Mayza (2-1) earned the win Saturday against the Brewers after allowing one hit over one-third of an inning.

Mayza entered the game in the fourth inning and needed just five pitches (four strikes) to get the win, allowing a single to Jake Bauers before retiring Garrett Mitchell. This was Mayza's second win of the season, and he's gone six straight appearances without allowing a run. The left-hander has a 3.26 ERA and 1.02 WHIP across 27 appearances and 30.1 innings this season.

Petty (1-1) was the winning pitcher Saturday, giving up one hit and striking out one over 1.2 relief innings in a 2-1 win over Arizona.

Petty, a member of the rotation at Triple-A Louisville, was called up earlier in the week to give the Reds some bullpen length. He entered a tie game with one out and two runners on in the seventh inning and made the high-leverage situation thornier when he hit the first batter he faced. The right-hander then got two critical outs to escape the jam and became the pitcher of record when Noelvi Marte whacked a go-ahead home run in the eighth. The win was Petty's first in the majors.

Nola didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Brewers after allowing three runs on six hits, including two home runs, and two walks across 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

Nola hasn't been involved in the decision in any of his last three starts, and he's on a run of seven consecutive outings in which he's allowed at least two earned runs. With only one quality start over that stretch, Nola isn't producing results, nor is he pitching deep enough into games to be a reliable arm in fantasy. He has a 5.72 ERA and a 1.40 WHIP across eight starts and 39.1 innings since the beginning of May. Nola's next start is slated to come at home against the Mets.

Drohan (3-2) was tagged with the loss Saturday against the Phillies after allowing four runs on eight hits across five innings. He struck out seven.

Drohan's seven strikeouts were a season high for the 27-year-old southpaw, who's made four starts among 14 appearances this season while moving in and out of the rotation. Drohan has a 3.59 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 42.2 innings in 2026, and his 2.73 FIP suggests he's had a bit of bad luck. If he stays in the rotation for another turn, Drohan would be lined up to make his next start on the road against Atlanta.

Cameron didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Astros. He allowed four runs on seven hits, including two home runs, while striking out one across 4.1 innings.

Cameron wasn't at his best Saturday and saw the end of a four-start streak in which he'd given up two or fewer earned runs. This was also the first time the southpaw gave up multiple homers in a game since April 18, when he allowed two long balls against the Yankees. Cameron has a 4.11 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 13 starts and 70 innings this season, but his 3.49 FIP suggests better times are ahead. He's slated to make his next start at home against the Cardinals.

Lange (0-4) was tagged with the loss Saturday against the Astros after allowing a run on one hit and a walk across 1.2 innings. He struck out one.

The right-hander replaced Matt Strahm in the top of the eighth inning and retired Jake Meyers and Brice Matthews to keep the game tied. However, Lange couldn't do it again in the ninth and allowed the game-winning run on an RBI groundout from Christian Walker. Lange enjoyed a run of nine straight appearances without allowing a run between May 20 and June 9, but he's given up three over his last two outings (2.2 innings) since moving into a higher-leverage role. He owns a 4.13 ERA and 1.44 WHIP this season across 32.2 frames.

Carroll went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Reds.

Carroll gave the Diamondbacks an early lead with a first-inning homer, but for a second consecutive game, the team couldn't take advantage of its opportunities. Arizona was 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and left 12 runners on base. For Carroll, the home run was his 12th of the season and fifth in the last 11 contests.

Gurriel (hamstring) is expected to be reassessed after playing rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex Leage on Friday and Saturday, MLB.com reports.

Gurriel has played five of the last six days in the ACL, switching between left field and designated hitter. His addition will create a crowded outfield around Corbin Carroll, with Jordan Lawlar, Ryan Waldschmidt and Tommy Troy all vying for playing time.

King (1-1) earned the win Saturday against the Royals after pitching a perfect eighth inning, striking out one.

King entered the game in the bottom of the eighth inning in a 7-7 tie, but he needed just 17 pitches (10 strikes) to retire Nick Loftin, Lane Thomas and Kameron Misner. King, who's back in a setup role now that Josh Hader has come off the IL, hasn't given up a run in each of his last seven appearances. He owns a 1.05 WHIP and 5:2 K:BB across 6.2 innings over that stretch.

Alonso went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 9-3 loss to the Padres.

The slugging first baseman accounted for most of the Orioles' offense on the day, launching a solo shot off Randy Vasquez in the first inning and adding an RBI double in the seventh. Alonso has gone yard three times in the last four games, and through 12 contests to begin June he's slashing .326/.407/.674 with five of his 16 homers on the season, along with 10 runs and 12 RBI.
