Nelson pitched 1.2 innings, allowing no runs on one hit and two walks while striking out three Sunday against the Marlins. He did not factor into the decision.

In his first start as a Dodger, Nelson served as the opener and delivered 1.2 scoreless innings. He struck out three of the five batters he faced. The 32-year-old has a 2.70 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 16.2 innings. He hasn't allowed a home run this season and boasts a 13.5 K/9.

Garcia earned the save Sunday against the Dodgers, pitching a scoreless ninth inning on one hit while striking out one.

Garcia protected a one-run lead in the ninth inning, getting Mookie Betts to ground out to end the game. The 30-year-old has done very well since taking over the closing role for the Marlins, converting seven of eight save opportunities. He holds a 1.65 ERA and 0.92 WHIP in 16.1 innings. All three runs off Garcia have been via home runs.

Rogers (0-2) allowed an unearned run on one hit over one inning Sunday, striking out two and taking a loss against Oakland.

Rogers entered the ninth inning in a tie ballgame, so he wasn't stuck with a blown save on top of the loss. He allowed a one-out single to Ramon Laureano, who later reached third on a throwing error. Laureano came around to score on a dropped third strike during the next at-bat. Rogers has given up a run in four of his last five outings and hasn't picked up a save since May 3.

Antone allowed two hits and struck out none over one scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 7-6 win over Colorado.

He allowed a leadoff double to Connor Joe and a single to Ryan McMahon, but Garrett Hampson grounded into a double play to end the threat. The save was Antone's second of the season. He's also notched two blown saves, three holds and a win in 13 outings. The 27-year-old has a 2.08 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB across 21.2 innings in a fairly versatile role.

Hoffman allowed five runs (two earned) on five hits and three walks with five strikeouts in four innings versus Colorado on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.

The 28-year-old got through three innings with little trouble, but Colorado struck for five runs in the fourth. Hoffman didn't help his cause much, as his throwing error led to a run. The right-hander has gone five starts without a win, and he's failed to reach the fifth inning in his last four outings. He has a 4.67 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 32:18 K:BB across 34.2 innings. He lines up to face Milwaukee in next weekend's series.

Hader allowed a run on two hits and a walk in one inning Sunday, striking out two and earning a save over Atlanta.

Hader gave up a walk and a single to put runners on the corners with one out in the ninth. After a sacrifice fly by Dansby Swanson, he allowed a two-out hit before punching out William Contreras to avoid blowing the save. Hader is still perfect through nine save opportunities despite allowing a run for the first time this month. He's sporting a stellar 1.15 ERA and 28:7 K:BB through 15.2 innings

Rodriguez (1-2) allowed four runs on four hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Sunday versus Houston.

The southpaw got to work in the eighth inning, but Houston rallied against him, loading the bases with three singles before Yuli Gurriel hit a sacrifice fly. Chas McCormick added a two-run single against Rodriguez, and reliever Brett Martin allowed an inherited runner to score. Rodriguez had pitched 10 straight scoreless innings prior to Sunday. He now has a 4.76 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB in 12 appearances, and he's also collected five holds.

Scrubb (leg) allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one in one inning in Sunday's 6-2 win over Texas. He was charged with a blown save.

The right-hander was unavailable Saturday after he tweaked something in his leg, but it was apparently a short-term issue. Scrubb wasn't very effective Sunday, as he gave up a game-tying two-run home run to David Dahl in the seventh inning. The 26-year-old reliever owns a 4.70 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 6:4 K:BB across 7.2 innings after he began the season on the injured list with a shoulder injury.

Raley (2-2) pitched a perfect eighth inning and earned the win Sunday versus Texas. He struck out three.

The 32-year-old did his part to keep the game tied at 2-2 in the top of the eighth inning, and Houston's offense rallied for the lead in the bottom of the frame. Raley has been inconsistent for much of the season with a 7.31 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 16 innings. He's given up at least one run in nine of his 19 outings while adding a save and three holds.

Lange was optioned to Triple-A Toledo after Sunday's loss to the Cubs.

Lange delivered a scoreless inning Sunday but has mostly struggled with a 7.43 ERA this season. The 25-year-old will attempt to get back on track at Triple-A.
