Holmes allowed six runs on five hits and three walks while striking out four over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus Arizona on Saturday.

Holmes allowed three of the four homers Eugenio Suarez swatted in the 19th four-homer performance in major-league history. Luckily for Holmes, he did a somewhat decent job of keeping Arizona off base -- two of Suarez's homers off him were solo shots. Prior to Saturday, Holmes hadn't dealt with too much trouble keeping the ball down with two long balls allowed, but he has walked three or more batters in four of his five starts this season. The 29-year-old right-hander is now at a 4.50 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 26:17 K:BB across 28 innings over six appearances in 2025. Holmes' spot in the rotation looks safe for now, as Atlanta is missing Spencer Strider (hamstring) and Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder). However, Holmes is a risky fantasy option in his next projected start, which is lined up to be at home versus the Dodgers.

Kelly allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four over six innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Saturday.

Kelly gave up solo shots to Marcell Ozuna in the first inning and Sean Murphy in the second. He settled in after that and left in line for the win before Jalen Beeks blew the lead by allowing three runs in the eighth. This was Kelly's third quality start of the season, and he came up just one out short of that achievement in his previous outing, which was cut short by a minor leg injury. The right-hander is now at a 4.41 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 25:12 K:BB across 32.2 innings over six starts this season. The walk rate is a little elevated, but nothing is too far out of line with his career norms. Kelly's next start is projected to be at Philadelphia.

Brown (2-2) took the loss against the Phillies on Saturday, allowing six runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out five across 3.2 innings.

Brown went through the first three frames with relative ease but got rocked in the fourth inning, allowing a base runner in five straight at-bats and giving up six runs before being lifted for Drew Pomeranz. Brown has yielded at least five runs in two of his last four outings and has allowed 34 hits through 25.1 innings, which is fifth most among qualified starters in the National League. He'll look to rebound in his next start, tentatively slated for next weekend on the road against Milwaukee, assuming he sticks in the rotation.

Luzardo (3-0) earned the win in Saturday's game against the Cubs. He allowed two runs (none earned) on three hits and three walks while striking out five in six innings.

Luzardo gave up two runs on a Seiya Suzuki single in the fifth inning, but neither of them were earned due to a fielding error by Trea Turner. Luzardo allowed one baserunner or no in the other five innings he worked, generating 15 whiffs in 102 pitches (64 strikes) for his fourth quality start of the season. His 1.73 ERA and 41 strikeouts are both tied for sixth best in the National League among qualified starters. Luzardo slated to face the Diamondbacks at home next weekend.

Greene (3-2) earned the win Saturday against the Rockies, allowing three runs on seven hits over six innings. He struck out eight without issuing a walk.

After taking a drubbing against the Orioles in his last start, the Cincinnati ace looked much sharper in this 98-pitch performance, generating an incredible 20 whiffs. The long ball bit Greene again, as all three Colorado runs were scored on homers by Michael Toglia and Adael Amador. Greene now sports a 2.70 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 43:6 K:BB over 36.2 innings, and he is scheduled to make his next start at home against the Cardinals.

Senzatela (1-4) took the loss Saturday against the Reds, allowing four runs on eight hits and no walks over five innings. He struck out four.

The Colorado right-hander yielded a season-worst three homers, as he allowed four or more runs for the third time in his four starts. Senzatela remains a bottom-of-the-barrel fantasy option, sporting an unsightly 5.22 ERA, 1.87 WHIP 13:5 K:BB across 29.1 innings. He has allowed an MLB-worst 50 hits this season. Senzatela is currently slated to make his next start against the Giants on the road next weekend.

Priester did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out two.

The Milwaukee right-hander was in line for the loss before Jackson Chourio bailed him out with a game-tying homer in the ninth. Priester allowed a season-worst eight base knocks as the St. Louis lineup peppered him with runs in the second, third and fourth innings. After looking sharp with a 0.90 ERA in 10 innings over his first two starts, Priester has regressed in his last two outings, allowing seven runs across nine innings. The 24-year-old currently lines up to face the high-powered Cubs offense at home next weekend.

Gray picked up a no-decision in Saturday's 6-5 win over Milwaukee, allowing three runs on seven hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out four.

Despite not having his sharpest stuff, the veteran right-hander bagged his third consecutive quality start in this 91-pitch outing. Gray worked around seven hits and three walks, both of which marked season worsts for the 35-year-old. He has pitched to a 3.60 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 33:7 K:BB across 35 innings this season. Gray currently lines up to make his next start against the Mets at home next weekend.

The Pirates optioned Burrows to Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday, Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

The move makes room on the 26-man roster for the reinstatement of Colin Holderman (knee) from the 15-day injured list. Burrows was brought up to the majors April 24, but did not appear in a game for the Pirates. He's made three starts in Triple-A, posting a 4.38 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 11-5 K:BB across 12.1 innings.

Ray allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out eight over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Saturday.

Both runs allowed came on sacrifice flies by Jake Burger over the first three innings. Ray was able to have his longest start of the year thanks to an efficient performance, which saw him throw 69 of 97 pitches for strikes. The one walk matched his season low, while the eight strikeouts equaled his season high. He's taken three straight no-decisions but still doesn't have a loss through six starts (3-0) in 2025. Ray is at a 3.73 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 33:19 K:BB over 31.1 innings. He'll look to build on this strong outing in his next start, which is projected to be at home versus the Rockies.
