Hoffman (6-4) took the loss in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Orioles, allowing one run on two hits in the eighth inning. He struck out one.

Brought in with the score tied at 2-2, Hoffman gave up back-to-back doubles to Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman to hand Baltimore the victory. Hoffman hadn't pitched in a week, but the extra rest did nothing to help his performance, and the right-hander sports a 5.00 ERA through nine innings in July despite a 1.11 WHIP and 12:1 K:BB, as much of the contact he's allowed has been hard -- five of the nine hits he's given up this month have gone for extra bases (three doubles, two homers). Barring a huge addition to the Toronto bullpen at the trade deadline, though, Hoffman's hold on the closer role appears secure as he's converted seven straight save chances, with his last blown save coming June 22.

Jansen picked up the save in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Rangers, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.

The save was Jansen's 20th of the season, and he hasn't given up an earned run since his June 15 outing in Baltimore. Since then, the veteran right-hander has a 0.61 WHIP and 17:2 K:BB covering 16.1 innings as the Angels' closer. Jansen has been a rumored trade candidate ahead of Thursday's deadline, and it remains to be seen how a potential move might affect his fantasy value.

Stephenson (biceps) threw from 120 feet Tuesday and is slated to throw off a mound Wednesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Stephenson recently expressed frustration about the slow pace of his rehab, but he said after reaching 120 feet during long toss Tuesday that his arm "turned for the better." The veteran reliever is now scheduled for a bullpen Wednesday, though he's planning to throw only fastballs in that session. Stephenson has appeared in just two games with the Angels so far this season, but if he doesn't hit any snags in his current rehab, he could be back with the team around mid-August.

Estevez earned the save Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning to secure a 9-6 win.

Estevez was called upon to protect a three-run lead and handled the task with ease, working around a two-out single by Ozzie Albies to record his 28th save of the season. The right-hander sits tied for second in MLB in saves alongside Josh Hader. Estevez now holds a 2.56 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 37:16 K:BB across 45.2 innings in 2025.

Zerpa will serve as the Royals' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

Zerpa owns a 3.77 ERA and 1.30 WHIP through 43 innings and has pitched primarily in middle relief this season, but the Royals will have him start his second game of the campaign after he previously served as an opener July 12 versus the Mets. The 25-year-old southpaw likely won't cover more than an inning or two before exiting the contest.

Hader picked up the save in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Nationals, striking out the side in a perfect ninth inning.

The All-Star southpaw dispatched the Nationals, with nine of his 13 pitches landing for strikes. The three strikeouts were Hader's most since May 28 versus the Athletics, and he's tallied multiple punchouts in seven of his last nine outings. For the season, he owns a 2.22 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 73:13 K:BB while converting 28 of his 29 save chances over 48.2 frames.

Chapman struck out the only batter he faced and earned a save against Minnesota on Tuesday.

Chapman made his first appearance since dealing with back tightness against the Dodgers on Sunday. He showed no signs of injury in Tuesday's short outing; the veteran southpaw struck out Mickey Gasper on three pitches, ending with a 101 mph sinker. Chapman owns an outstanding 1.29 ERA and 62:13 K:BB through 42 frames. He's converted 19 of his 21 save chances this season.

Allard will start Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

Allard has been enjoying a career season in 2025, posting a 2.83 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 41.1 innings in 21 appearances (one start). The 27-year-old southpaw had started in all four of his appearances for Triple-A Columbus prior to being recalled July 9, but since he hasn't covered more than three innings in an appearance since late May, he's unlikely to work deep enough into Wednesday's game to qualify for a win.

Manager Alex Cora said Chapman (back) is available to pitch Tuesday against the Twins, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

The veteran left-hander was unavailable for Monday after exiting Sunday's game due to back tightness, but he's been cleared to take the mound after playing catch prior to Tuesday's contest. Chapman has surrendered just one earned run in his past 22 appearances, and he's converted 10 of 11 save chances with a 33:5 K:BB during that stretch.

The Orioles optioned Hiraldo to Double-A Chesapeake on Tuesday.

Hiraldo gave up one run in 2.0 innings during the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader, but he'll end up back in the minors. Elvin Rodriguez was called up from Double-A in a corresponding move.
