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.

Lambert (8-9) took the loss Saturday against the Rays, allowing three runs on six hits and no walks in six-plus innings. He struck out four.

Lambert pounded the zone Saturday, throwing 62 of his 85 pitches for strikes before being chased in the seventh inning following a Liam Hicks double. The right-hander has now posted consecutive quality starts, and he's also given up three runs or fewer in 12 of his last 13 outings. He'll take a 3.71 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 141:56 K:BB over 145.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against Atlanta.

Prielipp (5-7) earned the win against the Guardians on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks with one strikeout over 5.1 innings.

Prielipp benefited from a four-run third inning from the Twins' offense, and he filled the strike zone with 57 of 77 pitches despite generating only five whiffs. The 25-year-old has now yielded three earned runs or fewer in four straight outings, with his two appearances prior to Saturday coming in bulk relief. He owns a 5.24 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 117:40 K:BB across 113.1 frames in his rookie campaign and lines up to face the Angels next weekend, though it's unclear in what role that may be.

Cantillo did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Twins, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out eight over four scoreless innings.

Cantillo entered in the third inning and dominated, throwing 37 of 56 pitches for strikes with 10 whiffs. It marked the first time the 26-year-old pitched in relief all year, and it was also his first scoreless outing since another four-inning effort July 29. He owns a 3.89 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 162:78 K:BB across 148 frames this season and lines up for a home matchup with the Athletics next weekend, should he return to the rotation.

Dobnak (3-4) took the loss against the Red Sox on Saturday, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks with four strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Dobnak departed in a 1-1 tie with two outs and two men on in the sixth inning, but he was saddled with the loss after both inherited runners came around to score. It ended a streak of three straight games in which the 31-year-old completed six frames, but he's still yielded three earned runs or fewer in 11 of 13 outings this season. He'll take a 2.73 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 47:23 K:BB across 69.1 innings into a road matchup with the Pirates next weekend.

Bradish (7-14) took the loss Saturday, surrendering five runs on eight hits and two walks over three innings as the Orioles fell 7-3 to the Blue Jays. He struck out two.

Home runs by Brett Bateman and Alejandro Kirk in the third inning helped chase Bradish from the mound after just 56 pitches (37 strikes). It's the fifth time in his last nine starts that the right-hander has failed to complete five innings, and over that stretch he's stumbled to a 5.83 ERA, 1.82 WHIP and 32:19 K:BB in 41.2 innings while going 0-5. Bradish will try to rebound in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Brewers.

Suarez (7-4) earned the win against the Royals on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and no walks with eight strikeouts over seven innings.

Suarez allowed a solo homer in the sixth frame but was otherwise dominant, throwing 69 of 96 pitches for strikes with 14 whiffs. After surrendering a season-high six runs Aug. 30, the southpaw has rebounded in a big way with back-to-back seven-inning victories. He'll carry a 3.33 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 130:40 K:BB across 137.2 innings this season into a road matchup with the Rays next weekend.

Sasaki (finger) could come off the injured list as early as Thursday against the Reds, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

It was previously believed Sasaki could return Sunday in Miami, but that's not in the Dodgers' plans. The right-hander hasn't pitched since August 26 due to a blister on his right middle finger. Sasaki has made 23 starts this season, posting a 4.60 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 117:48 K:BB across 119.1 innings. In seven starts since the All-Star break, Sasaki has a 3.05 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over 38.1 frames.

Skenes completed seven innings Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four batters in a no-decision against the Cubs.

Skenes struggled a bit early, giving up a solo homer in both of the first and third innings. However, those were the only hits he allowed during those frames, and the All-Star hurler finished his outing with four straight scoreless innings. Overall, Skenes allowed only six baserunners and was very efficient, needing just 82 pitches (53 strikes) to complete seven innings. He was in line for the win upon his departure, but a late letdown by the Pirates' bullpen spoiled that bid. Though Skenes again didn't do much in the strikeout department, this was a strong performance against a tough offense after he gave up five runs over 5.1 frames the last time he faced the Cubs. Skenes will carry a disappointing 3.78 overall ERA into his next start, which is projected to be at home against Milwaukee.
