Winn struck out one and gave up a hit and no walks over 1.2 scoreless innings to pick up a save in Wednesday's 1-0 win over Milwaukee.

Winn was called upon to record the last five outs of the game to earn his second career save, and first since 2023. The 28-year-old came in and got Gary Sanchez to ground into an inning-ending double play and pitched around a leadoff double by Christian Yelich in the ninth. No pitcher in the Giants' bullpen has gotten more than three saves this season, and with Winn being second on the team in appearances and already having 11 holds, he could soon get more ninth-inning opportunities.

Webb (3-4) earned the win Wednesday against the Brewers, giving up no runs on one hit and one walk with four strikeouts across seven innings.

Webb carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning before Brice Turang lined an opposite-field single. The right-hander's groundball rate of 58.2 percent (12 groundouts) was in full effect as the Brewers mostly managed weak contact. This was Webb's first scoreless outing of the year as he is coming off a subpar start to the season. Webb had a 4.82 ERA entering Wednesday even though his underlying stuff (34.2 percent chase rate) has been good. The 29-year-old is slated to make his next start at home against the Nationals.

Gasser (0-2) picked up the loss Wednesday, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over five innings during a 1-0 loss against the Giants. He struck out five.

Gasser was called up Wednesday just a couple of hours before his start and delivered his best start of the season. In his third start this year, Gasser limited his walks after giving up six in his first two outings, and the only run he surrendered was a solo home run to Victor Bericoto. Despite the strong showing, the 27-year-old Gasser could still be sent down if the Brewers believe Brandon Woodruff (shoulder) is ready to pitch again next week.

Buehler did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Phillies. He allowed a run on four hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings.

Buehler was solid Wednesday, as he held the Phillies scoreless before allowing a lone run in the fifth inning. The right-hander has now held opponents to two runs or fewer in four of his last five starts, posting a 3.81 ERA in that span (26.2 innings). Buehler's lowered his ERA to 4.53 on the season with a 1.28 WHIP and 49:20 K:BB across 12 starts (57.2 innings). He's tentatively scheduled to face the Reds at home his next time out.

Duran earned the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over San Diego, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Duran is now a perfect 14-for-14 in save chances this season. He's given up just one run in his last 12 innings, striking out 21 in that span. Duran's ERA is down to 1.37 across 19.2 innings this year with a 0.86 WHIP and 31:5 K:BB as he continues to be one of the most reliable closers in MLB.

Sanchez (7-2) earned the win Wednesday over the Padres, allowing a run on four hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out eight.

Sanchez was stellar again Wednesday as he blanked the Padres for six innings before allowing a lone run on a Jackson Merrill two-out single in the seventh, ending his scoreless streak at 50.2 innings, the fifth longest in MLB history. Sanchez's ERA sits at a league-best 1.46 through 13 starts (86.1 innings) this season with a 1.09 WHIP and a superb 103:17 K:BB. The southpaw's next outing is tentatively scheduled to come on the road next week in Toronto.

Ohtani won't be in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

Ohtani is set to work as a pitcher and a hitter Wednesday, so the Dodgers will give him a full day to rest and recover during Thursday's series finale. The two-way star has been looking much more like his usual self at the plate recently, slashing .385/.467/.667 across his last 10 games, and he remains dominant on the mound with a 0.82 ERA through 55 innings on the season.

Tovar isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Tovar will get a chance to regroup Wednesday after going 0-for-9 with six strikeouts over the first two games of the series. Willi Castro will shift to shortstop in Tovar's absence, opening up second base for Edouard Julien.

Henderson received an injection in his back Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Henderson was placed on the injured list Tuesday with a lower-back strain, and the Brewers anticipate him returning to the rotation sometime in late June or early July. Robert Gasser, Coleman Crow and Shane Drohan have all received starts while the Brewers look for ways to replace Henderson in the rotation.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday that Burnes (elbow) has been shut down from throwing after suffering a teres major strain, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Burnes has been throwing to live hitters over the past couple of weeks while working his way back from a Tommy John procedure he underwent last June, and he reportedly felt something in his side/shoulder during his last session. The team is hopeful that the 31-year-old righty will still be able to return sometime in September, though a more precise timeline will likely take shape once he's cleared to restart his throwing program.
