Bido allowed two runs on nine hits and struck out five batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Miami on Saturday.

Bido and Bryan Hoeing engaged in a scoreless pitchers' duel through four innings until the former surrendered a two-run homer to Luis Arraez in the fifth. Bido bounced back from the long ball to retire five more batters before he was lifted with two outs and two on in the sixth. The right-hander has been solid through three major-league outings, allowing six runs and posting an 18:5 K:BB over 15.2 frames. Bido appears to have a steady spot in the rotation and could hold onto it for the foreseeable future if he continues to pitch effectively.

Wainwright (3-2) allowed seven runs on 11 hits and a walk without recording a strikeout over three-plus innings, taking the loss in Saturday's London Series game versus the Cubs.

Wainwright gave up a pair of solo home runs to Ian Happ, and the rest of the Cubs' lineup presented plenty of challenges too. Wainwright hadn't pitched fewer than five innings in any of his first eight starts this year, but this will be one to forget for the veteran. He's struggled to a 6.56 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 24:14 K:BB through 46.2 innings. His next start will likely come at home, though with Jack Flaherty (hip) questionable, it's unclear if Wainwright will face the Astros or the Yankees.

Anderson (0-2) allowed nine runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out one over 2.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Angels.

Anderson gave up two runs through the first two innings, but he was responsible for seven of the 13 runs the Angels put up in the third. At one point, he gave up home runs on three straight pitches. After allowing just three runs over 20.2 innings in May, Anderson has unraveled in June. His ERA is now at 5.79 with a 1.45 WHIP and 28:14 K:BB through 42 innings between the Rockies and the Rays this season. With few better healthy options available, Colorado may have to let Anderson work through his slump. It's not going to get any easier if he makes his projected start at home versus the Dodgers next week.

Ashcraft (3-6) took the loss against Atlanta on Saturday, allowing six runs on 10 hits and striking out two batters over four-plus innings.

Ashcraft faced a tough test in his return from a stint on the injured list due to a calf injury, and he was unable to contain Atlanta's potent offense. The right-hander served up a season-high three homers and yielded 10 total hits for the third time this year. Ashcraft hasn't pitched more than four innings in any of his three starts in June, giving up 19 earned runs in 10.2 frames during the month. His ERA now sits at an ugly 7.17 on the campaign.

Peralta (5-7) took the loss Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over five innings against the Guardians. He struck out five.

Peralta picked up his seventh loss of the campaign, marking six starts since recording his last victory. Though he owns the seventh-most losses in MLB, Peralta has given up more than four earned runs in just two of his 16 starts thus far. After 81.1 innings, Peralta holds a 4.65 ERA and 1.33 WHIP to go along with a 1.5 HR/9 and a 2.7 K/BB. He'll have a solid chance to pick up a win in his next start, which is expected to come against a Mets team that has lost 14 of its last 19 contests.

Shuster allowed four runs on seven hits and struck out two batters over 3.2 innings in a no-decision against Cincinnati on Saturday.

Shuster got through a scoreless first inning but yielded at least one run in each of the remaining frames in which he pitched. The rookie southpaw was dinged for multiple homers for the first time as a big-leaguer and tallied a career-low 3.2 innings. Shuster also continued to struggle in the strikeout column -- he's fanned two or fewer batters in each of his past four starts. Though Shuster has shown some flashes in his first MLB campaign, he's not much of an asset in redraft leagues given his poor 25:22 K:BB and 5.00 ERA over 45 innings.

Waldron (0-1) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two over 4.2 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Nationals.

Waldron held his own in his big-league debut, but two of the four hits he allowed were solo home runs to Jeimer Candelario and Lane Thomas. It's unclear if this will lead to additional starts for Waldron, who is the only knuckleballer active in the majors. He pitched to a 7.02 ERA with Triple-A El Paso. If he doesn't get another start, Waldron will likely be back in the minors in the near future.

Gray (5-6) allowed four hits and four walks while striking out six over 5.1 shutout innings to earn the win Saturday over the Padres.

Gray had allowed four or more runs in three of his last four outings. He didn't have his best stuff Saturday, throwing 58 of 99 pitches for strikes, but he successfully limited the damage to earn his first win since May 21. The 25-year-old right-hander has a lofty 4.2 BB/9, but he's been able to counter that fairly well with a 3.43 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 78:42 K:BB over 89.1 innings through 16 starts this year. Gray is projected for another road start next week in Philadelphia.

Stoudt will start Sunday against Atlanta, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Stoudt will be recalled from Triple-A Louisville to pitch against Atlanta in the series finale. The right-hander has been ineffective in his two appearances with Cincinnati thus far in 2023 with a 10.29 ERA and 2.14 WHIP over seven innings. Stoudt could make multiple appearances for the Reds due to injuries, but there's as much risk as there is reward -- if not more -- in his profile for 2023.

The Padres selected Waldron's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday ahead of his start against Washington.

The 26-year-old knuckleballer hasn't exactly been outstanding in Triple-A this season with a 7.02 ERA and 1.65 WHIP, but his unique arsenal of pitches could be enough to throw big-league hitters off their game a bit. Ray Kerr was optioned to El Paso in a corresponding move.
