Liberatore (2-2) earned the win against the Brewers on Friday, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits while striking out four across six innings. He did not issue a walk.

Liberatore got through the first five innings with ease, allowing just two baserunners over that span. His shutout efforts were dashed in the sixth inning on a Christian Yelich RBI single, and Liberatore was tagged for a second run after being lifted in the seventh. It was Liberatore's third straight quality start and fourth of the season, and his 0.97 WHIP through 31 innings is ninth best in the National League among qualified starters. He's tentatively slated to start next week on the road against the Reds.

Patrick (1-2) took the loss against the Cardinals on Friday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two in 4.1 innings.

Patrick retired nine of the first 11 batters he faced, but his shutout efforts ended in the fourth inning on a Nolan Gorman sacrifice fly, and Patrick was tagged for another run after being lifted in the fifth. Patrick hasn't given up more than two earned runs in any of his five starts this season and has a 2.45 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB across 25.2 innings. Patrick is tentatively slated to start against the White Sox next week, though it's unclear whether he will get another turn in the Brewers' rotation after Tobias Myers was activated from the 15-day injured list Thursday.

Quantrill (2-2) picked up the win Friday against the Mariners after allowing four runs on five hits and no walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

Although the soft-throwing right-hander did induce 12 whiffs while not yielding a walk, he struggled with his command a bit Friday. Quantrill gave up two home runs, a second-inning solo shot to Dylan Moore and a three-run jack to Jorge Polanco in the sixth. Quantrill holds a poor 7.83 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 13:9 K:BB over 23 innings in 2025, so he won't be a recommended fantasy option in his next scheduled start on the road versus the Dodgers.

King (3-1) took the loss Friday against the Rays after allowing one unearned run on four hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out nine.

King was impressive despite being saddled with his first loss Friday, generating 14 whiffs en route to his third outing this year without giving up an earned run. The lone run scored by Taylor Walls went unearned due to a Xander Bogaerts throwing error to open the third inning, and the right-hander fanned at least seven in his third straight start. King boasts a 2.18 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 40:11 K:BB over 33 innings this season, setting him up as a strong fantasy option in a soft matchup versus the Pirates for his next scheduled outing.

Sanchez (forearm) felt fine after playing catch Friday and will throw a bullpen session Sunday, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Sanchez was pulled from his start Tuesday against the Mets due to forearm soreness, an issue which is sometimes the first sign of a problem serious enough to require Tommy John surgery. While that worst-case scenario probably remains in play, the news has been largely positive since Tuesday. He felt better enough by Wednesday that the Phillies elected not to send him for an MRI, and he was allowed to throw just three days after the initial incident. If Sunday's bullpen session causes no further issues, he could wind up avoiding the injured list, though he won't start Tuesday against the Nationals as previously scheduled.

The Brewers are expected to select Cameron's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Cameron has been hot in the minors since being traded from Baltimore on April 7, slashing .372/.417/.837 with five homers, 16 RBI, nine runs scored and three steals across 10 games with the Sounds. He'll help give the Brewers some depth in the outfield, though he could get opportunities to start if Garrett Mitchell (oblique) ends up on the injured list.

Stanek (0-1) was charged with the loss and a blown save Friday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on two hits in one-third of an inning.

With Edwin Diaz (hip) unavailable, Stanek was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning. However, the right-hander gave up a leadoff triple to Dylan Crews, who'd score on a Jose Tena base hit, before the Nats rallied to score the winning run with two outs. It was the first rough outing this year for Stanek, who sports a 2.79 ERA with a 1.24 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB across 9.2 innings. He'll continue to serve as a primary setup option for the Mets when Diaz is healthy.

Conine will undergo surgery on his left shoulder Tuesday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Conine will meet with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday before his operation, and afterward we may know more about the 27-year-old's chances of returning at some point this season. He had been slashing .281/.352/.438 through 71 plate appearances but was placed directly on the 60-day injured list Sunday after dislocating his shoulder.

Finnegan was charged with a blown save Friday against the Mets, allowing one hit in one-third of an inning.

Finnegan was tasked with securing a four-out save Friday, inheriting a bases-loaded jam with two outs in the eighth. He gave up a bloop hit to Mark Vientos that went past a diving Dylan Crews, resulting in a three-run triple. While it was no real fault of his own, it still goes down as the first blown save of the year for Finnegan. The veteran closer has gotten off to a strong start this season, converting nine saves while posting a 1.64 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB across his first 11 innings.

Senga did not factor into the decision Friday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks across six innings. He struck out five.

Senga hadn't allowed a run in three straight starts (17.2 innings) coming into Friday. He gave up two runs in his first three innings before blanking the Nats over his final three frames, securing a quality start. Senga's ERA sits at a sparkling 1.26 with a 1.05 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB through his first five outings (28.2 innings) this year. He's currently lined up for a home matchup with the Diamondbacks in his next start.
