Williams blew the save in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning win against Atlanta. He allowed two runs on three hits and a walk with no strikeouts over two-thirds of an inning.

Williams entered with a two-run cushion in the ninth inning but was unable to secure the victory, surrendering a game-tying two-run homer to Matt Olson before eventually being lifted for Brooks Raley, who recorded the final out of the frame to send the game to an extra inning. While Williams has been shaky with a 4.85 ERA and 1.65 WHIP across 29.2 innings this season, Monday marked just his second blown save in 15 opportunities. Having pitched in back-to-back games, the right-hander will likely be unavailable for Tuesday's series opener against Kansas City.

Iglesias blew the save in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Mets. He allowed three runs on three hits and no walks while striking out one over one inning.

Iglesias entered with a one-run cushion in the ninth inning but was unable to secure the victory, surrendering a three-run homer to Juan Soto. Atlanta tied the game in the bottom half of the inning, but New York ultimately prevailed in 10 frames. Monday marked Iglesias' first blown save of the season after he entered the contest a perfect 17-for-17 in save opportunities. The right-hander now owns a 2.37 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB across 30.1 innings in 2026.

Lopez did not factor into the decision Monday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over five innings in a 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Mets. He struck out five.

With the exception of a Carson Benge solo homer in the second inning, Lopez was effective before departing after 80 pitches (52 strikes). In three starts since being moved back into the starting rotation, the right-hander has allowed three runs with a 12:3 K:BB across 13 innings. Overall, Lopez owns a 4-1 record with a 3.18 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 51:24 K:BB across 56.2 innings (21 appearances) and is lined up to make his next start Saturday against the Cardinals.

Beeter picked up the save in Monday's 12-11 win over the Astros. He allowed no hits or walks while striking out one over 1.1 innings.

Entering with a one-run lead and two outs in the eighth inning, Beeter retired all four batters he faced to close out the high-scoring affair. It marked the right-hander's seventh save in 11 opportunities and his first since June 22 against the Phillies. With a 3.00 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 30:18 K:BB across 27 innings, Beeter seems to be the top ninth-inning option in an incredibly weak Nationals bullpen.

Mikolas (3-7) earned the win Monday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings against the Astros. He struck out three.

Mikolas was roughed up early, allowing six runs across the first three innings, but managed to churn out six frames and was credited with the win thanks to an offensive explosion from the Nationals. It has been a difficult season for the veteran, who has occasionally been able to provide length but has too often been hit hard by opposing offenses. The right-hander owns a 5.78 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 50:19 K:BB across 90.1 innings (19 appearances). Mikolas is awaiting a decision on his appeal of a five-game suspension stemming from Tuesday's benches-clearing incident, which may factor into whether he makes another start before the All-Star break.

Henry was optioned to Triple-A Rochester after allowed four runs on three hits and one walk while striking out two over 1.2 innings Monday against the Astros.

Henry will head to the minors after tossing 44 pitches in Monday's victory. He's now surrendered three or more runs in two of his last three appearances in the big leagues. The Nationals will presumably bring up a fresh arm ahead of Tuesday's clash.

The Giants outrighted Santos to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

The transaction will free up on a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Eric Cerantola, whom the Giants claimed off waivers from the Royals. Santos owns a 6.89 ERA and 1.84 WHIP with an 11:11 K:BB across 15.2 innings at the Triple-A level this season.

Bruihl left Monday's game against Milwaukee with a left ankle sprain, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports. He allowed one run on one hit and one walk over 1.1 innings.

Bruihl appeared to tweak his ankle while fielding an infield dribbler, and he exited the game immediately after the play. He'll presumably be sent for additional testing to determine whether a trip to the injured list is warranted.

The Dodgers selected Duran to the 40-man roster Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Duran will remain at Triple-A Oklahoma City after being added to the 40-man roster. His lone MLB action dates back to the 2025 campaign while with the Athletics, when he surrendered three runs on one hit and three walks over one-third of an inning. He's submitted a 3.86 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 50:25 K:BB in 35 innings at Oklahoma City in 2026.

Gervase was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

Gervase has been booted from the MLB roster to make room for the return of Evan Phillips from the 60-day injured list. Gervase will serve as bullpen depth at Triple-A, where he's posted a 3.60 ERA and 1.44 WHIP with 35 strikeouts across 25.0 innings so far this season.
