Bautista earned the save in Sunday's 5-3 win over Tampa Bay, allowing a run on one hit and three walks in the ninth inning. He struck out two.

Bautista appeared to be rusty in his first appearance since the All-Star break. While he managed to strike out Junior Caminero to leave the bases loaded, Bautista needed 34 pitches, just 18 of which were strikes, to get through the ninth inning. The right-hander was dominant heading into the break, allowing just one run while striking out 27 in his previous 16 innings. Overall, Bautista is 19-for-20 in save chances this year while posting a 2.60 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP and 50:23 K:BB over 34.2 innings.

Rodriguez turned in a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Sunday's 8-6 win over San Francisco.

With Jeff Hoffman having pitched in the Jays' previous two games, it was Rodriguez who got the call in the ninth Sunday. The right-hander made quick work of the Giants, retiring the side on just seven pitches, to extend his scoreless streak to 7.2 innings while picking up his second save of the year. The 28-year-old Rodriguez has impressed in a setup role this season, working to a 2.37 ERA with a 0.91 WHIP and 48:16 K:BB across 49.1 innings.

Suarez (shoulder) is expected to face hitters in live batting practice before the end of July, MLB.com reports.

Suarez was cleared to throw off a mound earlier this month and tossed his most recent bullpen session Saturday. The right-hander is recovering from a subscapularis strain. Suarez made 24 starts for the Orioles in 2024, but he made his lone appearance this season out of the bullpen before he landed on the shelf. He's likely in line for a relief role once he returns from the 60-day injured list, but not needing to be stretched out for a starting job should shorten his rehab program.

Perkins collected a hold in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Guardians, striking out three while allowing no hits and one walk over three scoreless innings.

Perkins faced the minimum nine batters during his 31-pitch outing, and he atoned for the walk he issued to Carlos Santana to begin the bottom of the seventh by generating an inning-ending double play. Since being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on June 22, the 25-year-old righty has looked sharp as a long man out of the bullpen, netting a pair of three-inning saves while accruing a 2.84 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 14:4 K:BB in 12.2 frames. Manager Mark Kotsay has indicated Perkins will make starts for the Athletics before the end of the season, but his usage out of the bullpen Saturday suggests that he won't immediately fill the vacant spot in the club's rotation Tuesday in Texas.

Hurter tossed two scoreless innings of relief in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers. He walked one and struck out three.

Hurter has been struggling recently, as he had a 10.13 ERA and 3.38 WHIP across his last 10 appearances prior to Saturday. The lefty still has a strong 3.13 ERA overall, which reflects his effective performance earlier in the season. Hurter was a bullpen weapon for the Tigers last year, posting a 2.58 ERA and 0.88 WHIP in 45.1 regular-season innings, so he should be able to put his recent slump behind him and string together a few more good outings.

Bazardo (4-0) notched the win and threw a clean 11th inning in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Astros. He struck out two.

While Bazardo remains well out of contention for save opportunities behind All-Star closer Andres Munoz, the former has been very effective overall when summoned from Seattle's bullpen. Bazardo owned a 6.35 ERA through April 17, but he's produced an excellent 1.83 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 38:17 K:BB over his last 39.1 innings (34 outings).

Thornton threw a clean seventh inning in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Astros. He struck out one.

Although he has just five holds this season, Thornton is beginning to settle in following a dreadful start to the year that saw him hold a 7.71 ERA as of June 10. The right-hander has worked multiple innings for the Mariners in five of his last 11 outings, during which sports a 1.06 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB covering 17 frames.

Soto covered a scoreless two-thirds of an inning with no strikeouts in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Rays.

With Baltimore's bullpen essentially at full strength, the Orioles have mostly deployed Soto as a left-handed specialist. Soto has now worked less than one inning in 21 of his 43 outings this season, and he's recorded more than two outs on just one occasion through his first seven appearances in July. Soto has a 3.67 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 40:15 K:BB to go with 18 holds across 34.1 innings, which at least offers him some appeal in fantasy leagues that count holds.

Fairbanks notched a save against the Orioles on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits while striking out one batter over one inning.

Fairbanks had a two-run lead to work with when he entered in the ninth frame, but things got interesting when Cedric Mullins hit an RBI single and then stole second base with two outs. Another base hit out of the infield would have likely tied the score, but Fairbanks got Jackson Holliday to fly out to end the threat. Fairbanks was thus able record his first save in July (his previous save had come June 26 against Kansas City). The veteran right-hander has 16 of Tampa Bay's 22 saves on the campaign, and he remains pretty secure in his role despite the recent three-week drought.

Latz will start in place of Nathan Eovaldi (back) in Sunday's game against the Tigers in Arlington, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Eovaldi was scheduled for the start opposite Detroit ace Tarik Skubal, but the Rangers righty has been scratched due to tightness in his back. In Eovaldi's place, Latz will step in for what will most likely be a spot start, unless Eovaldi requires a stint on the injured list. The lefty previously made two starts this season, topping out at six innings and 88 pitches June 24 versus Baltimore. Latz has pitched well overall this season, posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 48:21 K:BB over 48 frames spanning 21 appearances.
