The Nationals placed Law on the 15-day injured list Saturday due to a right elbow flexor strain, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

Law has not allowed a run over his last six outings, and across 61 appearances this season he has a 2.85 ERA and 1.19 WHIP across 75.2 innings. It's unclear how severe the injury is, but he will get an MRI on Monday to determine how long his stint on the IL will be, per Nusbaum. With Robert Garcia going on the bereavement list, the Nationals promoted Joe La Sorsa and Joan Adon in corresponding moves.

Peralta (thigh) has been throwing off a mound, per MLB.com.

Peralta has been on the 15-day injured list since July 12 due to a left adductor strain. It's uncertain how much longer the veteran reliever will be out, but manager Mike Shildt recently indicated that Peralta is "in a good place." Prior to being sidelined, Peralta posted a 4.50 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 20:12 K:BB over 34 innings while notching two wins and 11 holds across 41 appearances.

The Nationals recalled Adon from Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.

In six major-league appearances this season, Adon has posted a 6.48 ERA and 1.56 WHIP across 8.1 innings. He'll operate as a long-relief option out of the Washington bullpen.

Kolek (forearm) is rehabbing at San Diego's team complex in Arizona, but he has not yet resumed throwing, per MLB.com.

Kolek landed on the 15-day injured list due to right forearm tendinitis July 31. He's eligible to be activated but appears to be some time away from returning given that he hasn't yet begun a throwing program. The rookie reliever appeared in 42 games prior to the injury, posting a 5.21 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 39:12 K:BB while picking up three wins and two holds over 46.2 innings.

The Nationals selected La Sorsa's contract from Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.

La Sorsa appeared in 25 games at the big-league level between the Rays and Nationals in 2023, but he had spent the entirety of the 2024 campaign with Rochester before being called up Saturday. Over his 56 innings in the minors this season, La Sorsa has posted a 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 41:11 K:BB. He'll likely work in a low-leverage role out of the Washington bullpen.

The Dodgers reinstated Brasier (calf) from the 60-day injured list Saturday.

He hasn't pitched for the Dodgers since April 27 but did not allow a run while striking out 12 and walking one in eight innings during his rehab assignment at Triple-A Oklahoma City. Brasier should pitch in mid-leverage situations down the stretch.

The Dodgers optioned Grove to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Grove has made five appearances since returning from the injured list earlier this month, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four across 4.1 frames. The Dodgers will swap him off the 26-man active roster for another reliever in right-hander Ryan Brasier (calf), who was activated from the 60-day injured list.

Miller was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City prior to his start Saturday against the Cardinals.

Miller hasn't necessarily been pitching well at Triple-A, logging a 5.54 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and as many walks (11) as strikeouts in 13 innings over his last three starts. The Dodgers are searching for answers at the back of the rotation, so if he pitches well, he'll stick up, but some more shaky outings could lead to Miller heading back to Triple-A.

The Dodgers optioned Wrobleski to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

Wrobleski picked up his first big-league win Friday against the Cardinals, although it was not his best big-league start to date, as he surrendered three home runs in five innings. Bobby Miller will be the latest addition to the rotation, but given all the injuries the Dodgers have suffered, it's possible Wrobleski returns as a big-league starter again this season.

The Phillies transferred Turnbull (lat) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday.

The move makes room on the 40-man roster for Tyler Gilbert, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. Turnbull landed on the 15-day injured list June 27 due to a right lat strain, and his move to the 60-day IL confirms that he won't be ready for activation until at least the final week of August. Whenever he eventually rejoins the big club, Turnbull is expected to work out of the bullpen for the remainder of the season. He has been limited to bullpen sessions since the start of August and has yet to embark on a minor-league rehab assignment.
