Iglesias notched a save in Friday's win over the Pirates. He tossed a scoreless ninth inning while allowing a hit and a walk, striking out one.

Iglesias has been one of the best closers in the majors this season and has gone 12-for-12 in save chances thus far. This time, he needed 19 pitches (12 strikes) to get the job done while holding a three-run lead, though he did allow two hitters to get on base. Iglesias has given up just two runs all season long, posting a 0.92 ERA and 0.97 WHIP across 19.2 innings in 19 outings in 2026.

Latz notched his ninth save of the season in Friday's win over the Guardians. He tossed two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out three.

Latz entered the game in the eighth inning and recorded the final six outs while throwing 21 of his 35 pitches for strikes. He has a tight grip on the closer role and has recorded a save in each of his last four trips to the mound, a span in which he's posted an 8:1 K:BB across 5.1 innings. On the season, Latz has gone 9-for-11 in save chances.

Gough (elbow) has struck out eight batters and allowed one earned run on four hits and one walk across 8.1 innings in his two starts since being reinstated from Single-A Ontario's 7-day injured list May 28.

Acquired from the Mariners in November, Gough didn't make his Dodgers organizational debut until mid-May while he completed his recovery from September 2024 Tommy John surgery. After making two rehab starts in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, Gough received the green light to join Ontario. The 22-year-old has delivered an impressive pair of starts for Ontario thus far and could get a promotion to High-A Great Lakes before long.

Neto went 1-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch and two stolen bases in Friday's 1-0 loss to the Dodgers.

Neto missed the previous three games while dealing with whiplash. The shortstop was able to make an impact on the basepaths in a game that lacked offense on both sides. Neto is 12-for-37 (.324) over his last 11 contests, but he's batting just .232 with a .768 OPS on the year. He's added 10 home runs, 10 steals, 27 RBI, 42 runs scored, 14 doubles and a triple through 61 games overall.

Detmers allowed two hits and two walks while striking out six over six scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Dodgers on Friday.

Detmers threw 58 of 91 pitches for strikes while dueling with Roki Sasaki in a low-scoring game. Over his last three starts, Detmers has allowed just four runs on eight hits and five walks while racking up 27 strikeouts across 19 innings. There's still some volatility, and playing for the Angels makes wins hard to come by. He's at a 4.26 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 88:24 K:BB through 74 innings across 13 starts this season. The southpaw's next start is projected to be at home versus the Astros.

Freeman went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 1-0 win over the Angels.

Freeman delivered a walk-off blast against Kirby Yates in the ninth inning in a game that was lacking in offense. Freeman has hit safely in nine of his last 11 contests, going 15-for-44 (.341) with four homers and 12 RBI in that span. On the year, the first baseman is batting .276 with an .838 OPS, 10 homers, 35 RBI, 32 runs scored, two stolen bases, 15 doubles and a triple over 61 games. His ratios have slipped a bit overall, but he's currently trending up.

Sasaki allowed two hits and two walks while striking out 10 over seven shutout innings in a no-decision Friday versus the Angels.

Sasaki had his best start of the season, but a rare quiet showing from the Dodgers' bats kept him from earning the win. He's been on a roll lately, allowing just five runs (four earned) with a 29:5 K:BB over 24.1 innings across his last four starts. Overall, Sasaki is at a 4.03 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 60:21 K:BB through 58 innings over 11 starts. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the White Sox.

Groover went 0-for-4 in Friday's 14-1 loss to the Nationals in his major-league debut.

Groover is set for a short-side platoon role as a corner infielder. The 24-year-old hit .322 with an .873 OPS, three home runs, 39 RBI, 37 runs scored, 16 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 56 games prior to his call-up. Groover could challenge Ildemaro Vargas for playing time at first base, and he also offers some cover at third if Nolan Arenado needs to rest his legs.

Garcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 14-1 loss to the Nationals.

Garcia went deep in the third inning, but that was all the scoring the Diamondbacks could muster. He has seen limited playing time since he was called up from Triple-A Reno on May 19, going 2-for-14 over four games during this stint in the big leagues. He's batting .176 with one homer, two RBI and two runs scored over 17 plate appearances in the majors this season.

Kelly (5-4) allowed seven runs on six hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out four over five innings to take the loss versus the Nationals on Friday.

Kelly had a strong May, but his first start in June was a dud. He allowed three home runs, which accounted for four of the seven runs on his line in his first loss since May 3 versus the Cubs. Kelly is now at a 5.71 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 37:25 K:BB through 58.1 innings over 10 starts this season. His next start is projected to be on the road versus the Marlins.
