Megill struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to record his 18th save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Pirates.

The 31-year-old righty came through with his sixth straight successful conversion, and on the year he's blown only two of his 20 save chances. Megill hasn't been quite as dominant as his predecessors in the Milwaukee closer role, Josh Hader and Devin Williams, but that's a high bar to clear, and he's been more than adequate in his first full season with the job. Through 27.2 innings, Megill's posted a 2.60 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 33:14 K:BB.

Morejon earned the save in Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Nationals, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

With Robert Suarez serving a suspension, the Padres turned to Morejon in the ninth inning Wednesday to close out a one-run victory. The left-hander made quick work of the Nats, retiring the side on just seven pitches, to earn his second save this season. Morejon has been dominant of late, allowing just one unearned run in his last 15.2 innings -- he's given up three hits while striking out 17 in that span. His ERA is down to 2.04 with a 0.82 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB across 35.1 innings this season. However, with Suarez eligible to return Saturday, Morejon figures to remain in a setup role moving forward.

The Cardinals recalled Svanson from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

Svanson has been shuttled back and forth between Memphis and St. Louis multiple times this season, collecting a 3.95 ERA and 12:7 K:BB over 13.2 frames during his time with the big club. He will provide manager Oliver Marmol with a fresh bullpen arm in Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

The Mets selected Pintaro's contract from Double-A Binghamton on Wednesday.

A 27-year-old righty who went undrafted out of Division II Shorter University in 2022, Pintaro made a rapid ascent to the big leagues after he had been pitching in independent ball in Montana a year ago before signing a minor-league deal with the Mets last June. He's thrived while pitching out of the rotation with Binghamton in 2025, turning in a 3.40 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 57:15 K:BB across 42.1 innings. Pintaro will work in long relief for the Mets initially, though he could garner consideration for a starting role with the big club at some point if a rotation spot opens up.

The Mets designated Lovelady for assignment Wednesday.

Lovelady was just signed Monday and made one appearance for the Mets, allowing two runs over 1.2 innings. If he clears waivers, Lovelady will have the ability to elect free agency.

The Mets recalled Waddell from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

Waddell has made four relief appearances for the Mets this season, allowing four runs with a 7:2 K:BB over 10.2 innings. He'll look to provide more stability to the Mets' left-handed relief corps.

The Padres recalled Reynolds from Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday.

San Diego placed starter Ryan Bergert (forearm) on the 15-day injured list to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster for Reynolds. Bergert tossed just three innings before leaving Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Nationals after being struck on the forearm by a comebacker, so Reynolds will offer the Padres a fresh relief arm for Wednesday's series finale after San Diego needed four relievers to cover the final six frames of Tuesday's contest. Reynolds has delivered a 4.15 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB in 21.2 innings at the big-league level this season.

Suarez's suspension for hitting Shohei Ohtani with a pitch in last Thursday's 5-3 win over the Dodgers has been reduced to two games, and he will begin serving the suspension Wednesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Suarez will be eligible to pitch again Saturday in Cincinnati. If a save opportunity arises for the Padres over the next two games, they could turn to Jason Adam, Jeremiah Estrada or Adrian Morejon.

Wrobleski (3-2) picked up the win Tuesday against the Rockies, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out seven.

Wrobleski followed opener Jack Dreyer, who completed the first inning, and Wrobleski delivered five solid frames. His seven strikeouts marked a season high, and he's added a tally in the win column in back-to-back appearances. In six outings this season, the 24-year-old has a 4.91 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 29.1 innings. Wrobleski has operated as a bulk reliever in three straight appearances, and if he remains on schedule, he'd likely pitch Sunday against Kansas City.

Scott picked up the save Tuesday against Colorado, allowing two hits over 1.1 scoreless innings. He did not record a walk or a strikeout.

Scott was forced into the game before the ninth inning after the Dodgers' advantage was trimmed to three with runners on first and second with two outs in the eighth. Scott allowed a two-RBI double to the first batter he faced, but he managed to hang on to grab his 16th save. He's converted each of his last six save chances and has allowed one earned run in his last 10 appearances (10.1 innings).
