Hader struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 3-0 no-hitter win over Cleveland.

Corbin Burnes allowed just one walk in eight innings, and Hader finished off the combined no-no with his usual strong work in the ninth. The southpaw has racked up 10 of his 31 saves this year since the start of August without allowing a run in his last 12.1 innings. Hader owns a 1.42 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 86:19 K:BB across 50.2 innings overall, and he sits just six saves shy of his career-high 37 from 2019.

Yamamoto (shoulder) had his rehab assignment transferred to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Yamamoto allowed one run on three hits and no walks while striking out five in four innings at Low-A St. Lucie last week, and he'll now progress to the top level of the minors. The Mets haven't yet announced when the right-hander will be able to return, but he'll likely be in the mix to be activated sometime next week.

De Los Santos was optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

He gave up six earned runs in 2.2 innings over three appearances this month and has a 6.75 ERA on the season.

Medina was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

He has a 5.05 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 55 strikeouts in 67.2 innings at Triple-A. Medina will likely pitch in low-leverage situations.

Treinen notched a hold in Friday's win over the Padres, allowing two hits and striking out two over one scoreless inning.

The right-hander retired the first two batters he faced before getting into a bit of trouble when San Diego followed with a pair of singles. However, Treinen recovered by striking out Wil Myers to end the threat. The veteran reliever has tallied 28 holds on the campaign, the most in MLB. He has held opponents scoreless while notching an 11:3 K:BB across his past nine outings.

Jansen allowed one hit and no runs over one inning against the Padres on Friday to earn the save.

The veteran closer was handed the ball in the ninth inning and tasked with protecting a 3-0 Dodgers lead. He allowed a two-out Adam Frazier single but was otherwise very effective, needing only seven pitches (six of which were strikes) to close out the contest. Jansen has rebounded from a rough three-game stretch in July by going a perfect 10-for-10 in save chances over his past 19 appearances. Over that stretch, he has posted a 1.35 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB across 20 innings.

Stephenson was reinstated from the paternity list Saturday.

He has a 2.45 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 12 strikeouts and one win over his last 10 appearances (11 innings). Ben Bowden was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Doval allowed a hit in one-third of an inning and earned the win Friday versus the Cubs.

The right-hander got the final out of the sixth inning to keep the game tied at 1-1, and San Francisco's offense took over in the seventh. Doval owns a 5.65 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB across 14.1 innings this year. With the rotation thin on healthy arms, Doval could see a small uptick in work.

Leone pitched two perfect innings as the opener in Friday's 6-1 win over Chicago. He struck out two and did not factor in the decision.

Friday was just the second multi-inning appearance of the year for Leone, but he delivered strong work in his second turn as an opener. He's produced excellent ratios this year with a 1.48 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 40:20 K:BB across 42.2 innings. Leone could see additional opening opportunities while Alex Wood (COVID-19) and Johnny Cueto (elbow) remain unavailable, as manager Gabe Kapler has shown little hesitation to use a bullpen game to address an understaffed rotation.

Coonrod struck out one in a perfect inning during Friday's 11-2 loss to Colorado.

The right-hander was one of two Philadelphia pitchers, along with Cam Bedrosian, to keep runs off the board. Coonrod has been a steady presence this year with a 3.75 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB across 36 innings. He's logged a 2-2 record, two saves, eight holds and three blown saves. Since he returned from forearm tendinitis, he's allowed two runs on five hits, two walks and two hit batters while racking up 12 strikeouts in eight innings.
