Saalfrank picked up the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Milwaukee, allowing one hit and no walks in 1.2 scoreless innings. He struck out two.

Saalfrank turned in his fifth straight scoreless outing and threw a season-high 29 pitches. Kyle Backhus recorded two outs in the seventh inning for a hold, which does suggest Saalfrank is ahead of Backhus in Arizona's closer hierarchy. Ryan Thompson (shoulder) could also factor into the mix once he completes his rehab assignment, so this situation is perhaps in a state of flux. Saalfrank at least appears to be one of the favorites for saves, submitting a 1.35 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB over his 20 innings.

Wentz (5-4) picked up the win Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks over 6.2 innings in a 12-1 rout of the Marlins. He struck out five.

Atlanta handed the southpaw a 9-0 lead through four innings, letting Wentz cruise to his third quality start in eight turns since joining the rotation coming out of the All-Star break. Over that stretch, the 27-year-old has delivered a 3.67 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 33:15 K:BB through 41.2 innings. Wentz will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week against the Cubs.

The Diamondbacks optioned Morillo to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

Morillo gave up a run on one hit and two walks without recording an out in Tuesday's loss to the Brewers. His latest appearance elevated his ERA to 4.55 to go with his 1.77 WHIP through 31.2 innings with the D-backs, and he'll now aim to get back on track in the minors. Taylor Rashi was promoted from Reno to take Morillo's place in Arizona's bullpen.

Crismatt is listed as the Diamondbacks' starting pitcher for Thursday's game against the Brewers in Milwaukee, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Crismatt will make his third straight turn through the rotation Thursday and his second as a traditional starter, after the Diamondbacks previously used him as a bulk reliever behind Jalen Beeks his last time out in Saturday's win over the Reds. Through his first two outings with Arizona upon being called up from Triple-A Reno, Crismatt has covered covered nine innings and has struck out nine batters while giving up one earned run on seven hits and four walks.

The Mets optioned Brazoban to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Earlier Wednesday, Brazoban underwent an MRI on his sore side, but with imaging coming back negative, the reliever has been optioned to the minors rather than being placed on the 15-day injured list. Kevin Herget was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to replace Brazoban on the active roster and in the bullpen.

Ashby will be used as the Brewers' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Andrew Wagner of 105.7 The Fan Milwaukee reports.

Ashby will draw his first start of the season Wednesday, but since he'll be pitching on just one day of rest after a 1.2-inning relief appearance in Monday's series-opening win, the Brewers likely won't ask him to cover more than a frame or two. The newly signed Erick Fedde is expected to work in bulk relief behind Ashby, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.

Megill (elbow), who was placed on the 15-day injured list earlier Wednesday, said that he's been diagnosed with a Grade 1 flexor tendon strain following an MRI and is hoping to be activated around when he's first eligible Sept. 9, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports. "My intentions are to be off on 15 [days], and I'm gonna do everything in my power to make that happen," Megill said.

Megill noted that his elbow felt off following his most recent appearance against the Giants on Sunday, when he needed 34 pitches to record three outs en route to suffering his third blown save in as many chances. Though elbow-related injuries are especially concerning for pitchers like Megill who are reliant on high velocity, the 31-year-old was encouraged by the results of his imaging and said that the flexor tendon strain isn't as serious as ones that he's dealt with in the past. He's hopeful that after a few days of rest, he'll be able to resume throwing again, at which point the Brewers should have a better idea whether a return in the minimum 15 days is realistic. Abner Uribe converted the Brewers' last save chance in Monday's win over the Diamondbacks and is likely to take over as Milwaukee's closer while Megill is shelved.

Brazoban is slated to undergo an MRI on his oblique area Wednesday and could land on the 15-day injured list, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

Brazoban apparently suffered the injury during his relief appearance in Tuesday's win over the Phillies. The Mets have already recalled Kevin Herget from Triple-A Syracuse to provide the team with a fresh arm in the bullpen for Wednesday's series finale and did not announce a corresponding move. Brazoban appears likely to lose his spot on the active roster prior to the game, whether it's due to a stint on the injured list or a demotion.

The Brewers placed Megill on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right elbow flexor strain.

Though Milwaukee hadn't indicated that Megill was nursing an injury, he hadn't been especially sharp in his recent outings. Over his last four appearances spanning four innings, Megill backdoored his way into two wins but blew three of four save chances while allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits and two walks across four innings. Abner Uribe has turned in a spotless ERA since the All-Star break and is likely the next man up for saves in the absence of Megill, whose timeline for a return won't become clear until the Brewers shed more light on the severity of his injury. Even if Megill's elbow strain is deemed mild, however, the righty could still be at risk of being shelved beyond the minimum 15 days.

The Reds placed Ashcraft on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right forearm strain.

Ashcraft will be eligible for activation Sept. 9, but even if he's able to recover from the forearm strain with rest and rehab rather than season-ending surgery, he's still likely to need more than 15 days to move past the issue. He'll cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to lefty Nick Lodolo (finger), who was activated ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday versus the Dodgers. Ashcraft had emerged as a key late-inning weapon for the Reds in his first season as a full-time reliever and had been especially effective so far in August, logging 1.59 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 8:3 K:BB and collecting five holds in 11.1 innings over his 12 appearances on the month.
