Treinen (4-5) was credited with the win in Saturday's 5-2 triumph over the Rockies, firing a scoreless eighth inning.

Treinen made quick work of the three Rockies he faced in the eighth and fell in line for the win after Los Angeles scored three in the bottom of the inning. The 33-year-old has been red hot in the season's second half, sporting a 0.89 ERA and 0.59 WHIP with 23 strikeouts in 20.1 innings.

Weathers (4-7) took the loss in Saturday's 10-2 defeat by the Angels, allowing three runs on four hits with one strikeout in three innings.

While he lasted just three innings and 54 pitches, Weathers limited the damage to two home runs, though the Padres only scored two in the game. The 21-year-old now has four losses in five August appearances with a 12.42 ERA in 16.2 innings, and San Diego has now lost the last eight games in which Weathers has made an appearance.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed White would be called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to start Sunday's game against the Rockies, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

After striking out six over 7.1 scoreless innings in his last start with Los Angeles on Aug. 18, White was rewarded with a demotion to Triple-A. The transaction was likely just a means of roster management, as White will slot back into the big-league rotation after spending the minimum 10 days on the minors following his demotion. Roberts added that White would work as a traditional starter Sunday, after the right-hander had been deployed as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen on a few prior occasions this season.

Estevez appears to have taken over as Colorado's closer after Daniel Bard was removed from the role, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

Estevez picked up his third save of the season Friday while Bard pitched the eighth inning, and manager Bud Black confirmed after the contest that Bard was no longer the closer. Estevez wasn't officially named the replacement, but he's the logical candidate given he secured the save Friday and hasn't allowed a run in his past 11 appearances. He has a 4.08 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 47:16 K:BB over 46.1 innings for the season, but Estevez has pitched better since the All-Star break.

Manager Bud Black said after Friday's win over the Dodgers that Bard is no longer the Rockies' closer, Danielle Allentuck of The Denver Gazette reports.

The veteran right-hander pitched the eighth inning Friday while Carlos Estevez picked up the save, and the skipper confirmed the role change after the contest. Bard delivered a scoreless frame as a setup man to earn a hold, but he surrendered eight earned runs and had two blown saves over his previous five appearances to lose the job. He could end up receiving another look in the ninth inning if he can get back on track, but for now it appears Estevez will be the top option for saves in Colorado.

Diaz recorded a strikeout over a shutout inning of work Saturday night, picking up his 26th save of the season in the Mets' 5-3 win over the Nationals.

After going four straight appearances without a save, Diaz made the most of his opportunity Saturday night. Though he did plunk Riley Adams with a pitch to bring the tying run to the plate, the right-hander needed just 10 pitches to secure the win for the Mets. The 27-year-old now has a 2.00 ERA in August, well below his season mark of 3.48.

May (6-2) allowed one run on two hits with two strikeouts in an inning of work Saturday night, picking up the win in the Mets' 5-3 victory over the Nationals.

May allowed a run to score on a wild pitch Saturday night, but struck out Juan Soto with a runner in scoring position to limit the damage. While this outing does break the 31-year-old's five-appearance scoreless streak, May hasn't lost a decision since June 1.

Nolin allowed two runs on six hits with six strikeouts through 5.1 innings, taking a no-decision in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Mets.

In just his third major-league start since returning from a six-year hiatus, Nolin turned in his best outing of the season. He handled everybody not named Kevin Pillar on the night, as the only damage to his line came via two solo homers off the bat of the Mets' outfielder. He has now allowed four home runs in just 12.1 innings.

Phillips (quadriceps) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Phillips has been out for just over a week with a strained right quadriceps. His exact return date remains unclear, but it looks as though he may not need a long stay on the injured list.

Peters was placed on the 10-day injured list with a lower back strain Saturday.

Peters started against the Cardinals on Friday and allowed three runs on six hits while striking out four in five innings to take the loss. However, he apparently sustained a back injury and will miss at least one turn through the rotation as a result. It's not yet clear when the southpaw will be able to return.
