Kelly did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-4 extra-innings win over the Mariners, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks with six strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Kelly cruised through five scoreless frames but faltered in the sixth, allowing two runs and departing an out shy of a quality start at just 69 pitches. The 36-year-old threw 48 strikes with an impressive 15 whiffs, and he's now yielded three earned runs or fewer in eight straight outings. He'll carry a 3.22 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 127:38 K:BB across 134.1 innings into a home matchup with the Phillies next weekend.

Wheeler (9-5) took the loss against the Tigers on Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on nine hits and no walks with 10 strikeouts over six innings.

Wheeler generated 15 whiffs on 98 pitches and turned in a quality start, but he was burned by three home runs and ultimately outdueled by Tarik Skubal. The 35-year-old has now dropped back-to-back starts for the first time this season and has allowed four runs in three of his past four outings, though one was unearned Saturday. He still boasts a stellar 2.64 ERA and 0.92 WHIP while leading all qualified starters with 182 strikeouts across 139.2 innings. Wheeler is slated to face the Rangers on the road next weekend.

Skubal (11-3) earned the win against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks with 10 strikeouts over seven innings.

Skubal outdueled fellow ace Zack Wheeler, spinning six scoreless frames before allowing three runs in the seventh. He generated 20 whiffs on 98 pitches and has now notched double-digit strikeouts eight times this season. The southpaw leads all qualified starters with a 0.83 WHIP and paces the American League with a 2.18 ERA and 181 strikeouts over 140.2 innings. He lines up to face the Angels at home next weekend.

Strider has been scratched from his start in Saturday's matchup with the Cincinnati at the MLB Speedway Classic in Bristol, Tenn. due to the game being delayed over an hour by inclement weather, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Strider had already completed most or all of his warmup before the delay was announced, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com, so Atlanta is opting to go to a bullpen game rather than risking an injury to the star hurler. Atlanta is off Sunday, so Strider's next start likely won't come until at least Monday against Milwaukee. It's not yet clear which reliever will start Saturday for Atlanta if the game takes place.

Musgrove (elbow) threw 20 pitches (all fastballs) in a bullpen session Saturday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Musgrove had previously thrown off a mound, but that consisted simply of tossing to a standing catcher. Sanders deemed Musgrove's activity Saturday as his "first official bullpen session" since the veteran hurler underwent Tommy John surgery last October. Musgrove is scheduled to throw a bullpen every Tuesday and Saturday moving forward, and he could begin introducing his secondary pitches after about eight sessions. Musgrove stated Saturday that his goal is to get into at least one minor-league rehab game before the end of the campaign, saying, "I want one inning ... I don't care if it's one hitter. I just want to be able to say I contributed in some aspect on the field." Triple-A El Paso -- the Padres' affiliate that goes the longest -- ends its regular season Sept. 21, so for Musgrove to accomplish his goal he may need to be allowed to pitch in a minor-league playoff game (if El Paso qualifies) or settle for an appearance in the fall instructional league in Arizona.

Ober (hip) allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Guardians.

Ober missed a month due to a left hip impingement. He had only stretched back out to 65 pitches during his rehab assignment, but he was able to throw 91 pitches (62 strikes) Saturday, so he should have no further workload restrictions as long as he feels good between starts. The next goal for the right-hander will be putting a strong finish on what's been a difficult campaign -- he's pitched to a 5.38 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 78:23 K:BB through 97 innings across 18 starts. Home runs have been the big issue; after allowing two of them against Cleveland, he's yielded 23 long balls on the year, four off his career-high 27 across 178.2 innings last year. Ober is projected to make his next start at home versus the Royals.

Scherzer (2-1) picked up the win in Saturday's 4-2 victory over the Royals, allowing one run on five hits over six innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.

The 41-year-old right-hander produced his third quality start in his last four trips to the mound on 84 pitches (57 strikes), and Scherzer was shutting out Kansas City until Salvador Perez took him deep in the sixth inning. Scherzer continues to have trouble keeping the ball in the yard -- he's served up nine homers in 41 innings on the season -- but he's doing a better job of late of keeping the bases empty for them, posting a 4.13 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 28:2 K:BB in 24 innings over that four-start stretch. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend against the Dodgers.

Cameron (5-5) took the loss Saturday, giving up four runs on six hits and a walk over 6.1 innings as the Royals fell 4-2 to the Blue Jays. He struck out one.

The rookie southpaw only gave up six singles on the afternoon, but three of them were packed into the third inning along with a walk and a hit by pitch, leading to three Toronto runs. Cameron has been up and down over the last month-plus, blanking the opposition in three of his seven starts but also getting tagged for four or more runs in three of them while posting a 3.40 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 38:9 K:BB over 39.2 innings during that stretch. He'll look to bounce back in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Minnesota.

Bibee allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five over 4.2 innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Twins.

Bibee has given up 13 runs (11 earned) over his last three starts, posting a 17:2 K:BB across 16.2 innings in that span. He started well Saturday, but a two-run home run by Matt Wallner in the fourth inning and another rally by the Twins in the fifth ended Bibee's outing early. He threw 64 of 93 pitches for strikes while seeing his three-start winning streak come to a close, and he's now at a 4.51 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 112:35 K:BB through 125.2 innings over 22 starts this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be a favorable road matchup versus the White Sox.

Boyd came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles, scattering four hits over seven scoreless innings. He struck out eight without walking a batter.

The veteran lefty was absolutely dominant, racking up 37 called or swinging strikes over 92 pitches (68 total strikes), and the only runner Baltimore got into scoring position off Boyd came when Adley Rutschman doubled with two outs in the fourth inning. The Cubs' bullpen couldn't make a 3-0 lead hold up however, coughing up four runs in the eighth as soon as Boyd left the mound. He's held the opposition off the scoreboard in five of his last seven outings, posting a dazzling 1.40 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 39:8 K:BB over 45 innings during that stretch, and he'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in St. Louis.
