Olson went 2-for-5 with two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Dodgers.

Olson had gone hitless in consecutive contests for the first time this season entering Saturday. He snapped that drought with a two-hit game and also picked up his first steal of the campaign as a bonus. The first baseman has been one of the most consistent hitters in baseball so far in 2026, batting .297 with a 1.025 OPS, 13 home runs, 35 RBI, 35 runs scored and 15 doubles. Don't expect much speed out of him -- he hasn't stolen more than one base in a season since he swiped four bags in 2021.

Cabrera (3-1) was tagged with the loss Saturday against the Rangers after allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out six.

This was Cabrera's worst outing of the season, and he's clearly trending in the wrong direction after suffering his first defeat of 2026. The right-hander began the season with 11.2 scoreless frames in his first two starts, but he's allowed at least three earned runs in each of his last six appearances. Cabrera, who gave up multiple homers Saturday for the third time in his last four starts, now has a 3.88 ERA across 46.1 innings this year. He lines up to make his next start against the crosstown White Sox.

Strider (1-0) allowed one hit and two walks while striking out eight over six scoreless innings to earn the win over the Dodgers on Saturday.

Strider struggled in his season debut in Colorado last Sunday, but he rebounded in his second start Saturday, shutting down a potent lineup. Strider has posted a 14:7 K:BB over 9.1 innings across his first two starts of the year, so it'll be important to see if he can dial in his control after missing the first month-plus of the campaign due to an oblique strain. The right-hander's next start is projected to be a favorable one at home versus the Red Sox.

Sewald struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Mets.

This was Sewald's first save since April 17 versus the Blue Jays. Over his last six appearances, he's given up three runs across 5.1 innings with a 6:4 K:BB. The lack of recent saves is simply because the Diamondbacks are producing too few opportunities -- Saturday's victory was just their second win through eight games in May. Sewald is at a 3.29 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB across 13.2 innings this season. He's converted all eight of his save chances this year despite some hiccups in non-save situations and remains Arizona's No. 1 option to close out games.

Kelly (2-3) allowed one run on three hits and three walks while striking out six over seven innings to earn the win over the Mets on Saturday.

Kelly had been knocked around in his previous three outings, giving up a total of 19 runs across 13.2 innings. He bounced back in a big way Saturday, delivering his best start of the year in a game where he had little margin for error. Performances like this one haven't been the norm in 2026 for the veteran right-hander, who is at a 7.62 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 20:18 K:BB across 26 innings. Kelly's next start is lined up to be a daunting road assignment in Colorado.

Holmes (4-3) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.

Holmes ran into some trouble in the third inning, giving up a two-run single to Ildemaro Vargas, and that ended up being the difference in the game. Over eight starts this season, Holmes has yet to allow more than two runs in any outing. He's at a 1.86 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 37:16 K:BB through 48.1 innings. Holmes will look to keep rolling in his next start, which is projected to be at home versus the Yankees.

Karros went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a double Saturday against the Phillies.

Karros doubled in a pair in the fourth inning, which also extended his hitting streak to nine games. He's gone 10-for-32 with three doubles, six RBI and four runs scored in that span. Even with that hot stretch, Karros is hitting only .223 with nine RBI across 135 plate appearances on the year. He has been Colorado's primary third baseman all season, though he has been out of the lineup in two of the team's last six games against right-handers.

Harrison allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out six batters over four innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Saturday.

Harrison's outing began poorly, as he gave up a leadoff homer to Paul Goldschmidt in the first inning. The lefty hurler bounced back to an extent after that, giving up just one more run across his four frames, though he also issued four free passes and needed an inefficient 77 pitches. His final frame was particularly stressful, as New York loaded the bases with nobody out, but Harrison was able to save his final line from blowing up by yielding just one run. He missed out on picking up a third straight victory, but Harrison still carries a strong 2.41 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 41:13 K:BB through 33.2 innings spanning seven starts.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that he expects Stewart (foot) will be out for approximately three weeks, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Stewart landed on the 15-day IL earlier in the day due to a left foot bone spur. Given the estimated recovery timeline, Stewart will be on the shelf until at least late May, though it's unclear whether he'll need to go on a rehab assignment before rejoining the Dodgers.

Peterson will operate in a bulk-relief role in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

As was the case in the Mets' 4-2 win over the Rockies this past Monday, Huascar Brazoban will serve as the team's opener. Peterson took the mound after Brazoban and Austin Warren in Monday's contest and ended up picking up the win after allowing two runs on three hits and no walks while striking out six across four frames. Peterson has yielded two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four outings but still sits at a 6.29 ERA and 1.60 WHIP across 34.1 innings this season.
