Iglesias (4-5) struck out one batter in a scoreless inning and earned a win against the Mets on Tuesday.

Iglesias delivered a perfect 10th inning and earned a win after Atlanta walked it off in the bottom of the frame. He's turned in three scoreless innings since his last blown save June 5. He still owns a 6.00 ERA through 27 frames this season. Pierce Johnson and Dylan Lee each threw scoreless innings in Tuesday's win.

Pagan picked up the save in Tuesday's 6-5 win against Minnesota, allowing two walks while striking out two batters during the ninth inning.

Pagan converted on a ninth consecutive save opportunity and extended his scoreless appearance streak to six outings. He hasn't allowed a hit during that stretch, but he has now surrendered four walks over three innings in his last three appearances. He's tied for the sixth in saves this season, now sitting at 17-for-19 in save chances this year.

Manager Torey Lovullo said Puk (elbow) will visit Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles on Thursday after experiencing some left elbow discomfort, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

The 30-year-old had his throwing program paused last week due to the discomfort, and the fact he's visiting a well-known surgeon could be cause for concern. The Diamondbacks will already be without closer Justin Martinez for the rest of the season due to Tommy John surgery, and Puk is now being evaluated for further elbow issues after landing on the shelf with inflammation in mid-April.

Gose agreed to a contract with the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.

The specifics of the deal aren't clear, but Gose quickly linked up with the Diamondbacks after being released from his minor-league contract with the Mets on Monday. The left-hander posted a 4.30 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 25:14 K:BB across 23 innings at the Triple-A level with New York.

The Reds recalled Mey from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Mey showed the good and the bad during his first big-league stint in May, yielding one run with a 12:3 K:BB over his first 8.1 innings before stumbling in his next 4.2 frames as he allowed five runs with a 2:4 K:BB. The hard-throwing reliever will aim for more consistency this time around.

The Mets recalled Garza from Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday.

The 31-year-old was demoted to Syracuse on Sunday but will quickly rejoin the Mets with Tylor Megill (elbow) landing on the injured list. Garza delivered 3.2 scoreless frames during his prior week-long stint with the big-league club.

The Reds placed Ashcraft on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right groin strain.

Ashcraft has struggled lately, permitting 10 runs over his last 11.1 relief innings. He'll be eligible for activation July 1, but it's unclear whether he'll be ready to go on that date. Luis Mey is taking Ashcraft's spot on the roster and in the bullpen.

Nardi (back) was cleared to play catch Monday, MLB.com reports.

Nardi has been slow to recover from low back inflammation, an injury that dates back to spring training and which has kept him on the shelf all season. Though the right-handed reliever won't need to be built up to pitch more than an inning or two, he's still likely weeks away from reaching a point in his throwing program where he's ready to head out on a rehab assignment. He appears to be tracking toward a return from the 60-day injured list at some point in July, though he may not be back until after the All-Star break.

Dreyer will serve as the Dodgers' opening pitcher in Tuesday's game versus the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Dreyer will draw his fourth opener assignment this season, after he previously allowed a total of four runs over 5.1 innings across his first three times opening a game. The southpaw hasn't been used out of the bullpen since last Wednesday and should be capable of giving the Dodgers anywhere between one and three innings before he exits the contest. Right-hander Matt Sauer is a good bet to serve as a bulk reliever for the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Yates picked up a save against the Padres on Monday by tossing a perfect ninth inning.

Manager Dave Roberts went to usual closer Tanner Scott to face the heart of San Diego's order in the eighth inning, then turned to Yates to close things out in the ninth. The right-handed Yates had little trouble doing so, throwing nine of 10 pitches for strikes and retiring Jake Cronenworth, Jose Iglesias and Tyler Wade in order. Roberts has shown a willingness to turn to Scott before the ninth frame when situations call for it, but that doesn't necessarily mean Yates will dominate save chances in those circumstances. In fact, the veteran reliever is one of four hurlers with multiple saves on the campaign for Los Angeles, and Alex Vesia tops him with three saves.
