Dubon went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 3-1 win over San Francisco.

Dubon logged his third multi-hit effort in his last five games, a span in which he's gone 9-for-22 (.409). The utility man hasn't been particularly active on the basepaths this season -- this was just his second steal on four attempts, with both successful thefts coming in June. He's now batting .267 with a .735 OPS, eight home runs, 43 RBI, 34 runs scored, 15 doubles and two triples over 76 contests.

Iglesias pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-1 win over San Francisco.

Iglesias has run into some struggles lately, allowing four runs (two earned) over his last 5.2 innings. He took two losses in that five-game span, while Friday's outing marked the first time in eight appearances in June in which he didn't allow a hit. Iglesias is still a perfect 16-for-16 in save chances while pitching to a 1.37 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB over 26.1 innings this season. While there are some warning signs, Iglesias doesn't appear to be at risk of losing the closing job any time soon, especially while Robert Suarez (elbow inflammation) is on the injured list.

Meyer (9-0) earned the win Friday against the Cardinals, allowing two hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings. He struck out five.

The right-hander spent the week on the bereavement list but returned to the active roster Friday without missing a turn through the rotation, picking up his third consecutive victory and tying a franchise record with his ninth straight winning decision. Meyer gave up just a pair of singles in addition to the free passes despite generating just eight whiffs on 89 pitches. The 27-year-old has been pitching well all season but has been particularly sharp across his past five outings with a 1.78 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 33:11 K:BB over 30.1 innings.

Waldrep allowed two hits and four walks while striking out three over two scoreless innings of relief in Friday's 3-1 win over San Francisco.

Waldrep made his 2026 debut with Atlanta on Friday after a delayed start to the season due to surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow. The right-hander had produced a 3.52 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 13:11 K:BB across three minor-league levels prior to his call-up. Waldrep doesn't appear to be fully stretched out -- he threw 55 pitches (28 strikes) in Friday's game. He also has some control issues to work through before he can be trusted with a starting role. Atlanta has a gap in its rotation that will likely last through July, so it's possible Waldrep and Atlanta's starter Friday, Reynaldo Lopez, end up working in some sort of tandem arrangement. Atlanta hasn't revealed its plans for the next time this spot in the rotation comes up next week at home versus St. Louis.

Lopez allowed one run on four hits and struck out one without walking a batter over three innings in a no-decision versus San Francisco on Friday.

Lopez threw 35 of 57 pitches for strikes. He's not fully stretched out after spending time in the bullpen for the last two months. He now has a 3.47 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 40:21 K:BB through 46.2 innings over 19 games (six starts) this season. Hurston Waldrep pitched two scoreless innings in relief during Friday's game, but he also walked four batters. The last spot in Atlanta's rotation figures to be in flux at least through the All-Star break. Lopez could ultimately stretch out more, but it wouldn't be surprising if some sort of piggyback arrangement emerges since Waldrep also isn't fully stretched out after returning from elbow surgery he underwent in February. This spot in the rotation comes up again at home versus St. Louis next week.

Rea did not factor into the decision Friday in Milwaukee, allowing one run on five hits and three walks over five-plus innings. He struck out four.

The right-hander held the Brewers scoreless through five frames, but he was pulled after allowing the first two batters of the sixth inning to reach, with one of those coming around to score. Rea has been an inconsistent rotation option for the Cubs this year with a 4.80 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 63:31 K:BB across 84.1 innings, though he's given up just one run on eight hits with a 7:3 K:BB over 10.1 frames in his past two starts.

McDonald (2-6) allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three over 5.1 innings to take the loss versus Atlanta on Friday.

McDonald gave up a run in each of the second, third and fifth innings. This was his third consecutive losing start and his sixth defeat in his last seven games. He's given up 16 runs (14 earned) over 22 innings across five starts in June. That has inflated his ERA to 4.94 with a 1.35 WHIP and 45:19 K:BB over 51 innings across 10 starts this season. If McDonald continues to struggle, he could be relegated to the bullpen or sent down to Triple-A Sacramento. McDonald's next start is projected to be on the road in Arizona.

Treinen does not have any structural damage in his injured right elbow, per MLB.com.

Treinen landed on the injured list June 20 due to right elbow inflammation. He subsequently underwent imaging, which revealed only inflammation due to wear and tear. As such, Treinen could be back with the Dodgers' bullpen sometime in July.

Misiorowski (9-3) earned the win Friday, allowing one run on two hits and four walks over six innings in a 6-2 win over the Cubs. He struck out eight.

The hard-throwing righty didn't have his best command Friday, throwing 69 of 107 pitches for strikes while tying a season high with four free passes. Misiorowski still delivered a ninth straight quality start and has surrendered just five earned runs (0.74 ERA) with an 87:12 K:BB across 61 innings during that span. Another divisional matchup with the Reds awaits in Milwaukee next week.

Hernandez (hamstring) has played three rehab games with Triple-A Oklahoma City and has gone 3-for-11 with three home runs and six RBI.

Hernandez kicked off his rehab assignment June 23 and has since played three games, all in left field, in four days. Each of his three hits so far have left the park, and he's struck out only once across 11 plate appearances. Per MLB.com, Hernandez could return to the big-league Dodgers for the start of the team's series against the Athletics this Monday.
