The Giants transferred Winn (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Brett Harris, who was claimed off waivers. Winn is now officially out for the season due to right elbow neuritis.

Brown (neck) has been ruled out for the remainder of the season, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Brown has been out since June with a stress reaction in his neck, and he had been cleared to face live hitters before suffering a setback last week. Now set to remain out for the rest of the season, he'll close the book on what seemed to be a promising 2026 campaign in which he posted a 1.85 ERA and 0.94 WHIP with a 65:19 K:BB over 68 innings.

Tidwell (0-2) took the loss Thursday against Pittsburgh, allowing two runs on two hits and five walks over five innings. He struck out five.

Tidwell struggled with his command Thursday, throwing just 49 of his 95 pitches for strikes while issuing five walks, matching a season high. The 25-year-old Tidwell has dropped back-to-back starts, while giving up 14 runs over 20 innings in his last four outings. Overall, his ERA sits at 4.43 across 42.2 innings this season with a 1.24 WHIP and 36:18 K:BB. Tidwell's currently in line to face the Cardinals at home his next time out.

Montgomery earned the save in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Giants, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Montgomery has now converted eight straight save chances while allowing just two runs over his last 26 innings. The southpaw looks to have tightened his grip on the ninth-inning job in Pittsburgh, as he's lowered his ERA to 2.97 with a 1.06 WHIP and 90:22 K:BB across 57.2 innings this season.

The Mets claimed Weston off waivers from the Orioles on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse.

Weston pitched a scoreless inning during his MLB debut back in May but owns a 7.89 ERA and 1.94 WHIP through 51.1 frames in the minors. The Mets will add the 26-year-old to their 40-man roster despite his poor performance and keep him at Triple-A, where he is likely to remain for the remainder of the season. Shawn Ross was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Scott took a blown save against St. Louis on Wednesday, when he allowed one run on one hit in one inning.

With the Dodgers clinging to a one-run lead in the eighth, manager Dave Roberts turned to Scott to face the heart of the Cardinals order. The lefty reliever gave up a leadoff double to Joshua Baez, and though Scott retired the following three batters, Baez came home to score the tying run on a sacrifice fly. The blown save was Scott's first since July 6 -- he had gone 8-for-8 on save chances while allowing only four runs over 18.1 frames spanning his past 20 appearances before Wednesday. Despite being deployed in the eighth inning against the Cardinals, Scott remains Los Angeles' top closing option in the absence of Edwin Diaz (neck), who is slated to initially work in lower leverage upon his eventual return.

The Pirates recalled Curtis from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.

Curtis hasn't given up a run across eight innings covering two relief outings this season for the Pirates, and he's collected a 4.90 ERA and 108:48 K:BB in 86.1 innings between Double-A Altoona and Indianapolis. The 24-year-old is stretched out to provide length in the Pittsburgh bullpen, if needed.

The Pirates placed Yates on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right shoulder impingement.

Yates hasn't pitched since Saturday, so it could be an injury that's nagged at him for a while. The veteran reliever will be eligible for activation Sept. 15, though it's unclear at this point if he will be ready to go on that date. Khristian Curtis is grabbing Yates' roster spot.

Mlodzinski struck out two batters over three perfect innings of relief in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Giants.

Mlodzinski appeared to be in line to start or pitch in bulk relief for Thursday's series finale, but the Pirates instead summoned him from the bullpen Wednesday after starter Bubba Chandler and reliever Brandon Eisert covered the first six innings. The right-hander retired all nine batters he faced as the Pirates clawed back from a two-run deficit to extend the game to extras.

The Pirates optioned Sisk to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Aiden Stepansky of MLB.com reports.

Sisk coughed up three runs while recording only one out in his last appearance Tuesday versus the Giants and has an ugly 1:9 K:BB over his last five outings with the big club. Wilber Dotel will absorb Sisk's spot on the active roster.
