Miller allowed a walk and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mets.

Miller allowed a run in a non-save situation Friday, but he was strong when he needed to be Saturday. Over his last nine appearances (9.1 innings), he has a 17:9 K:BB, though the recent lack of control has yet to lead to a blown save for him. He's converted all 18 of his save opportunities so far while pitching to a 1.01 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 51:12 K:BB through 26.2 innings. Considering Miller has pitched consecutive days, Jason Adam or Adrian Morejon may be called upon for a save chance if one comes up Sunday.

Canning allowed one run on three hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Mets.

After some struggles early in the year, Canning has settled in fairly well, though he's still on the hunt for his first win. He's gone at least five frames in his last four outings, allowing 10 runs across 21.2 innings in that span. The 30-year-old is at a 6.34 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 33:17 K:BB through 32.2 innings over seven starts, so there is still some risk when he draws a tougher matchup. He's projected to make his next start on the road in Baltimore.

Contreras went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Rockies.

Contreras entered the contest 0-for-10 with two strikeouts over his last three games. He was able to end an 11-game homer drought when he went deep in the seventh inning to stretch the Brewers' lead to 3-1. Contreras is batting .283 with a .733 OPS, five homers, 38 RBI, 32 runs scored, one stolen base and 10 doubles over 58 contests this season. He continues to be steady at the plate, though he is on pace for his lowest homer total since he hit eight in his 52-game stint with Atlanta in 2021.

Hamilton went 4-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Rockies.

Hamilton popped the homer in the second inning before adding three more singles. This was his second multi-hit effort over six games in June, matching his total from all of May. The infielder is now batting .243 with a .667 OPS, three homers, 11 RBI, 28 runs scored, 14 stolen bases, three doubles and a triple over 178 plate appearances. Hamilton continues to handle a strong-side platoon role on the left side of the Brewers' infield.

Bauers went 1-for-1 with a solo home run, four walks, a stolen base and two total runs scored in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Rockies.

Bauers didn't get many pitches to hit, but he demonstrated plenty of plate discipline. Remarkably, Saturday marked his second four-walk game in June, the first having come Monday versus the Giants. He has gone 5-for-17 (.294) at the plate with a 10:5 BB:K and two homers over six games this month. Bauers is batting .281 with an .892 OPS, 11 homers, 40 RBI, 37 runs scored, five steals and 12 doubles over 55 games this season. He needs just one more homer to match his career high, one he's reached three previous times (2019, 2023, 2024).

Turang went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Rockies.

Turang opened the scoring in the first inning and followed it up with another solo shot in the eighth. He had gone 15 games without a long ball entering Saturday, and that stretch included six consecutive hitless games from May 25-31. The second baseman has rebounded by going 10-for-22 (.455) in June, lifting him to a .282 average and .891 OPS on the year. Turang has added nine homers (halfway to last year's total) with 37 RBI, 50 runs scored, 11 stolen bases, 13 doubles and two triples over 59 games.

Misiorowski (7-2) allowed one unearned run on four hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out eight over seven innings to earn the win over the Rockies on Saturday.

Misiorowski was undaunted by Coors Field, giving up just one extra-base hit, which was Kyle Karros' RBI double in the fifth inning. It's just the second run Misiorowski has allowed over his last seven starts, a span in which he's earned six wins and posted a 65:9 K:BB. This was actually one of his poorer games during that stretch from a control standpoint -- he didn't permit more than four baserunners in any outing in May. The ace right-hander is at a 1.50 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 116:22 K:BB through 78 innings over 13 starts this season. His next start is projected to come at home versus the Phillies.

Agnos (0-1) allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out one over three innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Brewers.

Agnos threw 57 pitches (33 strikes) in his second start of the season. He gave up solo home runs to Brice Turang and David Hamilton. Over 40 innings through 17 appearances this season, Agnos has a 7.65 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 28:16 K:BB. The right-hander filled in as the Rockies' fifth starter following Tanner Gordon's (hip) move to the injured list, but it's unclear if Colorado will keep Agnos in a starting role moving forward. This spot in the rotation is set to come up again in a road series versus the Athletics next weekend.

Mayza allowed one hit and no walks in a scoreless inning of relief Saturday against the White Sox. He struck out one.

Although he hasn't seen much high-leverage work in 2026, Mayza has been effective out of Philadelphia's bullpen when called upon. The left-hander has a 3.49 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 27:7 K:BB across 28.1 innings, picking up a lone hold.

Smith went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Pirates.

Smith entered the game in an 0-for-14 dry spell at the plate in his last six games, but he launched his first homer since May 20 on Saturday. The veteran slugger has now reached base safely in 10 straight appearances as well. Smith has been effective as Atlanta's primary designated hitter in 2026, hitting .309 with 11 extra-base hits, 28 RBI, 23 runs scored and eight walks over 149 plate appearances.
