Gibson (7-4) allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while failing to record a strikeout over five innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Nationals.

Gibson has posted a 17:9 K:BB over 20.2 innings across his last four starts, allowing 10 runs in that span. That's just a little worse than his 3.97 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 102:46 K:BB for the year, marks he's achieved in 113.1 innings across 20 starts. The veteran right-hander is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Cubs.

Irvin (8-8) allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.1 innings to earn the win over the Cardinals on Saturday.

The two runs on his line came on a Willson Contreras home run in the sixth inning, but the Nationals had already established a large lead. Irvin has allowed four runs over 12.1 innings across two starts since the All-Star break after struggling in his last two outings prior to the intermission. He's now at a 3.44 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 111:30 K:BB through 128.1 innings over 22 starts this season. Irvin's next outing is projected to be at home versus the Brewers.

Wrobleski allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Houston on Saturday.

Wrobleski cruised through five frames, holding the Astros scoreless on two hits. He then allowed consecutive singles to begin the sixth but rebounded to retire the next pair of batters before Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts decided to pull the southpaw after a modest 82 pitches. That decision didn't work out well for the Dodgers, as Evan Phillips came in and surrendered four consecutive singles, allowing both inherited runners plus two more to score. Wrobleski later lost the opportunity for his first big-league victory when Houston put up two runs in the eighth frame. Despite the disappointing outcome for the rookie, his start was promising overall, as he tossed a career-high 5.2 frames and came within one out of a quality start. With James Paxton's recent release, Wrobleski has a good chance of sticking in the rotation even when Walker Buehler (hip) returns from the injured list.

Blanco allowed four runs on three hits and three walks while striking out nine batters over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Saturday.

Blanco gave up at least one run in three of the five frames in which he pitched, though the final two runs charged to his ledger came after he departed in the fifth inning. While the right-hander's final line was mostly unimpressive, he did manage to rack up a season-high nine punchouts while inducing 18 swinging strikes. Saturday marked the first time in 10 starts that Blanco failed to complete five innings, though he's now given up four runs in each of his past two appearances.

Crawford allowed five runs on eight hits and struck out five over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Yankees on Saturday. He did not walk a batter.

Crawford has avoided issuing a walk in four of his last five outings, but it didn't lead to success in this start. He gave up home runs to Juan Soto, Aaron Judge and Oswaldo Cabrera the first time through the order. Crawford has given up five or more earned runs in each of his last two starts after a streak of six games where he permitted no more than three earned runs. He's at a 3.60 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 117:29 K:BB through 122.1 innings over 21 starts this season. The right-hander is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Rangers.

Civale allowed two runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out three batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against Miami on Saturday.

Civale gave up a pair of runs in the second frame but otherwise kept the Marlins off the scoreboard. He departed with a one-run lead in the sixth inning but was prevented from picking up a win as a result of the Brewers' bullpen imploding in the seventh. Civale has now gone 18 straight outings since his last victory, and he has posted a 5.74 ERA over 91 frames during that span.

Stroman allowed five runs (three earned) on nine hits and a walk while failing to record a strikeout over 3.1 innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Red Sox.

Stroman has failed to complete five innings in three of his last five starts, and he's lost the two outings in that span. The Red Sox did their damage against him in the first two innings, and Stroman exited at 60 pitches (34 strikes) after recording just 10 outs. For the season, he's carrying a 3.64 ERA, but that's up from 3.29 at the end of June. He's added a 1.35 WHIP and 83:48 K:BB through 113.2 innings over 21 starts. The veteran right-hander is tentatively projected to make his next start at home versus the Blue Jays.

Meyer allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three batters over four innings in a no-decision against Milwaukee on Saturday.

Meyer pitched well in his initial stint in the majors this season, collecting two wins and posting a 2.12 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB across 17 innings over three starts back in April. The right-hander's return to Miami's rotation Saturday was thus big news in fantasy, but the 25-year-old endured his worst big-league start of the campaign and failed to complete five innings for the first time. Meyer should nonetheless stick in the Marlins' injury-depleted rotation, and he's tentatively slated to make his next start in Atlanta.

Feltner allowed one run on four hits and four walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Saturday.

Feltner pitched well, allowing a single run on a solo home run to Matt Chapman. He otherwise worked in and out of trouble in the no-decision. Feltner has looked good as of late, having tossed three quality starts in his last four outings. The 27-year-old's ERA currently sits at 4.99, dipping below 5.00 for the first time since his last win April 12.

Fedde (7-4) allowed three runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over four innings to take the loss versus the Mariners on Saturday.

Fedde wasn't sharp, throwing 47 of 79 pitches for strikes in his shortest start of the season. He ran into trouble the second time through the order, as the Mariners put up all three runs on his line in the fourth inning. It was the first time over four starts in July he allowed more than two runs. The right-hander has been a pleasant surprise this year with a 3.11 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 108:34 K:BB through 121.2 innings over 21 starts. His career high for innings in a year in North America is 138.1 frames back in 2021, but he threw 180.1 innings in the KBO last year, so fatigue down the stretch shouldn't be an issue. Fedde is a likely trade candidate and this may have been his last start in a White Sox uniform.
