Bednar secured the save Saturday against Philadelphia, throwing a clean ninth inning.

Bednar pushed his scoreless streak up to 23.2 innings Saturday. The 31-year-old right-hander last blew a save during his May 17 outing against the Mets, successfully converting each of his last 10 save opportunities. Through 44.2 innings on the year, Bednar sports a 2.42 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 49:14 K:BB with 20 saves in 22 attempts.

Keller took a no-decision Saturday against the Yankees, allowing one run on two hits and no walks in three innings. He struck out three.

Making his major-league debut, Keller fared well on the bump while acting as a long reliever Saturday. Austin Wells tagged the 32-year-old right-hander for a solo home run in the third inning, but Keller was impressive otherwise against a formidable Yankees lineup. Philadelphia has had a hard time finding stability out of their fifth rotation spot since sending Andrew Painter down to the minors for seasoning, but Keller is tentatively lined up to take the ball next in Baltimore for now.

Weathers (4-7) earned the win Saturday against Philadelphia, allowing one run on six hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Weathers held an imposing Phillies lineup in check Saturday, keeping the ball in the park while inducing six groundouts on the evening. The left-hander is still searching for some consistency -- he's given up at least four runs in half of his last 12 outings while yielding two runs or fewer in the other half. Weathers will take a 4.25 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 122:30 K:BB over 108 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the White Sox.

Baker secured the save Saturday against Cleveland, allowing no runs on one hit and no walks in the ninth inning.

Baker extended his scoreless streak to eight innings Saturday. Additionally, the right-hander last failed to convert a save chance during his May 13 outing in Toronto, which is a stretch of 22 outings without a blown save. Through 39.1 innings in 2026, Baker boasts a 1.60 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB with 27 saves in 30 opportunities.

Manager Aaron Boone said Bellinger suffered a left hamstring injury in Saturday's win over the Phillies, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Bellinger will undergo further testing after he was injured legging out a double in the top of the eighth inning Saturday. At the time of his departure, Bellinger was 2-for-4 with the double and one RBI. He's currently on a six-game hitting streak and has recorded at least one base knock in 11 of his past 12 contests. Bellinger has a .770 OPS with 11 homers and 53 RBI on the season.

Martinez (10-2) earned the win Saturday against Cleveland, allowing no runs on four hits and no walks in six innings. He struck out five.

It was a brilliant performance by Martinez, who scattered four singles across six shutout frames Saturday. The veteran right-hander is on an excellent run on the hill, either turning in a quality start or working at least five innings while yielding two runs or fewer in each of his past six appearances. Martinez will take a career-best 2.45 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and a 67:20 K:BB over 117.1 frames into his next scheduled outing against the White Sox.

Bibee (4-10) took the loss Saturday against Tampa Bay, allowing three runs on nine hits and two walks in six innings. He struck out five.

Bibee appeared to wear down as the outing went on Saturday, giving up each of his three runs across the fifth and sixth frames. Despite yielding his second-most hits of the year, the right-hander still managed to hold on for his third consecutive quality start and eighth in his last 10 outings. Bibee will carry a respectable 3.89 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 97:37 K:BB over 125 innings into his next scheduled appearance against Arizona.

The Dodgers plan to activate Diaz (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Diaz landed on the IL on April 20 and underwent surgery to remove loose bodies from his right elbow just a couple of days later. After a lengthy layoff, the veteran right-hander looks just about ready to rejoin the Dodgers while he's turned in a productive rehab assignment thus far. He'll make a final appearance Sunday with Triple-A Oklahoma City after pitching to a 1.80 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and 9:1 K:BB in five innings over his first six minor-league outings. Diaz should eventually reclaim the Dodgers' closer role from Tanner Scott, though the former could be eased back into the mix with a couple lower-leverage appearances upon his activation.

Bellinger left Saturday's game against the Phillies due to an apparent injury, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

After running out a double in the eighth inning, Bellinger appeared to hurt himself and was removed from the game in the bottom of the frame. Max Schuemann took over in left field for Bellinger, who should be considered day-to-day as he's evaluated.

The Dodgers plan to activate Hernandez (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

Hernandez began the season on the injured list while recovering from elbow surgery, then appeared in two games for the Dodgers in late May before landing right back on the IL after straining his left oblique. The veteran utility player has made good progress in his recovery over the past two months and looks ready to rejoin the big club after going 7-for-21 with a home run and a pair of doubles over six rehab games at Triple-A Oklahoma City. Once activated, Hernandez will likely be in store for a limited role, with most of his starts expected to come against left-handed pitching.
