Jansen earned a save against the Rangers on Wednesday, allowing one hit and striking out one batter in one scoreless inning.

After the Angels rallied for three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to take an 11-8 lead, Jansen was summoned to close things out in the ninth. He gave up a one-out double but nothing more to nail down his first save since June 18. The save drought wasn't really of Jansen's doing -- he blew just one save during that span and hasn't given up an earned run in any of his past 10 appearances, notching a 13:2 K:BB over 10 innings during that stretch. The veteran closer has been effective in his first season as an Angel, converting 16 of 17 save chances while posting a 3.48 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB over 33.2 innings spanning 37 appearances.

Estevez picked up the save Wednesday against the Pirates, allowing one hit and no walks with one strikeout over a scoreless ninth inning.

Estevez hit the 25-save milestone for a third consecutive season, and he became the third closer in MLB to reach the threshold in 2025. The 32-year-old's ERA is down to 2.03 across 40 innings, and he owns a 33:14 K:BB on the year.

Sewald picked up the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over Houston, tossing a clean ninth inning. He struck out one.

Closer Emmanuel Clase had worked each of the past three days for Cleveland, so he earned a well-deserved rest Wednesday. His unavailability paved the way for Sewald to claim his second save of the season as he looks to settle in as a high-leverage arm for the Guardians. Through his first 14.2 frames, the veteran right-hander owns a 4.91 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB with four holds.

Duran tallied the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Cubs, throwing a clean ninth inning with no strikeouts.

Duran wasn't available for Tuesday's win over Chicago due to an illness, but he was feeling well enough to nail down his 14th save of the season Wednesday. The hard-throwing right-hander posted his fifth scoreless outing in a row, and he should continue to serve as the Twins' closer going forward. Through 41.1 innings this year, Duran holds an excellent 1.52 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 45:16 K:BB.

Lee (4-1) allowed four runs on five hits while retiring only one batter to take the loss Wednesday against the Rays.

Lee entered in the sixth inning with Detroit leading 3-2 and unraveled quickly to take his first loss in the majors. The rookie righty had been pitching well, as he came into the game with a 2.05 ERA across 30.2 innings, but he saw that number jump up to 3.19. Lee will look to get back on track soon, and his performance to date suggests he'll be able to shake off his first truly rough outing at the MLB level.

The Guardians optioned Herrin to Triple-A Columbus on Wednesday.

Herrin has turned in a 3.99 ERA and 1.50 WHIP through 29.1 innings with the Guardians this season, but he'll be sent to Triple-A to clear room for Kolby Allard. The 28-year-old Herrin is only a year removed from posting a 1.92 ERA and 0.97 WHIP during the 2024 regular season, and if he can recapture that form while in the minors, he should have a good chance to return to Cleveland at some point this summer.

The Angels transferred Strickland (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Strickland has been diagnosed with a "significant strain" in his right shoulder, according to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, and now won't be eligible to return from the injured list until sometime in early September. The Angels needed the 40-man roster spot in order to select the contract of reliever Carson Fulmer from Triple-A Salt Lake.

The Angels optioned Aldegheri to Double-A Rocket City on Wednesday.

Aldegheri tossed two innings of relief in Tuesday's 13-1 loss to the Rangers and allowed five earned runs on five hits and four walks. He struck out two of the 15 batters in which he faced and threw a total of 64 pitches. The Angels needed a fresh bullpen arm and selected the contract of veteran reliever Carson Fulmer.

The Angels selected Fulmer's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Wednesday.

Fulmer began the season in the Pirates' organization but was released last month and then signed a minor-league deal with the Angels. He appeared in nine games for Salt Lake, registering a 1.54 ERA and 12:6 K:BB across 11.2 innings of work. Fulmer will fill a middle-relief role for the Halos.

Allard re-signed with the Guardians on a minor-league contract Wednesday, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Allard was DFA'd by Cleveland last Thursday and elected free agency after clearing waivers. He's decided to return to the Guardians on a minor-league deal after logging a 2.55 ERA and 16:8 K:BB across 35.1 innings of work with the big-league club this season.
