Sasaki allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Wednesday.

Sasaki allowed home runs to Kyle Karros and Edouard Julien in the second inning but was otherwise effective in a baseline quality start. Entering Wednesday, Sasaki had allowed 19 runs over 17 innings across his previous four starts, so this was a significant step in the right direction. The right-hander has pitched to a 5.33 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 80:33 K:BB through 81 innings over 16 starts this season. Homers have been a noticeable issue -- he's allowed 19 so far.

Harrison said after Wednesday's loss to the Cardinals that he has been dealing with soreness on the outside of his elbow over the past few weeks, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

After quietly dealing with the injury for several outings, Harrison spoke up about his discomfort Wednesday, which explains why he was pulled after just four innings. It also indicates why his performance has begun to dip recently, as he's now turned in a 5.00 ERA across his last four starts. Despite the premature exit, the 24-year-old southpaw didn't seem to be very concerned about the issue, and he'll have plenty of time to recover before making his next start after the All-Star break.

McGreevy (4-7) got the win Wednesday against Milwaukee, allowing one run on five hits and one walk, while striking out six.

McGreevy notched an elusive win after going nine straight starts without one by allowing weak contact and striking out his most batters in a game since May (also six in that game). Overall, the right-hander has put up effective stats all season for the Cardinals, posting a 3.01 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and a 66:23 K:BB across 101.2 innings. The 26-year-old is not slated to start again until after the All-Star break.

Harrison (8-2) was tagged with the loss Wednesday against the Cardinals, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks in four innings. He struck out two.

This is the third consecutive start for Harrison in which he has failed to make it past five frames. The left-hander has covered just 11.2 innings during that span, giving up eight runs with a 14:2 K:BB, which is just a minor hiccup in his efficient first season with Milwaukee. The 24-year-old will carry a 3.01 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 83.2 innings into the All-Star Break.

Burns (11-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Phillies, allowing three runs on three hits and six walks in five innings. He struck out two.

Burns nabbed the win Wednesday but certainly didn't have his best stuff, walking a season-high six and matching a season low in punchouts. The hard-throwing right-hander was still able to hang in there for his 18th consecutive start of at least five frames to begin the year, needing a season-high 106 pitches to do so. Burns will bring a stellar 2.54 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 118:37 K:BB across 102.2 frames into the All-Star break.

Griffin (10-2) earned the win against the Astros on Wednesday, allowing one run on five hits and no walks with nine strikeouts over seven innings.

Griffin allowed a run in the fifth inning but was otherwise untouchable, generating a whopping 22 swinging strikes on 99 pitches. The 30-year-old will head into the All-Star break having allowed exactly one run in seven straight outings while recording nine strikeouts in three of his past four. He owns a 2.77 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 109:26 K:BB across 110.1 innings in what has been one of the biggest surprise campaigns of 2026.

Scott took a no-decision Wednesday against the Royals, allowing no runs on three hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out five.

Scott cooled down a Royals team that had exploded for 31 runs across their prior two games, scattering three singles over five shutout frames. The 27-year-old right-hander completed five innings for the first time since June 5 in San Diego, though he's still yet to get through six frames in any of his 12 outings on the year thus far. Scott is set to head into the All-Star break with a quality 3.17 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 65:26 K:BB across 54 innings.

Holmes did not factor into the decision Wednesday against Pittsburgh, allowing three hits and a walk across five scoreless innings. He struck out five.

Since returning to Atlanta's rotation, Holmes has given up just one earned run on eight hits across 10 frames in two starts. He's given up just two runs in his last four appearances (18.2 innings) overall. Holmes' ERA now sits at 3.61 on the season with a 1.32 WHIP and 76:39 K:BB across 87.1 innings.

Jones did not factor into the decision Wednesday against Atlanta, logging eight strikeouts across six perfect innings.

While the Pirates failed to provide Jones with any run support in an eventual 3-0 defeat, the right-hander's dominant performance certainly offered a silver lining. Jones struck out eight of the 18 batters he faced, ultimately needing 77 pitches to get through six perfect innings. The 24-year-old Jones has now allowed just five earned runs across 17.2 innings in his last four starts as he continues to work his way back from UCL surgery that sidelined him for all of 2025. Overall, his ERA sits at 4.37 with a 1.14 WHIP and 39:11 K:BB through his first eight starts (35 innings) this season.

Webb (5-7) took the loss Wednesday, giving up five runs on five hits and two walks over seven innings as the Giants got routed 10-0 by the Blue Jays. He struck out two.

All five runs crossed the plate in the first inning, most of them on a Kazuma Okamoto grand slam, but Webb shook it off and gave his team six scoreless frames after that. The veteran right-hander exited after 106 pitches (72 strikes) and has now given up 12 runs across his last two starts after posting a 0.85 ERA over his six prior outings. Webb will head into the All-Star break with a 3.86 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 80:26 K:BB through 100.1 innings.
