White was recalled by the Dodgers on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

White has bounced between Triple-A Oklahoma and the big-league club this season. He's served primarily as a multi-inning reliever with the Dodgers, posting a 3.93 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 18.1 frames. He's had more success in the minors, and he threw 11 innings while allowing only one earned run since being sent down on July 8. Jimmie Sherfy (elbow) was placed on the injured list, paving the way for White's return.

Barria will start Sunday's game against the Twins, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Barria accompanied the Angels on their weekend road trip to Target Field, so it's not entirely surprising to see him named the starter for Sunday's series finale. However, manager Joe Maddon said Saturday that the team hasn't yet decided whether the team will use an opener ahead of the right-hander Sunday.

Gallegos (5-3) was charged with the loss in Friday's defeat at the hands of the Reds, allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk over one inning.

Tasked with preserving a 5-5 tie when he entered in the eighth inning, Gallegos hurt his own cause immediately by allowing a leadoff single and committing a throwing error before ultimately surrendering what would prove to be a game-winning sacrifice fly. Despite getting dinged with the loss, Gallegos still owns an impressive 2.65 ERA and 0.69 WHIP across 43 appearances, although he's now allowed seven runs (six earned) over his last nine innings.

Weathers (ankle) was activated from the injured list as expected Saturday ahead of his scheduled start against the Marlins.

Weathers has been out for just shy of two weeks with an ankle issue. Prior to the injury, he'd cruised to a 2.91 ERA in 58.2 innings, though that wasn't close to supported by his 4.53 FIP, as he struck out a modest 17.9 percent of opposing batters. Miguel Diaz was optioned in a corresponding move.

Kittredge fired two scoreless innings during which he allowed a hit and a walk in a win over Cleveland on Friday.

The first-time All-Star has mostly picked up right where he left off prior to the Midsummer Classic, as Kittredge has now fired four innings of one-run ball over his first three second-half appearances. The right-hander hasn't qualified for any decisions during that brief span, but with six victories and four holds on the season, he's proven an asset to fantasy managers.

Howard will remain in the rotation to start Monday against the Nationals, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

Howard has spent time in the rotation, bullpen and minors this season but is needed as a starter for now with Zach Eflin (knee) on the injured list. Eflin's injury isn't considered a long-term concern, but another strong showing from Howard could in theory give him the chance to stick around in favor of Vince Velasquez (5.00 ERA) or Matt Moore (5.79 ERA). The Phillies may not consider the young righty to be stretched out enough to stick as a starter, however, as he's only reached five innings once at any level this season and threw just three innings in his most recent start Wednesday against the Yankees.

Pomeranz earned a hold in Friday's contest against Miami, pitching a scoreless inning during which he gave up on one walk and struck out one batter.

Pomeranz came on to protect a three-run lead in the eighth inning. Though he walked the first batter he faced, the lefty reliever subsequently induced a double play before striking out Adam Duvall to end the frame. Since returning from the injured list last weekend, Pomeranz has given up one earned run and notched a 3:1 K:BB while collecting two holds over three one-inning outings.

Graterol earned a hold Friday against Colorado despite allowing two runs on two hits over two-thirds of an inning.

After being brought up from Triple-A Oklahoma City earlier in the day, Graterol was asked to protect a two-run eighth-inning lead. He allowed a single and a double for one run, then watched from the dugout as Darien Nunez took over on the mound and allowed the game-tying single. The appearance was Graterol's first for the Dodgers since July 3, and he has struggled to build upon his promising 2020 campaign, registering a 9.64 ERA across six big-league appearances and a 6.62 ERA across 18 minor-league outings this season.

Sewald (6-2) tossed 1.1 scoreless innings en route to his sixth win of the year Friday against the Athletics. He did not allow a hit but walked a batter and struck out three.

Sewald came in to finish off the seventh inning in place of Erik Swanson. He started off by walking Mark Canha but retired the next four batters he faced. The Mariners would regain the lead in the bottom of the seventh, giving Sewald his sixth win of the year and his first since June 26. The 31-year-old has been reliable for the most part with a 2.45 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 51:12 K:BB over 29.1 innings.

Graveman pitched a scoreless ninth to pick up his 10th save of the year Friday against the Athletics. He did not allow a hit but walked a batter and struck out two in the process.

Graveman issued a walk to Matt Chapman in the inning but closed the door with back-to-back strikeouts to end the game. He went over two weeks without a save in July, but Graveman has now picked up two of them in a span of four days. He continues to be rock solid with a 0.87 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 31:7 K:BB over 31 innings.
