Hudson allowed two hits and two walks while striking out four across six scoreless innings Saturday against the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.

Hudson entered Saturday's start having allowed 14 earned runs across his last 13.1 innings. However, he rebounded Saturday and followed an unfamiliar formula by recording 10 of his outs via the flyball. He also tallied at least four strikeouts in a start for the first time since June 7. Overall, Hudson has maintained a 4.00 ERA and a 50:41 K:BB across 90 innings on the season.

Scott (4-3) took the loss and blew the save against the Mets on Saturday, allowing two unearned runs on one hit while striking out two batters over two-thirds of an inning.

The game went into extra innings, and Miami took a one-run lead in the top of the 10th. Scott then entered to try to keep New York off the scoreboard in the bottom of the frame, and he struck out the first two batters he faced. However, Thomas Nido subsequently tied the score with a double, and Scott committed a throwing error on the following play to give the Mets a walkoff win. The blown save was the third of the season for Scott -- all of which have come since June 15. Since the start of June, the southpaw has posted a 2.76 ERA and 25:9 K:BB over 16.1 innings, so he should still have some trust built up with manager Don Mattingly despite allowing at least one run in three of his last four outings.

Loaisiga (shoulder) threw a scoreless inning with one strikeout with Single-A Tampa on Saturday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Loaisiga threw 13 pitches without allowing a baserunner. His next rehab appearance will come at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday. If things go well in that outing, it's possible he'll return prior to the All-Star break.

Graterol (side) is available for Saturday's game against the Cubs, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Graterol exited Thursday's game due to cramps in his side, though he was only unavailable for one game. He should return to a setup role for the Dodgers.

Brash was recalled by the Mariners on Saturday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Brash made the Mariners' Opening Day rotation and flashed impressive stuff at times, but he would up being demoted after struggling to a 7.65 ERA and 17.9 percent walk rate in five starts. He's pitched exclusively out of the bullpen in 26 innings for Triple-A Tacoma, where his 38.3 percent strikeout rate has been enough to offset a 13.1 percent walk rate, leading to a 3.46 ERA. He should continue to pitch in relief for the big-league club.

Giles was placed on the 15-day injured list due to tightness behind his right shoulder, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Giles suffered the injury during Friday's win over the Blue Jays and was quickly placed on the injured list. He's managed just eight innings since the 2019 season due to a combination of Tommy John surgery, a finger sprain and now his most recent issue. There's no timetable for Giles' return, though he'll be sidelined until at least late July.

Swanson was placed on the paternity list Saturday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Swanson will be away from the team for a few days to be with his infant daughter. He'll likely return Tuesday against the Nationals. Matt Brash and Matt Festa were recalled Saturday to replace Swanson and Ken Giles, who landed on the injured list with shoulder tightness.

Nelson will serve as the opener during Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Nelson has pitched exclusively out of the bullpen to begin the season, but he'll make his first start of the year as Sunday's opener. He's lasted multiple innings in four of his last five appearances and has posted a 0.90 ERA and 0.70 WHIP in 10 innings during that time. Cristopher Sanchez will serve as the primary pitcher against St. Louis.

Littell landed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left oblique strain, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Littell was recalled Thursday and walked four batters in 1.1 innings of relief against the Padres the next day. Those command issues now look like they were injury-related. It's not yet clear how much time he's expected to miss.

Marte was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.

Marte was sent down by the Giants on Monday and tossed a scoreless relief inning during his lone appearance in Sacramento following his demotion. However, he'll rejoin San Francisco's bullpen as part of a move after Zack Littell (oblique) was placed on the injured list and Jake McGee was designated for assignment.
