Matt Gage RP | SF
Giants' Matt Gage: Picks up loss Monday
Gage (0-1) took the loss in Monday's 8-1 defeat to the Diamondbacks, allowing one earned run on one hit and one walk across one relief inning.
Gage entered the game in the fifth inning and retired three of the four batters he faced, walking one. However, he gave up a double to begin the sixth and was subsequently removed. The right-hander has allowed five runs in his last three appearances, giving up six hits and two walks while hitting one batter in 2.2 innings during that span. He has recorded a 3.97 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 21:9 K:BB across 22.2 innings in 23 appearances with San Francisco this season.

Joel Peguero P | SF
Giants' Joel Peguero: Allows two runs Monday
Peguero allowed two earned runs on one hit and two walks across one-third of an inning in Monday's 8-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Peguero entered the game in the sixth inning with a runner on second. The right-hander then walked back-to-back batters before allowing a single and being replaced. Over 11 appearances this season, the 28-year-old owns a 1.84 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB across 14.2 innings.

Porter Hodge SP | CHC
Cubs' Porter Hodge: Can't finish out game
Hodge allowed a hit and two walks while retiring two batters in the ninth inning of Monday's win over the Pirates before getting lifted for Brad Keller, who recorded the final out of the game.
Hodge got the ninth inning staked to a 4-0 lead, so it wasn't a save opportunity, but he quickly made trouble for himself by loading the bases. The Cubs then turned to Keller for the final out, and he managed to earn his second save of the season by cleaning up Hodge's mess. Hodge continues to struggle with a 5.81 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 31 innings this year, and Monday's poor effort won't help the righty earn any more high-leverage work in Chicago's bullpen.

Alexis Diaz RP | ATL
Braves' Alexis Diaz: Sent down to Gwinnett
Atlanta optioned Diaz to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
Diaz has made three relief appearances after being claimed off waivers by Atlanta on Sept. 7, yielding four runs (three earned) with a 5:5 K:BB. The former Reds closer holds an 8.18 ERA over 18 relief outings in the big leagues this season.

Carson Seymour SP | SF
Giants' Carson Seymour: Shifts to bullpen
Seymour struck out a batter and allowed one earned run on three hits over one inning of relief in Sunday's 10-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Seymour had started in each of his previous three appearances, but after he turned in an 8.68 ERA and 1.71 WHIP across 9.1 innings in those outings, he was moved to the bullpen. The Giants called on Seymour to mop up in the ninth inning of Sunday's blowout loss, and most of the 26-year-old righty's appearances for the remainder of the season are likely to come in lower-leverage spots.

Connor Seabold RP | ATL
Braves' Connor Seabold: Dispatched to Triple-A
Atlanta optioned Seabold to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
The transaction comes one day after Seabold gave up two runs without recording an out in a relief appearance in Atlanta's 11-3 win over Washington. Seabold has permitted five runs with a 10:6 K:BB over 10.1 frames at the big-league level in 2025.

Nathan Wiles RP | ATL
Braves' Nathan Wiles: Summoned from minors
Atlanta recalled Wiles from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
Wiles will provide manager Brian Snitker with a fresh bullpen arm for Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals. The 27-year-old's lone appearance with Atlanta earlier this season came in relief, but he'll be capable of covering multiple innings after making 19 starts for Gwinnett this season.
-
Jose Suarez SP | ATL
Braves' Jose Suarez: Added to roster for spot start
Atlanta selected Suarez's contract from Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
Suarez will make a spot start Tuesday in the first game of a doubleheader against the Nationals. The left-hander has pitched well lately at Gwinnett, posting a 2.70 ERA and 23:6 K:BB over 20 innings covering his last four starts. Suarez could be sent back down to Gwinnett after Tuesday's start.

Tristan Beck RP | SF
Giants' Tristan Beck: Making first start of season
The Giants will have Beck start Tuesday's game in Arizona, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Beck's first 26 appearances of the season with the Giants have come as a reliever, but he'll draw the start Tuesday while the team looks to fill the hole in the rotation that was created after the struggling Carson Seymour was moved to the bullpen over the weekend. The Giants are likely to treat Tuesday's contest as a bullpen day and are expected to lean on multiple pitchers to get through the game, but Beck should be capable of providing more length than the typical opener. Beck -- who is taking the hill on two days' rest -- has covered between two and four innings in five of his last six relief appearances and will likely hover somewhere in that range Tuesday. With Carson Whisenhunt (back) set to make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday before potentially returning from the 15-day injured list over the weekend, Beck could be in line for just one start before moving back to the bullpen.

David Robertson RP | PHI
Phillies' David Robertson: Snags first save Monday
Robertson walked two in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Monday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Dodgers.
Robertson has handled a setup role since making his season debut Aug. 11. The 40-year-old has done fine with a 3.07 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 20:7 K:BB, as well as eight holds, over 14.2 innings. He was called on in the 10th inning Monday, as Jhoan Duran had blown a save chance in the ninth after the Phillies had already used Orion Kerkering and Matt Strahm in previous innings. With a deep bullpen in Philadelphia, Robertson is unlikely to see many more save chances this year.
