Leahy allowed two hits and struck out four without walking a batter over three scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the White Sox on Saturday.

Leahy provided good work in another short start, throwing 26 of 38 pitches for strikes. His pitch count continues to come down as part of his workload management in September, and that will make it nearly impossible for him to collect wins unless he moves to bulk relief. Through 28 starts this year, Leahy has a 3.33 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 128:38 K:BB over 135 innings. He is tentatively projected to work in tandem with Cooper Hjerpe again at home versus the Nationals in his next outing.

Castillo allowed three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two over 2.2 innings of relief in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Saturday.

Castillo handled the largest workload for the White Sox in this game, but it amounted to a bullpen game in the end. Castillo has allowed at least three runs in each of his last five appearances, giving up 21 runs (20 earned) over 18 innings in that span. He's at a 5.67 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 111:43 K:BB through 128.2 innings over 27 games (23 starts) this season. It's not yet clear if he'll start or work out of the bullpen in his next outing, which is projected to be at home versus the Tigers.

King (11-9) picked up the win in Saturday's 7-6 victory over the Giants, giving up three runs on five hits over seven innings. He struck out four without walking a batter.

The right-hander served up homers to Rafael Devers in the first inning and Shay Whitcomb in the second to account for all the damage against him, but King shut the door from there. He's reeled off seven straight quality starts, giving him 17 on the season, and over that sizzling streak he's produced a 1.81 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB in 44.2 innings while going 5-1. King will look to stay locked in during his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next week in Colorado.

Alvarez didn't factor into the decision Saturday, allowing one hit and four walks over seven scoreless innings in a 6-5, extra-inning win over the Angels. He struck out eight.

The 27-year-old southpaw delivered his best start yet in the majors, blanking the Halos over 97 pitches (61 strikes) while setting a career high in Ks and leaving the mound in line for his third win, only for the Nationals' bullpen to falter yet again. The quality start was Alvarez's third, with all of them coming since the beginning of August -- over eight outings during that stretch he's posted a 2.44 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 41:19 K:BB in 44.1 frames. He'll look to stay sharp in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in St. Louis.

Drohan didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Reds, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks in 3.2 innings. He struck out four.

Drohan received plenty of run support, as the Brewers staked him to an early 4-0 lead, but he couldn't last long enough to qualify for the win Saturday. The rookie southpaw is showing signs of fatigue late in the season, conceding at least five runs while working four innings or fewer in consecutive outings. He'll try to right the ship his next time out in Baltimore, where he'll bring a 4.35 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 119:41 K:BB over 118 innings.

Urena didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5, extra-inning loss to the Nationals, giving up four runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out seven.

All the damage off Urena came in the first two innings, but the right-hander settled in after that and was taken off the hook for a loss when the Angels staged a late rally from a 4-0 deficit. It's the first time since Aug. 8 that Urena's been tagged for more than three runs, and over his first 137.1 big-league innings he's produced a 2.88 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 131:67 K:BB. He'll look for his 10th win of the season in his next outing, which is set to come at home next week against the Twins.

Singer (6-14) took the loss Saturday against the Brewers, allowing eight runs on eight hits and five walks in four innings. He struck out five.

Milwaukee pounced on Singer right away, tagging him for four runs in the first inning. The right-hander had given up more than four runs just three times in 2026 before his most recent two starts in September, during which he's coughed up a staggering 14 runs. He'll take a 5.38 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 125:56 K:BB over 150.2 innings into a difficult home assignment versus the Dodgers.

Mahle (6-10) tallied the win Saturday against the Phillies, allowing one run on six hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out six.

Mahle cruised to the victory Saturday, with Atlanta surging for eight runs in the fourth inning. The right-hander has been dealing on the mound in his new digs, surrendering two runs or fewer while pitching at least six innings in six of his last seven outings since joining Atlanta. He'll look to keep the good times going his next time out in Houston, where he'll carry a season 3.91 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 127:43 K:BB over 138 innings.

Phillips did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers, allowing two runs on two hits and three walks with three strikeouts over 3.2 innings.

Phillips allowed back-to-back homers in the first inning but did keep the Dodgers in check from there despite throwing just 37 of 68 pitches for strikes. It marked the first time the 28-year-old failed to complete at least four frames in a game he started since July 12, and he's now yielded three earned runs or fewer in five straight outings. He owns a 3.55 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 96:51 K:BB across 119 innings this season and lines up for a road matchup with the Padres next weekend.

Glasnow (4-1) took the loss against the Marlins on Saturday, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks with seven strikeouts over four innings.

Glasnow suffered a three-run second inning and labored overall, throwing just 52 of 91 pitches for strikes and departing after walking two straight batters to open the fifth. While the 33-year-old has registered an impressive 28 punchouts through 22 innings (four starts) since returning from the injured list Aug. 25, he owns a 4.91 ERA during that stretch. He'll take a 3.50 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 77:21 K:BB across 61.2 frames into a home matchup with the Giants next weekend.
