The Padres will recall Bachar from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Bachar will join the Padres for the first time this season, and will make his MLB debut if he appears in a game. The 29-year-old has logged a 4.12 ERA with an 81:31 K:BB across 67.2 innings with El Paso and should operate out of the bullpen for San Diego.

Cave went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Yankees.

Cave was perfect at the plate, and a triple away from the cycle, before striking out in his final at-bat in the ninth inning. The 31-year-old continues to sit against left-handed pitching, but he has tallied three multi-hit efforts, three long balls and nine RBI over his past 10 games. On the year, he is hitting .262 with seven home runs, 34 RBI, 35 runs scored and five steals across 274 plate appearances.

Toglia went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and three additional runs scored in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Yankees.

Toglia was on base four times, including once on catcher's interference, and crossed home plate four times for the first time in his career. While the 26-year-old's power has dipped since a nine-homer July, he has reached based safely in 20 of 21 August contests and has gone deep twice in the past week. On the year, he is hitting .225 with 21 home runs, 46 RBI, 49 runs scored and six steals across 326 plate appearances.

Gray (11-9) allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings to take the loss versus the Twins on Saturday.

Trevor Larnach hit a pair of home runs off Gray, accounting for four of the five runs on the right-hander's line. It was a third straight loss for Gray, who has given up 13 runs across 16 innings with a 22:7 K:BB in that span. For the season, he's now at a 4.07 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 175:36 K:BB through 141.2 innings over 24 starts. Gray will look to right the ship in his next start, which is projected to be at home versus the Padres.

Fitzgerald went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mariners.

The shortstop has grown comfortable in the leadoff spot for the Giants. Fitzgerald is batting .307 (27-for-88) through 21 games in August with five homers, nine steals, 10 RBI and 14 runs. Despite the fact that he didn't take over a full-time role until after the All-Star break, the 26-year-old has a legitimate shot at a 20-20 campaign, as he's up to 14 homers and 16 steals in only 68 contests.

Walker gave up a hit and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his third save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Mariners.

The right-hander continues to thrive in a high-leverage role. Walker hasn't allowed an earned run since July 27, and over 11 appearances since then he's posted a 0.63 WHIP and 24:2 K:BB in 12.2 innings to go along with his pristine ERA and all three of his saves. Camilo Doval was called back up Saturday and worked in a setup role ahead of Walker, but there's no sign that the former is going to get back into the closer mix for the Giants any time soon.

Snell came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Mariners, giving up two runs over three no-hit innings. He walked six and struck out five.

The southpaw needed 74 pitches (42 strikes) to record only nine outs in his shortest outing since April 8. Snell hasn't walked more than three batters in a start since May 22 and he hadn't struck out fewer than eight since July 22, with Saturday's poor performance snapping a seven-game quality start streak in which he'd posted a 1.14 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and 67:13 K:BB in 47.1 innings. Snell will look to shake this one off in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Marlins.

Gallen (10-6) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two hits and four walks over six scoreless innings in a 4-1 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out nine.

The right-hander was dominant in his first quality start of August and 10th of the season, recording 30 called or swinging strikes among his 99 pitches and producing his highest strikeout total since he fanned 10 Tigers on May 18. Gallen has alternated solid starts with poor ones since the All-Star break, posting a 3.20 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 35:20 K:BB in 39.1 innings over that stretch, but he'll look to break that pattern in his next outing, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Dodgers.

The Phillies optioned Lazar to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Lazar's first MLB stint came to an end Saturday, and he'll head back to Lehigh Valley having not allowed a run in 5.2 innings for the Phillies. His spot on the 26-man roster will go to Kolby Allard, who's being called up to make a spot start Sunday.

Adames went 2-for-3 with two walks, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 9-5 win over the A's.

The shortstop has been displaying incredible plate discipline of late, drawing two walks in four of the last five games -- something he hadn't done even once since July 22. Adames' steal was his 14th of the year, adding to his new career high, and through 21 contests in August he's batting .270 (20-for-74) with five homers, two stolen bases, 14 RBI and 17 runs.
