Trevino went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs during the Reds' 10-3 loss to the Rockies on Saturday.

The Reds could not match the offensive output of the Rockies on Saturday, but Trevino did his part with solo homers in both the third and fifth innings. It was the first multi-homer game of the season for the veteran catcher and the third of his major-league career, with the last instance taking place May 12, 2024 against the Rays while playing for the Yankees. Trevino has a .715 OPS with three home runs and 10 RBI across 74 plate appearances this season.

Lowder (3-7) took the loss against the Rockies on Saturday, allowing eight runs on 11 hits while striking out two across 2.1 innings. He did not issue a walk.

Lowder was briefly shifted to the bullpen in early July, but coming out of the All-Star break, he was back in the rotation after Nick Lodolo (finger) was placed on the 15-day injured list this past Sunday. Lowder got off to a rough start to the second half of the season, giving up at least two runs in each of the three frames he pitched. The eight runs and 11 hits he surrendered Saturday both matched career highs set earlier in the year, and Lowder sits at a 5.75 ERA and 1.64 WHIP across 72 innings this season. Assuming he gets another turn in the rotation, Lowder is lined up to face the Cardinals on the road next weekend.

Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that a specialist determined that Judge (ribs) is not yet ready to resume baseball activities, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Judge is reportedly feeling significantly less pain now that he's more than a month removed from suffering a stress fracture of the first rib on his right side, but he hasn't shown enough signs of healing to be cleared to ramp up just yet. A timeline for his return will remain foggy until he gets the green light to resume activity, though it's likely safe to assume he'll spend at least a few more weeks on the injured list.

Walker was removed from Saturday's game against the Orioles with an apparent injury, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Walker was grabbing at his right side after taking a swing in the fourth inning and had to be removed from the game before he could finish his at-bat. The Astros will presumably send him in for imaging to determine what exactly he's dealing with, and an update on his status should come in the near future.

Weathers and the Yankees won't face the Dodgers on Saturday since the game was postponed due to rain.

Saturday's contest will be made up as part of a doubleheader Sunday, and Weathers will presumably start one of the two games. The 26-year-old southpaw currently holds a 4.15 ERA through his first 18 starts with the Pinstripes, but he's given up two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five outings.

Sheehan and the Dodgers won't face the Yankees on Saturday since the game was postponed due to rain.

The two teams will make up Saturday's contest with a doubleheader Sunday, and it's likely that Sheehan will get the nod to start one of the two games. The 26-year-old has struggled overall this year to the tune of a 4.81 ERA through 82.1 innings, though he's coughed up just five runs (four earned) while striking out 17 batters in 14.2 frames across his last three starts.

Pena was removed from Saturday's game against the Orioles due to an apparent leg injury, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Pena was visited by one of the Astros' trainers after taking a swing in the third inning, and he appeared to be having problems with his right leg. He was able to stay in and complete the at-bat but was replaced on defense to begin the fourth. The specifics of the injury remain unknown, but the Astros may offer an update in the near future.

Hancock (hand) is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Reds, Tim Booth of The Seattle Times reports.

Hancock exited his final start before the All-Star break Sunday after getting hit on the hand by a comebacker. X-rays came back negative after the game, and now that he's had extra time to recover thanks to the midseason break and a move to the back of the rotation, he'll be able to make his next start without having to spend time on the IL. The 27-year-old righty currently boasts a 3.17 ERA and 1.01 WHIP for the season and has conceded just one run in his last 14.1 innings.

Bradish agreed to terms on a five-year, $90 million contract extension with the Orioles on Saturday.

Bradish's new deal will buy out his two remaining years of arbitration as well as three years of free agency, ensuring the Orioles retain their ace through the 2031 campaign. The 29-year-old righty missed significant time in 2024 and '25 due to Tommy John surgery but has been fully healthy this year and sports a 3.61 ERA and 1.35 WHIP alongside a 106:50 K:BB through 107.1 innings.

Montgomery will serve as the opening pitcher in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against Cleveland, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Montgomery will receive his fifth opening assignment of the season after giving up just two earned runs over 8.1 innings across his last nine outings. The 26-year-old southpaw has never completed two full innings in an appearance this season, so he'll likely secure just the first three outs of the game before turning things over to the Pirates' bullpen.
