Kinley struck out one in a perfect 10th inning Sunday to record his first save of the season in a win over the Yankees.

Didier Fuentes worked the eighth inning and allowed the tying run while closer Raisel Iglesias handled the ninth, leaving manager Walt Weiss to turn to Kinley after Atlanta plated a run in the top of the 10th. The right-hander got the job done, fanning former Rockies teammate Ryan McMahon to end the game. It was Kinley's 22nd career save, but his first in an Atlanta uniform since being acquired at the 2025 trade deadline. Through 41 innings over 47 appearances this season, he's produced a 3.95 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 40:18 K:BB while picking up six wins and 12 holds.

O'Brien recorded his 29th save Sunday against the Rockies, tossing a perfect ninth inning.

O'Brien was called upon to protect a three-run lead in the ninth inning and made quick work of Colorado, retiring the side in order on just eight pitches. The right-hander has now delivered seven consecutive scoreless appearances while allowing only one hit during that stretch. Across 48 appearances this season, O'Brien owns a 3-4 record and 29 saves with a 3.21 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 48:29 K:BB over 47.2 innings.

Tidwell is slated to start Monday's game against the Astros in San Francisco.

After dealing away Tyler Mahle and Robbie Ray last week, the Giants had two openings in the rotation, and Tidwell was summoned from Triple-A Sacramento to fill one of those spots. The 25-year-old right-hander acquitted himself well in his first start as a member of the Giants last Tuesday, taking a no-decision on the road against the Rangers while allowing two earned runs on six hits and one walk across five innings. Tidwell will be awarded a second turn through the rotation and will tentatively line up for two starts during the upcoming week, with a home start against the Rockies likely on tap next Sunday.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday that Jameson (hip) is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno during the upcoming week, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.

Per Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com, Jameson threw 32 pitches over two innings in an unofficial game at extended spring training Saturday. Assuming Jameson bounces back well from that outing, he'll report to Reno in the coming days and will likely make at least a couple appearances before returning from the injured list. Jameson posted a 4.67 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 17.1 innings out of the Arizona bullpen before landing on the IL on July 21 due to right hip inflammation.

Iglesias (1-2) earned the win in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Yankees, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Iglesias shut down the heart of the Yankees' order in the bottom of the ninth inning before Atlanta took the win in the 10th. It was a clutch effort after the veteran closer allowed two earned runs in back-to-back outings, including a blown save Friday. On the season, he's 24-for-27 in save chances with a 2.95 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 48:12 K:BB across 42.2 innings.

Ginkel struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers.

Ginkel has allowed five runs (four earned) over 5.2 innings since Arizona's closer committee emerged. He has a save, a blown save, a hold and a win in that span. There's still no favorite for saves currently -- Brandyn Garcia has picked up two of them to Ginkel's one, while Jonathan Loaisiga and Juan Morillo have served more in setup roles since Paul Sewald was removed from the closer role. For the year, Ginkel has a 3.60 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 47:15 K:BB through 50 innings while adding 11 holds.

Manaea (4-5) earned the win Sunday over the Pirates, allowing a run on three hits and no walks over seven innings. He struck out 11.

A Jake Mangum homer in the third inning accounted for the only run Manaea allowed Sunday, as the left-hander turned in his best start of the year, setting a season high with 11 strikeouts. Manaea has turned in four straight quality starts, allowing just six runs over 25 innings in that span. He's lowered his ERA to 4.13 on the season with a 1.32 WHIP and 106:35 K:BB across 104.2 innings. Manaea is tentatively slated to face the Nationals at home his next time out.

Klein underwent an MRI that revealed bone chips in his elbow, and the Dodgers are now deciding the next steps for his recovery, with surgery being an option, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The right-hander landed on the injured list Aug. 1 after surrendering 13 runs (eight earned) over his six previous outings, and his availability for the rest of the season could hang in the balance. If Klein needs to undergo surgery, he'll probably miss the rest of the campaign, so the Dodgers will likely be exploring all recovery options over the next few days.

Phillies interim manager Don Mattingly said that Kilian suffered a right side injury during his relief appearance in Sunday's 7-6 victory over the Blue Jays in 12 innings, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports. Kilian allowed an unearned run on one hit over an inning of relief en route to earning his fourth win of the season.

Kilian entered the contest with the game tied 5-5 heading into the top of the 12th inning. The automatic runner came around to score when Blue Jays center fielder Brett Bateman led off the frame with an RBI single, but Kilian was then able to induce a double play off the bat of Jesus Sanchez before getting Alejandro Kirk to pop out to end the inning. The Phillies would go on to score two runs in the bottom of the 12th to reward Kilian with a win, but the side injury he suffered on his final pitch of the contest could put the right-hander at risk of landing on the injured list. Mattingly said that Kilian's injury "didn't look good," but the Phillies won't known the full extent of the issue until he undergoes further imaging Monday, per MLB.com.

Miller (elbow) began a rehab assignment Sunday at Triple-A Iowa, striking out two batters while allowing one run on two hits and no walks.

Miller has made remarkable progress in his recovery from Oct. 13 surgery to repair a torn right UCL tendon and flexor tendon. Though a complex procedure of that nature would normally keep a pitcher out for a full season, Miller appears to have a strong chance at returning from the 60-day injured list by late August or early September after moving through his throwing progression without any setbacks and advancing to the final stage of his recovery process. Miller will stockpile appearances and will likely need to pitch on consecutive days at Iowa at some point over the next few weeks before the Cubs consider adding him to the big-league bullpen.
