Corbin (5-6) allowed three runs on five hits over six innings in a loss to Miami on Saturday. He struck out six.

Corbin was touched up for a pair of runs in the second inning and gave up a Jon Berti home run in the fifth. He did enough to pick up a quality start, and it was his first outing without issuing a walk since mid-May. Corbin now owns a 5.33 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with a 68:28 K:BB over 82.2 innings this season.

Carrasco (hamstring) threw a light bullpen session Saturday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

Carrasco had been throwing off flat ground in the outfield recently, but he threw off the edge of the mound during Saturday's throwing session. While the right-hander didn't throw off a full slope Saturday, he's now starting a progression once again after his throwing program was paused in mid-June.

Stroman (hip) could start Sunday's game against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Stroman has been dealing with left hip soreness since Tuesday, but he had an MRI that came back clean Wednesday and could start on normal rest Sunday. The right-hander will throw Saturday before the team determines his status for Sunday's series finale. If Stroman doesn't start, Jerad Eickhoff would likely take the mound.

Mikolas (forearm) expects to advance to bullpen sessions by the All-Star break, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Mikolas missed all of April and most of May with a shoulder injury and was shut down with a forearm issue after just one start. He still has a while left to go in his recovery but has plenty of time to return at some point this season. He's hoping to begin a rehab assignment in late July or early August.

Woodford (1-1) took the loss in a defeat at the hands of the Pirates on Friday, allowing an earned run on a hit and a walk while failing to record an out in the fifth inning.

Woodford entered with one out in the fifth and the score knotted at 4-4, and he ultimately allowed an RBI single to Jacob Stallings that made him the pitcher of record. The right-hander has been particularly hittable of late, giving up an earned run in five of his last six appearances. He has seen his ERA balloon from 3.18 to 4.24 during that span.

Soroka suffered a complete re-tear of his Achilles tendon Thursday and will require season-ending surgery.

Soroka felt a pop in his right Achilles while walking to the clubhouse Thursday, and an MRI revealed that he will miss the rest of the current campaign. The right-hander underwent surgery on his Achilles tendon in late May, but he had resumed throwing exercises before aggravating the injury. A timetable for Soroka's return will be established after he undergoes surgery next week, but he could be sidelined until July of 2022, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Gonsolin allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out seven over four innings Friday against the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision and walked in his only plate appearance of the evening.

Gonsolin had his best outing of the season in his fourth start since returning from the injured list. The only hit he allowed was a first-inning solo home run off the bat of Kris Bryant. He would then work around two walks to pitch three more scoreless innings. The 27-year-old tossed 69 pitches over a season-high four frames and also struck out a season-high seven batters, six of which came from his splitter. Gonsolin now owns a 2.77 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 18:10 K:BB over 13 innings and lines up to face the Nationals next week.

Gutierrez (3-2) took the loss Friday, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks over six-plus innings as the Reds fell 3-2 to Atlanta. He struck out four.

Solo homers by Dansby Swanson and Guillermo Heredia in the sixth and seventh innings were the difference in the game. Gutierrez has three quality starts in six trips to the mound since being added to the big-league rotation and hasn't yet failed to last at least five innings, and he'll carry a 3.97 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 27:16 K:BB through 34 innings into his next outing.

Smyly (5-3) picked up the win in Friday's 3-2 victory over the Reds, allowing one run one six hits over six innings. He struck out three without walking a batter.

The veteran lefty held Cincinnati off the board until the sixth inning and exited after tossing 54 of his 84 pitches for strikes. It was Smyly's first quality start since May 20 and his fifth of the year, and he'll take a 4.79 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 57:23 K:BB through 67.2 innings into his next outing.

Paddack allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out two batters in 2.1 innings Friday against the Diamondbacks. He did not end up factoring into the decision.

Paddack was a complete no-show Friday after his last two starts combined yielded just four runs while he struck out 20 batters. He had a clean opening inning but allowed three runs in the second after allowing a bases-loaded single and then a double before finally getting out of trouble. He couldn't escape the third after allowing four consecutive hits, which amounted to two more runs for the Diamondbacks. It was undoubtedly a very rough outing for the 25-year-old righty, as his ERA shot up to a 4.68. He'll look to turn things around in his next start, which is currently scheduled to be against the Reds next week.
