  • Daniel Hudson RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Daniel Hudson: Notches fourth save

    Hudson saved Friday's 6-1 win against the Mets, allowing one hit with two strikeouts in 1.1 scoreless innings.

    Hudson entered a four-run game with two out and two on in the eighth inning and induced a Francisco Lindor groundout to neutralize the threat. Manager Dave Roberts opted to stay with the 35-year-old for the ninth, keeping the veteran righty in line for the save despite the Dodger win being by more than three runs. Hudson has now recorded saves in two of his last three appearances and has thrown 7.2 scoreless innings since consecutive losses on May 11 and 12.

  • Kenley Jansen RP | DET

    Braves' Kenley Jansen: Notches 13th save

    Jansen saved Friday's 3-1 victory over the Rockies, allowing an unearned run one hit with two strikeouts in one inning.

    Jansen surrendered an RBI single to Yonathan Daza but kept Colorado off the board while recording two strikeouts after Los Angeles scored three in the top of the10th. It was a nice rebound from Tuesday's blown save and five earned runs surrendered in his last six innings.

  • Zack Littell RP | ARI

    Giants' Zack Littell: Credited with win

    Littell (1-1) earned the win Friday over the Marlins. He allowed a hit and struck out four in two innings.

    The Giants went with a bullpen game Friday, but their offense established a large lead early. Littell pitched the fifth and sixth innings in this contest. He's gone 5.2 innings without allowing a run over his last four appearances as he continues to bounce back from a rough May. Overall, the right-hander has a 4.64 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 19:2 K:BB through 21.1 innings in a versatile middle-innings role.

  • John Brebbia RP | COL

    Giants' John Brebbia: Tosses shutout frame

    Brebbia yielded a hit and struck out one batter in a scoreless inning as the opener for Friday's win over Miami.

    Brebbia allowed a single to Garrett Cooper but turned in a scoreless frame to help set the tone for San Francisco's big win. The 32-year-old lowered his season ERA to 3.18 with a 22:6 K:BB through 23 appearances.

  • Marlins' Elieser Hernandez: Coughs up four homers

    Hernandez allowed eight runs on eight hits and two walks over 4.1 innings out of the bullpen in Friday's loss to the Giants. He struck out seven and did not factor in the decision.

    Hernandez entered the game in the second inning after Richard Bleier served as the opener. He quickly gave up four runs in the frame, including a three-run homer from Mike Yastrzemski. The 27-year-old then allowed a home run in each of the third, fifth and sixth innings. Hernandez now owns an unsightly 6.75 ERA through 48 innings this season. He's currently projected to face the Nationals at home next week but it's unclear if Miami will give him another turn in the rotation.

  • Blake Treinen RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Plays catch

    Treinen (shoulder) played catch Friday at light intensity, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    This is the first time he has thrown since injuring his shoulder in mid-April. The session only lasted about five minutes but he came out feeling good and is going to continue with a throwing progression.

  • Ryan Rolison RP | CHC

    Rockies' Ryan Rolison: Slated for surgery

    Rolison (shoulder) will undergo surgery in the coming weeks, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

    Rolison had been sidelined with a shoulder injury since the end of spring training, and the Rockies said this week that he hadn't made as much progress in his recovery as the team had hoped. After visiting with a specialist, the southpaw will undergo a procedure that will likely force him to miss the rest of the season. Rolison hasn't yet made his major-league debut, but it's possible that he'll join Colorado in 2023 as long as he's back to full health.

  • Brewers' Peter Strzelecki: Sent back to Nashville

    Strzelecki was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

    Strzelecki made his major-league debut Thursday against the Padres, and he allowed a run on two hits and two walks while striking out three in two relief innings to earn the win. However, the 27-year-old will head back to the minors after Luke Barker was recalled Friday.

  • Caleb Kilian RP | PHI

    Cubs' Caleb Kilian: Making MLB debut Saturday

    Kilian will start Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cardinals, Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

    The top pitching prospect in the organization, Kilian's arrival in the majors had been expected this summer. He has a 2.20 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 32:12 K:BB in 32.2 innings over his last seven starts at Triple-A. It took him a few starts to establish the mid-90s fastball velocity he finished last year's Arizona Fall League with en route to MVP honors of the championship game. If Kilian performs well in Saturday's start, he could be up for good.

  • Marlins' Elieser Hernandez: Available behind opener

    Hernandez will be available out of the bullpen for Friday's game against the Giants, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Hernandez was listed as the starting pitcher for Friday's matchup, but Richard Bleier will serve as the opener against San Francisco. However, Hernandez will be available to serve as a bulk reliever since he isn't dealing with an injury.
