Lodolo didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals, giving up four runs on nine hits and a walk over five-plus innings. He struck out three.

The southpaw got tagged for three runs in the second inning and another in the fifth on a Jordan Walker solo shot, but Lodolo actually left the mound with the Reds nursing a 5-4 lead, only for the bullpen to blow it late. Lodolo has lasted at least five innings in five of six starts since making his season debut in early May due to blister issues, managing a 5.51 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 25:14 K:BB over 32.2 innings while serving up eight homers. He'll look to produce a sharper outing in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Diamondbacks.

Ryan didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Royals, allowing one run on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out five.

The right-hander delivered his eighth quality start of the season on 102 pitches (66 strikes), but Ryan left the mound with the score tied 1-1. Five of those quality starts have come in his last six outings, a stretch in which he's delivered a 2.39 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 44:6 K:BB through 37.2 innings. He'll look for his fifth win of the year in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Detroit.

Montero (2-4) took the loss Saturday as the Tigers fell 4-0 to the Mariners, giving up four runs on six hits and and a walk over five innings. He struck out one.

Half the hits off the right-hander went for extra bases, including a solo homer by Dominic Canzone in the fourth inning. Montero has been tagged for four runs in three of his last five outings, a stretch in which he's stumbled to a 5.13 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 15:8 K:BB in 26.1 innings. With Tarik Skubal (elbow), Justin Verlander (hip) and Casey Mize (thigh) all closing in on returns from the IL in the next couple weeks, Montero's time in the Detroit rotation could be coming to an end very soon.

Miller (2-0) picked up the win Saturday, allowing one hit and two walks over six scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory over the Tigers. He struck out nine.

No longer working in tandem with Luis Castillo, Miller completed six innings for the first time in five starts since coming off the IL while setting a season high in strikeouts. The right-hander has been outstanding since making his belated 2026 debut in mid-May, posting a 1.33 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 29:5 K:BB through 27 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week in Baltimore.

Burke (3-3) earned the win against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing three runs on three hits and five walks with seven strikeouts over 4.1 innings.

Burke was actually the only White Sox pitcher to allow a run on Saturday, but he was spotted an early lead and did enough to earn the win in bulk relief. The 26-year-old issued a season-high five walks and allowed two homers, but he has now tallied at least five strikeouts in five straight outings. He'll carry a 3.88 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 67:23 K:BB across 69.2 innings into a tough home matchup against the Dodgers next weekend.

Painter (1-7) took the loss against the White Sox on Saturday, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

Painter allowed four runs in the first inning before surrendering two solo homers in the third. He generated 13 whiffs on 93 pitches and allowed just three hard-hit balls, but all three went for extra bases. It marked the fifth time in 12 starts that the rookie failed to complete five frames, and he has now recorded four strikeouts or fewer in six straight outings. He'll take an ugly 6.21 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 47:19 K:BB across 58 innings this season into a challenging road matchup against the Brewers next weekend.

Bradish (3-7) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing five runs on nine hits and three walks with three strikeouts over four innings.

Bradish was mostly done in by a four-run third inning, though he allowed at least one baserunner in every frame before departing at 81 pitches. It was the 29-year-old's shortest outing since another five-run loss May 2, snapping a five-start stretch in which he had surrendered just six earned runs overall. He'll take a 3.89 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 68:36 K:BB across 69.1 innings into a home matchup against the Mariners next week.

The Dodgers transferred Glasnow (back) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Glasnow has yet to make strong enough strides to return to a big-league mound, thus resulting in a 60-day IL stint. The 32-year-old resumed throwing May 25, but he was unable to get over the hump to advance his pitching progression beyond playing catch. The Dodgers will call up Nick Frasso to take Glasnow's spot on the 40-man roster and add another pitcher to the depleted Dodgers pitching staff.

Roupp did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Cubs, allowing one run on three hits and three walks with five strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Roupp opened with five scoreless frames before allowing a solo homer in the sixth, departing one out shy of a quality start after throwing 98 pitches. It was an encouraging rebound for the 27-year-old, who had yielded eight runs while pitching through back discomfort in his previous outing Monday. He owns a 4.00 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 77:30 K:BB across 69.2 innings this season and lines up for a home rematch against the Cubs next weekend.

The Brewers selected Rom's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

With Brian Fitzpatrick (elbow) becoming the third Brewers reliever to land on the injured list in the past two days, the team will turn to Rom to provide depth to its bullpen. The 26-year-old southpaw hasn't pitched in the majors since 2023, but he's posted a 2.81 ERA and 1.19 WHIP to go with a 37:8 K:BB through 25.2 innings at Nashville this season.
