Devers went 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in Saturday's 5-0 win over Atlanta.

Devers went yard to open the scoring with a solo shot in the second inning, and he added a three-run blast one frame later. Prior to Saturday's power display, the first baseman had been slumping a bit, going just 3-for-23 over his previous six games. He's now batting .240 on the year with a .754 OPS, 14 homers, 43 RBI, 38 runs scored, 24 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 82 contests.

Webb (5-5) allowed one hit and two walks while striking out six over seven shutout innings to earn the win Saturday over Atlanta.

Webb went at least seven frames in each of his five starts in June. He allowed just four runs (three earned) over 19 hits and four walks while racking up 29 strikeouts over 38 innings for the month. Webb was off to a shaky start to the season before he missed most of May due to a knee injury (5.06 ERA through his first eight outings), but he's been back in workhorse form since he returned. He's now at a 3.09 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 76:22 K:BB through 90.1 innings over 14 starts this season. The time he's already missed is likely to cost him a chance to reach the 200-inning mark for the fourth year in a row, but that's about the only knock on his numbers halfway through the season. Webb is projected to make his next start on the road in Colorado.

Garcia went 4-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Orioles.

Not only did Garcia tally his second four-hit game of the year, but he's now launched four homers in his past five outings. Additionally, the first baseman has blasted 11 long balls to go with 27 RBI over his last 28 contests (94 at-bats). Through 265 plate appearances overall, Garcia is hitting .273 with 14 big flies, 13 doubles and 50 RBI.

Peterson (4-6) notched the win Saturday against the Brewers, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out two.

Making his Cubs debut, Peterson immediately entered the rotation after bouncing around as a swingman with the Mets. The 30-year-old left-hander fell one out shy of what could've been his first quality start of the year, but it was still his longest outing so far. Peterson, who entered Saturday with a high groundball rate of 52.9 percent, could benefit from the elite defense of Nico Hoerner and Dansby Swanson in the Cubs' middle infield going forward. He'll carry a 5.86 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 65:30 K:BB over 73.2 innings into his next scheduled outing against the Cardinals.

Harrison took a no-decision Saturday against the Cubs, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out nine.

Besides a June 8 implosion in Las Vegas against the Athletics when he was shelled for a season-worst eight runs, Harrison has been incredibly consistent for the Brewers in 2026. The 24-year-old left-hander has now given up two runs or fewer in his 14 other starts, fanning at least six on nine occasions, as well. Harrison will carry a stellar 2.57 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 96:19 K:BB over 77 innings into his next scheduled outing in Arizona.

Lawrence secured the save Saturday against the Orioles, allowing no runs on one hit and one walk in a scoreless 10th inning.

Clayton Beeter kept Baltimore off the board with a scoreless ninth frame, and then Lawrence got the call for the 10th after Washington took the lead in the top of the inning. Lawrence, who was making his Nationals debut Saturday, has previous closing experience with the Rockies, though it's hard to envision him being trusted with consistent high-leverage work. Lawrence has a 7.76 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 37:22 K:BB over 29 innings between the Pirates, Twins and the Nats this year.

Griffin took a no-decision Saturday against the Orioles, allowing one unearned run on three hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck out nine.

A throwing error by Nasim Nunez in the second inning kept an earned run off Griffin's ledger Saturday. After being out of the major leagues since 2023, Griffin has been a revelation for the Nationals in 2026. The 30-year-old southpaw has given up fewer than two runs in five straight starts, and he's now recorded nine strikeouts in back-to-back outings. Griffin will take an impressive 2.93 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 98:25 K:BB over 98.1 innings into his next scheduled appearance against Pittsburgh.

Rolison will work as the Cubs' opening pitcher Sunday versus Milwaukee, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

Rolison has one opening appearance so far this season, retiring all four batters he faced against the Giants on June 13. He's tossed fewer than two frames in each of his 10 outings so far in June, so the left-hander presumably won't work deep into Sunday's matchup. The Cubs haven't designated a bulk reliever to enter the game behind Rolison, though Bryse Wilson had recently been serving as a starter at Triple-A Lehigh Valley in the Phillies organization before the Cubs scooped him up off waivers Wednesday.

Ramos (quadriceps) is expected to be activated from the 10-day IL on Sunday, and he's likely to see more playing time in right field, Justice delos Santos of The Mercury News reports.

Ramos last saw action for San Francisco on May 15 before being placed on the IL due to a right quad strain the following day. The 26-year-old kicked off a rehab assignment June 17 and has gone 9-for-26 with one home run, three doubles and two RBI over seven games. Since Ramos has been sidelined, Bryce Eldridge has thrived as the Giants' designated hitter while Casey Schmitt has played well while starting in left field. With that in mind, Schmitt is set to retain his role in that position, which will likely push Ramos to right field and move Jung Hoo Lee from right to center. That setup should remain consistent until Harrison Bader (foot), who doesn't have a clear timetable for a return, per delos Santos, is able to get back on the field.

Rangel (0-1) took the loss against the Mets on Saturday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks with four strikeouts over four innings.

Rangel pitched well early but unraveled in a four-run sixth inning he was unable to escape. Through three outings with the Phillies this season, the 28-year-old owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 13:2 K:BB across 12 innings. He gave up just one run in each of his first two appearances. Should he remain in the club's rotation plans, he'd line up for a home matchup against the Pirates next week.
