Hader recorded his 32nd save of the season Saturday against St. Louis, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Hader now has the exact same number of appearances as last season (55), though he's thrown 12 fewer innings. His 2.48 ERA is nearly identical to last season's 2.43 mark, while he's somehow managed to improve upon his 46.7 percent strikeout rate from 2018, striking out 48.7 percent of opposing batters this year.

Lambert (3-6) allowed five runs on five hits and three walks over five innings, earning the win in Saturday's 11-10 win over the Padres.

Lambert didn't strike out a batter in the contest. It's far from a pretty win, but it still counts. The 22-year-old had a 6.98 ERA and 1.71 WHIP over 86.1 innings this season. Lambert's next turn on the mound is expected to be a challenging matchup Friday on the road against the Dodgers.

Wilson struck out one batter in a perfect ninth inning to record his third save of the season Saturday against the Dodgers.

Wilson got the job done with a three-run lead, striking out Max Muncy before retiring Chris Taylor and Cody Bellinger. The lefty's last two outings have now been saves. Edwin Diaz hasn't recorded a save in over a month, while Seth Lugo, who earned a save in his previous outing, was used in the eighth inning Saturday.

Smith (back) threw Saturday and hasn't been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Marlins, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Smith hasn't pitched since last Friday. Previous reports held that he wouldn't be back until Tuesday at the earliest, but it's possible that he'll wind up ahead of that schedule.

Hart had his contract selected from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

The lefty was DFA'd by the Mets just two weeks ago, but he's back on the roster and will provide depth to the bullpen over the final two-plus weeks. Things got fairly ugly for Hart during his time with the Brewers' Triple-A affiliate this year (4.10 ERA, 1.50 WHIP), but he's a groundball pitcher, and that gives him some appeal in this environment.

Smith was claimed off waivers by the Marlins on Saturday, Andre Fernandez of The Athletic reports.

Smith finds a new home a day after being designated for assignment by the Indians. The lefty reliever has a 5.40 ERA and 1.92 WHIP in 8.1 innings. He will join the big-league club in Arizona on Monday.

Hoffman (2-6) picked up the win in Friday's 10-8 victory over the Padres, giving up four runs on four hits and six walks over 5.1 innings while striking out four.

The right-hander's final line could have been much, much worse considering the free passes and the typically wild Coors Field affair going on around him -- the two teams combined for five homers and 14 extra-base hits -- but Hoffman managed to do just enough to escape with the win. He'll take a 7.03 ERA and 58:27 K:BB through 56.1 innings into his next start Wednesday, at home against the Mets.

Iglesias earned the save against the Diamondbacks on Friday, firing a scoreless ninth inning while surrendering one hit.

Tasked with protecting a 4-3 lead in the ninth, Iglesias forced Carson Kelly and Ildemaro Vargas to fly out before allowing Ketel Marte to swat a double. The 29-year-old stifled any additional threat by inducing a groundout from Josh Rojas to end the game. The save was the 30th of the year for Iglesias, who has now posted back-to-back 30-save seasons.

Beede (5-9) allowed only three hits and a walk over 6.1 scoreless innings to earn the win in Friday's 1-0 victory over the Marlins. He struck out five batters.

Beede has now delivered two consecutive scoreless starts after tossing five shutout innings versus the Dodgers on Sept 7. This was also Beede's longest outing since he posted zeroes for eight innings July 19 versus the Mets. The right-hander has a 5.02 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 107.2 innings this year. He's projected to take on the Red Sox on Thursday.

Smith (back) played catch from flat ground Friday, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Smith was initially hoping to pitch over the weekend, but it appears as though he'll be held out of game action until Tuesday. He's been nursing back inflammation since Saturday.
