Mikolas (3-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing two hits and two walks over six scoreless innings against Kansas City. He struck out four.

Mikolas generated just three whiffs but worked efficiently, as he needed only 76 pitches (50 strikes) to get through six innings. It's the second quality start of the year for the right-hander, and he's gone 3-0 with a 1.30 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB across 27.2 frames in his past five starts. A home matchup with the Diamondbacks likely waits for him next weekend.

Suarez went 2-for-4 with a home run and three total RBI against the Rockies in a loss Saturday.

Suarez hit a run-scoring single in the first inning, belted a solo homer to left field in the fourth and notched a sacrifice fly in the fifth. The veteran third baseman has racked up three RBI in each of his past three contests and now has driven in 37 runs this season, tied for fourth most in the majors. Suarez is also tied with teammate Corbin Carroll with 14 home runs and is well ahead of pace to finish with 30-plus long balls for the sixth time in his career.

Freeman went 4-for-5 with two runs scored in Saturday's 11-9 loss to the Angels.

Freeman has a pair of four-hit efforts over his last six games. He's batting .441 (26-for-59) over 15 contests in May, adding eight extra-base hits and 17 RBI. The first baseman's .375 batting average ranks second to only Aaron Judge (.402) through Saturday's action. Freeman has added a fantastic 1.115 OPS, nine home runs, 34 RBI, 26 runs scored and no stolen bases through 35 games as he continues to receive treatment on his surgically repaired right ankle. While that ongoing recovery will prevent him from making much of an impact with speed, he's more than made up for it with his elite and dependable bat.

Carroll went 1-for-5 with a walk, a run, an RBI and two stolen bases in a loss to the Rockies on Saturday.

Carroll's speed led to a run in the first inning, as he walked to lead off the frame, stole second and scored on a Ketel Marte single. Carroll added another theft after hitting a run-scoring single in the fourth frame to give him his second multi-steal performance of the campaign. The star outfielder has notched at least one stolen base in three consecutive contests and has, so far at least, bounced back in a big way from a bit of a down season last year that saw him finish with a .750 OPS. Through 215 plate appearances in 2025, Carroll is slashing .285/.358/.601 with 14 home runs, 38 runs, 32 RBI and nine stolen bases.

Hernandez went 2-for-2 with a solo home run, three walks and three total runs scored in Saturday's 11-9 loss to the Angels.

Hernandez has three multi-hit efforts over his last nine games, going 10-for-27 (.370) with two homers in that span. The utility player had drawn just seven walks over 101 plate appearances prior to Saturday, with his three-walk performance in this contest helping to lift his on-base percentage from .270 to .305. He's added seven homers, 16 RBI, 16 runs scored, two doubles and no stolen bases over 36 contests this season.

Pages went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 11-9 loss to the Angels.

Pages is sizzling at the plate lately, and that's included a recent burst of power. He's homered three times over his last four games, and he's batting .281 (18-for-64) over 15 contests in May. Overall, the outfielder is enjoying a breakout in his second major-league season, batting .288 with an .847 OPS, nine homers, 27 RBI, 23 runs scored and five stolen bases over 43 games. Pages has filled in for Teoscar Hernandez (groin) in right field lately, but given his recent strong play, manager Dave Roberts will likely find a spot for Pages on a near-everyday basis even once Hernandez returns from the injured list.

Farmer went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double and four total RBI in Saturday's 14-12 victory versus Arizona.

Farmer had two big hits in the victory -- a two-run homer in the third inning that tied the score 6-6 and a two-run double in the sixth that pulled the Rockies within a run. The veteran infielder's long ball was his second in as many games after he began the campaign with no homers through his first 35 contests. Farmer doesn't have an everyday role with the Rockies, as he started Saturday for just the second time across the team's past five games.

Kershaw allowed five runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two over four innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Saturday.

Kershaw struggled in his major-league season debut after a largely successful five-start rehab stint while recovering from left knee and left toe surgeries. The Angels got three of their runs on three hits and two walks in the first inning, marking a rough opening frame for the southpaw. Kershaw ended with 83 pitches (48 strikes) in the contest. Assuming he feels fine coming out of Saturday, he is tentatively projected for a road start versus the Mets next weekend. Even if he has to ease his way back to full fitness, Kershaw's presence is a welcome sight for a Dodgers rotation that has been hammered by injuries early in 2025.

Goodman went 3-for-6 with a home run, a double, two total runs and four total RBI in a 14-12 win against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

Goodman smashed a two-run homer to left field in the first inning and added a two-run single in the sixth. The 25-year-old backstop has been swinging a hot stick of late, batting .429 (15-for-35) with two homers, eight runs and 11 RBI over his past eight games. Goodman has emerged as one of the league's better offensive catchers this season, and he ranks second at the position with 29 RBI while slashing .300/.354/.506 with seven long balls through 43 contests.

Tovar went 5-for-6 with a solo home run, a triple, two total runs and two total RBI against Arizona in a 14-12 victory Saturday.

In just his second game since returning from a month-long stint on the injured list, Tovar shined with his first career five-hit performance. Among the knocks was a 425-foot solo homer in the third inning and an RBI single that provided a big insurance run in the ninth. Tovar has collected hits in bunches this season -- he came into Saturday with just two hits over his previous 23 at-bats, but before that he had put together a 10-for-23 stretch across five contests. After mashing 26 home runs in a breakout campaign last year, Tovar's long ball Saturday was his first through 18 games this season.
