Marquez allowed seven runs (five earned) on seven hits and three walks while striking out one batter over three innings in a no-decision against Arizona on Saturday.

Marquez looked like he could be turning a rough season around when he earned a win by allowing one run over seven frames in his previous start, but the veteran hurler struggled mightily again Saturday. After Colorado staked him to a 3-0 lead through half an inning, Marquez squandered the advantage by allowing three runs in the bottom of the frame, though the final tally was unearned. The right-hander yielded three more run in the second and an unearned run in the third before his outing came to a merciful end. Marquez has now allowed at least five earned runs in six of his past seven starts, pushing his season ERA to an ugly 8.78 mark. The Rockies aren't exactly loaded with pitching depth, so Marquez figures to keep going out to the mound with the hope of getting on track. His next start lines up to be a tough matchup against the Phillies.

Horwitz went 0-for-2 on Saturday against the Phillies.

Horwitz was sidelined for the first seven weeks of the regular season and made his Pirates debut Saturday night. While he occupied the fifth spot in the order, the lefty-hitting Horwitz was pulled for a pinch hitter when lefty Matt Strahm took the mound. While Horwitz could have been pulled as he continues to build up stamina, it's possible this is an early sign that he'll be operating in a platoon at first base.

Roupp allowed five hits and two walks while striking out five over six shutout innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Saturday.

Roupp turned in his third quality start of the season with his first scoreless outing. He threw 59 of 92 pitches for strikes, though a lack of run support led to him coming away without a win for a fifth straight start. He also issued a walk for the first time in three starts. Roupp has been passable this season with a 4.11 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 47:16 K:BB in 46 innings across nine starts, numbers similar to what he posted in a swingman role in 2024. He's had a bit more trouble with the long ball, however, allowing six homers in 2025 compared to just two over 50.1 innings last season. Roupp's next start is projected to be on the road versus the Nationals.

Bogaerts went 3-for-4 with two stolen bases in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Mariners.

Bogaerts had slumped a bit over his previous five games, going 2-for-15 with four walks in that span. He rapped out three singles and added two steals Saturday in an attempt to spark the Padres' offense, but it didn't amount to a comeback. The shortstop is up to eight steals this season without getting caught. His career high is 19 thefts in 2023, a number he's on pace to easily surpass if he stays active on the basepaths. He's added a .252/.339/.371 slash line with three home runs, 20 RBI, 20 runs scored and nine doubles across 44 contests.

Yates left Saturday's game against the Angels due to right hamstring tightness, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

Yates struggled in his outing Saturday before exiting with the training staff. A stint on the injured list is still possible, though it is positive that the injury is not related to his arm. Yates' loss would be significant as the Dodgers are already without other high-leverage relievers such as Blake Treinen (forearm), Evan Phillips (elbow) and Michael Kopech (shoulder).

Sheets went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Mariners.

Sheets has hit well in May, going 16-for-47 (.340) over 13 contests this month. He opened the scoring Saturday with a solo shot off Emerson Hancock in the fourth inning. Sheets is up to six homers, 23 RBI, 17 runs scored, one stolen base and a .290/.343/.481 slash line over 41 games. He continues to share designated hitter and first base with Luis Arraez, with most of Sheets' off days coming versus left-handed pitchers.

Pivetta allowed a run on two hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings in a no-decision versus the Mariners on Saturday.

Pivetta limited the damage to a Rowdy Tellez solo home run in the fifth inning. The Padres' bullpen couldn't do the same in the 4-1 loss, but Pivetta won't have to wear the loss, as he exited with the game tied at 1-1. This was a good bounce back for the 32-year-old, who gave up a season-high six runs in a loss to the Rockies in his previous start. This was his fifth quality start of the season but his first since April 22 versus the Tigers. Pivetta has a 2.86 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 56:15 K:BB across 50.1 innings through nine starts this year.

Myers (1-1) took the loss against Minnesota on Saturday, allowing four runs on 11 hits and no walks while striking out four batters over 3.2 innings.

As a result of Jose Quintana (shoulder) landing on the injured list, Myers moved back into the rotation after being sent down to Triple-A on Sunday. However, Myers endured his worst outing of the campaign, as the red-hot Twins tagged him for 11 hits, including two doubles and a homer. Myers did manage to avoid walking any batters, but he notched just four whiffs and needed 71 pitches to complete 3.2 frames. It remains to be seen if Myers will get another turn in the rotation, as Aaron Civale (hamstring) could be activated off the injured list as soon as the coming week.

Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional run and two walks in Saturday's loss to the Red Sox.

Ozuna entered Saturday having gone hitless over his past two games, but he snapped that stretch with a 417-foot solo homer in the first frame. The veteran DH added two walks and has now drawn an MLB-high 39 free passes this season. Ozuna's batting average is down a bit at .260 so far this season, but his OBP sits at .415 -- which is on pace for the second-highest mark of his career.

Baldwin went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against Boston in a loss Saturday.

Baldwin hit one of three Atlanta homers off Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito, slugging a 416-foot two-run shot in the third inning. The rookie catcher has been scorching at the plate of late -- over his past four games, he's batting a sizzling .625 (10-for-16) with two home runs and five RBI. Baldwin's hot stretch extends even further -- through 11 games in May, he's batting .556 (15-for-27) with three long balls and eight RBI. His performance has led to Baldwin moving into a timeshare with Sean Murphy behind the plate, as the pair has alternated starts for Atlanta's past eight games.
