Drohan didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Reds, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out four.

Drohan received plenty of run support, as the Brewers staked him to an early 4-0 lead, but he couldn't last long enough to qualify for the win Saturday. The rookie southpaw is showing signs of fatigue late in the season, conceding at least five runs while working four innings or fewer in consecutive outings. He'll try to right the ship his next time out in Baltimore, where he'll bring a 4.35 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 119:41 K:BB over 118 innings.

Singer (6-14) took the loss Saturday against the Brewers, allowing eight runs on eight hits and five walks in four innings. He struck out five.

Milwaukee pounced on Singer right away, tagging him for four runs in the first inning. The right-hander had given up more than four runs just three times in 2026 before his most recent two starts in September, during which he's coughed up a staggering 14 runs. He'll take a 5.38 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 125:56 K:BB over 150.2 innings into a difficult home assignment versus the Dodgers.

Mayza didn't factor into the decision Saturday against Atlanta, allowing two hits and no walks in three scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Mayza filled in admirably for the injured Jesus Luzardo (shoulder) on Saturday, blanking Atlanta for three frames in a spot start as an opener. The southpaw has given up just one earned run in his last 14 outings. Through 64.1 innings on the year, he has a 3.08 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 63:15 K:BB, typically serving as a middle reliever for the Phillies.

Fairbanks earned the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers, allowing one run on one hit and one walk without recording a strikeout in the ninth inning.

Fairbanks was called on for his first save opportunity since returning from the injured list Wednesday and closed the door despite allowing a run. The 32-year-old's fastball velocity was down nearly three mph from his season average, so he is possibly still experiencing some rust from his hand injury. He's now 19-for-23 in save chances this year but owns an ugly 6.10 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 57:20 K:BB across 41.1 innings this season.

Mahle (6-10) tallied the win Saturday against the Phillies, allowing one run on six hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out six.

Mahle cruised to the victory Saturday, with Atlanta surging for eight runs in the fourth inning. The right-hander has been dealing on the mound in his new digs, surrendering two runs or fewer while pitching at least six innings in six of his last seven outings since joining Atlanta. He'll look to keep the good times going his next time out in Houston, where he'll carry a season 3.91 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 127:43 K:BB over 138 innings.

Betts went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

Betts opened the scoring with a solo shot in the first inning, reaching the 20-homer milestone for the ninth time in his career. It continued a strong September for the veteran, who's hitting .333 with seven extra-base hits, 14 RBI and 12 runs scored through 10 games this month. On the season, he's slashing .248/.313/.432 with 20 homers, 61 RBI, 63 runs scored and two steals across 470 plate appearances.

Phillips did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks with three strikeouts over 3.2 innings.

Phillips allowed back-to-back homers in the first inning but did keep the Dodgers in check from there despite throwing just 37 of 68 pitches for strikes. It marked the first time the 28-year-old failed to complete at least four frames in a game he started since July 12, and he's now yielded three earned runs or fewer in five straight outings. He owns a 3.55 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 96:51 K:BB across 119 innings this season and lines up for a road matchup with the Padres next weekend.

Glasnow (4-1) took the loss against the Marlins on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks with seven strikeouts over four innings.

Glasnow suffered a three-run second inning and labored overall, throwing just 52 of 91 pitches for strikes and departing after walking two straight batters to open the fifth. While the 33-year-old has registered an impressive 28 punchouts through 22 innings (four starts) since returning from the injured list Aug. 25, he owns a 4.91 ERA during that stretch. He'll take a 3.50 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 77:21 K:BB across 61.2 frames into a home matchup with the Giants next weekend.

The Nationals optioned Yean to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.

The 25-year-old right-hander was just recalled three days ago and has appeared in eight games for the Nationals this season, posting a 2.45 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB across 11 innings.

Sasaki (finger) could come off the injured list as early as Thursday against the Reds, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

It was previously believed Sasaki could return Sunday in Miami, but that's not in the Dodgers' plans. The right-hander hasn't pitched since August 26 due to a blister on his right middle finger. Sasaki has made 23 starts this season, posting a 4.60 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 117:48 K:BB across 119.1 innings. In seven starts since the All-Star break, Sasaki has a 3.05 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over 38.1 frames.
