Priester (6-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing one hit and two walks over seven scoreless innings against the Rockies. He struck out 11.

Priester was dominant, setting season highs in both innings pitched and strikeouts while allowing no runs in a start for the first time since April 15. The 2019 first-rounder appears to be hitting his stride in his first year with the Brewers, posting a 1.98 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over five starts spanning 27.1 innings in June. Those outings have helped lower the right-hander's season ERA to 3.35 with a 1.23 WHIP across 15 starts and 78.0 innings.

Turang went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI in Saturday's win over the Rockies.

The second baseman delivered a standout performance in Saturday's win, driving in the game's first run with an RBI single in the first inning and later tacking on an RBI double in the fifth inning -- both off Antonio Senzatela. Turang is putting together a strong third MLB season, highlighted by a scorching 15-game stretch during which he's slashing .400/.413/.533 with six extra-base hits and 10 RBI.

Senzatela (3-11) took the loss Saturday, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks over 4.1 innings against the Brewers. He struck out two.

Senzatela's two-game winning streak came to an end Saturday, marking the 10th time this season he's failed to pitch at least five innings. While June has still been rough -- he's posted a 5.56 ERA and 1.81 WHIP over 22.2 innings in five starts -- it represents a step forward from May, when the right-hander recorded a 9.10 ERA and 2.09 WHIP across 28.2 innings in six outings.

Ashcraft (groin) threw a bullpen session Friday and is scheduled for another one Sunday, MLB.com reports.

If all goes well this weekend, Ashcraft will throw a simulated game Wednesday in Boston. The right-hander transitioned this season from starter to reliever, a role for which the organization feels he's suited, with mixed results. The Reds believe Ashcraft has the right makeup to close games, and there was some chatter back in spring training about him getting ninth-inning chances, but Emilio Pagan is currently thriving in that role for Cincinnati.

Hinds started in right field and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 6-4 loss to San Diego.

Hinds made his third start in the last four games, with the first two coming against left-handers and Saturday's against a righty. The Reds are shorthanded in the outfield, which factors into Hinds' usage. Austin Hays just returned from a significant foot injury, while both Connor Joe (illness) and Jake Fraley (shoulder) are on the 10-day injured list. Hinds is 2-for-11 with five strikeouts and two runs scored in his three starts.

Hays opened Saturday's game on the bench but eventually entered as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-1 in a loss to the Padres.

Hays was activated off the injured list Friday and served as the designated hitter for that game. He finished out Saturday's contest as the DH after pinch hitting for Gavin Lux. Hays had missed nearly a month with a foot injury, and it appears manager Terry Francona is easing him back into the lineup and eventually left field.

Marte went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Marlins.

Marte's three-run shot in the fourth inning snapped an 0-for-11 streak, his longest hitless stretch of the season. With the home run, he became the third player in Diamondbacks history to drive in 500 runs for the club. Marte's been remarkably consistent in 2025, which factors into him being atop the All-Star voting at second base in the NL.

McCann went 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to Miami.

McCann made his second start behind the plate since the Diamondbacks signed him Monday. The veteran backstop was drilled by a pitch on the hand Saturday but was able to stay in the game. He's expected to split work behind the dish with Jose Herrera until Gabriel Moreno (finger) returns from the injured list.

Perdomo went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Marlins.

Perdomo doubled to lead off the bottom of the first inning and scored, and he then came home on Ketel Marte's three-run home run in the fourth. Perdomo is enjoying a productive run as the leadoff or second batter in the order while Corbin Carroll (wrist) is on the mend. He's hit safely in eight of nine games, going 12-for-40 (.300) with two doubles, two homers, eight RBI, a stolen base and eight runs scored. The shortstop is second on the team in RBI (57) and fourth in runs (45).

Feltner (back) allowed six runs (five earned) on seven hits and four walks while striking out three batters over 3.2 innings in the third start of his rehab assignment Friday with Triple-A Albuquerque.

Feltner built up to 66 pitches in the outing, but he struggled with both his command and control. The right-hander is expected to make one more rehab start before making his return from the 60-day injured list shortly before the All-Star break, per MLB.com reports.
