Finnegan earned the save in Friday's 4-3 win over the Orioles, allowing one hit with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning. He did not issue a walk.

The Nationals brought Finnegan in for the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead. He was able to work around a Jackson Holliday single to secure the save while tossing 15 pitches (nine strikes). Finnegan has earned a save in each of his last five outings, and his 14 saves are second-best in the majors behind Robert Suarez (15). Finnegan has a 2.70 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB across 16.2 innings this season.

Iglesias picked up the save in Friday's 4-2 win over Boston after allowing one run on one hit in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

Iglesias' uneven start to the season continued, as he's now given up five runs on 11 hits over his past five outings. Among the veteran right-hander's 19 appearances, only six of them have been perfect. Iglesias owns a 5.89 ERA and 1.42 ERA on the campaign, but he does sport a 20:4 K:BB and has converted eight of his 11 save chances as Atlanta's closer.

Suter will serve as the Reds' opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Guardians, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Chase Petty will move into a bulk-relief role Saturday while Suter likely covers the first inning or two. The 35-year-old southpaw has been one of the most reliable arms on the Reds' pitching staff this season, logging a 2.08 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over 21.2 innings.

Diamondbacks Torey Lovullo said Friday that Martinez (shoulder) will throw in the Arizona Complex League on Saturday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

Martinez is in the final stages of his recovery from right shoulder inflammation, which caused him to be placed on the 15-day injured list in early May. He progressed to facing live batters earlier this week, and he'll take the next step in his rehab program by throwing in an ACL game Saturday. Martinez could return to the big club shortly after Saturday's outing depending on how his shoulder responds.

The Dodgers recalled Loutos from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The Dodgers will call upon Loutos to provide a fresh arm for their bullpen, replacing Justin Wrobleski, who was sent down to the minors. Loutos, 26, was traded from St. Louis to Los Angeles on May 1 and has since thrown 3.1 shutout innings at Oklahoma City. He'll work in middle relief while in L.A.

The Diamondbacks selected Montes De Oca's contract from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

Montes De Oca has been brought in to bolster the Diamondbacks' bullpen after Joe Mantiply was optioned to Triple-A following Wednesday's game against the Giants. Montes De Oca started the year in Triple-A, and across 12 outings he has posted a 2.37 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB across 19 innings. He will have the opportunity to make his major-league debut during the Diamondbacks' weekend series against the Rockies.

The Brewers optioned Peguero to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

With Rob Zastryzny coming over from the Yankees to bolster the Brewers' bullpen, Peguero will end up as the odd man out without a roster spot. The 28-year-old has given up four earned runs in just 7.1 innings this season, but he could be called upon later in the year if Milwaukee needs to add a fresh arm.

The Brewers acquired Zastryzny from the Yankees on Friday in exchange for cash and selected him to the active roster.

Zastryzny has spent all of 2025 in Triple-A, where he owns a 4.50 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across 12 innings. He turned in better results with the Brewers last season, giving up one run in 7.2 MLB innings before having his season cut short in late July due to elbow tendinitis. He'll look to repeat his success as he rejoins the organization, replacing Elvis Peguero in Milwaukee's bullpen.

The Diamondbacks recalled McGough from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

McGough made one appearance for the Diamondbacks on May 3 against the Phillies, but he's otherwise spent the 2025 season in Triple-A, where he's posted a 3.55 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 16:4 K:BB across 12.2 innings. He'll provide depth out of Arizona's bullpen after Joe Mantiply was optioned to Reno in a corresponding move.

Montas (lat) will throw a live batting practice session Friday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

It appears to be the first time Montas will face hitters since he went down with a high-grade right lat strain in mid-February. The right-hander would appear close to a rehab assignment if all goes well, and the Mets have previously pegged early June as a possible return for Montas.
