Stewart went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and six RBI in Saturday's 10-2 rout over the Yankees.

The rookie slugger struck out in his first plate appearance but tormented New York the rest of the afternoon, putting a two-run double off the left-field wall in the third inning and adding a sacrifice fly in the fifth. Stewart wrapped up his big day with a bases-loaded two-bagger to the left-center gap in the eighth. The six RBI tied his career high, a mark he first set April 15 against the Giants, and through 75 contests this season he's slashing .252/.346/.457 with 14 homers, 11 steals, 40 runs and 53 RBI.

Sale took a no-decision Saturday against the Brewers, allowing two unearned runs on five hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

A fielding error by Ozzie Albies kept both of Milwaukee's sixth-inning runs off of Sale's ledger, so Saturday went down as the hurler's first start with no earned runs since May 14 versus the Cubs. The left-hander turned in his 11th consecutive outing with at least five innings and six punchouts, and he's given up more than two earned runs just one time during that stretch. Sale will carry an exceptional 2.14 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 99:21 K:BB over 84 innings into a soft matchup in San Franciso his next time out.

Abbott (5-4) picked up the win in Saturday's 10-2 rout of the Yankees, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out six.

The southpaw served up a solo shot to Paul Goldschmidt in the first inning, but Abbott shut down the home side from there and got plenty of run support before exiting after 97 pitches (59 strikes). It was his first win since May 20, but Abbott has given up three runs or fewer in 10 straight trips to the mound, a stretch in which he's delivered a 2.41 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 45:26 K:BB over 56 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is set to come on the road next weekend in Pittsburgh.

Lopez went 1-for-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Giants.

Lopez got things going early, stealing second base after reaching on an error in the first inning and scoring the game's first run. According to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com, he then became the first player this season to reach 100 hits with a single in the fourth. The 27-year-old has hit safely in 14 of 17 June contests, batting .338 with seven extra-base hits, seven RBI, 15 runs scored and five stolen bases during that stretch. On the year, he leads the majors with a .332 average to go along with five homers, 32 RBI, 47 runs scored and 15 steals across 324 plate appearances.

The Dodgers recalled McDermott from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Acquired in a trade with the Orioles in April, McDermott made a lone appearance out of the Dodgers' bullpen during a prior stint with the big-league club. He has put up ugly ratios in the minors this season but has also struck out 30 batters in just 16.2 innings with Oklahoma City. McDermott replaces Blake Treinen (elbow) on the active roster.

The Dodgers placed Treinen on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to right elbow inflammation.

Treinen seemed to be rounding into form for the Dodgers, posting a 2.61 ERA and 1.16 WHIP to go along with three wins and a save over his last 13 appearances, but his campaign is now on hold due to the elbow injury. Chayce McDermott was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to replace Treinen on the active roster and in the Los Angeles bullpen.

Schmitt went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles and two RBI in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Marlins.

Schmitt tied the game with a solo shot in the fourth inning before adding an RBI double in the eighth. He's now hit safely in six consecutive games, recording multiple hits five times with four extra-base hits, three RBI, three runs scored and two stolen bases during that stretch. On the year, the 27-year-old is slashing .293/.322/.531 with 16 homers, 41 RBI, 34 runs scored and seven steals across 289 plate appearances.

McDonald (2-5) took the loss against the Marlins on Saturday, allowing five runs (three earned) on three hits and three walks with one strikeout over three innings.

McDonald entered the fourth inning in a 2-2 tie but was unable to record an out and was ultimately charged with three runs in the frame. He lacked command, throwing just 39 of 69 pitches for strikes while generating only two whiffs in his shortest outing of the season. He's lost five of his past six starts and has a 6.75 ERA during that span. The 25-year-old will carry a 4.93 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 42:18 K:BB across 45.2 innings into a difficult home matchup against Atlanta next weekend.

Fairbanks earned the save in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Giants, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Fairbanks was called upon to slam the door for a second straight night, needing just 15 pitches to protect a three-run lead. The 32-year-old has now converted his past six save chances, holding opponents scoreless in nine of 12 appearances during that stretch. On the year, he's 11-for-13 in save opportunities with a 6.14 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 31:11 K:BB across 22 innings.

Meyer (8-0) earned the win against the Giants on Saturday, allowing two runs on seven hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over five innings.

Meyer threw 66 of 98 pitches for strikes while generating nine whiffs and limiting the Giants to just four hard-hit balls, all of which went for extra-base hits. The 27-year-old has yielded just six earned runs through four June outings, going 3-0 with a 28:9 K:BB over 23.1 innings during that stretch. He'll take a 2.80 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 102:34 K:BB across 90 innings into a road matchup against the Cardinals next weekend.
