Webb was recalled by Atlanta on Friday.

Webb has been passable enough in his 19 major-league innings this season, though his 4.74 ERA and 20.0 percent strikeout rate certainly won't lead to many high-leverage opportunities. He owns a far better 2.21 ERA in 20.1 frames for Triple-A Gwinnett, backed by a strong 34.1 percent strikeout rate. Kyle Muller was optioned in a corresponding move.

Finnegan (4-4) was tagged with the loss during the second game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets after allowing one run on one hit across one-third of an inning.

Finnegan had the task of sending the game to extra innings after the Nationals rallied to score three runs in the top of the seventh, but he allowed a walkoff homer to Pete Alonso with one out. This ended Finnegan's run of 10 straight appearances without allowing an earned run, though his role as the team's closer shouldn't be in jeopardy going forward.

Reyes allowed two runs (one earned) on a hit and no walks while striking out two in the ninth inning to earn the save in Thursday's win over the Pirates.

Reyes had allowed just one unearned run in three innings across his last three appearances, but he fared worse in Thursday's outing by giving up a two-run homer to Bryan Reynolds. However, the righty bounced back and struck out the final two batters he faced. Reyes has earned three saves in his last four appearances, boosting his total to 27 on the season, and he's posted a 2.25 ERA with six strikeouts in four innings during that time.

Lamet (forearm) has undergone a procedure to clean out a hip infection, Bill Center of Padres.com reports.

The good news is that the injury has nothing to do with Lamet's forearm. He's reportedly made steady progress in his return from the arm issue, most recently tossing a 20-pitch batting practice session Tuesday. However, manager Jayce Tingler did admit that Lamet's hip procedure will sideline him for at least another week. No further timeline has been established.

White (0-1) allowed two earned runs on three hits and three walks while striking out four across four innings to take the loss Thursday against the Phillies.

White allowed a solo home run in the first inning to Bryce Harper, but was effective in preventing runs otherwise. His three walks are a concern, and he threw 37 of his 59 pitches for strikes while inducing eight whiffs. White has yet to pitch more than four innings in any big-league outing this season, but he could have the chance to stick in the rotation as the Dodgers' pitching staff remains shorthanded.

Beede was placed on the injured list Thursday due to lower back pain, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Beede was placed on the injured list earlier Thursday, though the reason was originally undisclosed. His timeline remains unclear, but he could return by Aug. 19 if he progresses quickly enough in his recovery. Beede has struggled since being optioned to Triple-A Sacramento, posting a 6.92 ERA and 2.08 WHIP across 13 innings.

Knehr was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Thursday.

Knehr returned to the majors at the beginning of August, and he logged a 1.23 ERA and 0.82 WHIP in 7.1 innings across three appearances. Right-hander Nabil Crismatt was recalled to take his place in the bullpen.

Rainey was returned to Triple-A Rochester following Thursday's doubleheader against the Mets, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

Rainey served as the 27th man Wednesday, and he remained in the big-league bullpen for Thursday's twin bill. The right-hander allowed two runs on three hits and no walks in a relief inning during Game 2 on Thursday, and he'll head back to the minors following his lackluster performance.

Gilbert will start Saturday's game against the Padres, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Gilbert joined the major-league club in early August, and he's struck out five in 3.2 scoreless innings across three relief appearances. The southpaw worked mainly as a starter at Triple-A Reno to begin the year, so he should be able to handle a normal workload in his first major-league start.

Nolin (0-1) took the loss in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Nationals. He allowed four runs on eight hits with two strikeouts and zero walks in three innings.

Nolin made his first MLB appearance since 2015, and New York didn't have any issues getting on base against him. It'll likely only be a spot start for the left-hander since Washington has three scheduled off days within the next couple weeks.
