Ortiz (6-5) took the loss in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against Washington, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 5.2 innings.

Ortiz was originally scheduled to start Friday, but his outing was pushed back a day due to a weather-related postponement. The right-hander wasn't at his sharpest against Washington, as only 58 of his 100 pitches were strikes and he departed with two outs in the sixth inning trailing 4-0. Ortiz fell one out shy of recording his third straight quality start, however. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which is tentatively slated to be at home against Kansas City.

Finnegan notched a save in each game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Pirates, allowing one run on three hits and a walk in Game 1 and pitching a perfect frame with two strikeouts in Game 2.

Finnegan struggled a bit in the matinee, allowing four of the first five batters he faced to reach base to allow a run to cross the plate and load the bases with one out. He was able to escape the jam, however, by getting Bryan De La Cruz to ground into a game-ending double play. Finnegan tossed 23 pitches in that outing, but that didn't stop Nationals manager Dave Martinez from going to him again with the team up by two runs in the ninth inning of the nightcap. This time Finnegan got the job done with ease, retiring the side in order on 19 pitches. With the pair of saves, Finnegan is up to 36 on the season, third most in the majors.

Williams earned a save against the Rockies on Saturday, striking out all three batters he faced in the ninth inning.

Williams dominated the Rockies on Saturday, making it the fourth time this season he's recorded all three outs in the ninth via strikeout. Williams has already racked up nine saves in 10 opportunities since making his season debut July 28. The 29-year-old has been particularly impressive of late, as he hasn't given up a hit in any of his last six appearances and carries a 1.84 ERA for the year.

Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Graterol (hamstring) is expected to be activated off the 15-day injured list in the next couple of days, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Graterol threw one scoreless inning in his last rehab outing with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday. He's been on the injured list since Aug. 7 due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain, but he appears to be ready to return to the Dodgers' bullpen. Graterol began the season on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation, and his lone appearance with the big club came Aug. 6 against the Phillies, when he gave up two runs on one hit and one walk over one-third of an inning.

The Marlins designated Kitchen for assignment Saturday.

While serving as the opener for Friday's game against the Phillies, Kitchen surrendered seven runs (six earned) over just two innings. He'll now be cast off the active and 40-man rosters, and a 3.35 ERA at Triple-A could attract attention from other organizations looking to boost their minor-league pitching depth.

The Marlins optioned Maldonado to Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

Maldonado appeared in three games for the Marlins after being recalled from Triple-A on Tuesday, but he'll now be sent back to the minors after surrendering three runs in one inning during Friday's blowout loss to the Phillies. Despite his 6.75 ERA through 16 MLB innings, there's still a chance the 26-year-old righty returns as bullpen depth down the stretch.

The Marlins transferred Nardi (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday.

Nardi was initially deactivated Aug. 24, so his move to the 60-day IL will officially rule him out for the rest of the season. The 26-year-old southpaw will close the book on 2024 with a 5.07 ERA and 1.25 WHIP alongside a 70:18 K:BB across 49.2 innings.

The Marlins placed Faucher on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder impingement.

Faucher has been one of the most reliable members of Miami's bullpen this season, posting a 3.19 ERA and 1.40 WHIP through 53.2 innings while picking up six saves and 11 holds. Now that he's set to miss roughly two weeks, it's unclear who Miami will turn to in high-leverage situations, though Anthony Bender, John McMillon and Jesus Tinoco would seem to be the most likely candidates for ninth-inning work.

The Phillies claimed Cuas off waivers from Toronto and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Cuas was DFA'd by the Blue Jays on Thursday after allowing three runs in three innings spanning four appearances. The 30-year-old will get a fresh start with the Phillies, though he'll start out in the minors at Lehigh Valley.

The Marlins selected Bermudez's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

Just four days after being sent outright to Jacksonville, Bermudez will now rejoin the active roster to give the Marlins an additional bullpen arm capable of handling multiple innings. The 28-year-old southpaw allowed two earned runs in 3.2 innings during his MLB debut Aug. 27 and will presumably be used in long relief again while with the Marlins. Austin Kitchen was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
