Allen (6-8) took the loss against the Athletics on Saturday, allowing three runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four batters over 5.1 innings.

Allen was sharp through three innings, retiring nine of the 10 batters he faced. Things took a major turn for the worse for him in the fourth, however, as the A's led off the frame with three straight doubles and four consecutive hits overall to score three times. Allen got into trouble again in the fifth and the sixth, though no additional runs were charged to his ledger. The lefty saw a stretch of three straight quality starts come to an end, but he did manage to yield three or fewer runs for the seventh consecutive outing. Allen will carry a 4.06 ERA into his next start, which lines up to come at home versus Baltimore.

Evans allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out five over four-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Saturday.

Evans wasn't efficient enough, needing 88 pitches (53 strikes) for this start. He was still better than Houston starter Lance McCullers, but Evans has now failed to complete five frames in consecutive outings. He's at a 3.81 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 40:18 K:BB through 54.1 innings over 10 starts to begin his major-league career. Evans is tentatively expected to make his next start on the road versus the Angels, though more shaky performances could lead to him being demoted to Triple-A Tacoma in favor of another starter at some point.

Severino (3-11) earned the win over Cleveland on Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three batters over five innings.

Severino gave up a two-run homer to Jose Ramirez in the third inning, but those were the only runs the Guardians could muster against him. The veteran right-hander got enough run support to snap a five-game losing streak, and this was a promising performance after he logged a 7.94 ERA during the skid. Severino is still tough to roster in fantasy with a 5.10 ERA and mediocre 6.4 K/9 on the campaign, while a projected matchup in Houston his next time out won't make the veteran hurler a good streaming option.

Kremer completed seven innings Saturday against Tampa Bay, allowing one run on three hits and three walks while striking out six batters in a no-decision.

Kremer cruised through six scoreless innings before the Rays plated a run against him in the seventh. The right-hander held a one-run lead upon his departure, but Baltimore's bullpen was unable to hold it. Despite having to settle for a no-decision, this was another promising outing by Kremer, who has completed exactly seven frames in three of his past four starts, giving up one or zero runs in each of those three outings. Kremer held a 4.99 ERA at the end of his June 12 start versus Detroit, but he's shown considerable improvement since then. Over his past six appearances, the veteran hurler is 3-0 with a 2.00 ERA and 33:9 K:BB across 36 frames.

Littell allowed two runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out three batters over six innings in a no-decision against Baltimore on Saturday.

Littell fell behind early, allowing two runs in the first inning. He settled in from there, however, allowing just four more baserunners and zero runs over the remainder of his six frames. Littell was thus able to record a quality start -- his third over his past four appearances -- and was taken off the hook for a loss when the Rays battled for four runs over the seventh and eighth innings. The right-hander lowered his season ERA to 3.53, and he hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of his past six outings.

Montero (4-2) took the loss against Texas on Saturday, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks while striking out five batters over 4.1 innings.

Montero has bounced between a traditional starting role and bulk relief this season -- Saturday marked his eighth start across 14 total outings. The right-hander didn't fare well against the Rangers, and most of the runs he allowed came in the second inning on a three-run homer by Rowdy Tellez. Overall, Montero tossed just 47 of 82 pitches for strikes and notched only four whiffs, though he still managed to record more punchouts than innings. With a 4.28 ERA on the campaign, Montero hasn't made an overwhelming case to stick in the rotation, and it remains to be seen if he'll eventually lose his spot to Sawyer Gipson-Long (neck), who is nearing the end of a minor-league rehab assignment.

Povich (hip) struck out six while allowing one earned run on three hits and one walk over 3.1 innings in a rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Norfolk.

After firing three perfect innings in his previous rehab outing for High-A Aberdeen last Sunday, Povich was fairly sharp in his 62-pitch appearance for Norfolk. The left-hander is tracking toward a return from the injured list in late July or early August, although it's unclear if Baltimore will have a spot in its rotation available for him once he's activated. Trevor Rogers, who was recalled from the minor leagues to replace Povich when he got injured, has delivered a sparkling 1.53 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB over six starts with Baltimore and appears to have established himself as a fixture in the rotation moving forward.

Rocker (4-4) earned the win over Detroit on Saturday, allowing one hit and issuing three walks while striking out five batters over 6.1 scoreless innings.

Rocker was pounded by the Angels for six runs over 4.1 frames in his previous start, but he bounced back in fine fashion Saturday. The righty was pitching a no-hitter until Wenceel Perez tagged him for a two-out single in the sixth inning, and that was the only base knock Rocker ending up allowing. The second-year hurler finished with 13 whiffs and notched his third quality start of the campaign. Rocker still has a poor 5.66 ERA on the season, but this was a promising outing as he looks to turn things around in the second half.

Sheehan (1-1) allowed five runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three over three-plus innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Brewers.

Sheehan had given up a total of three runs over his first 13.1 innings this season. He was off to a good start until the third inning Saturday, when he allowed four runs, and his outing ended in the fourth after he surrendered a solo home run to Isaac Collins. It was a rough return to a starting role after Sheehan was used as a bulk reliever in his previous appearances. He's now at a 4.41 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB through 16.1 innings this season. He has a tenuous grasp on a rotation spot, aided by the facts that the Dodgers have used six starters when possible and Shohei Ohtani is still building up his workload. Sheehan's place in the rotation could still be at risk once Blake Snell (shoulder) returns, though it's tentatively expected Sheehan will draw a start in Boston next week.

Nelson (6-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over six innings against the Cardinals. He struck out four.

Nelson kept his strong 2025 campaign rolling Saturday by limiting the Cardinals' offense to a single run on two doubles and two singles. The right-hander has been especially effective recently, posting a 2.29 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over 39.1 innings across his past seven starts.
