Estrada (knee) threw a bullpen session Saturday, his first since landing on the injured list June 5, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Estrada is in the midst of his second IL stint of the season, as he previously missed just under a month earlier in the campaign due to elbow tendinitis. The right-hander has had a slower recovery than expected from right knee inflammation, but his ability to get back on the mound represents a major step forward in the recovery process. He's expected to throw a couple more bullpen sessions this week before he resumes facing hitters after the All-Star break.

Scott blew a save against the Rockies on Monday, allowing three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two batters over one inning.

It wasn't a particularly intimidating situation for Scott, who entered in the ninth inning with Los Angeles holding a three-run lead against the team with the second-worst record in the majors. Still, the veteran lefty was unable to put Colorado away, giving up a trio of runs on two doubles, a single and two walks (one of which was intentional). It could have been even worse for Scott, but replay overturned a play at the plate on what was initially ruled the go-ahead run for the Rockies. The blowup followed a strong stretch during which Scott converted seven straight save opportunities while posting a 1.64 ERA and 17:0 K:BB over 11 innings spanning 12 appearances. With that in mind, he should remain Los Angeles' primary closer for the time being, though that will likely change when Edwin Diaz (elbow) returns, which is expected to happen shortly after the All-Star break.

Megill picked up the save Monday against the Cardinals. He allowed a hit and no walks while striking out two over a scoreless inning.

After allowing a leadoff single to Masyn Winn in the ninth inning, Megill retired the next three batters he faced to secure his 14th save of the season. The right-hander has been lights out of late, boasting a 13-inning scoreless streak dating back to June 10. Overall, Megill owns a 3.00 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 46:10 K:BB across 36 innings.

Drohan (4-2) earned the win Monday, allowing three runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks over six innings against the Cardinals. He struck out two.

Drohan didn't miss many bats with just five whiffs and two strikeouts, but he managed to churn out a quality start and earn the win. Since entering the rotation June 1, the southpaw has posted a 3.22 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 33:12 K:BB across 36.1 innings over seven starts. The 27-year-old rookie is tentatively lined up to make his final start before the All-Star break on the road Saturday against the Pirates.

Pfaadt (2-1) earned the win over San Diego on Monday, allowing four hits while striking out six batters over five scoreless innings.

Pfaadt put on an ultra-efficient performance, throwing 54 of 72 pitches for strikes and issuing zero walks. All four of the hits the right-hander surrendered were singles, and he didn't allow any Padres to reach second base. Pfaadt is still getting stretched back out after working out of the Arizona bullpen for over a month and then spending some time in the minors, but he's been great since returning to the big club while allowing just one run across 10.1 innings over two starts. He's lined up to next toe the rubber this weekend in what's projected to be a tough road matchup against the Dodgers.

Weaver picked up the save in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning win over Atlanta. He allowed one unearned run on a hit and two walks with a strikeout over one inning.

With closer Devin Williams having blown the initial save in the ninth inning, Weaver was called upon to pitch with a two-run lead in the 10th frame. The 32-year-old allowed the automatic runner at second base to score and loaded the bases with two outs but got Mauricio Dubon to ground out to secure the victory for the Mets. It marked Weaver's first successful save in three opportunities this season, though he has otherwise excelled in a setup role with a 1.89 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, 42:11 K:BB and 11 holds across 38 innings.

Scholtens (wrist) is scheduled to pitch three innings in a rehab appearance Tuesday in the rookie-level Florida Complex League, MLB.com reports.

A right wrist strain has shelved Scholtens since late May, but the right-hander is gearing up for a return at some point after the All-Star break. Given that the Rays are having him open his rehab assignment with a three-inning appearance, Scholtens looks as though he could be getting stretched out for a starting role, though he won't necessarily have a rotation spot waiting for him once he's activated. Scholtens made two starts and seven relief appearances for Tampa Bay prior to landing on the injured list, posting a 3.82 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB in 37.2 innings.

Williams blew the save in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning win against Atlanta. He allowed two runs on three hits and a walk with no strikeouts over two-thirds of an inning.

Williams entered with a two-run cushion in the ninth inning but was unable to secure the victory, surrendering a game-tying two-run homer to Matt Olson before eventually being lifted for Brooks Raley, who recorded the final out of the frame to send the game to an extra inning. While Williams has been shaky with a 4.85 ERA and 1.65 WHIP across 29.2 innings this season, Monday marked just his second blown save in 15 opportunities. Having pitched in back-to-back games, the right-hander will likely be unavailable for Tuesday's series opener against Kansas City.

Iglesias blew the save in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Mets. He allowed three runs on three hits and no walks while striking out one over one inning.

Iglesias entered with a one-run cushion in the ninth inning but was unable to secure the victory, surrendering a three-run homer to Juan Soto. Atlanta tied the game in the bottom half of the inning, but New York ultimately prevailed in 10 frames. Monday marked Iglesias' first blown save of the season after he entered the contest a perfect 17-for-17 in save opportunities. The right-hander now owns a 2.37 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB across 30.1 innings in 2026.

Lopez did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over five innings in a 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Mets. He struck out five.

With the exception of a Carson Benge solo homer in the second inning, Lopez was effective before departing after 80 pitches (52 strikes). In three starts since being moved back into the starting rotation, the right-hander has allowed three runs with a 12:3 K:BB across 13 innings. Overall, Lopez owns a 4-1 record with a 3.18 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 51:24 K:BB across 56.2 innings (21 appearances) and is lined up to make his next start Saturday against the Cardinals.
