Hill (6-5) took the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers. He allowed three runs on six hits and struck out two in five innings.

This was the 41-year-old's first loss as a Met. All three runs Hill allowed came on solo home runs. It marks the second time in his last five starts that Hill's allowed multiple homers, although he kept the ball in the yard in the other three outings. For the year, he owns a 4.13 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 107:43 K:BB across 122 innings. The southpaw lines up for a home start versus Washington during next weekend's three-game series.

Lorenzen allowed two hits and struck out one over 1.2 innings of scoreless work, picking up the save in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Marlins.

Lorenzen inherited a tricky two-on, one-out situation in the eighth inning with the Reds up by three Saturday night. Although he allowed one of his inherited runners to score, he induced a double play ball from Bryan De La Cruz to escape the jam. He benefitted from another double play in the ninth to pick up his second save of the season. After returning from a hamstring injury July 30, the right-hander has yet to allow an earned run in 10 outings. If he can remain healthy, he's likely to work in some of the Reds' high-leverage situations alongside Mychal Givens.

Lauer didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 9-6 win over the Nationals, giving up three runs on five hits and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

The left-hander gave up two runs in the top of the first inning before exiting the game in the fifth after 76 pitches (52 strikes) on the hook for his fifth loss of the season, but Milwaukee's offense bailed Lauer out with three runs in the bottom of the frame. The 26-year-old will take a 3.59 ERA and 76:29 K:BB through 77.2 innings into his next outing.

Miley allowed two runs on five hits and three walks with three strikeouts through 4.2 innings, taking a no-decision in Saturday's 7-4 win over the Marlins.

Miley cruised through his first four innings of work Saturday but ran into command issues in the fifth that ultimately cost him a chance to go deeper into the game. With two on and two out, Miley walked Miguel Rojas to load the bases. He then hit Jazz Chisholm to plate a run and followed that up by issuing a free pass to Jesus Aguilar on five pitches to score another. With the bases still loaded, manager David Bell opted to go to the bullpen. After an injury-plagued 2020 and a heavy workload in 2021, the 34-year-old's control has started to slip. In his last nine starts (56 innings), the southpaw has walked 23 batters. He walked just 22 opposing hitters in his first 14 starts (81.2 innings) of the season.

Kershaw (forearm) threw from 120 feet Saturday and may get back on the mound next week, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Manager Dave Roberts said the veteran lefty was "letting it rip" with his 120-foot throws. Once he throws from the mound, Kershaw will progress to facing live hitters and ultimately a rehab assignment before rejoining the Dodgers. Early-to-mid September remains a realistic expectation for his return, although updates in the next week or so should add some clarity to his rehab timeline.

Paddack (oblique) threw 25 pitches in an "intensive" bullpen session Friday, per MLB.com.

The right-hander pitched off the front slope of the mound Wednesday, then progressed to a full bullpen Friday. He included all of his pitch offerings during the session and is slated for another bullpen or a simulated game Sunday. Should that go well, Paddack could return during the Padres' next road trip, which begins Friday against the Angels.

Snell (6-5) was tagged with the loss Friday against the Phillies after allowing three runs on two hits and two walks across five innings, striking out nine.

Snell has recorded at least six strikeouts in each of his last four appearances and has notched at least nine punchouts in four starts throughout the year, but that wasn't enough to get the win here. Even though Snell has pitched more than five innings just once in four starts this month, he hasn't allowed more than three runs in any of those outings and owns a 2.45 ERA across 22 innings in that stretch.

Buehler (13-2) earned the win Friday against the Mets after tossing 7.2 innings of two-run ball, giving up six hits while striking out eight.

Buehler allowed a homer to Pete Alonso and an RBI single in the eighth, but he was excellent the rest of the way and delivered another strong showing. He's now fanned at least eight in all but one of his last seven starts and has also allowed two or fewer runs in eight appearances in a row. He owns an excellent 2.11 ERA on the season.

Carrasco (0-2) was tagged with the loss Friday against the Dodgers after allowing three runs on five hits and a walk while fanning six across five innings.

Carrasco completed five innings for the first time this season and posted a season-high six strikeouts. However, it can't be ignored that Carrasco has now given up at least three runs in three straight games. The veteran hurler owns a dismal 8.82 ERA across five starts this season.

Wood (10-4) was tagged with the loss Friday against Oakland after allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while fanning nine across five innings.

Wood limited the damage to just two runs, and he has given up exactly that amount in each of his last two starts, but he hasn't been pitching as well as he did earlier on the season. He has a 5.74 ERA over his last five appearances, even with home matchups against Arizona and Colorado sprinkled in there. His strong performances at the beginning of the year still show in his overall numbers, however; he still owns a 4.11 ERA, right around average for pitchers in the National League.
