Miller struck out two and didn't allow a baserunner in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to earn the save against the Brewers.

Luis Severino held Milwaukee to a single tally over eight innings, and Miller then shut the door with little drama. The flamethrowing righty touched 102.1 mph with his fastball and has yet to give up a run through seven appearances this season. Miller hasn't even allowed a hit in four of those outings and has a dominant 14:1 K:BB while converting all six of his save chances.

Trout went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs during Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Giants.

The 33-year-old delivered the 28th two-homer game of his career, but that was the only offense the Halos could muster Saturday. Trout entered the contest in the midst of a 1-for-18 slump and is still batting just .189 through 20 games, but his power has been on full display early this year with eight long balls and 16 RBI.

Severino (1-3) earned the win Saturday in Milwaukee after allowing one run on three hits and no walks across eight innings. He struck out one.

In addition to just a single strikeout, Severino generated only five swinging strikes on 92 total pitches, but he consistently got ahead in the count and efficiently moved through the Brewers lineup. The veteran right-hander snapped a three-start losing streak with the performance, though it's already his third outing of the year allowing one run or fewer. Severino will take a 3.31 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 22:10 K:BB across 32.2 innings into a favorable matchup versus the White Sox next weekend.

Rutschman went 0-for-4 with a walk in Saturday's win over the Reds.

Rutschman began the season with hits in 12 of his first 14 outings, but he's now hitless in his last 19 at-bats to drop his batting average under the Mendoza Line at .192 on the season. However, he entered play Saturday with an elite 38.8 percent squared-up rate, per Statcast, which suggests Rutschman is still seeing the ball quite well in the early going. Fantasy managers should keep exercising patience with the switch-hitting All-Star backstop, who continues to regularly occupy a premium spot in Baltimore's lineup.

Crawford went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's extra-inning win over Toronto.

Crawford has started each of Seattle's first 21 games of the season, and his offensive production has picked up recently. The veteran shortstop is hitting .310 (9-for-29) with two doubles, four RBI and six runs scored over his last nine outings, and he ranks among MLB's leaders in walks (15) on the campaign. The Mariners have a void at the top of their lineup while Victor Robles (shoulder) is sidelined, and Crawford's on-base skills could allow him to see some at-bats in the leadoff spot at some point this year.

Carrasco did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 10-8 extra-inning loss to the Rays, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks with one strikeout over four innings.

Carrasco was spotted a 6-1 lead but yielded three runs in the fourth inning and was pulled after 75 pitches. He threw just 38 of them for strikes while managing only two whiffs. The veteran has given up at least three runs in four of his five outings and owns an uninspiring 6.53 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 15:7 K:BB across 20.2 innings.

Baz did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 10-8 extra-inning win against the Yankees, allowing five runs on four hits and four walks with three strikeouts over 3.1 innings.

Baz entered with three straight quality starts but couldn't escape the fourth inning Saturday in his shortest outing of the season. He struggled with command, generating just eight whiffs on 83 pitches while issuing four walks for the second time in four starts. The 25-year-old will carry a 3.22 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB across 22.1 innings into a road matchup with the Mariners next weekend.

Judge went 3-for-5 with three RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 10-8 extra-inning loss to the Rays.

Judge drove in two runs on a single in the fourth inning and added another RBI base hit in the ninth. The 32-year-old has recorded hits in eight of his past 10 games, six of which have been multi-hit efforts. On the season, he's slashing an eye-popping .397/.505/.607 with seven home runs, 25 RBI, 21 runs scored and two steals across 95 plate appearances.

Simpson went 1-for-5 with an RBI double and a run scored in Saturday's 10-8 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

Simpson drove in a run with a ground-rule double off Devin Williams, igniting a four-run rally in the ninth to force extra innings. He batted leadoff and should get a fair shot at regular playing time moving forward. While the 24-year-old had just one extra-base hit through 78 plate appearances at Triple-A Durham this season, he swiped eight bases and boasts true 80-grade speed.

Devers went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

Devers opened the scoring with a three-run blast off Shane Smith in the fifth inning. The 28-year-old has hit safely in four straight contests and was intentionally walked in a tie game in the ninth inning. On the season, he's slashing .229/.343/.386 with two home runs, 12 RBI and 12 runs scored across 83 plate appearances.
