Pallante (3-2) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits over 7.1 innings in a 4-2 victory over the Nationals. He struck out seven without walking a batter.

In his longest outing of the season, Pallante took a shutout into the eighth inning before Dylan Crews connected on a two-run homer. The right-hander fired 61 of 91 pitches for strikes in his first win in nearly a month, and he'll take a 4.36 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 28:16 K:BB through 43.1 innings into his next start, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Kansas City.

Kolek (2-0) earned the win against Colorado on Saturday, tossing a nine-inning complete game shutout during which he allowed five hits and two walks while striking out seven batters.

The Rockies are now 6-33 on the season, so Kolek's competition wasn't the stiffest, but this was nonetheless a very impressive performance by the former reliever in his second career MLB start. The right-hander was efficient enough (he tossed 104 total pitches) to go the distance while San Diego's offense supported him with a massive 21-run outburst at Coors Field. Kolek began the season in the minors but has shined since being called up May 4, tossing 14.1 scoreless frames with an 11:4 K:BB across two starts. He appears to have locked himself into a rotation spot with the Padres, and his next start is lined up to be a matchup at home against Seattle next week.

Cabrera did not factor into Saturday's decision against the White Sox, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings.

Cabrera got off to a shaky start after yielding a solo home run to Andrew Vaughn in the first inning. Cabrera was able to recover and kept the White Sox off the board for the next four frames, tossing 85 pitches (55 strikes). It was the least amount of hits and runs allowed across his six starts this season, though he still has a 5.52 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 26:13 K:BB across 29.1 innings. Cabrera is lineup to face Tampa Bay at home next weekend.

Singer did not factor into the decision against the Astros on Saturday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out one batter across 2.1 innings.

It took some time for Singer to take the mound Saturday after the Reds racked up 10 runs in the top of the first inning. However, that commanding lead was short lived as he proceeded to yield six runs in the third frame, highlighted by a Victor Caratini two-run homer that led to Singer being lifted for Lyon Richardson. It ended Singer's streak of six-inning outings at three, and his ERA ballooned from 3.66 to 4.97. He's slated to face the Guardians at home next weekend, when he'll look to get back in the win column.

Megill (3-3) pitched 4.2 innings in a loss against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven batters.

Megill continues to rack up punchouts -- he's now struck out at least six batters in each of his past four starts -- but he otherwise struggled to contain Chicago's top-scoring offense. The right-hander fell behind by two runs after the first half-inning, and he gave up a single run in each of the third and fourth frames, with the final one coming on a Dansby Swanson solo homer. Megill began the campaign by allowing no more than two earned runs in each of his first five starts, but he's faded a bit of late, yielding three or more runs in each of his past three outings. That's pushed his season ERA up to a still-solid 3.10.

Horton (1-0) nabbed the win over the Mets on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks while striking out five batters over four innings.

Horton was called up from Triple-A Iowa earlier in the day and served as a bulk reliever for the Cubs behind opener Brad Keller. The performance was a mixed bag for Horton -- he gave up a three-run homer to Brett Baty but was otherwise pretty effective, notching nine whiffs on 77 pitches and fanning five batters in four frames. That was enough for him to get credit for the win in his MLB debut, and the right-hander will likely get additional opportunities while Shota Imanaga (hamstring) is on the 15-day IL. It's unclear if Horton will pitch behind an opener again his next time out, but regardless he's tentatively lined up for a juicy cross-town matchup against the White Sox next week.

Webb (4-3) was handed the loss against Minnesota on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over seven innings.

Webb pitched very well Saturday, racking up 10 whiffs and nine punchouts while holding the Twins to a two-run Trevor Larnach homer. However, opposing starter Joe Ryan and three relievers limited San Francisco to just one run, saddling Webb with his third loss in his past five starts. Despite the final outcome, the performance continued a recent strong stretch for Webb -- he's now notched four quality starts across his past five appearances. Fantasy managers who roster the right-hander should also be pleased with his punchout totals this season; after logging a K/9 no higher than 8.1 in each of his previous three campaigns, Webb in on track for a career-best mark with a 10.6 K/9 so far this season.

May (1-3) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out five over 6.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.

May earned his third quality start of the season with his longest outing in 2025, but he didn't get any run support. The Dodgers managed just seven baserunners in the contest and couldn't scrape together a run, leaving May to take his second loss in a row. He's allowed 16 runs over 22.2 innings across his last four outings to spoil a strong start to the campaign. Overall, the right-hander has a 4.08 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 33:15 K:BB across 39.2 innings through seven starts. May's start next week will be at home, either against the Athletics or the Angels, depending on how the Dodgers align their rotation after Roki Sasaki struggled Friday in his first taste of pitching on five days' rest.

Suarez (1-0) earned the win against the Guardians on Saturday, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out five over seven scoreless innings.

Suarez was incredibly efficient, needing just 82 pitches to complete seven innings while generating 11 swinging strikes. It was an encouraging rebound after the southpaw yielded seven runs in his return from the injured list Sunday. He'll carry a 5.91 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB across 10.2 innings into a home matchup with the Pirates next weekend.

Ryan (elbow) has resumed throwing off a mound but hasn't yet progressed to full bullpen sessions, per MLB.com.

Ryan is making gradual progress from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last August. A return to the big-league roster near the end of the regular season is a possibility if Ryan continues to proceed without any setbacks, but it's not a guarantee that he'll pitch for the Dodgers this season given the nature of his procedure.
