  • Mets' Brandon Waddell: Back with big club

    The Mets recalled Waddell from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

    Waddell has made four relief appearances for the Mets this season, allowing four runs with a 7:2 K:BB over 10.2 innings. He'll look to provide more stability to the Mets' left-handed relief corps.

  • Padres' Sean Reynolds: Summoned to big club

    The Padres recalled Reynolds from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

    San Diego placed starter Ryan Bergert (forearm) on the 15-day injured list to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster for Reynolds. Bergert tossed just three innings before leaving Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Nationals after being struck on the forearm by a comebacker, so Reynolds will offer the Padres a fresh relief arm for Wednesday's series finale after San Diego needed four relievers to cover the final six frames of Tuesday's contest. Reynolds has delivered a 4.15 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB in 21.2 innings at the big-league level this season.

    Padres' Robert Suarez: Suspension reduced to two games

    Suarez's suspension for hitting Shohei Ohtani with a pitch in last Thursday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers has been reduced to two games, and he will begin serving the suspension Wednesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Suarez will be eligible to pitch again Saturday in Cincinnati. If a save opportunity arises for the Padres over the next two games, they could turn to Jason Adam, Jeremiah Estrada or Adrian Morejon.

  • Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Nabs win in long relief

    Wrobleski (3-2) picked up the win Tuesday against the Rockies, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out seven.

    Wrobleski followed opener Jack Dreyer, who completed the first inning, and Wrobleski delivered five solid frames. His seven strikeouts marked a season high, and he's added a tally in the win column in back-to-back appearances. In six outings this season, the 24-year-old has a 4.91 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 29.1 innings. Wrobleski has operated as a bulk reliever in three straight appearances, and if he remains on schedule, he'd likely pitch Sunday against Kansas City.

  • Tanner Scott RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Nabs four-out save

    Scott picked up the save Tuesday against Colorado, allowing two hits over 1.1 scoreless innings. He did not record a walk or a strikeout.

    Scott was forced into the game before the ninth inning after the Dodgers' advantage was trimmed to three with runners on first and second with two outs in the eighth. Scott allowed a two-RBI double to the first batter he faced, but he managed to hang on to grab his 16th save. He's converted each of his last six save chances and has allowed one earned run in his last 10 appearances (10.1 innings).

  • Calvin Faucher RP | MIA

    Marlins' Calvin Faucher: Collects eighth save

    Faucher walked one and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

    Faucher extended his scoreless streak to 10.2 innings over his last 12 appearances. His last outing Sunday ended in a hold after Faucher was deployed in the eighth inning while Ronny Henriquez took the ninth. Faucher still looks to be the Marlins' closer -- at worst, he's the most trusted high-leverage option, especially given his recent steady pitching. He's maintained a 3.45 ERA with a 1.26 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB over 28.2 innings while adding eight saves, three holds and three blown saves. Faucher has been scored upon in just four of his 32 appearances.

  • Robert Suarez RP | ATL

    Padres' Robert Suarez: Earns 22nd save

    Suarez struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Nationals.

    Suarez has posted back-to-back scoreless outings after a stretch of three appearances in which he allowed seven runs over one inning. The 34-year-old also picked up his 22nd save of the year, though it was his first since June 8 versus the Brewers, in part due to his recent poor performance. He's at a 3.51 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 34:9 K:BB over 33.1 innings. Suarez is currently appealing a three-game suspension stemming from his plunking of Shohei Ohtani last week -- Suarez remains eligible to pitch while the appeal is active, but it's possible he'll drop it if he faces a heavy workload in the near future.

  • Shelby Miller RP | CHC

    Diamondbacks' Shelby Miller: Secures ninth save

    Miller fired a clean ninth inning to pick up his ninth save of the year in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the White Sox.

    Miller retired the White Sox in order on 12 pitches for his second save in as many appearances. Miller has taken over the closer role for the foreseeable future with the Diamondbacks losing two high-leverage arms for the season. He's enjoying a bounce-back campaign and has allowed just two runs over his last 12 appearances while racking up a 13:1 K:BB over that span.

  • Ryan Helsley RP | BAL

    Cardinals' Ryan Helsley: Holds on for 15th save

    Helsley picked up the save in Tuesday's 8-7 victory over the Cubs, allowing two hits in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.

    June has certainly been a dicey stretch for Helsley, who's now yielded two knocks in five of his seven outings this month, but he was able to hang on for his 15th save Tuesday. The hard-throwing right-hander had blown three straight save opportunities prior to successfully converting his past two chances, so that should offer fantasy managers some optimism going forward. Helsey sports a 3.54 ERA and 33:12 K:BB over 28 innings, but his 1.46 WHIP looms as a cause for concern.

  • Ryne Nelson SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ryne Nelson: Punches out seven Tuesday

    Nelson allowed one run on one hit and three walks while striking out seven in five innings Tuesday against the White Sox. He did not factor into the decision.

    Nelson recorded six of the first seven outs via strikeout. He relied heavily on his four-seamer, throwing it nearly 80 percent of the time, and racked up six of his seven punchouts with the pitch. Nelson has allowed just two hits over his last two starts and has allowed two earned runs over his last 15.2 innings. He lines up for a home start versus the Giants to begin next week.
