Diamondbacks' Drey Jameson: Close to rehab assignment
Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Sunday that Jameson (hip) is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Reno during the upcoming week, Alex D'Agostino of SI.com reports.
Per Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com, Jameson threw 32 pitches over two innings in an unofficial game at extended spring training Saturday. Assuming Jameson bounces back well from that outing, he'll report to Reno in the coming days and will likely make at least a couple appearances before returning from the injured list. Jameson posted a 4.67 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 17.1 innings out of the Arizona bullpen before landing on the IL on July 21 due to right hip inflammation.

Raisel Iglesias RP | ATL
Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Earns first win
Iglesias (1-2) earned the win in Sunday's extra-inning win over the Yankees, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.
Iglesias shut down the heart of the Yankees' order in the bottom of the ninth inning before Atlanta took the win in the 10th. It was a clutch effort after the veteran closer allowed two earned runs in back-to-back outings, including a blown save Friday. On the season, he's 24-for-27 in save chances with a 2.95 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 48:12 K:BB across 42.2 innings.

Tyler Holton RP | DET
Tigers' Tyler Holton: Secures second save Sunday
Holton struck out the side in a clean inning of relief to earn the save in Sunday's 3-1, 10-inning victory over the Giants.
Regular closer Kenley Jansen worked the bottom of the ninth inning in a 1-1 tie, and just like Holton, struck out the side. Holton then came on in the bottom of the 10th to protect a 3-1 lead, and he needed 12 pitches to mow down the Giants in order and record his second save of the season. The lefty has been good this year with a 2.78 ERA overall, and he's been even better lately, posting a 1.38 ERA and 0.85 WHIP across his last 10 appearances.

Tigers' Kenley Jansen: Strikes out three, earns win Sunday
Jansen (3-4) struck out the side in a clean inning of relief and earned the win in Sunday's 3-1, 10-inning victory over the Giants.
Jansen worked the bottom of the ninth inning and needed 15 pitches to tally three strikeouts and keep the game tied 1-1. The veteran reliever then earned the win when Detroit scored twice in the top of the 10th, with Tyler Holton coming on for the save. Jansen has been sharp lately with a 0.90 ERA and 14 strikeouts across 10 innings of work in his last 10 appearances. Overall, he's sitting on a 3.82 ERA and leads the Tigers with 13 saves in 17 chances this season.

Ian Seymour RP | TB
Rays' Ian Seymour: Earns third straight win
Seymour (9-3) allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Sunday.
Seymour has won his last three outings (two starts), allowing just three runs over 16.2 innings with a 20:3 K:BB in that span. He had some ups and downs in July but looks to be getting on course as a starter after stretching out in the majors over the last couple of months. Seymour is at a 4.08 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 106:30 K:BB through 90.1 innings over 38 games (nine starts) this season, though he's also had some bulk-relief assignments. The southpaw's next appearance is projected to be at home versus the Orioles, and he should have some security in the rotation while Shane McClanahan (back) and Griffin Jax (elbow) are on the injured list.

Hogan Harris RP | ATH
Athletics' Hogan Harris: Secures 11th save
Harris earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Red Sox, allowing one hit and one walk with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.
Harris was summoned after the Athletics took a one-run lead in the top of the ninth inning and stranded two baserunners to close the door. It marked back-to-back successful save chances for the 29-year-old, though he's yielded runs in three of his past five appearances. On the year, he owns a 3.63 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 70:34 K:BB across 52 innings to go along with 10 holds and 11 saves.

Kevin Ginkel RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Kevin Ginkel: Bags first save
Ginkel struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers.
Ginkel has allowed five runs (four earned) over 5.2 innings since Arizona's closer committee emerged. He has a save, a blown save, a hold and a win in that span. There's still no favorite for saves currently -- Brandyn Garcia has picked up two of them to Ginkel's one, while Jonathan Loaisiga and Juan Morillo have served more in setup roles since Paul Sewald was removed from the closer role. For the year, Ginkel has a 3.60 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 47:15 K:BB through 50 innings while adding 11 holds.

Sean Manaea RP | NYM
Mets' Sean Manaea: Dominant vs. Pittsburgh
Manaea (4-5) earned the win Sunday over the Pirates, allowing a run on three hits and no walks over seven innings. He struck out 11.
A Jake Mangum homer in the third inning accounted for the only run Manaea allowed Sunday, as the left-hander turned in his best start of the year, setting a season high with 11 strikeouts. Manaea has turned in four straight quality starts, allowing just six runs over 25 innings in that span. He's lowered his ERA to 4.13 on the season with a 1.32 WHIP and 106:35 K:BB across 104.2 innings. Manaea is tentatively slated to face the Nationals at home his next time out.

Will Klein RP | LAD
Dodgers' Will Klein: Dealing with bone chips
Klein underwent an MRI that revealed bone chips in his elbow, and the Dodgers are now deciding the next steps for his recovery, with surgery being an option, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The right-hander landed on the injured list Aug. 1 after surrendering 13 runs (eight earned) over his six previous outings, and his availability for the rest of the season could hang in the balance. If Klein needs to undergo surgery, he'll probably miss the rest of the campaign, so the Dodgers will likely be exploring all recovery options over the next few days.
