Heliot Ramos LF | SF
Giants' Heliot Ramos: Homers again in win Saturday
Ramos went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run, double, walk and two runs scored in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Nationals.
After going homer-less over the first 19 games of the season, Ramos has gone deep in back-to-back games and has boosted his RBI total to 13 in the process. Ramos had a .185 average on April 3 but has gone 14-for-47 (.298) at the plate over his last 13 games to raise his slash line to .257/.304/.378 with the two homers, 13 RBI, eight runs scored and 5:25 BB:K across 79 trips to the plate. Ramos is striking out in 31.6 percent of his plate appearances after doing so at just a 22.7 percent clip during the 2025 campaign.

Ryan Walker RP | SF
Giants' Ryan Walker: Blows save against Washington
Walker suffered a blown save Saturday against the Nationals, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with two strikeouts across two innings.
With the Giants leading 6-5 headed into the bottom of the ninth, Walker was called on to protect the one-run lead. He gave up a leadoff double to Jorbit Vivas and later the game-tying single to Brady House. Walker allowed two more baserunners in the 10th inning. Prior to Saturday, Walker hadn't entered in a save situation since March 30. Three different Giants are tied for the team lead with one save apiece. Walker has a 4.00 ERA and 10:5 K:BB across nine innings.

Adrian Houser SP | SF
Giants' Adrian Houser: Struggles through 5.2 IP in ND
Houser didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Nationals, allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and two walks with one strikeout across 5.2 innings.
Houser surrendered a leadoff bomb to James Wood and was hammered for five runs before recording five outs. With below-average stuff, Houser relies heavily on location and keeping hitters off balance, and he was unable to do so against Washington. The 33-year-old now owns a 5.40 ERA and uninspiring 11:7 K:BB across 21.2 innings through four starts. Houser is in line to make his next start Friday at home against the Marlins.

Sandy Alcantara SP | MIA
Marlins' Sandy Alcantara: Control issues in Saturday's loss
Alcantara (2-2) took the loss against Milwaukee on Saturday, allowing three runs on five hits and six walks while striking out one batter across five innings.
Alcantara struggled with his command during Saturday's outing, resulting in at least two Brewers batters reaching base safely in four of five innings. He escaped a bases-loaded situation unscathed in the third but gave up his first run in the fourth before yielding a three-run homer to Brice Turang in the fifth frame. Alcantara had as many walks against Milwaukee as he did across his first four starts of the regular season. It was also the first time he did not complete the sixth inning this season, and he now sits with a 3.06 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB across 35.1 innings. Alcantara will look to snap out of his two-game losing streak in his next start, which is slated for next weekend on the road against the Giants.

De Los Santos will be optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
De Los Santos was recalled April 10 and has started two games since. He has one hit across five at-bats in that span, though he'll return to Jacksonville in a corresponding move for the return of Kyle Stowers (oblique).

Garrett Mitchell CF | MIL
Brewers' Garrett Mitchell: Walked three times Saturday
Mitchell went 0-for-2 with three walks, a steal and a run scored during Milwaukee's 5-2 win over Miami on Saturday.
Mitchell failed to record a hit during Saturday's win, but his discipline at the plate led to him reaching base safely three times in five plate appearances. He also logged his fourth stolen base of the season and first since April 1 against the Rays. Mitchell has an .878 OPS with one home run, 16 RBI and a 15:24 BB:K across 63 plate appearances this season.

Brice Turang 2B | MIL
Brewers' Brice Turang: Drives in three runs Saturday
Turang went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, an RBI single and two walks during the Brewers' 5-2 win over the Marlins on Saturday.
Turang gave the Brewers a 3-1 lead in the fifth after smacking a two-run long ball off Sandy Alcantara, and the former brought home Joey Ortiz on a single in the sixth. It was Turang's fifth multi-hit game of the season, three of which have come over his last six outings. He is slashing .299/.434/.582 with six steals (on eight attempts), four home runs, 14 RBI and a 16:19 BB:K across 84 plate appearances this season.

Abner Uribe RP | MIL
Brewers' Abner Uribe: Clutch save against Miami
Uribe earned the save in the Brewers' 5-2 win over the Marlins on Saturday, when he recorded the final two outs of the ninth inning.
The Brewers held a 5-1 lead going into the ninth, and manager Pat Murphy initially elected to keep Jake Woodford in the game after the latter pitched a scoreless eighth. Woodford proceeded to load the bases on three-straight singles, prompting Murhpy to turn Uribe to record the final two outs. Uribe got Agustin Ramirez to groundout into a fielder's choice that drove in a run, but the right-hander came away with the save after getting Javier Sanoja out. Both of Uribe's saves have come over his last three outings, but Trevor Megill may not have been available Saturday -- he had worked the prior two days and converted his last save chance Friday. Uribe is making a case for more ninth-inning work, at the very least.

Brandon Woodruff SP | MIL
Brewers' Brandon Woodruff: Another quality start
Woodruff (2-0) earned the win against the Marlins on Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out four across seven innings.
It was a strong outing out of Woodruff, who tossed 70 strikes on 92 pitches while generating 12 whiffs. He limited the Marlins to only four baserunners, with his lone blemish coming in the second inning, when he yielded an RBI single to Connor Norby. Woodruff has logged a qulaity start in two consecutive outings and has allowed three earned runs or less in three of four starts this season. He'll take a 3.52 ERA and 0.96 WHIP (over 23 innings) into his next start, which is slated for next weekend at home against the Pirates.

Blake Treinen RP | LAD
Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Struck by errant batted ball
Treinen was struck in the head by a batted ball during practice before Saturday's game against Colorado, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Treinen is being evaluated for a potential head injury, but the team believes he is okay. However, it remains unclear if he will be available for Saturday's matchup against the Rockies. While Treinen hasn't figured into the saves picture for the Dodgers, he does have four holds without allowing an earned run across 6.2 innings to begin the season.
