Iglesias earned the save in Friday's 3-1 win versus Toronto, pitching a scoreless inning with three strikeouts while allowing two hits.

The Atlanta closer's scoreless appearances streak now stands at 21, as he worked around a two-out double by Joey Loperfido in this 15-pitch outing. During the streak, Iglesias has accumulated 31 strikeouts against just three walks across 24.1 innings while securing 10 saves. Overall, the 34-year-old has pitched to a 1.22 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 61:10 K:BB while going 31-for-34 in save opportunities across 59 innings this season.

Kinley earned the save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Brewers, issuing one walk in a scoreless ninth inning.

The Brewers got the tying run into scoring position against Kinley, after the right-hander walked Jake Bauers with one out before Brewer Hicklen swiped second base as a pinch runner. However, Kinley would escape with his 10th save of the year after Hicklen was thrown out at third trying to advance on a Rhys Hoskins flyout. The 33-year-old Kinley has now converted his last three save chances, including two in back-to-back days. His ERA sits at 6.08 on the season with a 1.47 WHIP and 67:31 K:BB across 60.2 innings. Kinley may soon return to a set-up role, however, with Victor Vodnik (biceps) nearing a return.

Anderson was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 5, with a right ankle contusion.

The right-hander was forced to leave Wednesday's game after a 103 mph comebacker off the bat of Jazz Chisholm caromed off his ankle. Anderson appears to have escaped with nothing more than a bruise, but it will still cost him at least a couple weeks and could perhaps end his season. Owen White was recalled in a corresponding move.

White was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Four days after he was sent down, White will return to the big-league roster to replace Grant Anderson (ankle) in the Rangers' bullpen. White has split his time between the rotation and bullpen at Round Rock this season, posting a 5.55 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 82:45 K:BB in 95.2 total innings. He's allowed a total of six runs in two appearances in the majors this season.

Marinaccio was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Friday's game against the Cubs.

The move opens up a spot for Clarke Schmidt (lat), who will return from the 60-day injured list to start Saturday in Chicago. Marinaccio has been more than serviceable for the Yankees this season, but he continues to bounce between levels as the team takes full advantage of the roster flexibility provided by his minor-league option.

The Dodgers optioned Petersen to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

Petersen was recalled from Triple-A on Monday, and he's allowed four runs across two outings since his promotion. Across 11 major-league appearances this season, he's posted a 6.43 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 14 innings.

Kitchen will serve as the Marlins' opening pitcher for Friday's game against the Phillies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Edward Cabrera was slated to start Friday, but he was scratched for an unspecified reason. The Marlins will turn to Kitchen to open Friday's contest, but because he hasn't pitched more than two innings in any of his three major-league appearances this season, he shouldn't be expected to provide much length in what could end up being a bullpen game for Miami. Kitchen will be pitching on two days' rest after tossing 1.1 scoreless innings in a relief appearance Tuesday against the Nationals.

Ortiz will not start Friday against the Nationals as the game has been postponed due to inclement weather.

Friday's contest will be made up Saturday as part of a doubleheader, and Ortiz will start in the matinee, per Alex Stumpf of MLB.com. The right-hander has appeared in 33 games games this season, including 11 starts, and has a 3.19 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 113 innings.

The Giants recalled Warren from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

The move corresponds with Kyle Harrison being placed on the 15-day injured list due to left shoulder inflammation. Warren made his lone major-league appearance Aug. 28 against the Brewers, during which he pitched two scoreless innings while allowing one walk and one hit. Across 23 outings in Triple-A this season, Warren has a 4.91 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 22 innings. Warren will be available out of the Giants' bullpen for Friday's game against the Padres, per Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic.

Weaver worked around a walk in a scoreless ninth inning against the Cubs on Friday en route to his first career save. He struck out two batters.

Isaac Paredes made Weaver work for the final out, but Weaver ultimately shut the door on his 25th pitch to earn the first save of his nine-year MLB career. Manager Aaron Boone said earlier in the week that the club would get "creative" with the closer role in light of Clay Holmes' struggles in the ninth inning, and while Weaver has not been part of the saves mix until now, he leads the team in holds and would appear to have the leg up for save chances down the stretch.
