Conine went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Mets.

Getting the start at DH and batting ninth, Conine took Daniel Duarte deep in the sixth inning for his 10th homer of the season and third in the last six games. Owen Caissie (calf) was activated from the IL on Saturday, giving Conine more competition for playing time, but he's performing well enough to maintain a regular spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching. Over his last 28 games, Conine is batting .313 (25-for-80) with eight long balls, 15 runs and 16 RBI.

Bachar recorded his second save of the season in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Mets, allowing one hit and striking out two over three scoreless relief innings.

The right-hander needed just 35 pitches (26 strikes) to get the job done and give most of the rest of the Marlins' bullpen a breather. The three innings tied for Bachar's longest appearance of the season, and a bumpy July may have taken him out of the mix for higher-leverage opportunities. Over his last 13.2 innings, Bachar has served up four homers and stumbled to a 6.58 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB.

Phillips (3-5) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits over five innings in a 6-2 victory over the Mets. He struck out three without walking a batter.

A Tyrone Taylor homer in the second inning accounted for all the damage off Phillips, who tossed an efficient 65 pitches (44 strikes) before exiting. The right-hander has given up two earned runs or fewer in five straight outings, a stretch in which he's gone just 2-2 but has a 3.54 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB over 20.1 innings. Phillips is set to make his next start at home next weekend against the Angels.

Stock will be called up from Triple-A Syracuse to start the Mets' series finale against the Marlins on Sunday, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Stock is in line to make his first major-league appearance since June 8, 2025 and his first start in the majors since 2021. The 36-year-old right-hander opened the season on the shelf at Syracuse while recovering from thoracic outlet syndrome surgery, which he underwent in March. He was cleared to begin a rehab assignment June 19 and allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine across 7.2 frames in two starts upon returning from Syracuse's injured list earlier this month. Stock will likely be in line for a limited workload Sunday and may be in store for just one start until the Mets get Clay Holmes (fibula) back from the 60-day IL.

Mathews (0-1) took the loss Saturday as the Cardinals fell 5-1 to the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks over five-plus innings. He struck out three.

In his big-league debut, Mathews kept things close but got little help from his offense, tossing 63 of 97 pitches for strikes and getting pulled after giving up a bunt single to Daulton Varsho to lead off the sixth. The Cards have yet to confirm whether the 25-year-old southpaw will stick around in the rotation, but with Dustin May likely to be moved by Monday's trade deadline, a permanent spot could be about to open up. If he stays on turn, Mathews lines up to make his next start at home next weekend against the Rockies.

The Dodgers recalled Mills from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Mills spent all of July in Triple-A, where he allowed three hits and one walk while striking out seven across 6.2 innings (six outings). The addition of Mills and Kyle Hurt will bolster the Dodgers' bullpen, with Will Klein (elbow) moving to the 15-day injured list and Cole Irvin being designated for assignment in corresponding moves.

The Dodgers recalled Hurt from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Both Hurt and Mills have been called up from Triple-A, with Will Klein (elbow) moving to the 15-day IL and Cole Irvin being designated for assignment in corresponding moves. Hurt has spent the majority of the 2026 season in the majors, where he has a 4.59 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, eight holds, one save and a 39:18 K:BB over 33.1 innings.

The Dodgers designated Irvin for assignment Saturday, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Irvin made his 2026 major-league debut Friday, when he took the loss in a bulk-relief role against the Red Sox and allowed six runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out five across six innings. He has spent most of the season with Triple-A Oklahoma City, where he has a 9-6 record across 20 starts with a 3.49 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 98 innings. In corresponding moves, both Kyle Hurt and Wyatt Mills were recalled from Triple-A while Will Klein (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list.

The Dodgers placed Klein on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to right elbow discomfort, Maddie Lee of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Klein has given up 10 runs (eight earned) over his last five outings spanning six innings. His recent struggles may be partly due to his right elbow injury, and while a minimum stint on the IL would mark a mid-August return, the Dodgers will have a better grasp of Klein's recovery timeline once he's cleared to resume baseball activities. In corresponding moves, Kyle Hurt and Wyatt Mills were both recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City while southpaw Cole Irvin was designated for assignment.

Arraez was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Padres due to cramping, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Arraez experienced the symptoms during pregame warmups and was removed from the Giants' lineup for "precautionary reasons" after exiting due to the same issue Friday. Osleivis Basabe will now start at second base and bat ninth while Bryce Eldridge hits out of the leadoff spot.
