Foster Griffin - Let down by defense Saturday Griffin (3-1) took the loss Saturday, giving up three unearned runs on three hits and four walks over six innings as the Nationals fell 4-1 to the Brewers. He struck out three.
Impact A Brady House error with two outs in the first inning led to a three-spot for Milwaukee, but Griffin shook it off and kept the visitors off the board until he had his third straight quality start in the books. The southpaw will take an impressive 2.27 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB through 39.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next weekend in Miami.

Jackson Chourio - Removed for precautionary reasons Chourio (hand/foot) was removed from Saturday's rehab game with Triple-A Nashville for precautionary reasons, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Chourio played in his third rehab contest Saturday and fouled a ball off his foot in the third inning before being removed from the game in the fourth. It sounds like he avoided any sort of injury as he trends toward activation from the 10-day injured list next week, perhaps as soon as Monday against the Cardinals.

Abner Uribe - Notches third save Uribe gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his third save of the season in a 4-1 win over the Nationals.
Impact A David Hamilton error made things interesting and allowed the first two batters in the ninth to reach base for Washington, but Uribe buckled down and retired the next three batters. Trevor Megill worked a perfect eighth against the Nats' 2-3-4 hitters while Uribe faced the bottom part of the order, so both high-octane relievers could still be in the closing mix, but it's the latter who's handled his team's last three ninth-inning save chances. On the season, Uribe sports a 3.65 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB over 12.1 innings.

Kyle Harrison - Delivers quality start in third win Harrison (3-1) picked up the win in Saturday's 4-1 victory over the Nationals, allowing one run on seven hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out five.
Impact After a rough week for the Brewers rotation that saw both Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) and Jacob Misiorowski (hamstring) leave their starts early, Harrison gave his team some much-needed length. The southpaw tossed 66 of 93 pitches for strikes en route to his second straight quality start, and he still has yet to give up more than two runs in any outing this season. Harrison will take a 2.12 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 35:9 K:BB through 29.2 innings into his next trip to the mound, which is set to come at home next weekend against the Yankees.

Jackson Chourio - Exits Saturday's rehab game Chourio (hand) left Saturday's rehab game with Triple-A Nashville due to a foot injury, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Chourio fouled a ball off his foot during the third inning of Saturday's game. He stayed in the game to finish his plate appearance but was replaced in the fourth, and he'll undergo further tests on his foot. Chourio is in Triple-A on a rehab assignment as part of his recovery from left hamate bone surgery that landed him on the 10-day injured list before the start of the regular season.
