Williams picked up the save over the Giants on Thursday, allowing two hits over a scoreless ninth inning while striking out two.

Williams struck out Matt Chapman on three straight pitches after taking the mound in the bottom of the ninth with a three-run lead. However, he would then allow back-to-back hits, including a double to put the game-tying run on base. The right-hander was able to retire the next two batters to record his 11th save of the campaign and his third in the month of September. Williams has also posted multiple strikeouts in six consecutive appearances, posting a 13:3 K:BB over that stretch. He's still yet to allow a run this month.

Vodnik walked one and struck out one in a scoreless inning Thursday against the Tigers.

Vodnik was reinstated from the injured list Sunday and has made two scoreless appearances since -- each coming in the seventh inning. Meanwhile, Tyler Kinley has picked up both of Colorado's saves in that same span, suggesting Vodnik is out of the closer role for the time being.

Roupp is listed as the Giants' probable pitcher for Sunday's matchup against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Roupp made his first career start Tuesday and limited the Brewers to two runs across five innings. He'll enter his second turn through the rotation having maintained a 3.44 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with a 36:19 K:BB across 36.2 frames in the majors this season.

Tinoco got the save in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Nationals. He pitched two innings without allowing a run or a hit and striking out two.

Tinoco entered the game in the eighth inning with a two-run lead and proceeded to retire all six batters he faced to record his first save since 2019, when he was a member of the Rockies. The right-hander is pitching for his third team this season but seems to have found a home in Miami, as he has a 1.33 ERA and 0.54 WHIP in 20.1 innings since joining the Marlins. The 29-year-old has a chance at being the closer for the Marlins down the stretch with Calvin Faucher (shoulder) and John McMillon (elbow) on the injured list.

McCaughan came away with the no-decision in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Nationals. He allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over five innings while striking out one.

McCaughan got off to a rough start, giving up three runs in the first inning before settling down and getting through the next four frames unscathed. McCaughan was making his third straight start and completed five innings for the first time this year. The 28-year-old has yet to strikeout more than four hitters in any of his eight appearances this season and carries a 7.06 ERA through 29.1 innings.

Wilson (oblique) will throw a bullpen session Sunday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Wilson landed on the injured list Sept. 3 and his upcoming bullpen session will mark his first time throwing since. He should have a chance to return before the close of the regular season, barring a setback.

Zastryzny (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Zastryzny has been sidelined since July 26 with elbow tendinitis. He appeared to be closing in on a return but had his rehab assignment paused in late August. He'll be sidelined until at least Sept. 26 as a result of this move.

Peguero was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

Peguero has pitched nearly the entire season at the big-league level and maintained a solid 2.98 ERA across 51.1 frames. However, his 4.7 BB/9 has led to an inflated 1.54 WHIP. He'll head to the minors, though he would be a candidate to return to the majors if the Brewers require depth out of the bullpen later in the month.

Paredes (forearm) was reinstated from the injured list Thursday.

Paredes has been sidelined since July 2 with a forearm issue. Prior to the injury, he was excellent out of the Brewers bullpen, maintaining a 1.08 ERA and 1.02 WHIP across 16.2 innings, albeit with a more mediocre 12:8 K:BB. Paredes will likely pitch low-leverage roles initially, though he may have the chance to pick up some holds as he gets back into form.

Junis didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Cardinals, allowing one run on three hits over five innings. He struck out three.

Masyn Winn's home run in the third inning was the lone mark on Junis' line Thursday. The right-hander's been excellent in his last two starts with Cincinnati, allowing just one run on four hits over 10 innings, though he's ultimately come away with no-decisions in both outings. Overall, Junis is 4-0 on the season with a 2.73 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 42:7 K:BB across 56 innings between the Reds and Brewers. He's currently lined up for a home matchup with Atlanta next week.
