Hudson did not factor into the decision in a loss to Atlanta on Saturday, allowing five runs on three hits and four walks over 2.2 innings while striking out one.

Hudson allowed the leadoff man to reach in each of his first two innings of work but was fortunate to draw double play balls on both occasions to help him escape unscathed. Things would begin to unravel for the right-hander in the third, however, as he issued walks to three of the first five batters he faced before eventually surrendering a two-out grand slam to Matt Olson. Hudson has now issued three or more walks in each of his last three starts for Colorado (dating back to June 28) and owns an 8:13 K:BB over that stretch. He's also failed to make it through five innings in each of his last two outings, though both of those have come at Coors Field.

Fried did not factor into the decision in a win over Colorado on Saturday, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and three walks over five innings while striking out nine.

Fried struggled out of the gate, allowing at least three baserunners in each of the first three innings, leading to five runs coming across for Colorado -- though only four would be charged to the lefty due to one of the runners advancing on a passed ball. Fried did generate 12 whiffs on the night en route to recording his highest strikeout total since June 4 against the Red Sox. However, he's now allowed four or more runs in back-to-back starts since returning from the injured list and has issued at least three walks in five of his last seven outings (dating back to June 17).

Myers pitched 7.1 scoreless innings, allowing three hits and no walks while striking out nine batters, in a no-decision against Cincinnati on Saturday.

Myers and Reds starter Nick Martinez both shined in the outing -- neither gave up a run, and the hurlers combined to allow just four hits over 14.1 frames. Three of those hits were surrendered by Myers, but none went for extra bases, and he notched a season-high nine punchouts to Martinez's seven. Myers has now allowed just two runs over 16.1 frames across his past three starts, but he doesn't have a win to show for it. Nonetheless, he's more than solidified his spot in the rotation since returning from a short stint in the minors June 5. Across 11 starts since that date, the right-hander has posted a sparkling 1.75 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over 67 frames.

Nola (11-6) allowed four runs (three earned) on nine hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.

Nola yielded multiple homers for the sixth time this season and has now given up nine long balls over his last eight starts. He's lost his last two outings and hasn't won in five starts, giving up 15 runs (14 earned) over 27.2 innings in the longer span. For the season, Nola has pitched to a 3.60 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 138:37 K:BB through 147.1 innings over 24 starts. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Nationals.

Pallante allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks while striking out four batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Saturday.

Pallante was clinging to a one-run lead entering the sixth inning and retired the first two batters in that frame before issuing a walk and surrendering a single. He was subsequently relieved by Ryan Fernandez, who promptly served up a Freddy Fermin single that tied the game and eliminated Pallante from contention for a victory. Despite issuing a season-high four walks, Pallante bounced back pretty well from the five-run, 4.2-frame clunker he put up in his previous start, and he'll likely remain in the rotation until Lance Lynn (knee) is ready to return -- though that might not be very far off.

Webb (10-8) earned the win against the Tigers on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk with eight strikeouts over seven innings.

Webb was dialed in, throwing 78 of 110 pitches for strikes and generating an impressive 17 whiffs. Including a complete-game shutout July 31, the 27-year-old has allowed two earned runs across 21.2 innings during a current three-game win streak. On the year, he owns a 3.32 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 133:40 K:BB across 157 innings and lines up for a matchup with Atlanta next week.

The Dodgers are expected to recall Knack from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

With River Ryan (forearm) heading to the IL after suffering an in-game injury Saturday, Knack will join the 26-man roster to pitch out of the bullpen. Knack has started in eight of his nine appearances for the Dodgers this season, logging a 3.07 ERA across 44.0 innings. He should handle a long-relief role during his stint in Los Angeles.

Kelly (shoulder) will be reinstated from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday's game against the Phillies, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

As expected, Kelly will take the mound for Arizona on Sunday for the first time since April. The 35-year-old threw 62 pitches in his lone minor-league start, so he should be under some sort of pitch count during his MLB return. Kelly allowed three runs on six hits and no walks across four innings during the minor-league outing and may need to shake off some rust before recapturing his early 2024 form.

Ryan (forearm) will undergo an MRI on Sunday to discern the severity of his injury and will be placed on the injured list, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Ryan was removed from Saturday's start against the Pirates in the fifth inning due to forearm tightness, and the injury is more significant than initially expected. The 25-year-old has shined in limited playing time for the Dodgers, posting a 1.33 ERA with 19 strikeouts in 15.2 innings, but his impressive rookie campaign will be paused for an uncertain amount of time. Sunday's MRI should give fantasy managers a more accurate timeline for Ryan's absence.

Steele allowed an unearned run on six hits and two walks while striking out eight over six innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Saturday.

Steele posted his second quality start in a row, but he didn't get enough run support while in the game to collect the win. The southpaw has allowed 16 runs (15 earned) over 43.2 innings across his last seven starts, while a pair of five-run outings has affected those numbers. For the year, Steele is at a 3.16 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 112:31 K:BB through 114 innings over 19 starts. He's projected to make his next outing at home versus the Blue Jays.
