Cade Cavalli - Continues to dazzle Cavalli tossed seven scoreless, no-hit innings for High-A Wilmington on Saturday, striking out 15 and walking two.

Impact The 22-year-old set a new career high for K's in the dominant outing, but big strikeout totals are becoming commonplace for Cavalli as he's fanned double-digit batters in three straight starts and four of his last five. On the season, the 2020 first-round pick has a 1.77 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and eye-popping 71:12 K:BB through 40.2 innings, and it would seem like he has little left to prove at this level of the minors.

Kyle Finnegan - Surrenders two in loss Finnegan (2-2) took the 2-1 loss in Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader with San Francisco, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk while only recording one out.

Impact Finnegan was called upon to pitch the eighth inning of a 0-0 tie and proceeded to allow two hits and a walk while only recording one out to take the loss. He had pitched a clean inning in Game 1 of the doubleheader while throwing 16 pitches which could've contributed to the poor showing in Game 2, though Finnegan hadn't pitched since Wednesday. He now owns a 4.05 ERA pitching in mostly low-leverage situations.

Jefry Rodriguez - Four innings of one hit ball Rodriguez started Game 2 of Saturday's 2-1 doubleheader loss to San Francisco, allowing no runs on one hit and three walks with two strikeouts in four innings. He received a no-dec...

Impact Making his first start of 2021 and his first appearance since 2019, Rodriguez engaged in an abbreviated pitcher's duel with the Giants bullpen as the game was tied 0-0 after seven innings. The successful outing may have earned Rodriguez another start with Stephen Strasburg still injured despite being the 27th man for Saturday's doubleheader.

Kyle Schwarber - Clubs 10th long ball Schwarber went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in the 2-0 win over the Giants in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader.

Impact Schwarber opened the bottom of the first inning with a long ball off Kevin Gausman, ultimately providing Washington with all the offense it would need in the first half of the twin bill. The long ball broke an 11-game streak without a homer for the outfielder and was his first time leaving the yard since moving into his new role as the leadoff hitter earlier this week.

Brad Hand - Records 11th save Hand picked up the save in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants, striking out two in a perfect seventh inning.

Erick Fedde - Earns win in return Fedde (4-4) picked up the win in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Giants, allowing four hits while punching out seven in five scoreless innings. He did not issue a wal...

Impact It marked Fedde's first start since May 16, as the right-hander had been on the COVID-19 injured list for nearly four weeks. He was sharp in his return, limiting San Francisco to just four singles while issuing no free passes on 82 pitches. Fedde, who lowered his ERA to 3.86 with Saturday's outing, lines up to start one of the games during next Friday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Daniel Hudson - No long-term concerns Hudson is not concerned about any long-term issues with his elbow, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Hudson woke up Thursday morning with some swelling in his right elbow, but he's had two Tommy John surgeries in his past and said this issue didn't feel at all similar. An MRI confirmed Friday that he wasn't dealing with anything worse than inflammation. Whether or not he's able to return after the minimum 10 days remains to be seen, but it doesn't sounds as though he's in line for a long absence.
