Megill earned the save in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Phillies, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Megill made quick work of the Phillies, as he retired the side on just 11 pitches to notch his 30th save this season, matching his career high. Overall, Megill sports a 2.67 ERA with a 0.89 WHIP and 68:15 K:BB across 60.2 innings this year.

Sale took a no-decision Wednesday against the Reds, striking out 10 while allowing one run on four hits and no walks in 5.2 innings.

Sale looked sharp once again in what was a tune-up start ahead of the playoffs. The southpaw fell a lone out shy of extending his streak of quality starts to 10, and he fanned double-digit hitters for the fifth time this year. He'll end the regular season with a 2.16 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 200:31 K:BB in 162.2 innings for the ninth 200-strikeout campaign of his decorated career.

Nola (7-11) took the loss Wednesday against the Brewers, allowing four runs on four hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out eight.

Nola gave up solo home runs to Brice Turang and Christian Yelich in the first two innings before William Contreras tacked on two more runs with a two-out single in the third. Nola had been rolling coming into Wednesday's contest -- he held opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his previous eight outings, posting a 1.86 ERA across 48.1 innings in that span. The veteran right-hander will likely finish the regular season with a 4.54 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 177:59 K:BB across 32 starts (174.1 innings).

Henderson (11-3) earned the win Wednesday over the Phillies, allowing a run on four hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out three.

Henderson did a good job working through traffic Wednesday, as he held Philadelphia to a lone second-inning run en route to his 11th victory. Henderson went 5-1 with 1.93 ERA across 42 innings in his final seven starts this season. He'll likely wrap up an impressive regular-season with a 2.47 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 110:19 K:BB across 18 outings (98.1 innings).

Perdomo didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Twins, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out two.

Perdomo was another solid appearance overall for Perdomo, who's held opponents to two runs or fewer in four of his five appearances this season. The 24-year-old southpaw made a decent case to open the 2027 campaign in San Francisco's rotation. Perdomo will likely finish the year with a 3.65 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB across 24.2 innings.

The Padres designated Jacob for assignment Wednesday.

After turning in a 5.58 ERA and 1.54 WHIP across 61.1 innings at Triple-A El Paso, Jacob will lose his place on San Diego's 40-man roster to clear space for Jason Adam (shoulder), who returned from the 60-day IL on Wednesday. Jacob's career numbers in the majors are respectable (4.18 ERA, 1.23 WHIP), though his poor performance in the minors may deter other teams from claiming him off waivers.

The Padres optioned Canning to the Arizona Complex League on Wednesday.

Canning owns a 5.57 ERA and 1.51 WHIP through 85.2 innings with the Padres this season but has given up just one earned run while striking out 14 batters over his last 14.2 innings. Despite his improved performance, he'll be pushed out of San Diego's bullpen to make room for Jason Adam (shoulder), who returned from the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

The Padres reinstated Adam (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Adam has been held out of action since late June by a strained right shoulder, but he'll return in time to give the Padres' bullpen extra support as they push toward securing a wild-card spot. The 35-year-old righty held a 2.51 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 32.1 innings when he got injured, but the Padres may refrain from using him in high-leverage situations right away after he allowed nine earned runs in just 1.1 innings during his rehab assignment at Triple-A El Paso.

Davidson was removed from Wednesday's game against the Twins with a foot injury, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Davidson remained in the game for a while after fouling a ball off his foot in the sixth inning, but he was eventually replaced in the outfield when the Giants' defense took the field in the ninth. X-rays on his foot came back negative shortly after the game, per Pavlovic, but Scott Bandura and Grant McCray could be candidates to start in right field if Davidson is unable to play in Friday's series opener against the Dodgers.

The Dodgers optioned Hurt to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Noah Camras of SI.com reports.

Hurt pitched two shutout innings during his appearance Tuesday against the Padres but will now be sent back to the minors to make room for Tarik Skubal, who returned from the bereavement list Wednesday. Assuming Hurt has thrown is last pitch in the majors this season, he'll close out 2026 with a 4.14 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and a 58:23 K:BB over 45.2 innings.
