Suter (8-4) took the loss in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Mets. He allowed two runs (one earned) on a hit and a walk while failing to record an out. He also hit a batter.

Suter allowed the first two batters he faced to reach before Jeff McNeil's walkoff two-run single completed the Mets' comeback. After a run of seven straight scoreless outings spanning 6.2 innings, Suter has given up three runs (two earned) in his last two appearances. For the year, he has a 3.70 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 41:15 K:BB, five holds and five blown saves through 41.1 innings.

Hader allowed a solo home run and struck out two in one inning in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Mets. He was charged with a blown save.

The southpaw gave up a game-tying solo shot to Jose Peraza in the bottom of the seventh inning. This was Hader's first blown save of the year -- he had converted his previous 20 chances with little trouble. The hiccup Wednesday ticked his ERA up to a still-superb 0.80 with a 0.74 WHIP and 57:12 K:BB across 33.2 innings.

Diaz (3-2) allowed an unearned run while walking two, hitting a batter and striking out two in one inning, earning the win in Game 1 of Wednesday's doubleheader versus Milwaukee.

Diaz loaded the bases and plunked Christian Yelich to force in a run, but he was able to limit the damage. Jeff McNeil's two-RBI walkoff single gave Diaz his second win in his last four outings. The Mets' closer has a steady 2.94 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 45:13 K:BB across 33.2 innings while also converting 18 of 19 save chances.

Crowe allowed two runs on six hits and a pair of walks in 4.2 innings, striking out four and not factoring into the decision of Wednesday's 14-3 loss to Atlanta.

The righty has now allowed two runs in four of his last five starts and has an ERA of 6.05 in 2021. Crowe has failed to provide significant length in his starts this season, completing six innings just once in twelve outings. Steven Brault (lat) may usurp Crowe in the rotation once healthy, but he isn't expected back until the end of July, meaning the latter will likely remain in the starting mix following the All-Star break.

Abbot was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Wednesday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

The right-hander will rejoin the big-league club after spending the past couple weeks in the minors. He's worked out of the bullpen for the Cubs this season with four runs allowed over 8.1 frames in four appearances, but he's operated as a starter at Triple-A. Abbott and Trevor Williams should be in the mix for a spot start Sunday with Jake Arrieta (hamstring) landing on the injured list.

Manager Dave Roberts said White will be recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

White has bounced back in forth between the majors and Oklahoma City since being first recalled in late April. The right-hander currently holds a 3.77 ERA through 14.1 big-league innings, and he should have a decent chance of appearing in the Dodgers' bullpen game Wednesday.

Reed will start Wednesday's game against the Marlins, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Reed made his major-league debut as a reliever in Tuesday's game against Miami and allowed an unearned run on two hits and a walk while striking out one in two-thirds of an inning. It's not yet clear how long he'll be able to last Wednesday, as the Dodgers plan to treat the contest as a bullpen game.

Alexander allowed two hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning against Miami on Tuesday but did not give up any runs.

The left-hander came on in the ninth inning of a tie game and allowed a single and a walk to the first two batters he faced. After striking out Joe Panik, Alexander allowed an infield single that loaded the bases. He then picked up another strikeout -- this time getting Jazz Chisholm swinging -- before giving way to Blake Treinen, who ended the frame by inducing a groundout. In two appearances since coming off the injured list Monday, Alexander has pitched 1.2 scoreless innings, allowing three hits and a walk while striking out three.

Hjelle (leg) was activated from the 7-day minor-league injured list and pitched four shutout innings versus Double-A Binghamton on Sunday. He allowed just two hits and struck out four.

The right-hander missed a little over two weeks with the leg injury. Hjelle has done well at Richmond this season with a 3.11 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 46:10 K:BB across 37.2 innings.

Weathers (4-2) got the win Tuesday over the Nationals despite allowing four runs on seven hits while striking out two over 5.1 innings.

Weathers was fortunate to come away with a win after a shaky performance. He allowed seven hits but all four runs he gave up came via the long ball after Josh Harrison cranked a three-run blast and Juan Soto had a solo shot. At just 21 years old, Weathers has held his own against big-league hitters this season with a 3.02 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 41:17 K:BB over 56.2 innings. He's expected to take the mound one more time at home against the Rockies over the weekend before the All-Star break gets underway.
