Civale (7-9) took the loss against Arizona on Saturday, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out two batters over 4.1 innings.

Civale struggled with his control in the outing, throwing just 51 of 91 pitches for strikes and issuing three free passes. He also got dinged for a pair of home runs, which accounted for all three runs against him. It was the first time the right-hander has given up multiple homers in a game since July 21, and Saturday's outing was the first time he has failed to complete five frames since Aug. 23. Civale had been pitching well coming into the contest, posting a 2.42 ERA and 0.99 WHIP over 22.1 innings across his previous four starts.

Gonsolin (elbow) allowed just one walk over three innings while striking out six in his rehab outing Saturday with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Making his third rehab start, Gonsolin delivered his best outing yet, racking up as many strikeouts as he had across his first two appearances with Oklahoma City. The 30-year-old right-hander is nearing the finish line in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and he appears poised to return from the 60-day injured list in the final week of the season and rejoin the Dodgers in some capacity. Since he tossed just 45 pitches Saturday, Gonsolin isn't stretched out for a traditional starting role, so an assignment to the bullpen could be more likely once he's activated.

Kelly was removed from Saturday's game against the Brewers due to a right calf cramp.

Kelly had thrown 72 pitches through five scoreless innings and was set to come out for the sixth, but after a long discussion on the mound, he was pulled from the game. He finished with six strikeouts while allowing just two hits. Kelly has dealt with leg cramps in the past, and he was forced to leave his start against the Rangers on Sept. 11 due to hamstring cramping. It's unclear whether his current injury will force him to miss his next start in the rotation.

Kelly left Saturday's game against the Brewers after five innings with an apparent injury, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Kelly was visited by trainers on the mound before leaving the game. The 35-year-old has been forced to exit games early in the past due to leg cramps, with the last instance taking place Sept. 11 against the Rangers. Kelly finishes the contest having thrown five scoreless innings while allowing just two hits and striking out six batters. Joe Mantiply came in for Kelly in the top of the sixth inning.

Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 9-0 win over the Royals.

Yastrzemski's three-run blast in the sixth inning was the fifth long ball of the game for the Giants. The 34-year-old has gone hitless in four of his past 10 contests but has also homered five times and driven in 11 runs in that span. On the season, he's batting .235 with 18 long balls, 56 RBI, 58 runs scored and three steals across 451 plate appearances.

Roupp (1-1) earned the win against the Royals on Saturday, allowing three hits and three walks with three strikeouts over five scoreless innings.

Roupp was given a 1-0 lead in the first inning and pitched well enough to earn his first major-league victory. The 26-year-old has completed five frames in each of his three starts this season and has allowed just two earned runs across 20 September innings. On the year, he owns a 2.70 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 43:24 K:BB across 46.2 total innings between the rotation and bullpen.

Wade went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Saturday's 9-0 win over the Royals.

Wade took Brady Singer deep twice to register his first multi-homer effort of the season. The 30-year-old has been productive through 15 September contests, logging four multi-hit efforts, homering three times and driving in 10 runs. On the season, he is hitting .267 with eight long balls, 33 RBI, 44 runs scored and two steals across 378 plate appearances.

Chapman went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Saturday's 9-0 win over the Royals.

Chapman celebrated being a new father by homering in the fourth and sixth innings. The third baseman has hit safely in 10 of 13 September contests with five long balls and two steals. On the season, he's batting .249 with 26 home runs, 75 RBI, 95 runs scored and 15 stolen bases across 621 plate appearances.

Senga (calf) threw one scoreless inning while striking out two batters in his rehab outing with Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Senga was slated to throw 35 pitches over one or two innings Saturday, but he had a long break following his one frame of work due to Syracuse scoring eight runs in the next half-inning. Barring any setbacks, the 31-year-old right-hander could come off the injured list and join the Mets' bullpen for the final games of the regular season.

Contreras was held out of Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks due to finger and hip injuries, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Contreras' injuries appear to be minor and he wanted to play Saturday, but the Brewers will rest the 26-year-old catcher for at least one contest. He could be back as soon as Sunday for the series finale, but with the Brewers scheduled for an off day Monday, he could be held out for additional rest until the start of the upcoming road series against the Pirates on Tuesday. Since Sept. 1, Contreras has slashed .286/.397/.500 with three home runs and 12 RBI across 69 plate appearances.
