Vasquez (4-6) allowed three runs (two earned) on eight hits and struck out three without walking a batter over six innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Saturday.

Vasquez was back in the majors for the first time in three weeks and delivered a steady outing, throwing 60 of 77 pitches for strikes. The Rockies picked up two runs in the second inning and Hunter Goodman tagged Vasquez for a solo shot in the sixth, but the right-hander received plenty of run support. He's now at a 3.91 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 62:49 K:BB through 117.1 innings over 24 appearances (23 starts) this season. The Padres' rotation has been in flux lately, with Nestor Cortes (biceps) going on the injured list, Michael King (knee) nearing a return and JP Sears sent down in late August. If Vasquez gets another turn in the rotation, it's projected to be in a rematch with the Rockies in San Diego next week.

Ryan (13-8) took the loss against the Royals on Saturday, allowing five runs on four hits and four walks with two strikeouts over two innings.

Ryan was tagged for five runs in the first inning and issued a season-high four walks, leaving after just 62 pitches in his shortest outing of the season. Despite tossing seven shutout frames last Sunday, the 29-year-old has now allowed five earned runs or more in three of his past four starts. He'll carry a 3.32 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 176:34 K:BB across 157 innings into a home matchup with the Diamondbacks next weekend.

Kolek (5-5) earned the win against the Twins on Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk with four strikeouts over seven innings.

Kolek was spotted an early lead and ran with it, throwing 64 of 95 pitches for strikes while limiting the Twins to just two extra-base hits in his longest outing since a complete game shutout May 10. The 28-year-old has delivered quality starts in both of his appearances with the Royals and now owns a 3.88 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 63:27 K:BB across 92.2 innings this season. He's slated to face the Guardians on the road next week.

Garcia won't take his turn in the rotation Sunday against the Rangers, as Framber Valdez is slated to make the start instead, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

According to McTaggart , Garcia isn't dealing with an injury, but Houston wants Valdez to start the series finale instead. It's not clear if that means Garcia will pitch in Toronto on Tuesday for what had been expected to be Valdez's next turn on the mound.

Pfaadt (13-8) allowed one run on six hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over six innings to earn the win over the Red Sox on Saturday.

After allowing 10 runs over his last two starts in August, Pfaadt was impressive to begin September. He threw 65 of 96 pitches for strikes and limited the damage to an RBI single by Masataka Yoshida in the third inning. Pfaadt is up to 10 quality starts in 29 outings this season, though just three of them have come since the All-Star break. He has a 5.18 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 129:33 K:BB through 153 innings this season. The 26-year-old's next projected start is expected to be on the road in Minnesota.

Valdez will start Sunday's series finale against Texas, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Luis Garcia had previously been slated to start for Houston on Sunday, but the team decided to go with Valdez instead. Per McTaggart, Garcia isn't dealing with any sort of injury -- the Astros simply decided to move up Valdez's turn in the rotation. It remains to be seen if Garcia will take the mound Tuesday in Toronto for what had been scheduled to be Valdez's next start.

Giolito (10-3) allowed four runs (two earned) on seven hits and three walks while striking out two over five innings to take the loss versus the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Giolito threw just 53 of 94 pitches for strikes. He struggled in the second inning after an error allowed the Diamondbacks to put together a three-run rally, and that was enough to sink the Red Sox in what ended up being a 5-1 contest. Prior to Saturday, Giolito had allowed just five runs over his previous four starts, covering 25 innings in that span. While he's had a few shaky outings this season, this was just his third loss and his first since July 18 versus the Cubs. The 31-year-old has maintained a 3.38 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 107:46 K:BB through 130.1 innings over 23 starts. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Yankees.

Rogers did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers, allowing two runs on eight hits and one walk with six strikeouts over 5.1 innings.

Rogers gave up runs in the third and fifth innings but was otherwise sharp, racking up 16 whiffs while landing 71 of 96 pitches for strikes. While the outing snapped the southpaw's run of 10 straight quality starts, he's still allowed three earned runs or fewer in all 15 of his outings this season. He'll take a 1.51 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 87:20 K:BB across 95.2 innings into a road matchup with the Blue Jays next weekend.

Yamamoto did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Orioles, allowing one run on one hit and two walks with 10 strikeouts over 8.2 innings.

Yamamoto came within one out of recording 2025's first no-hitter before Jackson Holliday spoiled the bid with a solo homer, and the Dodgers' bullpen couldn't close things out after his exit. The 27-year-old was dominant regardless, racking up 23 whiffs on 112 pitches and logging 10 strikeouts for the second straight start. He'll take a 2.72 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 177:50 K:BB across 155.1 innings into a road matchup with the Giants next weekend.

Baz did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk with eight strikeouts over five innings.

Baz allowed two runs in the fourth inning but was otherwise sharp, throwing 55 of 82 pitches for strikes while racking up 17 whiffs. The 26-year-old has turned in two quality starts over his past three outings, giving up just five earned runs with a 21:5 K:BB over the entirety of that span. He'll carry a 4.94 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 164:57 K:BB across 155 innings into a road matchup with the Cubs next weekend.
