Phillips (2-3) earned the win Wednesday over the Mariners, allowing four hits and two walks across five scoreless innings. He struck out three.

It was a strong bounce-back effort from Phillips, who gave up five runs in just 3.1 innings during his last start against the A's. Prior to that outing, Phillips had turned in back-to-back quality starts, allowing just four runs across 13.1 frames in that span. Overall, the 28-year-old right-hander sports a 3.28 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP and 55:34 K:BB across 74 innings this season.

Fairbanks earned the save in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Mariners, allowing a hit while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

After giving up a one-out single to Josh Naylor, Fairbanks rebounded to strike out the final two batters in the ninth to log his 13th save in 15 chances this season. The 32-year-old Fairbanks has now turned in back-to-back scoreless appearances after giving up seven runs (six earned) over his previous four innings. Overall, Fairbanks sports a 6.75 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP and 38:12 K:BB through 28 innings this season.

Kirby (7-8) took the loss Wednesday against the Marlins, allowing two runs on eight hits across six innings. He struck out seven.

It was another strong outing from Kirby, who's now held opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his last three outings, though he ultimately came away with the loss as Seattle failed to generate any runs in a 3-0 defeat. Kirby's turned in five straight quality starts, allowing 11 earned runs across 32 innings during that span. The right-hander will head into the All-Star break with a 3.76 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 98:24 K:BB across 18 starts (110 innings) this year.

Herrin was removed from Wednesday's game against the Twins after getting hit on the elbow by a comebacker, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Herrin was replaced on the mound immediately after taking an 89.4-mph line drive off his left (throwing) elbow in the sixth inning. He'll likely be sent in for X-rays to determine whether he suffered a fracture, and an update on his status should come in the near future.

Holmes did not factor into the decision Wednesday against Pittsburgh, allowing three hits and a walk across five scoreless innings. He struck out five.

Since returning to Atlanta's rotation, Holmes has given up just one earned run on eight hits across 10 frames in two starts. He's given up just two runs in his last four appearances (18.2 innings) overall. Holmes' ERA now sits at 3.61 on the season with a 1.32 WHIP and 76:39 K:BB across 87.1 innings.

An MRI on Warren's right forearm revealed no ligament damage Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Warren landed on the injured list Wednesday with a right forearm strain, but the imaging results confirm he won't need to go under the knife to address the injury. He remains without an official return timeline, but he will most likely be out longer than the 15-day minimum.

Iglesias earned the save in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Pirates, allowing one walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

After giving up four runs in his last two appearances, including three in his first blown save of the season Monday, Iglesias rebounded with a strong effort against the Pirates, working around a two-out walk to lock down his 18th save. Overall, Iglesias sports a 2.30 ERA with a 1.12 WHIP and 35:7 K:BB across 31.1 innings this year.

Jones did not factor into the decision Wednesday against Atlanta, logging eight strikeouts across six perfect innings.

While the Pirates failed to provide Jones with any run support in an eventual 3-0 defeat, the right-hander's dominant performance certainly offered a silver lining. Jones struck out eight of the 18 batters he faced, ultimately needing 77 pitches to get through six perfect innings. The 24-year-old Jones has now allowed just five earned runs across 17.2 innings in his last four starts as he continues to work his way back from UCL surgery that sidelined him for all of 2025. Overall, his ERA sits at 4.37 with a 1.14 WHIP and 39:11 K:BB through his first eight starts (35 innings) this season.

Seigler was diagnosed with a right trapezius contusion following his removal from Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Seigler initially seemed to have suffered a head injury after sliding into Kyle Teel's knee guard during a play at the plate in the third inning, though it appears his upper back took most of the damage. Seigler can be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Contreras was removed from Wednesday's game against the White Sox with a left foot contusion, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Contreras fouled a ball off his foot during his at-bat in the top of the third inning, and although he managed to finish the plate appearance, he later took himself out of the game in the bottom of the frame. The initial diagnosis suggests he avoided a fracture, though the Red Sox could hold him out for a game or two so he can recover. Romy Gonzalez entered Wednesday's game as Contreras' replacement and would be the favorite to start at first base if an absence is needed.
