Kelly (2-3) allowed one run on three hits and three walks while striking out six over seven innings to earn the win over the Mets on Saturday.

Kelly had been knocked around in his previous three outings, giving up a total of 19 runs across 13.2 innings. He bounced back in a big way Saturday, delivering his best start of the year in a game where he had little margin for error. Performances like this one haven't been the norm in 2026 for the veteran right-hander, who is at a 7.62 ERA, 1.92 WHIP and 20:18 K:BB across 26 innings. Kelly's next start is lined up to be a daunting road assignment in Colorado.

Holmes (4-3) allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.

Holmes ran into some trouble in the third inning, giving up a two-run single to Ildemaro Vargas, and that ended up being the difference in the game. Over eight starts this season, Holmes has yet to allow more than two runs in any outing. He's at a 1.86 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 37:16 K:BB through 48.1 innings. Holmes will look to keep rolling in his next start, which is projected to be at home versus the Yankees.

Karros went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a double Saturday against the Phillies.

Karros doubled in a pair in the fourth inning, which also extended his hitting streak to nine games. He's gone 10-for-32 with three doubles, six RBI and four runs scored in that span. Even with that hot stretch, Karros is hitting only .223 with nine RBI across 135 plate appearances on the year. He has been Colorado's primary third baseman all season, though he has been out of the lineup in two of the team's last six games against right-handers.

Harrison allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out six batters over four innings in a no-decision against the Yankees on Saturday.

Harrison's outing began poorly, as he gave up a leadoff homer to Paul Goldschmidt in the first inning. The lefty hurler bounced back to an extent after that, giving up just one more run across his four frames, though he also issued four free passes and needed an inefficient 77 pitches. His final frame was particularly stressful, as New York loaded the bases with nobody out, but Harrison was able to save his final line from blowing up by yielding just one run. He missed out on picking up a third straight victory, but Harrison still carries a strong 2.41 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 41:13 K:BB through 33.2 innings spanning seven starts.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that he expects Stewart (foot) will be out for approximately three weeks, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Stewart landed on the 15-day IL earlier in the day due to a left foot bone spur. Given the estimated recovery timeline, Stewart will be on the shelf until at least late May, though it's unclear whether he'll need to go on a rehab assignment before rejoining the Dodgers.

Peterson will operate in a bulk-relief role in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

As was the case in the Mets' 4-2 win over the Rockies this past Monday, Huascar Brazoban will serve as the team's opener. Peterson took the mound after Brazoban and Austin Warren in Monday's contest and ended up picking up the win after allowing two runs on three hits and no walks while striking out six across four frames. Peterson has yielded two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four outings but still sits at a 6.29 ERA and 1.60 WHIP across 34.1 innings this season.

Brazoban will serve as the Mets' opening pitcher for Sunday's series finale against the Diamondbacks, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Brazoban operated as the Mets' opener against the Rockies this past Monday, when he tossed one scoreless inning before handing things off to Austin Warren and David Peterson, the latter of whom was credited with the win. The Mets will likely go with a similar setup for Sunday's contest, with Peterson expected to serve in a bulk-relief role after Brazoban is done for the day. Brazoban sports a 1.53 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB across 17.2 innings this season, though he's given up one earned run in three of his last six outings that has spanned seven frames.

Betts (oblique) will travel back to Los Angeles on Sunday and could be activated from the 10-day injured list Monday ahead of the Dodgers' four-game home series against the Giants, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Betts was cleared to embark on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday. He's gone 2-for-5 with a walk and a run scored across two minor-league outings, and it looks like the veteran shortstop has progressed enough in his recovery from a right oblique strain to return to the Dodgers. When Betts is activated off the IL, Hyeseong Kim and Miguel Rojas both stand to lose out on playing time.

Wood went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Marlins.

Wood led off the game with a 442-foot blast and was a consistent contributor in a losing effort. Over his past 10 games, the 23-year-old has posted four multi-hit performances, five extra-base hits, eight runs scored and seven RBI. For the year, he's slashing .243/.395/.526 with 11 homers, 28 RBI, 35 runs scored and seven steals across 190 plate appearances.

Turner went 4-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Rockies.

Turner swiped his first bag since April 21 and logged his second four-hit effort of 2026. The veteran shortstop has been a bit underwhelming so far this year, as his .655 OPS for the year is on pace to easily be a career worst. Turner should still see plenty of run-scoring chances as Philadelphia's primary leadoff man, and he's batting .244 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 24 runs scored and four stolen bases across 164 at-bats.
