Hader allowed two hits and a run while striking out two in one inning in Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Rockies.

Hader didn't have any trouble getting his first two outs, but pinch hitter Sam Hilliard took him deep for the game-tying run. It's Hader's seventh blown save of the year. He's converted 37 saves, including twelve in a row before Saturday's hiccup. The flame-throwing southpaw owns a 2.62 ERA and 0.81 WHIP with 138 strikeouts in 75.2 innings.

Gsellman (triceps) won't return from the injured list this weekend and is done for the season, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Gsellman was scheduled for a live batting practice session Thursday to potentially set him up for one final appearance, but it was rained out and he'll instead continue his rehab work. The 26-year-old ends 2019 with a 4.66 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 60:23 K:BB across 63.2 innings.

De Los Santos was recalled by the Phillies on Saturday, Meghan Montemurro of The Athletic reports.

De Los Santos will give the Phillies an extra arm out of the bullpen for the final two games of the season. He failed to impress in 11 big-league innings earlier this season, posting a 7.36 ERA and a 1.64 WHIP.

Manager Bruce Bochy mentioned Rodriguez as the likely starter in a bullpen game Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Madison Bumgarner had been lined up to start Sunday in the final game of Bochy's career, but Bochy announced late Friday that Bumgarner would not start again. "The game is not going to determine anything," the skipper said. "He's got a lot of baseball left and I'd like to take care of him." That opens the door for Rodriguez to step in for one more turn after he lost his rotation spot earlier this month. Expect Rodriguez to throw two or three innings before handing it over to the bullpen.

Scott (1-0) allowed one hit in a scoreless eighth inning, striking out one and earning the win versus the Padres on Friday.

Scott entered with the Diamondbacks trailing 3-2, but he kept a clean performance and the offense rallied for four runs to earn the 30-year-old a win. Scott has allowed two runs in 3.2 innings over eight appearances in September. Overall, he's posted a 4.91 ERA in 7.1 innings this season at the major-league level.

Clarke permitted one run on two hits and a walk while striking out four in three innings in a no-decision against the Padres on Friday.

Clarke was in line for the loss when he exited the contest, but the Diamondbacks plated a pair in the fifth inning to get him off the hook. He now sports a 5.31 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with 68 strikeouts in 84.2 innings this year.

Hudson pitched five scoreless innings, allowing two hits and five walks while striking out 10 in a no-decision versus the Cubs on Friday.

Five walks is a bit much -- Friday is the third time Hudson has issued that many free passes this year -- but he also recorded double-digit punchouts in a game for the first time all season. For the year, Hudson is 16-7 with a 3.35 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 136 strikeouts in 174.2 innings.

Iglesias allowed two runs on two hits in two-thirds of an inning in a blown save against the Pirates on Friday.

This outing ruins Iglesias' perfect September. Prior to Friday, he had pitched nine scoreless frames this month, where he had allowed only two hits and one walk with 15 strikeouts. Barring another setback this weekend, Iglesias will still have a great September, but he won't finish with an ERA under 4.00, and he is 3-12 with six blown saves this year. Iglesias also has 34 saves, a 4.23 ERA, a 1.24 WHIP and 89 strikeouts in 66 innings.

Sims will start Saturday's game against the Pirates.

Sims figures to toss the first inning or two before handing the ball to a bulk reliever, especially considering he hasn't worked more than two frames since July 24 against Milwaukee. He owns a 4.39 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 56 punchouts over 41 innings this season.

Voth (2-1) allowed two runs on two hits with no walks and five strikeouts across six innings to earn a victory against the Indians on Friday.

The Nationals took the lead in the top of the sixth, giving Voth the opportunity to leave with the lead and capture the win. This game was tied 2-2 in the fifth, but when Voth exited, he was holding a five-run lead. The 27-year-old finishes the regular season with a 2-1 record, 3.30 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 44 strikeouts in 43.2 innings this season.
