King took a no-decision Wednesday against Atlanta, allowing one run on five hits and four walks in six innings. He struck out seven.

The Atlanta bats brought a run across during the first inning but were unable to score against King the rest of the way. The seven punchouts were the right-hander's most since his May 18 start versus the Dodgers, and he's now fired at least five innings while yielding two runs or fewer in five of his past six outings. King will carry a strong 3.24 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 103:49 K:BB over 119.1 innings into what shapes up as a soft home draw against the last-place Rockies.

Perez took a no-decision Wednesday against the Padres, allowing no runs on one hit and four walks in four innings. He struck out three.

Making his return from the 15-day injured list with a bruised forearm, Perez fared about as well as Atlanta could have hoped for Wednesday. The 35-year-old southpaw showed some signs of rust with a lack of control -- matching a season high in walks -- but he still turned in his first scoreless start since April 28 against Detroit. Perez will take a 3.38 ERA, his best mark since 2022 with Texas, 1.20 WHIP and a 65:36 K:BB over 85.1 innings into his next scheduled outing in New York against the last-place Mets.

Bohm went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 9-5 loss to the Dodgers.

Bohm opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the first inning before driving in a run on a single in the eighth. It was the 29-year-old's fourth multi-hit effort in six games since returning from the All-Star break, a stretch that includes three extra-base hits and six RBI. On the season, he's slashing .225/.283/.374 with 13 homers, 53 RBI, 33 runs scored and a steal across 399 plate appearances.

Freeman went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 9-5 win over the Phillies.

Freeman grounded out in the first inning before reaching base in his final four plate appearances. Despite hitting a solid .270 through 17 July games, it was the 36-year-old's first three-hit effort since June 27, and his fourth-inning double was his first extra-base hit in nine games. For the season, he's slashing .289/.373/.480 with 15 homers, 51 RBI, 54 runs scored and four steals across 434 plate appearances.

Marchan was removed from Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to left knee pain, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Marchan went 0-for-3 before leaving the game in the ninth inning. He's scheduled to undergo imaging during Philadelphia's day off Thursday, and an update on his status is likely to come before the team begins its weekend series against the Yankees.

Pages went 1-for-5 with one run scored and two stolen bases in Wednesday's 9-5 win over the Phillies.

Pages posted his first two-steal effort of the campaign, swiping both bags in the eighth inning. The All-Star starter has hit safely in five of six games since returning from the break, though he has also struck out nine times in that span. For the year, he's slashing .268/.333/.459 with 17 homers, 68 RBI, 60 runs scored and 10 steals across 438 plate appearances.

Rushing went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Wednesday's 9-5 win over the Phillies.

Rushing got the Dodgers on the board with a solo homer in the third inning before giving them a 3-2 lead with a two-run double in the fifth. It was a much-needed effort for the 25-year-old, who entered the game mired in an 0-for-19 slump dating back to July 7. On the season, he's hitting .247/.338/.474 with 11 home runs, 33 RBI and 32 runs scored across 222 plate appearances.

Lauer (5-5) earned the win against the Phillies on Wednesday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk with five strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Lauer allowed three runs on two homers but otherwise kept the Phillies in check, throwing 61 of 91 pitches for strikes with 10 whiffs. Since debuting with the Dodgers on May 26, the southpaw has posted four quality starts in eight appearances while yielding three earned runs or fewer in each outing. He'll carry a 4.83 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 52:28 K:BB across 82 innings with the Blue Jays and Dodgers this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Mariners next week.

Nola (3-8) took the loss against the Dodgers on Wednesday, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Nola entered the fifth inning with a 2-1 lead but allowed a two-run double in the frame before surrendering what proved to be a decisive two-run homer in the sixth. Despite entering the contest having yielded just eight earned runs with two quality starts over his past three outings, the 33-year-old is now 0-3 in July and last recorded a win May 26. He'll take a 5.82 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 112:36 K:BB across 108.1 innings this season and lines up for a road matchup with the Marlins next week.

Wetherholt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Angels.

Wetherholt's 409-foot blast off Reid Detmers in the sixth inning proved to be the game's only offense. Through six games since returning from the All-Star break, the 23-year-old rookie has gone 6-for-26 with two homers, four RBI, four runs scored and a stolen base. On the year, he's slashing .257/.352/.403 with 15 homers, 40 RBI, 62 runs scored and 10 steals across 435 plate appearances.
