Peters was recalled by the Pirates on Friday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Peters has shown very little in 132.2 career major-league innings (24 starts and seven relief appearances), struggling to a 5.83 ERA and 1.61 WHIP with just a 16.7 percent strikeout rate. It looks as though he's up as a reliever for his first opportunity with his new team, after being acquired from the Angels in mid-July in a trade for cash considerations.

Webb was recalled by Atlanta on Friday.

Webb has been passable enough in his 19 major-league innings this season, though his 4.74 ERA and 20.0 percent strikeout rate certainly won't lead to many high-leverage opportunities. He owns a far better 2.21 ERA in 20.1 frames for Triple-A Gwinnett, backed by a strong 34.1 percent strikeout rate. Kyle Muller was optioned in a corresponding move.

Finnegan (4-4) was tagged with the loss during the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets after allowing one run on one hit across one-third of an inning.

Finnegan had the task of sending the game to extra innings after the Nationals rallied to score three runs in the top of the seventh, but he allowed a walkoff homer to Pete Alonso with one out. This ended Finnegan's run of 10 straight appearances without allowing an earned run, though his role as the team's closer shouldn't be in jeopardy going forward.

Fulmer recorded the save Thursday against the Orioles after tossing two scoreless innings, allowing two hits.

Fulmer had the daunting task to secure the final six outs of the game but handled it extremely well, closing things out with just 26 pitches (17 strikes) despite allowing two baserunners. The right-hander has tossed seven straight scoreless appearances and has reduced his ERA to 3.40, while it's also worth noting he's yet to allow an earned run since returning from the injured list in late July.

Reyes allowed two runs (one earned) on a hit and no walks while striking out two in the ninth inning to earn the save in Thursday's win over the Pirates.

Reyes had allowed just one unearned run in three innings across his last three appearances, but he fared worse in Thursday's outing by giving up a two-run homer to Bryan Reynolds. However, the righty bounced back and struck out the final two batters he faced. Reyes has earned three saves in his last four appearances, boosting his total to 27 on the season, and he's posted a 2.25 ERA with six strikeouts in four innings during that time.

Iglesias pitched in a non-save opportunity in Thursday's win over Toronto, allowed one run on one hit with a pair of strikeouts in 1.1 innings.

Iglesias entered the game with Los Angeles leading 6-2 with two outs in the eighth inning and overpowered Vladimir Guerrero with a strikeout to end the frame. Iglesias gave up a Lourdes Gurriel solo homer in the ninth but otherwise pitched effectively in a non-save situation. The veteran closer owns a 3.04 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in 53.1 innings this season while nailing down 25 of 30 save chances.

McHugh (4-0) fired two scoreless innings on one hit while striking out three, earning the win over the Red Sox on Thursday.

McHugh entered the fifth inning in a tie and didn't allow any runs through the end of the sixth frame after the Rays took the lead. He has been nearly perfect this season, allowing just one earned run in 39.1 innings since May 6. The 34-year-old has a 1.41 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with a strong 12.9 K/9 in 44.2 innings this season.

Hendriks (7-2) earned the win after blowing a save Thursday against the Yankees, giving up four runs on three hits and a walk in one inning. He also had three strikeouts.

Hendriks was knocked around by the middle of the New York lineup in the top of the ninth inning, with two-run blasts by Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, turning a 7-4 Chicago advantage into an 8-7 deficit. Fortunately for Hendriks, Tim Anderson responded with a two-run, walk-off homer in the bottom of the frame, securing the right-hander's seventh relief win of the season. The longball has been an issue all year for Hendriks, who has now allowed 10 of them in 49.2 innings, his most since becoming a full-time reliever in 2015. He has blown six of his 32 save opportunities while logging a 3.08 ERA and 0.79 WHIP.

Morgan (1-5) allowed five earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out one across four innings to take the loss Thursday against the Athletics.

Morgan retired the side in order in the first inning but ran into trouble thereafter. Though he kept the ball in the yard, The young righty clearly wasn't sharp as he hit two batters in addition to the three free passes he issued. Morgan was coming off consecutive quality starts prior to Thursday's appearance, during which he allowed a combined four earned runs across 13 innings with a 12:2 K:BB. After this poor outing, he has a 6.52 ERA across 48.1 innings on the campaign.

Lamet (forearm) has undergone a procedure to clean out a hip infection, Bill Center of Padres.com reports.

The good news is that the injury has nothing to do with Lamet's forearm. He's reportedly made steady progress in his return from the arm issue, most recently tossing a 20-pitch batting practice session Tuesday. However, manager Jayce Tingler did admit that Lamet's hip procedure will sideline him for at least another week. No further timeline has been established.
