  • Michael King SP | SD

    Padres' Michael King: Falters late in loss

    King (4-4) took the loss against the Nationals on Saturday, allowing five runs on five hits and one walk with two strikeouts over six innings.

    King allowed just one run through six innings before failing to record an out and being charged with four more in the seventh. The 31-year-old has now surrendered at least four earned runs in each of his last two outings while suffering consecutive losses for the first time this season. He still owns a solid 3.04 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 65:29 K:BB across 68 innings and will look to get back on track in a home matchup against the Mets next weekend.

  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Stalled in throwing progression

    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts relayed Saturday that Glasnow (back) "hasn't gotten over the hump" to increase his throwing progression beyond playing catch, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Glasnow landed on the 15-day injured list in early May due to lower-back spasms. He progressed enough in his recovery to resume throwing Monday, but Roberts noted Saturday that Glasnow has been unable to "let it rip" to this point. The Dodgers will have a better sense of Glasnow's recovery timeline once he's cleared to throw off the mound.

  • Ryan Feltner SP | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Activated ahead of start

    The Rockies reinstated Feltner (elbow) from the injured list ahead of his start Saturday against the Giants.

    Feltner will return to a big-league mound for the first time since landing on the injured list more than a month ago with right ulnar nerve inflammation. He made a pair of rehab starts before coming off the IL, allowing just one earned run while striking out nine batters in 8.2 total innings between Double-A and Triple-A. He'll now be tasked with limiting a surging Giants offense that's posted a .762 OPS over its last 10 games. Welinton Herrera (elbow) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

  • Ryan Feltner SP | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Set to return Saturday

    Feltner (elbow) is expected to start Saturday's game against the Giants, MLB.com reports.

    Feltner has been sidelined since April 24 but is ready to return after making two rehab appearances. He worked five innings in his last outing with Triple-A Albuquerque, so he should be able to handle a relatively normal workload. The Rockies will still need to activate Feltner before Saturday's contest to make the move official.

  • Padres' Lucas Giolito: Gets early hook Friday

    Giolito came away with a no-decision in Friday's 7-5 win over the Nationals, surrendering four runs on five hits and four walks over 2.2 innings. He struck out one.

    Facing the team he made his big-league debut with back in 2016, Giolito struggled right from the jump, serving up homers to Curtis Mead in the first inning and Keibert Ruiz in the second before getting lifted after 77 pitches (41 strikes). Giolito won his first two starts of the year after not signing with the Padres until late April, but through his first 12.2 innings in 2026 he's stumbled to a 4.97 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 6:12 K:BB. The veteran righty will try to rebound in his next outing, which is set to come on the road next week in Philadelphia.

  • Jared Jones SP | PIT

    Pirates' Jared Jones: Not sharp in return from IL

    Jones didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 6-5 win over the Twins, coughing up five runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.1 innings. He struck out six.

    Making his first big-league start since undergoing Tommy John surgery in May of last year, Jones tossed 53 of 77 pitches for strikes but got hit hard when he was in the strike zone, serving up long balls to Kody Clemens in the first inning and Trevor Larnach in the third. The right-hander was headed for the loss until Bryan Reynolds walked it off with a homer of his own in the bottom of the ninth. Jones has plenty of upside, but he'll be a risky fantasy option while he shakes off the rust and works to regain his pre-injury form. He lines up to make his next start on the road next week in Houston.

  • Chris Paddack SP | CIN

    Reds' Chris Paddack: Remains winless

    Paddack (0-7) took the loss Friday, giving up four runs on seven hits and three walks over five innings as the Reds fell 8-3 to Atlanta. He failed to strike out a batter.

    The veteran right-hander is 0-2 with Cincinnati after an 0-5 start to the year with Miami. Paddack tossed 52 of 86 pitches for strikes Friday before exiting, and since being picked up to patch a hole at the back of the Reds' rotation, he's managed a 5.40 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 8:7 K:BB in 15 innings over three starts. Rhett Lowder (shoulder) is set to begin a rehab assignment next week and may only need one outing before coming off the IL, but that still leaves Paddack to handle at least one more start, which is set to come at home next week against the Royals.

  • Grant Holmes SP | ATL

    Braves' Grant Holmes: Early exit in no-decision

    Holmes didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 8-3 win over the Reds, giving up three runs on seven hits and a walk over 4.2 innings. He struck out five.

    The right-hander got handed a 4-0 lead before he took the mound for the bottom of the second inning, but Holmes wasn't efficient enough to stick around and collect the win, getting lifted after 80 pitches (52 strikes) with the tying runner on base for Cincy. Holmes put together a bumpy May, going 1-1 in five starts with a 4.38 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 28:11 K:BB over 24.2 innings. He'll try to tighten things up in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next week against the Blue Jays.

  • Corbin Burnes SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes: Faces live hitter

    Burnes (elbow) threw to a hitter Friday for the first time post-surgery, MLB.com reports.

    The rehabbing Burnes faced the rehabbing Jordan Lawlar (wrist), marking the first time either player has faced a live opponent during their respective recoveries. Next up for Burnes is another batting practice session Tuesday. The right-hander is expected to return midseason, likely following the All-Star break.

  • Zac Gallen SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen: Yields three homers Friday

    Gallen allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Friday.

    Gallen has been falling victim to the long ball more often lately with eight homers surrendered over his last five starts. The Mariners's J.P. Crawford had two of the homers while Julio Rodriguez swatted the other. May was an inconsistent month for Gallen -- he allowed four or more runs in four of his six starts. He's now at a 5.16 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 42:18 K:BB through 59.1 innings over 12 starts this season. The veteran right-hander's homer problems led to career-worst numbers in 2025, and he's trending in the wrong direction lately. Gallen is projected to make his next start at home in a tough matchup versus the Dodgers.
