    Tigers' Tyler Holton: Picks up fifth win Sunday

    Holton (5-3) tossed a scoreless inning of relief with two strikeouts to earn the win in Sunday's 2-1 victory over the Rangers.

    Holton's appearance got off to an inauspicious start, as he uncorked a wild pitch that brought home an inherited runner from third and left Tarik Skubal with a no-decision. However, Holton settled down from there and continued his strong play as of late. Over his last 10 outings, the lefty has allowed just two runs across 14.2 innings while striking out 14. As was the case each of the last two years, Holton has emerged as a valuable bullpen weapon for the Tigers.

  • Jacob Latz RP | TEX

    Rangers' Jacob Latz: Takes no-decision in spot start

    Latz did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers. He allowed one run on six hits and two walks over five innings with three strikeouts.

    The 29-year-old pitched valiantly in his third game started of the season after Nathan Eovaldi (back) had to be scratched from his scheduled start Sunday. The only blemish on Latz's performance came in the second when Zach McKinstry roped a run-scoring single. The Texas southpaw is likely to return to his usual bullpen role following this start, but it is possible he garners another turn in the rotation if Eovaldi's back injury requires additional missed time. Latz is currently enjoying the best season of his career in his fourth year with the Rangers, pitching to a 2.89 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 51:23 K:BB across 53 innings.

  • Will Vest RP | DET

    Tigers' Will Vest: Collects 16th save

    Vest earned the save in Sunday's 2-1 win at Texas, striking out two while retiring all four batters he faced over 1.1 scoreless innings.

    The Detroit closer required only nine pitches, eight of which were strikes, to secure his fourth multi-inning save of the season. Vest looked sharp in this bounce-back performance after suffering a blown save in his last appearance against Seattle on July 13 before the All-Star break. The right-handed reliever now sports a 2.28 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 50:15 K:BB across 44.1 total innings.

  • Chris Martin RP | TEX

    Rangers' Chris Martin: Exits contest with trainers

    Martin (undisclosed) exited his appearance in Sunday's contest against the Tigers early with an injury, Matthew Postins of SI.com reports.

    Martin entered the game in the top of the eighth inning, tasked with keeping the game tied at 1-1. The right-hander recorded two outs in the frame, giving up a trio of singles in the process, the last of which resulted in a run scored for Detroit. After the final single, Martin appeared to hurt his left leg, and he was ultimately removed from the contest as a result. Caleb Boushley replaced him on the mound, and more information on Martin's status will likely come in the near future.

  • Royals' Carlos Estevez: Earns one-out save

    Estevez recorded one out and earned a save against the Marlins on Sunday.

    The Royals were up 7-0 in the ninth inning before Andrew Hoffmann coughed up four runs, creating a save opportunity for Estevez. Estevez gave up an infield single before finishing off the victory to earn his 26th save of the year. He blew three straight save chances before converting Sunday, and he's now 26-for-32 in save opportunities this season. Estevez owns a 2.74 ERA with a 35:15 K:BB across 42.2 frames.

  • Devin Williams RP | NYM

    Yankees' Devin Williams: Picks up 14th save

    Williams earned the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over Atlanta, allowing a run on one hit while striking out one in the ninth inning.

    Williams would give up a 456-foot blast to Ronald Acuna to lead off the ninth before settling in and retiring the next three batters in order. While Williams has given up a run in back-to-back outings, he's converted 10 straight save chances since reclaiming the ninth-inning job in the Bronx. Overall, Williams is up to 14 saves while posting a 4.82 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP and 49:15 K:BB across 37.1 innings this season.

  • Yennier Cano RP | BAL

    Orioles' Yennier Cano: Registers 13th hold Sunday

    Cano threw a clean seventh inning to notch a hold in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Rays. He struck out one.

    Cano tallied his 13th hold of the campaign, and he bounced back after surrendering three runs his last time out versus Miami. Although the 31-year-old right-hander has a shaky 4.54 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 33.2 innings, he does have a respectable 37:11 K:BB while working mostly as a setup man for closer Felix Bautista this season.

  • Felix Bautista RP | BAL

    Orioles' Felix Bautista: Hangs on for 19th save

    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.

  • Blue Jays' Yariel Rodriguez: Picks up second save

    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.

  • Albert Suarez SP | BAL

    Orioles' Albert Suarez: Close to facing hitters

    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.
