Peterson (3-2) earned the victory over the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over 7.2 innings.

Peterson fell behind 2-0 in the second inning but didn't give up another run for the remainder of his outing. The southpaw completed a season-high 7.2 frames (in fact, this was the first time all year he's pitched more than six innings) and recorded his fourth straight quality start. Peterson's past two outings have been particularly impressive given the quality of opponent -- he's yielded just three earned runs over 13.2 frames versus the Yankees and Dodgers. The veteran hurler has been a key part of the Mets' rotation this year, posting a 2.79 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 54:22 K:BB through 58 innings. Peterson's next start is projected to be much less intimidating on paper than his past two, as he's lined up to face the Rockies at home next weekend.

Sosa is day-to-day with a left wrist injury, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Sosa hurt his wrist in the ninth inning during Friday's win over the Athletics, and the issue kept him out of the lineup Saturday. Manager Rob Thomson hopes to get the infielder three days off ahead of Tuesday's series opener against Atlanta. The lefty-hitting Bryson Stott made a rare start against a southpaw Saturday, and the Phillies may need to lean on him even more at second base until Sosa is healthy.

Toglia went 1-for-4 with a triple and an RBI on Saturday against the Yankees.

Toglia was held out of the lineup for three games spanning Wednesday to Friday to work on his approach at the plate. He returned to the lineup Saturday to drive in Colorado's only run with a triple in the fourth inning. Toglia has been in a season-long slump with few signs of turning it around, as he has gone just 12-for-65 (.184) with three homers, seven RBI and six runs scored across 20 games in May.

Acuna went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Padres.

Acuna followed up his season debut with a 427-foot homer to extend Atlanta's lead in the sixth inning. The 27-year-old did strike out three times, but it's encouraging to see his power return so quickly after ACL surgery. Through two games back from a year-long absence, he's gone 3-for-9 with two home runs and three RBI while batting leadoff in both contests.

De La Cruz went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, four RBI, a stolen base and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Cubs

De La Cruz started the scoring with a two-run home run in the first inning and then broke the game open with a two-run single in the fifth. While the 23-year-old is slashing just .200/.284/.388 in May, he's produced two homers, seven RBI, eight runs scored and three steals over his past 10 games. On the year, he's slashing .248/.322/.417 with nine long balls, 37 RBI, 35 runs scored and 17 steals across 230 plate appearances.

Freeland (0-7) took the loss against the Yankees on Saturday, allowing eight runs (four earned) on nine hits and three walks while striking out three across 4.2 innings.

Freeland put the Rockies on the back foot in the first inning after yielding a solo home run to Aaron Judge. Freeland kept the Yankees off the board over the next three frames but ran into trouble in the fifth, when he allowed seven of the first nine batters on base before being mercifully lifted for Angel Chivilli. Freeland has given up four earned runs or more in five outings this season and has gone 14 straight starts without a win, dating back to September 2024. He has a 5.86 ERA and 1.68 WHIP across 55.1 innings this season, both of which are the highest in the majors among qualified starters. Things won't get easier for Freeland, as he's slated to make his next start against the Mets on the road next weekend.

Abbott (4-0) earned the win against the Cubs on Saturday, allowing one run on six hits and two walks with two strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

Abbott allowed a solo homer in the third inning but otherwise kept the Cubs in check despite inducing just five whiffs on 83 pitches. The southpaw has now given up more than one earned run only once in eight starts this year and has completed at least five frames six times. He'll take a stellar 1.77 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 45:17 K:BB over 40.2 innings into a road rematch with the Cubs next weekend.

Rea (3-1) took the loss against the Reds on Saturday, allowing six runs on seven hits and three walks with eight strikeouts over five innings.

Rea surrendered a two-run homer in the first inning and then allowed four runs across his final two frames. It was a mixed outing, as he threw 70 of 108 pitches for strikes and recorded a season-high eight punchouts while also yielding his most walks and runs in a start this season. The 34-year-old will carry a 3.28 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 40:14 K:BB across 46.2 innings into a rematch with the Reds at home next weekend.

Sanoja is not in the Marlins' starting lineup against the Angels on Saturday.

Sanoja will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout after going 0-for-2 with a strikeout in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Angels. Otto Lopez will shift to shortstop while Ronny Simon starts at second base and bats ninth.

Durbin went 3-for-3 with a double, an RBI and one caught stealing in Saturday's loss against the Pirates. He was also hit by a pitch.

Durbin's performance was a bright spot in an otherwise tough loss Saturday, as the rookie notched the first three-hit game of his young career. The 25-year-old has struggled overall, batting .210 with a .580 OPS over 105 at-bats, but he's currently riding a four-game hitting streak. Durbin continuing to flash the bat-to-ball skills he's shown in the minor leagues would be a major boost for a struggling Brewers lineup.
