Hader allowed a hit in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Saturday's 3-2 victory over the Padres. He did not strike out or walk a batter.

Hader failed to record a strikeout for just the second time this season, but he still threw 11 of his 15 pitches for strikes en route to his sixth save in as many chances this year. After giving up a run Opening Day, the left-hander has an 11:1 K:BB across 10 scoreless frames in his past eight outings.

Hendricks (0-2) was charged with the loss Saturday versus the Giants after allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out one.

Hendricks needed just 63 pitches to record 15 outs, but he wasn't given the chance to work deeper into Saturday's contest. It's the second consecutive loss for the veteran right-hander, and his numbers (4.50 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 11:7 K:BB across 20 innings) through four starts aren't surprising at this point in his career. He tentatively lines up to face the Twins on the road next weekend.

Woods Richardson (1-2) took the loss Saturday in Atlanta after allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out three.

The right-hander followed an opener and held Atlanta to a single tally through four frames, but he was charged two runs in the sixth to squander a one-run lead. Woods Richardson has failed to complete five innings in two of his four outings this season, which will make it difficult for him to be a significant factor in the win column without more chances behind an opener.

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.
