Christian Walker exits with apparent injury

Snell, returning from surgery to remove debris from his elbow, also walked one and gave up a single in the 32-pitch outing. His fastball averaged 95.3 mph, which is right around his norm (95.1 mph last year, 95.9 mph in 2024). This was expected to be a short outing, so it’s probably no issue that he exited in the second. He’s expected to make three or four more rehab starts before rejoining the Dodgers.

That saves the Giants almost exactly $1 million based on his slot value. Flora, the first pitcher taken in the 2026 draft, had a 1.06 ERA for UC Santa Barbara this year. It’s unclear if the Giants will have him pitch some in the minors before the end of the year or if they’ll hold off until next season.

Harris’ home run was his 17th of the season. He hit a solo shot off MacKenzie Gore in the third inning. Harris is 21-for-66 (.318) with three home runs and 14 RBI in 14 games in July. He’s hitting .299 with an .829 OPS and 57 RBI on the year.

Pederson’s home run was his 16th of the season. He hit a solo shot off Owen Murphy to leadoff the game. Pederson was just 4-for-23 (.174) in nine games in July entering play Saturday. He’s hitting .239 with an .812 OPS and 35 RBI.

Murphy gave up five hits, walked two and struck out two. He started what was essentially a bullpen game for the Braves. Murphy managed to pitch into the third inning, but gave up three runs in his third big league appearance. He’s one of the Braves’ top pitching prospects, but Murphy is unlikely to have much fantasy value in a bullpen role.

Latz entered the game with a man on first and two outs in the eighth inning. He got Drake Baldwin to line out before tossing a perfect ninth inning that included a strikeout of Matt Olson. Latz has 19 saves and a 1.57 ERA this year.

Gore gave up six hits, walked one and struck out seven. He improved to 6-8 with the win. Gore allowed four runs in the second inning and another run in the third inning, but managed to settle in and pitch into the sixth inning. He pitched long enough to get the win. Gore has a 4.80 ERA, though his 3.93 xFIP points to better starts in the future. He’s lined up to face the Mariners at home next weekend.

Marte scored on a wild pitch in the third inning to put the Diamondbacks up 2-0. After his RBI single in the fifth inning, it was 5-0 Arizona in a game the Diamondbacks would go on to win 5-3. Marte is hitting .259 with a .773 OPS and 55 RBI.

This means Bradish will pitch in Boston instead of in Houston, which seems like a downgrade right now. It does give Bradish a night to celebrate his $90 million extension, however.

May gave up eight hits, walked four and struck out six. He fell to 5-7 with the loss. Saturday wasn’t May’s best start and it was the third time he’s allowed at least five runs in his last five starts. The 28-year-old right-hander has a 4.78 ERA and a 3.89 xFIP. May’s .328 BABIP allowed and 63 percent left on base percentage also point to him being unlucky this year. He’s lined up to face the Diamondbacks at home next week.
