Myers pitched 7.1 scoreless innings, allowing three hits and no walks while striking out nine batters, in a no-decision against Cincinnati on Saturday.

Myers and Reds starter Nick Martinez both shined in the outing -- neither gave up a run, and the hurlers combined to allow just four hits over 14.1 frames. Three of those hits were surrendered by Myers, but none went for extra bases, and he notched a season-high nine punchouts to Martinez's seven. Myers has now allowed just two runs over 16.1 frames across his past three starts, but he doesn't have a win to show for it. Nonetheless, he's more than solidified his spot in the rotation since returning from a short stint in the minors June 5. Across 11 starts since that date, the right-hander has posted a sparkling 1.75 ERA and 0.93 WHIP over 67 frames.

Perdomo went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-1 win over the Phillies.

Perdomo has gone 18-for-40 (.450) over his last 12 contests, a span that includes a trio of three-hit efforts. He was hitting just .246 on July 28, but he's up to .291 now with a .732 OPS, one home run, 13 doubles, one triple, three stolen bases, 21 RBI and 34 runs scored across 205 plate appearances this year. His hot bat has helped him maintain a starting role at shortstop.

McCarthy went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Saturday's 11-1 win over the Phillies.

McCarthy hit two-run blasts in the fifth and seventh innings to help the Diamondbacks pull off a blowout win. This was his fifth multi-hit effort since July 30 -- over 11 games in that span, the outfielder has gone 15-for-36 (.417) with five extra-base hits and nine RBI. McCarthy isn't known for his power, having never hit more than eight homers in a single season. He's at six homers, 32 RBI, 44 runs scored, 16 stolen bases and a .298/.371/.441 slash line through 99 contests in 2024.

Carroll went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 11-1 win over the Phillies.

Carroll's blast capped off a seven-run seventh inning for the Diamondbacks. He has hit safely in 14 of his last 17 games, going 16-for-60 (.267) with four homers, four triples and nine RBI in that span. The outfielder is up to 10 homers, 44 RBI, 78 runs scored, 21 stolen bases and a .217/.308/.374 slash line through 114 contests this season.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk in a loss to the Royals on Saturday.

Goldschmidt gave the Cardinals an early lead with his two-run blast to center field in the second inning, but Kansas City went on to score the game's next six runs. The long ball was the 18th of the season for Goldschmidt as he pushes toward the 11th 20-homer campaign of his career. Goldschmidt has gone 4-for-10 with four RBI over his past three contests following a rough five-game stretch during which he failed to get a hit across 17 at-bats.

Nola (11-6) allowed four runs (three earned) on nine hits and three walks while striking out four over five innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.

Nola yielded multiple homers for the sixth time this season and has now given up nine long balls over his last eight starts. He's lost his last two outings and hasn't won in five starts, giving up 15 runs (14 earned) over 27.2 innings in the longer span. For the season, Nola has pitched to a 3.60 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 138:37 K:BB through 147.1 innings over 24 starts. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Nationals.

Walker earned a save in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Tigers, allowing one hit and one walk with two strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning.

Walker was named the Giants' closer Friday night and immediately found himself in his new role. He put two runners on with one out but responded with two strikeouts to register his first save of the year. The 28-year-old owns an impressive 2.20 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 73:14 K:BB across 61.1 innings this season and should be rostered in nearly all fantasy formats now that he has the potential for saves.

Pallante allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks while striking out four batters over 5.2 innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Saturday.

Pallante was clinging to a one-run lead entering the sixth inning and retired the first two batters in that frame before issuing a walk and surrendering a single. He was subsequently relieved by Ryan Fernandez, who promptly served up a Freddy Fermin single that tied the game and eliminated Pallante from contention for a victory. Despite issuing a season-high four walks, Pallante bounced back pretty well from the five-run, 4.2-frame clunker he put up in his previous start, and he'll likely remain in the rotation until Lance Lynn (knee) is ready to return -- though that might not be very far off.

Fitzgerald 1-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Tigers.

Fitzgerald stole second and third in the seventh inning and has two multi-steal games in his past three contests after swiping just one base in July. The 26-year-old has remained scorching in August, going 13-for-37 with three home runs, five thefts and five multi-hit efforts across nine games. For the year, he is hitting .313 with 12 homers and 12 steals in just 176 plate appearances.

Webb (10-8) earned the win against the Tigers on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk with eight strikeouts over seven innings.

Webb was dialed in, throwing 78 of 110 pitches for strikes and generating an impressive 17 whiffs. Including a complete-game shutout July 31, the 27-year-old has allowed two earned runs across 21.2 innings during a current three-game win streak. On the year, he owns a 3.32 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 133:40 K:BB across 157 innings and lines up for a matchup with Atlanta next week.
