Walker picked up the save Wednesday against Philadelphia, pitching a third of an inning in an 8-6 victory.

Facing Trea Turner as the potential tying run in the 10th inning, Walker was able to coax a flyout to earn the first save of his major-league career. While he seems unlikely to get regular save chances going forward, Walker's been reliable of late, allowing just one earned run over his last 11 appearances (15.2 innings). The 27-year-old right-hander now sports an impressive 2.14 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 53:13 K:BB across 46.1 innings this season.

Doval blew the save Wednesday, allowing three runs on a hit and two walks without recording an out in an 8-6 win over the Phillies.

Doval walked the first two batters he faced in the ninth inning before Bryce Harper launched a three-run homer to tie the game 5-5. It's been a brutal stretch for Doval, who's now taken four straight blown saves. He's allowed five runs over his last two appearances while recording just one out in that span. Overall, Doval's ERA is up to 3.09 with a 1.14 WHIP and 75:24 K:BB across 55.1 innings. He is 33-for-40 in save chances this season.

Miller was designated for assignment by the Mets on Wednesday.

This move clears out a 40-man roster spot for Sean Reid-Foley, who has been selected to New York's bullpen ahead of Wednesday's series finale in Atlanta. Miller has posted a 5.40 ERA and 8:6 K:BB in 13.1 major-league innings this season between the Brewers, Dodgers and Mets.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Treinen (shoulder) remains a "long shot" to pitch in the majors this year, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Treinen made his minor-league rehab debut with a 1-2-3 inning Tuesday in the Arizona Complex League and will now move on to Triple-A Oklahoma City, but it sounds like the Dodgers have no intention of rushing him back. Granted, there are still five-and-a-half weeks left in the 2023 regular season and the outlook could change if he continues to pitch well on the farm. The veteran reliever required surgery in November of 2022 to repair the labrum and rotator cuff in his right shoulder.

Garrett was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

Garrett was called up by the Mets on Sunday and delivered 2.2 scoreless frames in two appearances. The 30-year-old has struggled in the majors overall this season with a 9.49 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 8:6 K:BB over 12.1 innings between the Orioles and Mets.

Edwards (shoulder) was shut down indefinitely Wednesday after being diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right scapula, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

The right-hander was already on the shelf with shoulder inflammation, and he apparently didn't feel right after his minor-league rehab outing over the weekend. It's unclear how long Edwards will be shut down from throwing, but the injury could end his campaign if he's unable to get back to throwing within the next couple weeks.

Weathers was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Weathers was knocked around in a start Monday against his former team, the Padres, and now finds himself back in the minors. The left-hander has collected an ugly 7.32 ERA in 14 appearances this season for San Diego and Miami.

Nance (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Nance has been out all season with a shoulder injury and dealt with multiple starts and stops along the way during his rehab. He reeled off 7.2 scoreless innings during his recent rehab stint with Triple-A Jacksonville, though, clearing the way for his addition to the Marlins' bullpen.

Gibaut retired the only batter he faced in Tuesday's win against the Angels to secure his 18th hold. He did not record a strikeout.

Gibaut entered in the eighth inning and quickly retired Brandon Drury on three pitches. He has become a favorite of manager David Bell and is up to a team-leading 57 appearances this year. The 29-year-old has been a steady contributor since the All-Star break with a 3.07 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB in 14.2 innings.

Milner tossed a scoreless eighth inning in Tuesday's 7-3 victory over the Twins.

Milner got the eighth inning Tuesday with the Brewers up four runs, and he avoided allowing an earned run for the 49th time in 58 appearances this season. Milner is not working in a fantasy-friendly role, but he has been outstanding out of Milwaukee's bullpen, posting a 2.26 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 47:11 K:BB over 51.2 innings in 2023.
