Scott (2-1) earned the win in Sunday's 4-3 victory over the Cubs. He allowed no runs on two hits over one inning.

Scott worked around a pair of singles in the top of the eighth inning, coaxing a double-play ball from Nelson Velazquez to end the frame. Scott had a productive series against the Cubs, recording a win and a save over two scoreless innings. His ERA still sits at a subpar 5.25 with a 1.17 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB through 12 innings. The 28-year-old lefty was expected to share closing duties with A.J. Puk and Dylan Floro coming into the season, but he's fallen to a distant third on the depth chart. There's little reason to roster Scott at this point, outside of deeper holds leagues.

Beeks (0-2) allowed five runs on four hits while managing to get through only two-thirds of an inning in the loss to the White Sox on Sunday.

Beeks came in to try and shut things down in the ninth with the Rays up 9-5 and put together an absolutely disastrous performance. Romy Gonzalez lined out to open up the inning and Beeks got a second out on a sacrifice fly, but he then allowed three singles, a double and hit a batter, which led to three runs for the Sox. He was replaced by Garrett Cleavinger with men on first and second, and he couldn't get bailed out after Cleavinger allowed an inherited runner to score on another base hit before surrendering a three-run walkoff blast to Andrew Vaughn. Beeks did not register a single whiff on 23 pitches and now has an inflated 7.43 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 8:8 K:BB over 13.1 innings.

Thompson (1-2) allowed two runs on a hit and two walks with one strikeout over two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss Sunday versus the Dodgers.

Thompson got out of a mess made by starter Jake Woodford in the fourth inning, only to create trouble on his own in the fifth. Thompson allowed the first three batters to reach in the fifth, and Drew VerHagen allowed two of them to score, which put the Dodgers ahead for good. This is the third outing in a row in which Thompson's allowed multiple runs, a discouraging turn of events after he limited the damage to one unearned run in his first eight appearances. The southpaw owns a 4.63 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB with a hold in 11.2 innings over 11 appearances.

Rogers (0-2) allowed two runs on a hit and a walk with one strikeout in one-third of an inning, taking the loss versus the Padres on Sunday.

Rogers appeared in both games in Mexico City this weekend, and he took the loss in each of those contests. He put two of the three batters he faced on base Sunday, and Camilo Doval was unable to get out of the jam. Rogers now has a 2.93 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB through 15.1 innings. He'll certainly enjoy getting back to sea level soon, though a three-game stop in Houston starts Monday before the Giants are back home at pitcher-friendly Oracle Park over the weekend.

Doval was charged with a blown save Sunday versus the Padres, allowing a run on two hits while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning.

Doval allowed a runner inherited from Tyler Rogers to score in the eighth inning, and the Giants were unable to bounce back. A two-run double from Matt Carpenter also put a run on Doval's line. It's the first blown save of the season for Doval, who has also gone 1-2 with three saves through 11 appearances. He has a 3.27 ERA, but his 1.36 WHIP and 15:6 K:BB through 11 innings are at least somewhat concerning marks.

Voth (1-1) walked two and struck out two over two scoreless and hitless innings, earning the win Sunday over the Tigers.

This was just the third time in 10 appearances this season that Voth wasn't changed with a run. All three of his scoreless efforts have come over his last four outings. The right-hander has a 5.52 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB across 14.2 innings as a low-leverage reliever this year. He's also picked up two holds. Voth's biggest problem has been home runs -- he gave up five long balls over his first five appearances but has since kept the ball in the yard.

Phillips allowed one hit in a scoreless inning Sunday. He struck out one and earned a save over the Cardinals.

The Dodgers continue to deploy a closer-by-committee approach. Sunday was Phillips' first save opportunity since April 6, and he's now converted all three of his chances this season. Brusdar Graterol, who earned a save Saturday, recorded an out in the seventh inning Sunday. Phillips lowered his ERA to 2.70 with a 12:2 K:BB through 12 innings.

Iglesias (shoulder) struck out one in a perfect fourth inning during a rehab outing at Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Iglesias began the regular season on the injured list due to a shoulder strain, but he began a rehab assignment Thursday and has tossed two perfect frames over his two minor-league appearances. It's unclear when the right-hander will be activated from the IL, but manager Brian Snitker said Friday that Iglesias won't need to make back-to-back rehab appearances before rejoining the major-league club, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Pressly struck out one batter in a perfect inning to earn a save over Philadelphia on Sunday.

Pressly needed just 13 pitches (nine strikes) to close out the 4-3 win. He didn't pick up his first save until April 21 but now has three in his last four outings. The veteran righty has also turned in six straight scoreless appearances, lowering his season ERA to 3.97 across 11.1 frames.

Hader picked up the save in Sunday's 6-4 win over San Francisco. He failed to record a strikeout over one perfect inning.

Hader overcame the Mexico City altitude Sunday, posting a clean ninth inning to lock up the victory for San Diego. The save was Hader's 10th of the year, pushing him into sole possession of first place in the category. Through 12.0 innings, Hader has given up just one earned run while striking out 17.
