Mejia retired the only batter he faced to earn the save in Friday's 4-3 win over the Giants.

Jordan Romano initially got the save chance, but he put four of the six batters he faced on base. Mejia inherited a bases-loaded situation and got Bryce Eldridge to ground out, ending the threat. This was Mejia's first save since May 18 versus the Rangers, and after some bumpy performances in late May and early June, he's seen his high-leverage opportunities decrease. The reliever has a 5.74 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 44:22 K:BB through 42.1 innings this season, and he's added four saves and six holds.

Gordon allowed one run on eight hits and a walk while striking out one over five innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Friday.

Gordon didn't have a great outing, but he was good enough to limit damage. Just two of the Giants' eight hits off him went for extra bases -- a solo home run by Rafael Devers and a double by Drew Gilbert. Gordon had allowed five homers and 10 runs over his last 10 innings coming into Friday. The right-hander is now at a 6.44 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 47:11 K:BB through 50.1 innings across 12 games (five starts) this season.

Morgan (knee) began a throwing progression this week, per MLB.com.

Morgan has been on the IL since late June due to soreness in his left knee. The righty reliever had been pitching pretty well prior to getting hurt, posting a 2.08 ERA and 1.27 WHIP with an 11:2 K:BB over 8.2 innings spanning seven appearances since the calendar flipped to June. Morgan isn't expected to return to San Diego by the All-Star break, but he could be activated before the end of July.

Diaz (elbow) threw live batting practice Wednesday and is approaching a minor-league rehab assignment, per MLB.com.

The live BP was Diaz's second over a four-day span and marked another step forward in his recovery from the elbow surgery he underwent in late April. The expectation remains that Diaz will need to embark on a rehab stint before being activated from the 60-day IL, but even so he appears in line to return to the Dodgers' bullpen not long after the All-Star break.

The White Sox traded Eisert and Jacob Gonzalez to the Pirates on Friday in exchange for minor-league reliever Jaden Woods and the 34th pick in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Eisert has struggled to find his footing in the big leagues this season, logging a 5.93 ERA and 1.24 WHIP through 27.1 innings with the White Sox. Unless a change of scenery sparks a significant turnaround, the 28-year-old southpaw is likely to remain in a middle-relief role with the Pirates.

The Giants reinstated Winn (elbow) from the injured list Friday.

Winn will return to the Giants' bullpen after spending nearly a month on the shelf due to a right elbow strain. During his rehab assignment, the 28-year-old fired three scoreless innings while striking out three batters and walking two across three appearances. Now healthy, he figures to reclaim a high-leverage role and could be in the mix for saves if Caleb Kilian continues to struggle.

Hurt will start a bullpen game for the Dodgers on Friday versus the Diamondbacks, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

Hurt has plenty of past starting experience, but he's been a reliever almost exclusively since 2024 and hasn't recorded more than four outs in an appearance for the Dodgers in 2026. With no long relievers on their roster, the Dodgers will employ a true bullpen game after Shohei Ohtani (knee) was scratched from what was scheduled to be his final start before the All-Star break.

Holmes (fibula) threw a live batting practice session Friday at Citi Field, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

It's the first time Holmes has faced hitters since he suffered a fractured right fibula back in mid-May. The right-hander could begin a rehab assignment shortly after the All-Star break. He posted a 2.39 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 45:18 K:BB through 52.2 innings before getting hurt.

The Mets recalled Myers from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday.

Myers was just sent down Thursday, but he's already back to grab the roster spot vacated by the injured Mark Vientos (hand). The right-hander has collected a 6.14 ERA in three starts and 22 relief outings for the Mets this season.

The Brewers designated McGee for assignment Friday.

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Bryse Wilson. McGee has made two scoreless appearance for the Brewers this season and holds a 5.62 ERA and 43:17 K:BB over 41.2 innings with Triple-A Nashville.
