Scott struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Rays.

Scott retired the side on 11 pitches (nine strikes) to preserve the narrow lead. This was his third scoreless outing in a row, and he's earned a save in each of them, giving him nine saves in 10 chances this season. The trusty southpaw has added a 2.32 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 38:3 K:BB through 31 innings. He has pitched two days in a row, so Alex Vesia or Blake Treinen could be called upon for a save chance if one surfaces Wednesday.

Santillan struck out two while allowing one hit over one inning to get his fourth save of the season Tuesday night against the Mets.

Santillan has converted the Reds' last two saves and now has six consecutive scoreless outings. He credits seeing a clip from him from two years ago that inspired him to clean up his delivery, Charlie Goldsmith reports. On a team hurting for reliable relievers, Santillan looks to be its best healthy reliever and likely to get most of the Reds' saves until Emilio Pagan returns.

Wrobleski (8-2) allowed three hits and struck out five without walking a batter over six shutout innings to earn the win over the Rays on Tuesday.

Wrobleski was efficient in this start, throwing 50 of 67 pitches for strikes in a strong showing of command. Shohei Ohtani's solo shot in the bottom of the sixth inning was all the help he needed, and the Dodgers' bullpen preserved the lead to give Wrobleski his first win in three starts in June. He's allowed four runs over 16.2 innings this month while adding a 10:2 K:BB. The southpaw is at a 2.72 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 50:16 K:BB through 79.1 innings over 13 appearances (12 starts) in a breakout campaign. Wrobleski is projected to make his next start in Minnesota.

Manager Dave Roberts said that Ohtani will work only as a pitcher Wednesday against the Rays, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

After supplying the Dodgers' lone run via a solo homer in Tuesday's 1-0 win over Tampa Bay, Ohtani will get a break from his duties as a DH and work solely as Los Angeles' starting pitcher Wednesday. The two-way star gave up a season-high four runs (three earned) during his most recent start against Pittsburgh but still owns an incredible 1.06 ERA and 0.84 WHIP through 67.2 innings on the year.

Rumfield went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 5-2 win over the Cubs on Tuesday.

Rumfield gave the Rockies their first lead with a two-run shot in the fourth inning. The long ball was his third over a red-hot seven-game span during which Rumfield has batted .357 (10-for-28) with eight extra-base hits and seven RBI. The hot stretch has pushed his season OPS up to .821, third best among qualified MLB rookies.

Hill earned a save against the Cubs on Tuesday by tossing a perfect ninth inning.

With Colorado up by three runs heading into the bottom of the ninth inning, manager Warren Schaeffer turned to Hill to close things out. The right-hander did so without any drama, setting the side down in order on 12 pitches. It was the first save of Hill's career in his 67th outing, all of which have been out of the bullpen. Hill does have a career-high 11 holds on the campaign, so he's been given more high-leverage duties this year. The back of Colorado's bullpen is highly unsettled, and no pitcher on the squad has more than four saves this season, so it's certainly possible that Hill will get more save chances moving forward given his effectiveness Tuesday.

Feltner allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out seven batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against the Cubs on Tuesday.

Feltner fell behind quickly, giving up a homer to Pete Crow-Armstrong to begin the bottom of the first inning. He yielded another run in the second but kept Chicago off the scoreboard thereafter. Feltner's offense got him three runs and the lead in the top of the fourth frame, but the right-hander was pulled with two outs in the bottom of the inning having thrown 104 pitches. That was easily a season-high mark -- Feltner had previously topped out at 87 pitches in a start against the Dodgers on April 18. Part of the reason for the veteran hurler's elevated pitch count was that the Cubs had trouble putting the ball in play against him, as Chicago batters swung and missed 13 times and fouled off 21 pitches, though that at least helped him to a season-best seven punchouts. Feltner will carry a 5.05 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 33:16 K:BB through 41 innings into his next start, which is lined up to come at home versus Boston.

Crow-Armstrong went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Rockies.

One night after collecting his first career cycle, Crow-Armstrong couldn't reproduce the volume of hits, but he still managed his 14th home run of the season. The 24-year-old has gone deep eight times in his last 16 games, and he's batting a robust .417 this month with 10 RBI and 11 runs scored. Crow-Armstrong is back to being a high-level fantasy star.

Cabrera was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rockies with a right hand cramp, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Cabrera made it through 4.1 innings Tuesday before one of the Cubs' trainers came out to the mound to look at his hand. The initial concern was that the 28-year-old was dealing with blisters -- something that's already caused him to spend time on the IL this season -- but he was instead pulled due to an unrelated issue. It's unlikely that his cramps will force him back onto the IL, but it's something the Cubs will presumably monitor leading up to his next start.

Edman is expected to start at third base Wednesday against the Rays, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Edman was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday after missing the entirety of the season to this point while recovering from offseason surgery on his right ankle. Although he isn't in the starting lineup Tuesday, the 31-year-old stated that he will make his 2026 starting lineup debut at the hot corner in Wednesday's series finale. With Shohei Ohtani expected to the draw the start on the mound in the series finale, it's possible that Ohtani will be absent from the lineup, pushing Max Muncy to designated hitter while Edman takes over at third base.
