Thompson allowed one hit and struck out two over a scoreless seventh inning in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Mets.

Thompson picked up his fourth hold, serving as the first of three relievers to preserve the lead after starter Zac Gallen went six strong innings. In the wake of injuries to Arizona's co-closers A.J. Puk (elbow) and Justin Martinez (shoulder), Thompson will be part of the setup crew and could possibly get save chances. On Thursday, Thompson was followed by Kevin Ginkel in the eighth and Shelby Miller for the save in the ninth.

Reynolds (foot) has appeared in three games with Triple-A El Paso, throwing 3.1 scoreless and hitless innings while compiling a 2:3 K:BB.

Reynolds began the season on the IL due to a stress reaction in his right foot. He started a minor-league rehab stint April 22 and has gotten into three contests since. The right-hander didn't appear in any spring games due to the foot injury, so he may need a few more outings with El Paso before he's potentially activated. San Diego's bullpen has been dominant this season, but Reynolds could find a place in the big club's bullpen after excelling during a small sample size with the Padres last season, as he posted a 0.82 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB over 11 innings across nine appearances.

Agnos picked up the save in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Giants after throwing a clean ninth inning. He didn't record a strikeout.

Agnos is now up to 7.1 scoreless innings so far to begin his major-league career. That said, the rookie right-hander has logged just one punchout in his first six appearances, so he hasn't necessarily overwhelmed the opposition. The Rockies don't figure to offer many save opportunities, but Agnos has earned saves in back-to-back games and appears to have worked his way into the ninth-inning mix alongside Seth Halvorsen and Tyler Kinley in Colorado's bullpen.

Arias was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.

Arias was recalled by Miami on Sunday and made two appearances since, allowing three earned runs across as many innings. He's already made six appearances out of the bullpen for the Marlins this season and has a 10.61 ERA and 9:5 K:BB over 9.1 innings.

Finnegan earned the save in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Phillies, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning without recording a walk or strikeout.

The Nationals called Finnegan from the bullpen for the ninth inning to preserve a two-run lead. He retired the first two batters in six pitches and was able to work around a Johan Rojas two-out triple by getting Rafael Marchan to line out to center field. It was a nice outcome for Finnegan, who blew his last two saves after starting the season by converting on his first nine opportunities. His 10 saves are tied with Mason Miller for third most in the majors behind Robert Suarez (12) and Andres Munoz (11).

Patino (elbow) will make a rehab start with Single-A Lake Elsinore on Sunday.

Patino last pitched meaningful innings in the 2023 Dominican Winter League before undergoing Tommy John surgery early in the 2024 campaign. While he's made significant progress, he'll still need an extended rehab assignment before being activated from the injured list.

The Nationals are in agreement with Chafin on a major-league contract Thursday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Chafin had been looking for a new home since the start of the season after being assigned to Triple-A Toledo by Detroit. The lefty had a poor spring training in which he allowed eight earned runs across six innings, which hindered his chances of making the roster. He will get an opportunity with the bullpen in Washington in hopes of building off of his 2024 season's 3.51 ERA. In a corresponding move, Colin Poche was designated for assignment.

Miller earned the save Thursday, delivering a perfect ninth inning with no strikeouts in a 4-2 win over the Mets.

With Justin Martinez (shoulder) joining A.J. Puk (elbow) on the injured list ahead of Thursday's game, Miller was called upon for the save chance and made quick work of the Mets, needing just eight pitches to close out the win. Miller has yet to allow an earned run in 13.2 innings this year while posting a stellar 0.59 WHIP with 15:4 K:BB. While Miller could be a solid source for saves in the absence of Martinez and Puk, it's worth noting that Kevin Ginkel was used in the eighth inning against the top of New York's order and is also likely to be in the closer mix.

The Dodgers transferred Treinen (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Treinen went down with a right forearm sprain in mid-April and has yet to resume a throwing program. He now isn't eligible to return until mid-June, and there won't be a timetable for Treinen until he starts ramping up his throwing.

The Dodgers claimed Feyereisen off waivers from the Diamondbacks on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

It's a homecoming of sorts for Feyereisen, who posted an 8.18 ERA and 9:5 K:BB over 11 innings with the Dodgers last season. The righty allowed three runs (two earned) over two frames with the Diamondbacks earlier this season before they placed him on waivers. Feyereisen will go to Triple-A Oklahoma City for now.
