  • Giants' Landen Roupp: Gives up four runs in loss

    Roupp (5-2) took the loss against the Rays on Saturday, allowing four runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six across 4.1 innings.

    Roupp limited the Rays to two baserunners and zero runs through the first three innings. However, the 27-year-old right-hander was chased out of the fifth after giving up three runs in the frame, highlighted by a two-run single from Jonathan Aranda. Roupp's four runs allowed were his most since April 4 against the Mets (five). He sits at a 3.18 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across 39.2 innings, and his 43 punchouts are tied for fifth-most in the National League. Roupp's next start is slated for next weekend at home against the Pirates.

  • Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Removed for precautionary reasons

    Chourio (hand/foot) was removed from Saturday's rehab game with Triple-A Nashville for precautionary reasons, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Chourio played in his third rehab contest Saturday and fouled a ball off his foot in the third inning before being removed from the game in the fourth. It sounds like he avoided any sort of injury as he trends toward activation from the 10-day injured list next week, perhaps as soon as Monday against the Cardinals.

  • Abner Uribe RP | MIL

    Brewers' Abner Uribe: Notches third save

    Uribe gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his third save of the season in a 4-1 win over the Nationals.

    A David Hamilton error made things interesting and allowed the first two batters in the ninth to reach base for Washington, but Uribe buckled down and retired the next three batters. Trevor Megill worked a perfect eighth against the Nats' 2-3-4 hitters while Uribe faced the bottom part of the order, so both high-octane relievers could still be in the closing mix, but it's the latter who's handled his team's last three ninth-inning save chances. On the season, Uribe sports a 3.65 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB over 12.1 innings.

  • Kyle Harrison SP | MIL

    Brewers' Kyle Harrison: Delivers quality start in third win

    Harrison (3-1) picked up the win in Saturday's 4-1 victory over the Nationals, allowing one run on seven hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.

    After a rough week for the Brewers rotation that saw both Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) and Jacob Misiorowski (hamstring) leave their starts early, Harrison gave his team some much-needed length. The southpaw tossed 66 of 93 pitches for strikes en route to his second straight quality start, and he still has yet to give up more than two runs in any outing this season. Harrison will take a 2.12 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 35:9 K:BB through 29.2 innings into his next trip to the mound, which is set to come at home next weekend against the Yankees.

  • Braves' Ronald Acuna: Leaves game with hamstring injury

    Acuna was removed in the second inning of Saturday's game against the Rockies due to left hamstring tightness.

    Acuna came out limping out of the batters box after a groundball out in the second inning and was taken out of the game shortly after. Atlanta should have another update on the superstar outfielder's hamstring during or shortly after Saturday's game once he undergoes further tests on the injury. Eli White is in at right field following Acuna's exit.

  • Brewers' Jackson Chourio: Exits Saturday's rehab game

    Chourio (hand) left Saturday's rehab game with Triple-A Nashville due to a foot injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Chourio fouled a ball off his foot during the third inning of Saturday's game. He stayed in the game to finish his plate appearance but was replaced in the fourth, and he'll undergo further tests on his foot. Chourio is in Triple-A on a rehab assignment as part of his recovery from left hamate bone surgery that landed him on the 10-day injured list before the start of the regular season.

  • Andrew Painter SP | PHI

    Phillies' Andrew Painter: Command issues in Saturday's loss

    Painter (1-3) took the loss against the Marlins on Saturday, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out seven across five innings.

    It was the third time in six starts that Painter recorded at least seven punchouts. However, the 23-year-old right-hander struggled with his command during Saturday's loss and faced bases-loaded situations in both the second and third innings. He limited the damage to three runs despite yielding 10 baserunners, but Painter was unable to avoid the loss after his Phillies teammates were limited to just one hit. He will bring a 5.28 ERA and 1.59 WHIP (across 29 innings) into his next start, which is tentatively slated for next week at home against the Athletics.

  • Otto Lopez SS | MIA

    Marlins' Otto Lopez: Another multi-hit game

    Lopez went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a run scored during Miami's 4-0 win over Philadelphia on Saturday.

    Lopez came home to score in the third inning after Connor Norby drew a bases-loaded walk, and the former later gave the Marlins their fourth run of the game after his infield single scored Esteury Ruiz in the sixth. Lopez is up to 12 multi-hit games on the season, four of which have come over his last eight outings. The 27-year-old shortstop has accumulated 43 hits and has a .336 batting average, both of which are second best in the majors behind Shea Langeliers (45 hits) and Ildemaro Vargas (.388 BA), respectively.

  • Xavier Edwards 2B | MIA

    Marlins' Xavier Edwards: Swats second homer of season

    Edwards went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during the Marlins' 4-0 win over the Phillies on Saturday.

    Edwards extended the Marlins' lead to 3-0 after smacking a solo homer off Andrew Painter in the fifth inning. It was Edwards' second home run of the season, with his first taking place April 3 against the Mets. He has reached base safely in eight consecutive games, and over that span he has gone 10-for-28 (.357) with two steals, six walks and four RBI.

  • Max Meyer SP | MIA

    Marlins' Max Meyer: Blanks Phillies in Saturday's win

    Meyer (2-0) earned the win against Philadelphia on Saturday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out seven across seven scoreless innings.

    Meyer set the tone early by striking out three of the first four batters he faced. He allowed just two baserunners and generated 15 whiffs on 83 pitches (55 strikes). It was the first quality start of the season for Meyer and first in nearly a full calendar year. Saturday's efforts improved the right-hander's season-long numbers to a 2.68 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 40:13 K:BB across 37 innings. Meyer is tentatively lined up to face the Orioles at home next week.
