fedde (3-3) earned the win against the Nationals on Friday, allowing six hits while striking out eight over nine scoreless innings. He did not issue a walk.

Fedde had given up 10 earned runs across his last two outings, but the 32-year-old right-hander was unstoppable in Friday's game and joined Nathan Eovaldi and Michael King as the only pitchers to throw complete game shutouts this season. He generated 10 whiffs on 109 pitches (68 strikes) while inducing 10 groundballs, and he faced the minimum number of batters in five of nine frames. It's the second time Fedde has faced the team that drafted him in the first round of the 2014 MLB Draft, and he has held the Nationals scoreless across those 16 innings. He'll take a 3.86 ERA and 1.31 WHIP into his next outing, tentatively slated for next week on the road against the Phillies.

Warren (2-2) allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven over 7.1 innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Friday.

This was the best outing of Warren's young career, as he kept the Athletics at bay throughout. He threw 59 of 87 pitches for strikes and racked up 13 whiffs. The 25-year-old's strong outing lowered his ERA to 4.75 with a 1.36 WHIP and 41:16 K:BB across 36 innings over eight starts. He'll need to string together a few strong performances to earn more widespread fantasy interest, but this could be the beginning of him putting everything together. He's tentatively projected to make his next start at Seattle.

Bido (2-3) allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.1 innings to take the loss versus the Yankees on Friday.

Bido gave up back-to-back homers to Paul Goldschmidt and Jasson Dominguez in the third inning. The Athletics' offense showed up too late to make a difference in the contest, leaving Bido with the loss, his second in four outings. He's allowed 17 runs (16 earned) over 21 innings in that span. The right-hander has completed five innings in all eight of his starts this season, but he's yet to finish six frames. He's at a middling 4.75 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 27:16 K:BB over 41.2 innings overall. He's lined up for a difficult road start versus the Dodgers next week.

Rodriguez allowed eight runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out three over 2.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Friday.

Rodriguez was spotted a 3-1 lead after one inning, but he couldn't slow down the Dodgers' offense. He left with Arizona down 8-3, but his offense was able to get him off the hook. While Rodriguez's work in March and early April was nothing special, he's just been plain bad lately with 20 runs allowed (19 earned) over his last 12 innings across three starts. That's a stretch that's seen him face the Mets, Phillies and Dodgers, which explains a lot of the southpaw's struggles. Overall, he's at a 7.30 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 48:15 K:BB across 40.2 innings over eight starts. He's tentatively scheduled for a road start in pitcher-friendly San Francisco next week.

Sasaki allowed five runs on five hits and two walks while failing to record a strikeout over four innings versus the Diamondbacks on Friday. He did not factor in the decision.

This was Sasaki's first start on five days' rest, which may have contributed to his struggles. Arizona tagged him for three runs, including two home runs, in the first inning, though the Dodgers built up a lead before he exited the contest. He's now allowed six homers, all of which have come over his last five outings after he kept the ball down in three short starts to begin his major-league career. Sasaki is at a 4.72 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 24:22 K:BB over 34.1 innings across eight starts this season. The Dodgers are likely to play it cautious with the 23-year-old right-hander moving forward, especially when the schedule allows for more rest between his starts.

Gausman (3-3) allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out three without walking a batter over 5.1 innings to earn the win Friday over the Mariners.

The Blue Jays' offense was hot early, giving Gausman ample support. He started to fade in the sixth inning, but he didn't give away the lead. While this wasn't Gausman's best work overall, it was enough to earn him a win for the first time in four starts. He also avoided walking a batter for the third time this year, though the seven hits allowed were a season high. The right-hander has posted a 3.97 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 40:12 K:BB through 45.1 innings over eight starts this season. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Rays.

Castillo (3-3) allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings to take the loss versus the Blue Jays on Friday.

Castillo had a brutal first inning, and he struggled again in the third. He was able to settle in a bit and finished with 94 pitches (60 strikes) in five frames, but the damage was already done. He had allowed just one run over 12 innings across his previous two starts, so this was a big step back. Castillo is now at a 3.95 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 33:18 K:BB across 43.1 innings through eight starts this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be at home versus the Yankees.

Hendricks (1-4) took the loss Friday against the Orioles after allowing three runs on six hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out five.

Hendricks set a season high with five punchouts, but he served up a home run for the sixth time in seven starts this year. The veteran right-hander has done well at limiting hits, as evidenced by his .231 opponent batting average in 2025, but he still owns an uninspiring 5.30 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 21:15 K:BB through 35.2 innings. The soft-throwing Hendricks could have a particularly hard time putting hitters away in his next scheduled start against the Padres, who have the fewest strikeouts (250) in the majors through their first 36 games.
