Woo allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over six innings in a no-decision versus San Francisco on Saturday.

Woo allowed just one run over his initial five frames but then surrendered a pair of solo homers in the sixth. He was down 3-0 when he departed, but a late Seattle rally took him off the hook. While Woo wasn't able to nab a victory, he did record his 11th quality start of the season while displaying good swing-and-miss stuff with 14 whiffs. He's lined up to make his next start on the road against the Rangers.

Meyer took a no-decision Saturday against Milwaukee, allowing two runs on three hits and three walks in three innings. He struck out five.

Meyer labored Saturday, needing 74 pitches to complete three innings in his shortest outing of the campaign. The Marlins opted to give the 27-year-old right-hander extra rest ahead of the All-Star break, skipping the hurler's final turn through the rotation of the first half, and Meyer showed signs of rust in the aftermath. Meyer is set to revert back to normal rest ahead of his next appearance against the Padres, still holding a strong 2.68 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 121:41 K:BB over a career-high 111 innings.

Gore (6-6) earned the win Saturday against Atlanta, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Gore hardly pitched well enough to deserve the victory, notably hitting three batters Saturday, but he received plenty of run support to get him off the hook. Although the 27-year-old southpaw has registered seven punchouts in three of his past four outings, he's given up at least five runs in each of those starts. Gore is putting together something of a bizarre campaign, holding a career-worst 4.80 ERA in spite of a career-best .236 opponent batting average as well as an exceptional 122:42 K:BB across 110.2 innings.

Eovaldi (illness) will start Sunday's game against Atlanta, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Eovaldi was sick over the All-Star break but feels significantly better this weekend and is ready to roll for Sunday's series finale. The veteran right-hander posted a 9-7 record, 4.04 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 120:26 K:BB across 111.1 innings spanning 18 starts prior to the Midsummer Classic. In a dozen starts since April 29, Eovaldi has a 3.32 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 88:17 K:BB across 78.2 frames.

Canning (1-8) took the loss Saturday against the Royals, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks across 3.2 innings. He struck out four.

Canning hasn't been able to get through five innings in any of his last five outings -- he's allowed 13 runs across 17.1 innings in that span. Overall, the right-hander's ERA sits at 6.67 with a 1.62 WHIP and 59:32 K:BB across 59.1 innings this season. Canning's currently in line to face the Marlins on the road his next time out.

Severino's (shoulder) recent MRI showed signs of healing, but manager Mark Kotsay indicated Saturday that the right-hander is several weeks away from a potential return to the rotation, Jason Burke of Roundtable.io reports.

Severino has yet to start a throwing program after he was lifted from his May 29 start with a right shoulder strain. "The hope is that the start of the throwing progression goes well and we can continue that, and hopefully build him up before it's too late to have a season for him," Kotsay said Saturday. The Athletics have, by far, the worst team ERA in the majors (6.85) since Severino went down with his injury. Once he's cleared to throw, he's expected to require several rehab starts before rejoining the rotation.

Sandoval didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Rays, allowing five runs (four earned) on nine hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out five.

Sandoval gave up a pair of runs in the second inning before the Rays scored another three in the fourth, highlighted by a Victor Mesa homer. Overall, it was a step back for Sandoval after he allowed just one run across 4.1 innings in his Red Sox debut prior to the All-Star break. Should Sandoval get another start, he'd currently line up to face the Blue Jays at home.

Arrighetti did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-2 extra-innings loss to the Orioles, allowing one run on one hit and four walks with six strikeouts over five innings.

Arrighetti allowed only one hit and battled through control issues, limiting the damage despite throwing just 45 of 85 pitches for strikes. The 26-year-old has issued 16 walks with just a 55 percent strike rate over his past four outings, a stretch that includes two one-run performances and two eight-run blowups. He'll take a 4.34 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 87:48 K:BB across 87 innings this season into a road matchup with the White Sox next weekend.

Smith-Shawver (elbow) allowed four hits and one walk while striking out five across 4.1 scoreless innings during Saturday's rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett.

Smith-Shawver generated 13 whiffs on 72 pitches (43 strikes), and his fastball touched just over 99 mph during Saturday's rehab outing. His rehab assignment is set to run out July 29, so he could make at least a couple of more starts in the minors if Atlanta feels the need to do so. Smith-Shawver is nearing his return from Tommy John surgery that he underwent in June 2025.

Rogers did not factor into the decision in Saturday's 4-2 extra-innings win over the Astros, allowing one run on seven hits and one walk with eight strikeouts over 6.1 innings.

Rogers opened with six scoreless innings before allowing a run in the seventh, throwing 72 of 99 pitches for strikes with 12 whiffs and departing in a 1-1 tie. The 28-year-old picked up where he left off heading into the All-Star break, as he's now logged five quality starts in his past six outings while allowing just five earned runs during that stretch. He'll carry a 4.28 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 77:32 K:BB across 96.2 innings this season into a home matchup with Atlanta next weekend.
