Rogers (1-4) picked up the victory after blowing a save, allowing a run on two hits and a walk while striking out two in a 6-4 extra-inning win Tuesday in Detroit.

Rogers entered the game with a 3-2 lead and gave up a game-tying two-out single to Riley Greene on a 0-2 count. It was the fifth time he's blown a save in his last 16 chances and, while he has closed out 28 ball games successfully, his recent troubles and 3.98 ERA could conceivably cause the Padres to look elsewhere for help with save chances over the final two months. Since May 28, he's posted a 7.52 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 20.1 innings.

Hill allowed three runs on five hits and four walks while striking out two in five innings of a 6-4 extra-inning loss against San Diego. He did not factor into the decision.

All the damage against Hill came with two outs in the second inning. After retiring the first two batters, the next five Padres reached safely and three came around to score. The rookie was recalled before the game, replacing Rony Garcia (biceps) in the rotation. Hill has been a strikeout machine in the minors, fanning 10.9 batters per nine innings, but has yet to miss many bats in the majors, striking out just 10 batters in 21 innings across four starts. Should he receive another start with Detroit, it would likely be over the weekend in Toronto.

Shaw pitched 2.1 innings, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out two in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox. He did not factor in the decision.

Shaw made his first career "start" Tuesday, serving as an opener for primary pitcher Kirk McCarty. The right-hander pitched two clean innings before allowing three runners to reach base and a run to score before being replaced on the mound. Another run he was responsible for would come around to score after he exited the contest. Shaw has now allowed four runs on four hit and three walks over four frames his last two appearances. Since the beginning of July, the 34-year-old has seen his ERA rise from 5.11 to 5.45.

Diaz earned the save, striking out four and allowing one hit in 1.1 innings, in a 6-3 victory Tuesday over the Yankees.

Diaz entered the game with two outs and a man on first in the eighth inning and struck out Joey Gallo. In the ninth, the Yankees threatened with two on and one out but Diaz struck out the final two batters to end the game. The 28-year-old is now 22-for-25 in save chances this year and has fanned 51.6 percent of the batters he's faced. Over his last 13.1 innings, he has not allowed a run and has a 28:1 K:BB.

Pallante tossed four innings, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out four in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays. He did not factor into the decision.

Pallante surrendered a two-run homer to Vladimir Guerrero and an RBI single to Matt Chapman in the bottom of the first frame, accounting for all the damage against him in this one. The right-hander was replaced after the fourth inning, leaving the game in a 3-3 tie. Pallante has had a difficult July, producing a 7.85 ERA over four starts during the month. The tough stretch has his season numbers up to a 3.53 ERA and 1.47 WHIP with 51 strikeouts over 74 innings in 27 appearances, including nine starts.

Lopez pitched a scoreless ninth inning, giving up one hit on his way to a save in the Orioles' 5-3 victory over the Rays on Tuesday.

Lopez was called upon to protect a 5-3 lead in the top of the ninth inning, and he registered three consecutive outs after allowing a leadoff single. The save was his 19th of the season and he has now converted six consecutive opportunities after blowing two saves in a row to open July. Overall on the season, Lopez is 19-for-23 on save chances and owns a sparkling 1.55 ERA and 0.93 WHIP with 52 strikeouts over 46.1 innings in 42 appearances. The Orioles' decision to move him to the bullpen in 2022 is paying off greatly.

Zerpa was removed from Tuesday's game against the Angels with right knee discomfort, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Zerpa started Tuesday's contest and was lifted after giving up two runs (one earned) on four hits with one strikeout and one walk over four innings. The severity of the injury remains unclear, leaving the 22-year-old's availability up in the air.

Devenski had his contract selected by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Devenski missed the first couple months of the year while finishing his rehab from Tommy John surgery, and he'll join the Diamondbacks after making six appearances with Triple-A Reno. The right-hander allowed six earned runs while posting a 9:2 K:BB over 7.1 innings with Reno.

Woods Richardson (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reports.

Woods Richardson hasn't taken the mound for Wichita since June, but he's now cleared the COVID-19 protocols and should soon retake the mound. The 21-year-old has a 3.31 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 54:20 K:BB over 54.1 innings this season.

Manager Dave Roberts said that Treinen (shoulder), who threw a bullpen session Tuesday, won't advance to facing live batter for at least a couple more weeks, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The veteran right-hander has been throwing bullpen sessions for the past couple weeks, but the Dodgers won't rush his rehab progression into the next stage. Roberts previously mentioned mid-August as the potential return window for Treinen, but that can likely now be pushed into the back half of the month at a minimum.
