Dollander (2-7) took the loss Saturday, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks over six innings against Atlanta. He struck out four.

Dollander allowed plenty of baserunners but managed to complete six innings for the second time in 11 big-league starts while keeping Colorado within striking distance. Like the rest of the pitching staff, the rookie has endured significant struggles this season, posting a 6.57 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 50.2 innings.

Strider (1-5) earned the win Saturday, allowing three hits and one walk over six scoreless innings against the Rockies. He struck out 13.

​​Strider returned to form Saturday, racking up a season-high 13 strikeouts in a dominant outing. The right-hander's 2025 campaign has been challenging to say the least, as a hamstring injury derailed his return from elbow surgery. On the season, the 26-year-old owns a 4.35 ERA and 1.16 WHIP over 31 innings in six starts.

Megill (5-5) took the loss against Tampa Bay on Saturday, allowing six runs (three earned) on seven hits and two walks while striking out five batters over 3.2 innings.

Megill's final line wasn't disastrous for fantasy managers who started him since half of the six runs he allowed were unearned due to his own fielding error, but this was nonetheless an uninspiring outing by the right-hander. He actually held a 2-1 lead after three frames, but things fell apart for Megill in the fourth. In that inning, he served up a leadoff homer to Junior Caminero, then gave up three more hits, issued two walks, hit a batter and uncorked a wild pitch before being pulled with two outs and the bases loaded. Perhaps the only positive from Megill's performance is that he managed to notch five punchouts despite the short outing, reaching that mark for the ninth time over his past 10 games. Megill has posted an excellent 11.7 K/9 on the campaign, but his 3.95 ERA and 1.36 WHIP are less impressive.

Roupp (4-5) allowed six runs on four hits and five walks while failing to record a strikeout over 1.2 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers.

The five walks were a season high for Roupp, who endured his shortest outing of 2025. He needed 45 pitches (21 strikes) to get five outs Saturday. Roupp has largely done well against light-hitting offenses while struggling versus better teams, and that trend continued wtih his perfoemance in Los Angeles. He's posted a serviceable 3.99 ERA, but his 1.46 WHIP and 63:29 K:BB through 70 innings over 14 starts are more troublesome. Roupp's next start is projected to be at home versus the Red Sox.

Kershaw (2-0) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out five over seven scoreless innings to earn the win over the Giants on Saturday.

Kershaw was ultra-efficient, needing just 81 pitches (56 strikes) in this outing to deliver his longest outing of the season. He's allowed one run or less in three of his last four starts, and while the strikeout totals aren't all that high, the southpaw is still finding ways to get outs. He's now at a 3.25 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB through 27.2 innings over six starts this season. Kershaw is tentatively lined up to make his next start at home versus the Nationals, though the Dodgers' pitching plans over the next week could be altered depending on when Emmet Sheehan (elbow) is activated for his season debut.

Gallen allowed four runs on six hits and four walks while striking out six over 6.1 innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Padres.

Gallen pitched well until the seventh inning, when he allowed three of the first four batters he faced to reach base. Ryan Thompson couldn't stop the Padres' rally, which cost Gallen a chance at the win, though the Diamondbacks pieced together a comeback for a walk-off in the ninth. This was the fourth time Gallen has walked a season-high four batters, and it continues a rough stretch for him, as he's now allowed four or more runs in six of his last seven starts. He's at a 5.19 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 81:40 K:BB across 86.2 innings through 15 starts this season. His next outing is projected to be at Colorado.

Quintana (4-2) took the loss against the Cardinals on Saturday, allowing seven runs (five earned) on eight hits and three walks with four strikeouts over 4.1 innings.

Quintana was tagged for six runs across the fourth and fifth innings, failing to complete five frames for the first time this season despite throwing 101 pitches. It was the southpaw's first hiccup in three starts since returning from the injured list June 1, though he's now issued at least three walks in each of those outings. He owns a 3.35 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 35:21 K:BB across 48.1 innings and will look to bounce back in a road matchup with the Twins next weekend.

Pallante did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-5 win over the Brewers, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over 4.1 innings.

Pallante opened with three scoreless frames before allowing four runs across the fourth and fifth. The 26-year-old induced 12 whiffs on 82 pitches while limiting hard contact, but he's now failed to complete five innings in two of his last three outings. He'll take a 4.83 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 54:26 K:BB across 76.1 innings into a home matchup with the Reds next weekend.

Sanchez did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks with five strikeouts over seven innings.

Sanchez allowed two runs in the fourth inning but was otherwise excellent, throwing 68 of 98 pitches for strikes without issuing a walk for just the second time this season. The 28-year-old delivered his third straight quality start and has been remarkably consistent, allowing three earned runs or fewer in 13 of his 14 outings. He'll carry a 3.05 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 88:28 K:BB across 79.2 innings into a favorable matchup with the Marlins next week.

Verlander (pectoral) completed a bullpen session Saturday and is expected to return during the Giants' upcoming homestand, which begins Tuesday versus the Guardians, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Verlander completed a 65-pitch sim game Wednesday in what appeared to be his final test before being activated from the injured list. Saturday's activity may have been one final confirmation that he's ready to retake the big-league mound, which he appears likely to do within the next week.
