Gsellman (triceps) said he felt great after long-tossing from 100 feet Tuesday, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

He remains on track to try to return before the end of the season. Even if he makes it back, he would likely return in a low-leverage role.

Coonrod surrendered two runs on two hits over two-thirds of an inning in Tuesday's 5-4 win over Pittsburgh.

Coonrod entered the eighth inning with a five-run lead, but the righty's struggles helped contribute to the Pirates getting back into the game. The 26-year-old has pitched relatively well for the Giants this season, posting a 3.22 ERA despite carrying an ugly 1.4 K/BB ratio through 22.1 innings. The timing of Coonrod's rough outing couldn't have been worse, as closer Will Smith (back) was unavailable, and it was rookie Shaun Anderson who came in to clean up the mess created for his first career save. The latter figures to see any additional save chances until Smith is ready to return, while Coonrod projects to stick in middle relief.

Wilson allowed two hits and a walk with one strikeout during a four-out save to secure a 3-2 victory against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

The Diamondbacks had the tying run at third base with one out in the ninth, but Wilson left him stranded at third. Things were certainly interesting in this one, and Wilson allowed two runs in his last outing. However, he owns a 1.50 ERA over the last month. Wilson is 4-1 with two saves, nine holds, a 2.38 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP and 37 strikeouts in 34 innings this season.

Bolanos did not factor into the decision against the Cubs on Tuesday, pitching five innings and giving up five runs on five hits and four walks while striking out five.

Bolanos struggled in his first home start, allowing a pair of two-run homers and a run-scoring single while walking four batters. The outing was a step down from his major-league debut, when Bolanos hurled a quality start by allowing only two runs in six innings. Despite the less-than-stellar outing the 23-year-old figures to get another start in San Diego's six-man rotation, with his next appearance scheduled to come in Milwaukee on Monday.

Hernandez surrendered three runs on four hits and zero walks across five innings during Tuesday's loss to the Brewers. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.

The 24-year-old managed to garner 11 swinging strikes but still gave up hard contact Tuesday, including a two-run homer from Hernan Perez. Hernandez has a 5.24 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 76:25 K:BB through 77.1 innings and lines up to pitch Sunday at San Francisco.

Pomeranz had two strikeouts and allowed two hits and zero walks in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Tuesday in Miami.

Pomeranz recorded the fourth save of his career -- and first since 2015 -- as he managed to hold off the Marlins. Regular closer Josh Hader had the night off after a busy weekend, providing the opportunity for Pomeranz. The 30-year-old has a 3.06 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 27:8 K:BB and seven holds over 17.2 innings since joining the Brewers at the trade deadline.

Estevez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Cardinals with back spasms, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

Estevez needed only nine pitches to record the final two outs of the eighth inning and would have returned for the final frame -- and the save opportunity -- were it not for the back spasms. It's unclear if the 26-year-old is expected to be available for Wednesday's contest.

Neris didn't allow a baserunner and struck out one in the ninth inning to earn the save Tuesday against the Braves.

Neris was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning and needed only nine pitches to do the job. He now has 25 saves on the campaign, though it's only his second since Aug. 22. Still, he's pitched effectively when called upon, maintaining a 2.90 ERA and 1.02 WHIP with 81 strikeouts across 62 innings for the season.

Kimbrel (elbow) is progressing but won't be activated from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Thursday, Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com reports.

Kimbrel said last week he expected to spend the minimum 10 days on the shelf, but it looks like he'll require at least an extra day of rehab time. The 31-year-old threw off flat ground Sunday, but it's unclear if he's resumed mound work. Kimbrel could still rejoin the Cubs this weekend.

Smith (back) remains unavailable to pitch Tuesday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Smith hasn't taken the mound since allowing one run while recording his 32nd save Friday. It's unclear how long the left-hander is expected to remain sidelined as a result of the back inflammation. The Giants are currently without their top relievers with Tony Watson (wrist) likely done for the season and Reyes Moronta (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list.
