Wicks allowed six runs on 10 hits over three innings of relief in Friday's 11-0 loss to the Yankees. He walked one and struck out four.

As the game was getting out of hand, the Cubs simply had Wicks take one for the team and finish things out over the final three innings despite his struggles. The lefty got hit hard and allowed twice as many earned runs as he had all season prior to Friday, albeit in only 5.1 innings of action. His ERA ballooned to an ugly 9.72, and Wicks doesn't have a ton of fantasy appeal at the moment as a low-leverage long reliever in the Chicago bullpen.

Nelson came away with a no-decision in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Angels, coughing up four runs on seven hits and four walks over four innings. He struck out one.

He tossed 52 of 87 pitches for strikes before getting the hook, and he was lucky to last that long after Zach Neto and Yoan Moncada both took him deep in the first inning. It was the first time all season that Nelson has served up multiple homers in the same outing, and Friday's ragged performance ended a strong stretch for the 27-year-old right-hander in which he'd allowed two runs or fewer in five straight starts. Nelson will look to regroup over the All-Star break as he takes a 3.68 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 65:25 K:BB through 78.1 innings into the second half.

Flexen (5-1) took the loss Friday against the Yankees after giving up three earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out two batters over four innings.

Flexen made his first start of the campaign Friday after spending most of the season working as a multi-inning option out of the bullpen. He kept the Yankees off the scoreboard for two innings, but back-to-back singles to lead off the third followed by an Aaron Judge sacrifice fly and a Cody Bellinger two-run blast gave New York a lead it wouldn't relinquish for the rest of the game. Flexen's ERA still sits at 1.47 on the year despite his rough performance Friday, and he'll likely get another opportunity to start after the All-Star break with Jameson Taillon (calf) set to remain out until August.

Doval allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 8-7 win over the Dodgers.

Doval allowed runners to reach first and second with one out, but he got Will Smith to ground into a double play to end the threat. Doval has allowed at least one baserunner in six of his last seven outings, and this was just the third time he's avoided giving up any runs during that span, having been tagged for nine runs (eight earned) over his last 7.2 innings. Doval hasn't lost out on closing duties yet, but he's on shaky ground if he can't steady his performance. For the season, he's earned 15 saves with a 3.02 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 38:21 K:BB through 41.2 innings.

Suarez struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 4-2 win over the Phillies.

Suarez has pitched three of the last four days and is now on a five-inning scoreless streak that began July 4 versus the Rangers. The closer's heavy workload lately may lead to him not making an appearance Saturday even if a save situation arises, though the rest of the Padres' top high-leverage arms have also pitched on the same days as Suarez this week. Suarez is up to 28 saves in 31 chances while maintaining a 3.54 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 43:12 K:BB through 40.2 innings this season.

Iglesias secured the save in Friday's 6-5 win over the Cardinals, allowing no baserunners in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

It's worth noting Dylan Lee may not have been available after working the past two days and taking a blown save in Thursday's loss to the Athletics. That said, Iglesias is certainly turning a corner and pushing to secure the closer role after posting a 6.75 ERA as of June 5. The veteran right-hander hasn't surrendered a run over his last 11.2 innings, during which he owns a 0.60 WHIP and 16:1 K:BB.

Vodnik worked the ninth inning and earned the save, allowing one hit and walking one while striking out three, during Friday's 3-2 win over Reds.

Vodnik has not excelled in save opportunities this season; this was just his second save in five chances. His last save came back on April 6, and since then, he's had two opportunities to save a game and didn't convert either. Nonetheless, the right-hander has been one of the more consistent arms out of the Rockies bullpen. After striking out the side Friday, the 25-year-old has 10 strikeouts in his last 5.2 innings, and his season-long ERA in 27.1 innings is down to 2.30.

The Diamondbacks activated Graveman (hip) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Graveman's one-month stint on the injured list comes to an end Friday, as he'll rejoin Arizona's bullpen in place of Jalen Beeks (back), who's headed to the IL himself. Graveman has allowed eight runs in 8.1 innings across nine appearances with the Diamondbacks this season.

The Diamondbacks placed Beeks on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to July 8, due to lower back inflammation.

As manager Torey Lovullo indicated earlier Friday, Beeks will be shelved with back inflammation. The move opens up a spot for Kendall Graveman (hip) to rejoin the active roster. In 41 innings, Beeks has a 4.39 ERA and a 39:15 K:BB.

The Padres optioned Nunez to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

After giving up two earned runs over 4.2 innings during his first nine days as a major leaguer, Nunez will head back to Triple-A to clear room for Ryan Bergert's (forearm) return from the IL. The 26-year-old Nunez also owns a 2.40 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over 30 innings between Double-A and Triple-A this season, and if he continues at that rate, he should be able to make another appearance for the Padres at some point down the line.
