Kelly gave up five runs (four earned) on six hits and a walk with four strikeouts in six innings Saturday versus Milwaukee. He did not factor in the decision.

He gave up three runs in the fourth inning and then a two-run home run in the sixth. Kelly has had a mediocre season with a 5.12 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 62:19 K:BB across 70.1 innings. His record remains a poor 2-6 heading into his next start, tentatively scheduled for next weekend's series versus the Angels.

Woodruff allowed two runs on six hits and a walk with nine strikeouts over five innings versus Arizona on Saturday. He did not factor in the decision.

Woodruff was in line for the win when he exited the game, but Brent Suter allowed three runs in the seventh inning to tie the game. It was still a solid effort from Woodruff. The right-hander has been excellent this year with a 1.42 ERA, 0.74 WHIP and 92:17 K:BB across 76 innings. He'll look to be a bit more efficient versus Pittsburgh in next weekend's series.

Gray was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right flexor strain Saturday.

Gray left Friday's start against Oakland with a forearm/elbow issue, and he's been diagnosed with a flexor strain after further testing. It's not yet clear when he'll be cleared to return to game action. Chi Chi Gonzalez will serve as a starter while the right-hander is sidelined.

Kim (back) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Kim left Friday's start against the Reds due to lower back tightness, and the issue is similar to the one that forced him to miss time earlier in the season. Although manager Mike Shildt is optimistic that the southpaw's current injury isn't as severe as his previous issue, it's not yet clear when he'll be cleared to return.

Lucchesi (1-4) was tagged with the loss Friday against the Padres after giving up one run on four hits while fanning three across 4.2 innings.

Lucchesi didn't have a bad performance and only allowed a run via a solo home run from Manny Machado, but he was outdueled by Blake Snell, who delivered his best start of the season. Lucchesi, who owns a 5.79 ERA on the season, will have an opportunity at revenge next week since his next start will be against the Padres once again, though this time it'll be at home.

Snell (2-2) earned the win Friday against the Mets after tossing seven scoreless innings, allowing one hit and walking one while striking out 10.

Snell has fanned seven or more in four of his last five outings and has recorded two double-digit strikeout games in that stretch, but this was his best game of the season by a wide margin, especially since he had given up 12 earned runs across 6.2 innings over his previous two appearances. The left-hander saw his ERA decrease to 4.83. While he's lacked consistency all season long, this outing should be a massive confidence booster for him. His next start is scheduled for next week on the road against the Mets once again.

Garrett is on turn at Triple-A Jacksonville to pitch Wednesday if Cody Poteet (knee) misses his next start, Jordan McPherson of The Miami Herald reports.

Poteet left's Friday's game with what was diagnosed as an MCL sprain, but as of early Saturday, Poteet hadn't been ruled out for his next outing. If he is forced to miss time, Garrett is in position to replace him, particularly with Daniel Castano likely filling in for Elieser Hernandez (quadriceps) on Tuesday. Garrett gave up three runs over three innings against the Dodgers on May 15 in his season debut for the Marlins, but the 23-year-old's posted a 1.69 ERA and 17:4 K:BB over his last three starts (16 innings) at Triple-A.

Carrasco (hamstring) has resumed throwing bullpen sessions, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Carrasco still doesn't have a clear timetable for his return, and the Mets' focus right now is on the right-hander strengthening his hamstring. "We want to get him to the point where there's no setback, nothing that can get in his way," manager Luis Rojas said. "We've checked out his hamstring and there's still some strengthening to do so there's nothing that stops him or holds him or creates another injury down the road." Until that process is completed to the team's satisfaction, Carrasco won't begin a new rehab assignment. The right-hander had built up to six innings in simulated games in early May before being shut down again, but he'll need to begin the process of getting stretched out over again once he's finally cleared to face hitters.

Anderson (4-3) took the loss Friday as Atlanta fell 9-5 to the Dodgers, giving up four runs on one hit and three walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out six.

The young right-hander blanked Los Angeles for four innings before things unraveled in the fifth, as Anderson and the Atlanta bullpen issued five of their eight free passes on the night as part of an eight-run frame. It's the second straight outing in which he's failed to complete five innings, and Anderson will carry a 3.64 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 65:25 K:BB through 59.1 IP into his next start.

Urias (8-2) picked up the win Friday in a 9-5 victory over Atlanta, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.

A Freddie Freeman solo shot in the first inning was the only blemish on Urias' line. The southpaw tossed 83 pitches (53 strikes) before exiting, and he'll take a 3.48 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 80:11 K:BB through 72.1 innings into his next start.
