Hader allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Rays.

After a blown save to close out May, Hader has pitched five straight scoreless innings in June while earning four saves in that span. The closer has been scored on in just four of 28 appearances while pitching to a 1.32 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 39:12 K:BB over 27.1 innings. He's 17-for-20 in save chances on the year and once again looks like one of the best relievers in baseball.

Beck was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento by the Giants on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Beck will take the roster spot of Wilmer Flores after Flores was placed on the injured list with a foot bruise. In his previous appearance with the Giants, Beck allowed two runs -- one earned -- over 4.1 innings versus the Cubs on June 11. He'll be a multi-inning relief option while with the major-league club.

Brebbia was placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 16, by the Giants on Saturday with a Grade 2 lat strain, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.

Brebbia has been one of the better relievers and openers for the Giants, as he has a 3.14 ERA and has been the starter in eight contests for the Giants. He'll miss at least two weeks while recovering, and Alex Wood was activated off the 15-day to start against the Dodgers on Saturday in a corresponding move.

Kolarek cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Kolarek was DFA'd by the Dodgers on Wednesday after making one appearance with the big-league squad, throwing 1.1 scoreless innings while striking out two. He will now rejoin the Triple-A bullpen, where he holds a 2.18 ERA and 1.39 WHIP through 20.2 innings.

The Dodgers designated Scott for assignment Saturday.

Scott allowed six earned runs over six innings after being promoted to the majors June 3, and he has now officially lost his spot on the Dodgers' roster. Scott has a nice Triple-A stat line (1.37 ERA, 1.20 WHIP) which helps his chances of getting claimed by another organization. Bryan Hudson was selected from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move and will take Scott's place in the Dodgers' bullpen.

The Dodgers selected Hudson's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Hudson has been very impressive this season in Triple-A, recording a 2.17 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with a whopping 51 strikeouts through 29 innings. The 26-year-old lefty has made three starts this season in the minors and is capable of pitching multiple innings in relief. Tayler Scott was designated for assignment to make room for Hudson on the roster.

The Marlins recalled Brazoban from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

With Edward Cabrera (shoulder) headed for the 15-day injured list, Brazoban will join the Marlins' pitching staff to provide depth to the bullpen. The 33-year-old righty began the season strong, but he holds an 8.71 ERA and 2.23 WHIP across his last nine appearances. He's capable of working in multiple innings.

Robinson cleared waivers Saturday and was sent outright to Double-A Biloxi, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Robinson was dumped from the 40-man roster Wednesday to make room for Raimel Tapia, and he will officially remain in the Brewers' minor-league system. The 23-year-old righty began the season in Triple-A Nashville, but he struggled his way down to Double-A, where he still holds a poor 9.75 ERA through 12 innings this season.

Matzek (elbow) played catch Saturday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Matzek underwent Tommy John surgery in October and has reportedly been throwing since the end of May. The 32-year-old reliever still has a long way to go in his rehab process and almost certainly won't be ready to return until next season, but it's a good sign to see Matzek get back to throwing with a bit of velocity.

The Rockies recalled Hollowell from Triple-A Albuquerque on Saturday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Hollowell has been solid out of the bullpen in Triple-A this season with a 1.54 ERA and 1.25 WHIP while striking out 14 batters through 11.2 innings. He has a bit of major-league experience from last season with Colorado -- he allowed six earned runs over seven frames and struck out eight. Hollowell will replace Dinelson Lamet on the Rockies' pitching staff after Lamet was DFA'd by the team Saturday.
