Yates picked up the save against the Dodgers on Monday, striking out three without allowing a baserunner in a scoreless ninth inning to close out San Diego's 4-3 victory.

Yates had uncharacteristically given up a run in two out of his last three appearances, but he got back to his lights-out ways in this contest, striking out the side on 15 pitches and picking up his 38th save in 41 chances. The 32-year-old continues to post dominant numbers in 2019, as he's now sporting a 1.33 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 88:11 K:BB across 54 innings.

Gott walked off the mound with the team trainer during Monday night's game against the Diamondbacks, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Gott's velocity appeared down during his outing, and after receiving a visit from the trainer, he was removed from the contest. The details surrounding his injury have yet to be revealed.

Neris allowed one run on two hits over one inning Monday, striking out one batter and blowing the save in the win over Pittsburgh.

Neris coughed up a game-tying solo blast to Josh Bell in the ninth inning, but fortunately for him, Philadelphia would end up winning in extras. The 30-year-old is now 23-for-28 in save opportunities but this was his first blown chance since July 16. He now owns a 3.29 ERA alongside a 73:17 K:BB.

Floro (chest) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session Monday and will toss one inning for High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Thursday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Floro landed on the 10-day injured list with a left intercostal strain Aug. 21. News of the bullpen session and upcoming rehab outing suggests that he should be ready to rejoin the Dodgers when eligible Saturday, though the transaction may be put on hold until rosters expand the following day. Floro has compiled a 3.89 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 37 innings with the Dodgers this season.

Garcia could be recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque to start Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, Nick Groke of The Athletic reports.

Garcia was scratched from his scheduled start for the Isotopes on Monday, making it appear as though he'll be promoted to the big-league club in time for Tuesday's clash. He'd take the place of German Marquez, who was sent to the 10-day injured list Monday due to arm inflammation.

Hader threw a scoreless ninth inning in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

The Brewers trailed 5-2 when Hader entered Sunday's game, but because he had not taken the mound in eight days, manager Craig Counsell decided to give him some work despite the score. It's been a rough month for Hader, who has blown four saves in August and had allowed at least one earned run in five straight outings prior to Sunday's, but he should be plenty rested now, at least. Hader threw just 14 pitches Sunday, so he will presumably be available Monday if the Brewers find themselves in a save situation.

Quijada was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The 23-year-old has thrown 24.1 innings for the Marlins this season, posting a 5.55 ERA and a worrying 8.23 FIP. His strong 29.9 percent strikeout rate hasn't been able to overcome a far too high 19.7 percent walk rate. Pablo Lopez returned from his shoulder injury in a corresponding move.

Harvey was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday.

Harvey and Phillip Diehl were recalled Monday with German Marquez (arm) and Raimel Tapia (hand) landing on the injured list. Harvey is set for his Rockies debut after coming over in a deadline-day trade from the Yankees, where he posted a 4.50 ERA in 10 innings of work earlier in this season.

Helsley (1-0) was credited with the victory in a win over the Rockies on Sunday, striking out four while allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk over 2.1 innings.

Helsley delivered a solid performance after relieving starter Michael Wacha with two outs in the fifth inning, allowing his only run on an error by outfielder Harrison Bader. The right-hander has given up one run in three straight appearances, but he's consistently worked multiple innings effectively and retains an impressive 2.35 ERA and 1.04 WHIP across 23 frames while averaging a strikeout per inning.

Smith allowed one hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save over Oakland on Sunday.

It was Smith's first save since Aug. 13 and his first chance since Aug. 16. He failed to record a strikeout but worked past a two-out double by Josh Phegley. Smith is now 30-for-34 in save opportunities with a 2.70 ERA.
