Gibson (7-4) allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while failing to record a strikeout over five innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Nationals.

Gibson has posted a 17:9 K:BB over 20.2 innings across his last four starts, allowing 10 runs in that span. That's just a little worse than his 3.97 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 102:46 K:BB for the year, marks he's achieved in 113.1 innings across 20 starts. The veteran right-hander is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Cubs.

Thomas went 1-for-4 with a walk, a stolen base and three runs scored in Saturday's 14-3 win over the Cardinals.

Thomas is 6-for-26 (.231) with five steals over eight games since the All-Star break. The speedy outfielder is up to 28 thefts this season, though he's needed 40 attempts to get there. He's added a .250/.329/.399 slash line with eight home runs, 39 RBI, 42 runs scored, 14 doubles and three triples over 76 contests.

Ramirez went 3-for-3 with a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 14-3 win over the Cardinals.

Ramirez came into the game as a pinch hitter for Jesse Winker, who was pulled because he was traded to the Mets. Ramirez immediately took advantage with an excellent performance that included his first multi-hit effort since June 29. The veteran outfielder is hitting .308 (8-for-26) in July, and he may see a larger role now that Winker is out of the picture. For the season, Ramirez is slashing .275/.291/.338 with two home runs, 26 RBI, 26 runs scored and five stolen bases over 213 plate appearances between the Rays and Nationals.

Biggio went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI, a double and a walk in a 7-6 loss to Houston on Saturday.

Biggio put the Dodgers on the board with an RBI double in the second inning and later provided what looked to be a valuable insurance run with a solo homer in the eighth, though it wasn't enough to prevent the Astros from pulling out the victory. He now has four runs batted in over his past five contests, collecting as many RBI during that span as he had accumulated across his previous 30 games combined. Biggio's two hits Saturday pushed him just over the Mendoza Line, as he's slashing a paltry .202/.319/.307 across 192 plate appearances on the season.

Wood went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 14-3 win over the Cardinals.

Wood entered Saturday 0-for-15 with eight strikeouts and one walk over his last four games. He made up for the slump throughout this contest, producing the first four-hit game of his career. The outfield prospect lifted his batting average to .235 with a .650 OPS, two home runs, three doubles, 15 RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases through 22 contests overall. Wood still has some learning to do on the job, as evidenced by a 35.1 percent strikeout rate, but he's also shown promise while playing on an everyday basis since coming up to the majors at the start of July.

Ruiz went 1-for-6 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 14-3 win over the Nationals.

Ruiz didn't have much success Saturday, but he took Matthew Liberatore deep in the sixth inning to turn this game into a rout in favor of Washington. This was Ruiz's fourth homer in July, and he's batting .261 (18-for-69) this month, though he hasn't posted a multi-hit effort since July 8. The catcher has a .217/.250/.337 slash line, eight homers, 33 RBI, 26 runs scored and one stolen base over 77 contests this season.

Ohtani went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run, an additional RBI, two walks and a stolen base Saturday in a loss to the Astros.

Ohtani belted another moonshot in the loss, going 443 feet to right field in the third inning. The NL MVP candidate added a run-scoring single in the sixth and reached base four times in total. Ohtani also swiped his 26th base in the contest, tying the career-high mark he established in that category in 2021. The Japanese superstar leads the National League with a .318 batting average and 32 home runs, ranks second with 76 RBI and is in fourth place with 26 steals through 103 games.

Irvin (8-8) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Cardinals on Saturday.

The two runs on his line came on a Willson Contreras home run in the sixth inning, but the Nationals had already established a large lead. Irvin has allowed four runs over 12.1 innings across two starts since the All-Star break after struggling in his last two outings prior to the intermission. He's now at a 3.44 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 111:30 K:BB through 128.1 innings over 22 starts this season. Irvin's next outing is projected to be at home versus the Brewers.

Wrobleski allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Houston on Saturday.

Wrobleski cruised through five frames, holding the Astros scoreless on two hits. He then allowed consecutive singles to begin the sixth but rebounded to retire the next pair of batters before Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts decided to pull the southpaw after a modest 82 pitches. That decision didn't work out well for the Dodgers, as Evan Phillips came in and surrendered four consecutive singles, allowing both inherited runners plus two more to score. Wrobleski later lost the opportunity for his first big-league victory when Houston put up two runs in the eighth frame. Despite the disappointing outcome for the rookie, his start was promising overall, as he tossed a career-high 5.2 frames and came within one out of a quality start. With James Paxton's recent release, Wrobleski has a good chance of sticking in the rotation even when Walker Buehler (hip) returns from the injured list.

Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a loss to the Marlins on Saturday.

Hoskins plated all three of the runs Milwaukee scored against Miami starter Max Meyer with a three-run blast in the fourth inning. It was the second straight game with a long ball for the veteran first baseman, and Saturday's homer was his sixth over his past 14 contests. The surge has pushed Hoskins to 17 home runs on the campaign, and he's now three long balls away from reaching 20 for the fifth time in his career.
