Martinez (3-6) earned the win against Arizona on Saturday, allowing one run on six hits and one walk while striking out six across six innings.

Martinez yielded a solo home run to Eugenio Suarez in the second frame, and he escaped the inning without additional damage despite allowing two additional baserunners. Martinez kept the Reds batters in check the rest of the way, tossing 102 pitches (67 strikes) en route to his seventh quality start of the season. The right-hander has a 3.70 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 53:16 K:BB across 75.1 innings this season. He's tentatively lined up to start against the Tigers on the road next weekend.

Suarez (4-1) was tagged with the loss against the Pirates on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five across seven innings.

After yielding an RBI single to Andrew McCutchen in the first, Suarez kept Pittsburgh off the board over the next five innings and faced the minimum number of batters in three of those frames. However, the veteran southpaw lost the lead for the Phillies in the seventh, when he gave up a solo home run to Henry Davis, and Suarez didn't get enough run support to avoid his first loss of the season. Still, Suarez has logged a quality start in each of his last six outings and sports a 2.70 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB across 43.1 innings this season. He is tentatively slated to pitch next weekend at home against the Blue Jays.

Weathers was evaluated for a head injury after exiting Saturday's start against the Rays in the third inning, Nate Karzmer of Fish on First reports.

Weathers was seen flexing his arm and experienced diminished velocity before being pulled, so it was assumed he was dealing with an arm injury. However, he was hit in the head on a practice throw by Nick Fortes after warmup pitches in the first inning, which is apparently the primary cause for concern. The Marlins announced Weathers didn't suffer a significant injury, but it will still be worth monitoring his status leading up to his next projected start.

Weathers was removed from Saturday's start for precautionary reasons and will undergo further evaluation, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.

Weathers was removed from his start after three innings Saturday against the Rays after displaying diminished velocity while also flexing his left arm. The preliminary news is positive, with manager Clayton McCullough reporting that no major issues were uncovered during an initial evaluation, per Brian Murphy of MLB.com.

Weathers exited Saturday's start against the Rays after three innings and was seen flexing his left arm, Brian Murphy of MLB.com reports.

Murphy also reports that Weathers' velocity was down in his final inning of work. The report sounds ominous, but there has been no official word from the team.

Heaney exited Saturday's start against the Phillies with a trainer due to an unspecified injury, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

Heaney completed six innings while allowing only one earned run on four hits and no walks before being pulled. The exact nature of the injury is unclear, but he threw an errant fastball to Nick Castellanos immediately before being pulled in the middle of the at-bat.

The Diamondbacks transferred Burnes (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

The move allows the Diamondbacks to select Aramis Garcia's contract from Triple-A Reno. Burnes is set to undergo Tommy John surgery later this month, which will sideline him for the rest of the 2025 season and most, if not all, of 2026.

Dollander will start for Colorado against the Mets on Sunday.

The Rockies shifted their rotation around a bit, moving German Marquez to Saturday while tabbing Dollander to start Sunday. It's not clear when Carson Palmquist, who had originally been deemed Saturday's starter, will take his next turn, though Christian Saez of TheDNVR.com reports that the rookie isn't dealing with any sort of injury. Dollander last pitched Tuesday, so he'll be working on four days of rest Sunday.

Palmquist is no longer scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Mets, as German Marquez will instead receive the start for Colorado.

Per Christian Saez of TheDNVR.com, Palmquist isn't dealing with an injury -- instead, there was simply a miscommunication in lining up the rotation. Chase Dollander is now slated to start Sunday, so it's unclear when Palmquist will take his next turn as a starter.

Marquez will start Saturday's game against the Mets.

Carson Palmquist had originally been lined up to start, but Marquez will get the ball instead Saturday. Per Christian Saez of TheDNVR.com, the change is due to a miscommunication rather than any sort of injury. Marquez last pitched Monday, so he'll be working on four days of rest.
