Crowe (2-5) allowed two earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out nine across 5.1 innings, earning the win over the Giants on Saturday.

Crowe allowed three hits in the second inning, leading to one run. His other run allowed came on a solo home run by LaMonte Wade. Crowe's nine strikeouts is a new career high. However, he struggles walking batters with a 4.2 BB/9. The 26-year-old has a 5.89 ERA and a 1.57 WHIP in 65.2 innings.

Jansen pitched the ninth inning of Saturday's 1-0 win against the Rockies, allowing a walk with one strikeout.

Jansen rebounded from three straight blown saves to lock down his first save since July 3, only allowing a two-out walk to Ryan McMahon. The three-time All-Star is tied for fourth in MLB in saves and lowered his ERA to 2.97.

White was recalled by the Dodgers on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

White has bounced between Triple-A Oklahoma and the big-league club this season. He's served primarily as a multi-inning reliever with the Dodgers, posting a 3.93 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 18.1 frames. He's had more success in the minors, and he threw 11 innings while allowing only one earned run since being sent down on July 8. Jimmie Sherfy (elbow) was placed on the injured list, paving the way for White's return.

Gallegos (5-3) was charged with the loss in Friday's defeat at the hands of the Reds, allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk over one inning.

Tasked with preserving a 5-5 tie when he entered in the eighth inning, Gallegos hurt his own cause immediately by allowing a leadoff single and committing a throwing error before ultimately surrendering what would prove to be a game-winning sacrifice fly. Despite getting dinged with the loss, Gallegos still owns an impressive 2.65 ERA and 0.69 WHIP across 43 appearances, although he's now allowed seven runs (six earned) over his last nine innings.

Weathers (ankle) was activated from the injured list as expected Saturday ahead of his scheduled start against the Marlins.

Weathers has been out for just shy of two weeks with an ankle issue. Prior to the injury, he'd cruised to a 2.91 ERA in 58.2 innings, though that wasn't close to supported by his 4.53 FIP, as he struck out a modest 17.9 percent of opposing batters. Miguel Diaz was optioned in a corresponding move.

Howard will remain in the rotation to start Monday against the Nationals, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Howard has spent time in the rotation, bullpen and minors this season but is needed as a starter for now with Zach Eflin (knee) on the injured list. Eflin's injury isn't considered a long-term concern, but another strong showing from Howard could in theory give him the chance to stick around in favor of Vince Velasquez (5.00 ERA) or Matt Moore (5.79 ERA). The Phillies may not consider the young righty to be stretched out enough to stick as a starter, however, as he's only reached five innings once at any level this season and threw just three innings in his most recent start Wednesday against the Yankees.

Pomeranz earned a hold in Friday's contest against Miami, pitching a scoreless inning during which he gave up on one walk and struck out one batter.

Pomeranz came on to protect a three-run lead in the eighth inning. Though he walked the first batter he faced, the lefty reliever subsequently induced a double play before striking out Adam Duvall to end the frame. Since returning from the injured list last weekend, Pomeranz has given up one earned run and notched a 3:1 K:BB while collecting two holds over three one-inning outings.

Graterol earned a hold Friday against Colorado despite allowing two runs on two hits over two-thirds of an inning.

After being brought up from Triple-A Oklahoma City earlier in the day, Graterol was asked to protect a two-run eighth-inning lead. He allowed a single and a double for one run, then watched from the dugout as Darien Nunez took over on the mound and allowed the game-tying single. The appearance was Graterol's first for the Dodgers since July 3, and he has struggled to build upon his promising 2020 campaign, registering a 9.64 ERA across six big-league appearances and a 6.62 ERA across 18 minor-league outings this season.

Hoffman will shift to a bullpen role going forward, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Hoffman returned from a shoulder injury to start Wednesday's game against the Mets, but he gave up five runs on seven hits and three walks in four innings. The right-hander struggled with command during his start and only threw 44 of his 82 pitches for strikes. Vladimir Gutierrez will take his place in the rotation starting Tuesday against the Cubs.

Gilbreath struck out a batter in a perfect 10th inning Friday to record the save against the Dodgers.

Gilbreath earned the first save of his young career after Daniel Bard blew the save chance in the ninth. The 25-year-old had a quick 1-2-3 outing and struck out Zach McKinstry in the process. He now owns a 6.62 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB over 17.2 innings and likely won't be considered for many saves in the future with such poor numbers.
