Detmers (0-3) allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven over four innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Rangers.

Detmers threw 60 of 94 pitches for strikes, but Rangers batters were able to foul off 23 of those pitches. His two shortest outings of the season have been his last two, where he's allowed a combined 10 runs (seven earned) over 8.1 innings. The good news is that he hasn't allowed a home run in that span. Detmers now has a 5.10 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 38:12 K:BB over 30 innings spanning six starts. He's projected for a road start in Cleveland next weekend.

Eovaldi (4-2) earned the win Saturday over the Angels, allowing five hits and two walks while striking out five over eight scoreless innings.

Eovaldi was excellent for the second start in a row, and a ninth-inning eruption by the Rangers solidified his third win in his last four outings. He hasn't allowed a run in 17 innings over his last two starts, lowering his ERA to 3.22 with a 1.10 WHIP and 44:7 K:BB across 44.2 innings through seven appearances this season. Eovaldi has quality starts in four straight games, and he'll look to keep rolling in Oakland next week.

Megill (3-2) took the loss Saturday as the Mets fell 5-2 to the Rockies, giving up three runs on six hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out four.

The right-hander wasn't particularly sharp, throwing only 58 of 96 pitches for strikes, but he also didn't get much help from his offense as the Mets never led in the game. Megill will take a 4.33 ERA and 27:18 K:BB through 35.1 innings into his next start, likely to come on the road next weekend against the Nationals.

Snell (1-5) allowed two runs on a hit and three walks while striking out six over six innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Dodgers.

Snell was unlucky Saturday -- the only hit he surrendered was a two-run home run to Chris Taylor in the fourth inning. The Padres' offense mustered a mere one run on five hits and three walks. Snell's earned quality starts in his last two outings, but he's also given up at least one homer in six straight appearances. He's at a 4.89 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 39:21 K:BB through 35 innings over seven starts this season. The southpaw is lined up for a rematch with the Dodgers in Los Angeles next week.

Gomber (3-4) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings in a 5-2 victory over the Mets. He struck out three.

After a shaky start to the season, Gomber has turned a corner and won three straight outings, posting a 1.59 ERA and 1.06 WHIP in 17 innings over that stretch. His 10:7 K:BB during the win streak is far from dominant, but the southpaw has kept the ball in the park and limited any damage. While he's trending in the right direction, Gomber will still carry a 6.75 ERA into his next start, which is likely to come next weekend in Coors Field against the Phillies.

May (4-1) allowed three hits and a walk while striking out six over six scoreless innings to earn the win Saturday over the Padres.

May was bumped back in the rotation a couple days, and it appears the extra time served him well. This was his best start since his season debut, and he was able to earn his third win in a row. The right-hander has a 2.68 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 29:15 K:BB over 40.1 innings through seven outings. He'll look to keep it up in his next start, as he tentatively lines up for a rematch with San Diego next week, this time in Los Angeles.

Smyly didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Marlins, giving up two runs on three hits and three walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out five.

The veteran lefty didn't have sharp command and needed 83 pitches (50 strikes) to record 10 outs in his shortest start of the year so far, but the Cubs got him off the hook for a loss with a three-run eighth inning. Smyly still has a 3.05 ERA and 34:9 K:BB through 38.1 innings, and he'll look to rebound in his next outing, likely to come next weekend in Minnesota.

Singer (2-4) took the loss Saturday, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks over four innings in a 5-4 loss against the Athletics. He struck out four.

Singer's rocky start to the season continued Saturday, as he gave up at least five runs for the fifth time in seven starts while taking his fourth loss in his last five appearances. Considering Singer owns an abysmal 8.82 ERA and 1.60 WHIP while the Royals score the fifth-fewest runs in MLB, Singer isn't currently an attractive fantasy option.

Waldichuk (1-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits and six walks over five innings in a 5-4 victory over Kansas City. He struck out six.

Waldichuk grabbed his first win of the year after four straight no-decisions. He also set a season high in walks, doubling the previous mark of three. Most of the damage came in the fourth, where Waldichuk gave up a solo homer to Freddy Fermin and a two-run shot to Bobby Witt. Waldichuk has struggled with the long ball this year, giving up 11 home runs over 36.0 innings to go along with a poor 7.25 ERA. Though the left-hander doesn't provide much season-long value, he offers some intrigue as a matchup-based streamer considering the Oakland Coliseum's status as a pitcher-friendly ballpark.

Wainwright didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Tigers, giving up four runs on eight hits over five-plus innings. He struck out five.

Activated from the IL earlier in the day after completing his recovery from a groin injury, the 41-year-old gave St. Louis three scoreless frames in his season debut before beginning to fade, eventually getting pulled after 90 pitches (62 strikes) when he gave up back-to-back hits to lead off the sixth inning. Wainwright was still in position to pick up the win until Detroit tied it up in the seventh. The workload is encouraging, and despite his age he has thrown over 190 innings in each of the last two seasons, so Wainwright isn't expected to need extra rest between starts now that he's healthy. He'll likely take the mound for his second start of 2023 next weekend in Boston.
