The Giants optioned Beck to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Beck was needed for 1.1 innings out of the bullpen in Monday's loss to Atlanta, so he's being sent out to the minors in favor of fresh relief help. The righty has pitched exclusively in relief this season and presumably will remain in the bullpen at Sacramento.

The Giants optioned Birdsong to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The transaction comes one day after Birdsong failed to record an out while allowing five runs on one hit and four walks in a loss to Atlanta. The disastrous outing was more than just a one-start blip for the righty, as Birdsong had collected a 10.38 ERA and 17:18 K:BB across 17.1 innings covering his last five outings. Carson Seymour has been recalled from Sacramento and could take Birdsong's spot in the rotation, with Mason Black and Carson Whisenhunt also representing options.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Scott will "most likely" land on the 15-day injured list after the southpaw felt a "sting" in his left forearm during his relief appearance in Monday's 5-2 win over the Twins, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Summoned from the bullpen with two outs in the top of the eighth inning, Scott induced a Harrison Bader lineout to preserve the Dodgers' four-run lead. He then retired one of the first three batters he faced in the top of the ninth before he was visited on the mound by a team trainer after he was in obvious discomfort when he threw a slider in the dirt in the first pitch of Ryan Jeffers' at-bat. Though an X-ray and manual testing on Scott yielded positive results, the 31-year-old southpaw is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Tuesday as the Dodgers look to determine the full extent of his injury. With a stint on the IL likely on tap for Scott, the Dodgers could turn to Kirby Yates -- who collected the save Monday -- and Alex Vesia as their preferred options to close out games. Expect Los Angeles to also seek upgrades to the back end of the bullpen leading up to the July 31 trade deadline, as Scott is just the latest in a long line of high-profile Dodgers relievers to go down with an injury.

Henry gave up a hit and a walk while striking out one in a scoreless fifth inning Monday to record his third hold of the season in a win over the Reds.

Starter Jake Irvin didn't make it out of the fourth inning, and Henry was one of six Nationals relievers to take the mound in a wild 10-8 victory. The 26-year-old righty has been effective in his first big-league season, posting a 3.50 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 35:18 K:BB over 36 innings, and if closer Kyle Finnegan gets shipped out at the trade deadline, Henry could get an audition in the ninth inning down the stretch.

Chafin (1-0) picked up the win Monday over the Reds, working a perfect sixth inning. He didn't strike out a batter.

The veteran lefty was one of six Nationals relievers to take the mound after starter Jake Irvin couldn't escape the fourth inning, and Chafin was credited with the win even though Washington never trailed in the game. He's been tagged with just one run in seven appearances since returning from a hamstring strain in early July, posting a 1.50 ERA, 0.50 WHIP and 2:0 K:BB over 6.0 innings during that stretch. With the Nats expected to be motivated sellers at the trade deadline, Chafin could find himself landing with a contender before the end of the month.

Raley (1-0) gave up a hit in a scoreless eighth inning Monday to record the win over the Angels. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.

Making his second appearance of the season, Raley kept the game knotted at 5-5 in the top of the eighth before the Mets took the lead for the first time on the night in the bottom of the frame. The 37-year-old missed most of last season and the first part of the current campaign after undergoing Tommy John surgery in May 2024, but Raley has been slotted right back into a high-leverage role as the only healthy southpaw in the New York bullpen.

McLean could be an option for the Mets' bullpen if the team doesn't trade for any high-leverage relievers at the deadline, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

General manager David Stearns has gone this route in the past during his time in Milwaukee, breaking in future aces Brandon Woodruff, Corbin Burnes and Freddy Peralta in relief roles. The Mets are actively working to acquire established bullpen arms however, and using a prospect like McLean in high-leverage spots during a playoff push would appear to be Plan B. McLean is having a breakout campaign in the high minors, posting a combined 2.78 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 101:41 K:BB over 90.2 innings between Double-A and Triple-A.

Yates retired both batters he faced to earn the save in Monday's 5-2 win over the Twins.

Yates had to come in during an at-bat, as Tanner Scott (forearm) couldn't continue against Ryan Jeffers in the ninth inning. Yates also allowed an inherited runner to score on a sacrifice fly, but he was able to prevent further damage to earn his third save of the campaign. He's been a little shaky in July, allowing three runs (two earned) over five innings while taking one loss. Yates has a 3.86 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 43:9 K:BB with 13 holds over 30.1 innings across 37 appearances. Should Scott land on the injured list, Yates and Alex Vesia are the current healthy candidates for ninth-inning duties, though Blake Treinen (forearm) could also be in the mix once he completes his rehab assignment. It's also possible the Dodgers focus on picking up a high-end reliever before the trade deadline to replenish their bullpen depth, especially if Scott's injury ends up being significant.

Hader walked two in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Monday's 6-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Hader got two outs on his first six pitches, then walked two batters before getting Josh Naylor on a flyout to end the threat. Hader took a blown save in his last appearance before the All-Star break and has walked four batters over three innings in two outings since the season resumed, which has made for a tumultuous July for the Houston closer. He's still been sharp enough when it matters, converting 26 of 27 save chances this season with a 2.36 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 66:13 K:BB across 45.2 innings.

Suarez earned the save after working a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit while striking out one, during Monday's 2-1 win over the Marlins.

Suarez has anchored the bullpen with the best ERA in MLB all season long, and he needed just 10 pitches, nine of them strikes, to earn his league-leading 29th save of the season. The 34-year-old has rebounded from a tough month of June, in which he had a 7.84 ERA, with a July that has seen him allow one run over seven appearances. His season-long ERA is down to 3.46 and his strikeouts are up to 44 in 41.2 innings.
