The Mets selected Tidwell's contract from Triple-A Syracuse ahead of his scheduled start in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Cardinals in St. Louis.

Tidwell is making his MLB debut in a spot start to give the Mets' rotation extra rest before he returns to Syracuse. Over his six Triple-A outings in 2025, the 23-year-old righty has delivered a 5.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 37:10 K:BB across 27 innings.

Flaherty (1-4) was charged with the loss Saturday against the Angels after giving up five runs (four earned) on eight hits and one walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out eight.

Flaherty was in good shape with just one unearned run allowed through five innings, but the Halos rallied with five singles and a walk to score four times in the sixth. The right-hander surrendered just three earned runs and struck out 21 in his first three outings of the year, but he's scuffled to a 5.48 ERA across 21.1 frames while losing his past four starts.

Schwellenbach (1-3) took the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 3.2 innings.

Schwellenbach began his outing with a scoreless first frame, but he struggled mightily after that. The right-hander gave up a run in the second and two more in the third before Los Angeles blitzed him for three two-out runs (one of which scored after he departed) in the fourth. It was the second time this season Schwellenbach has yielded six runs in an appearance, though he's notched a quality start in each of his other five outings. He'll carry a 3.92 ERA into his next trip to the mound, which is slated to be a home matchup against Cincinnati next week.

Sasaki (1-1) earned the win over Atlanta on Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four batters over five innings.

The start of the game was delayed for about three hours due to a rain delay, so there was some doubt about whether Sasaki would end up pitching at all. The rookie right-hander ended up giving the Dodgers five innings, and that was just enough for him to be rewarded with his first victory in the majors leagues. Sasaki did give up three runs -- one of which came on an Ozzie Albies homer -- but he continued to show growth, tossing 56 of 98 pitches for strikes and notching 15 first-pitch strikes across 24 batters. He also tied a season low with two walks and equaled a season high with four punchouts. Sasaki was unable to pitch more than four innings in any of his first three starts, but he's completed at least five frames in each of his subsequent four outings. He hasn't exactly been a fantasy stud with a 3.86 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 24:20 K:BB through 30.1 innings, but Sasaki is at least holding his own as a big-league hurler and is increasingly showing why he was such a coveted arm before signing with the Dodgers during the offseason.

Hendricks (1-3) earned the win Saturday against the Tigers after allowing one run on four hits and no walks across 7.2 innings. He struck out three.

The veteran right-hander was working on a shutout until the eighth inning, when Spencer Torkelson launched a 401-foot solo homer to left field. Hendricks recorded one more out before giving up an infield single, which ended his evening at 102 pitches. He entered Saturday's contest with multiple walks in four straight starts, so it was encouraging to see him exhibit better command against the AL Central leaders. Despite the strong performance, Hendricks doesn't offer much fantasy upside with a 5.28 ERA and 16:12 K:BB through six starts in 2025.

Quintana (4-1) took the loss Saturday against the Cubs after allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out six.

Quintana gave up a run on two singles and a walk during the opening frame, but it was the long ball that hurt him the rest of the day as Chicago clubbed three homers across the fourth and fifth innings. The veteran left-hander allowed just three runs while winning his first four starts with the Brewers, but the Cubs' league-leading offense (208 runs scored) got to him Saturday. Quintana will carry a 2.83 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 21:9 K:BB across 28.2 innings into a matchup with the Rays next weekend.

Taillon (2-1) earned the win Saturday in Milwaukee after giving up two runs on three hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.

The veteran right-hander wasn't exactly dominant as he induced just four swinging strikes, but he delivered his second straight quality start to help secure his first victory since April 2. Taillon surrendered six earned runs during his season debut in Arizona, but he's posted a 2.80 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB in 35.1 innings across his past six outings.

Sugano (3-2) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four batters over six innings in a loss to Kansas City on Saturday.

Sugano was mostly effective Saturday and notched his third quality start over his past four outings, but Baltimore's offense was unable to give him any support. After coming out of nowhere with 17 swinging strikes and eight punchouts against the Yankees in his previous appearance, the righty returned closer to his norm with six whiffs and four strikeouts against the Royals, but he nonetheless extended his career-opening streak of allowing three or fewer runs to seven games. Sugano's mediocre strikeout numbers dent his fantasy upside, but he's put up strong ratios with a 3.00 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through 39 innings on the season.

Meyer allowed five runs on 10 hits and two walks across five innings during Saturday's win against the A's. He did not strike out a batter.

The right-hander posted a 12.4 K/9 across his first six starts of 2025, but he generated just five whiffs Saturday as he failed to record a strikeout for the first time through 19 big-league starts. Meyer delivered four quality starts with a 2.10 ERA and 41:7 K:BB in his first five outings of the season, but he's surrendered 10 earned runs with a 6:6 K:BB in his past two turns through the rotation. A matchup with the White Sox next weekend should be a prime opportunity for the 26-year-old to get back on track.

Bido didn't factor in the decision Saturday in Miami after giving up four runs on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out four.

The right-hander gave up just a two-run homer to Kyle Stowers across the first four frames Saturday, but Miami rallied for two more runs in the fifth to end Bido's afternoon. The 30-year-old has covered at least five frames in all six of his starts this season, but he's now surrendered seven homers in his past four outings after keeping the ball in the yard across his first three starts. A home matchup with the Yankees next weekend is unlikely to solve his issues with the long ball.
