    Hader earned the save in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Mariners, allowing one hit while striking out three in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Hader worked around a single while throwing 13 of 17 pitches for strikes. The southpaw has now allowed just one run across eight appearances in May and has delivered scoreless outings in 18 of 21 games this season.

    Twins' Jhoan Duran: Collects another win Saturday

    Duran (3-0) picked up the win in Wednesday's 5-4 victory over the Royals, striking out two while allowing a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning.

    The Twins' closer entered the game with the score tied 4-4 in the top of the ninth and got rewarded for his efforts when Brooks Lee hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the frame. All three of Duran's wins have come in his last five appearances, and through 23.1 innings on the season he sports a sparkling 1.16 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB with eight saves in nine chances.

  • Cionel Perez RP | BAL

    Orioles' Cionel Perez: DFA'd by Baltimore

    Perez will exit the 40-man roster after posting an 8.31 ERA, 2.12 WHIP and 21:18 K:BB across 21.2 innings this season. The move makes room in the Orioles' bullpen for Yaramil Hiraldo, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Norfolk by Baltimore on Saturday.

  • Sean Newcomb RP | CHW

    Red Sox's Sean Newcomb: Exits 40-man roster

    The Red Sox designated Newcomb for assignment Saturday.

    The move makes room on the roster for Luis Guerrero, who the Red Sox recalled from Triple-A Worcester. Newcomb has a 3.83 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 41:16 K:BB across 40 innings this season, but he has yielded seven runs (six earned) over his last 12.1 frames.

  • Luis Guerrero RP | BOS

    Red Sox's Luis Guerrero: Returning to majors

    The Red Sox recalled Guerrero from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.

    Guerrero has appeared in three major-league games for the Red Sox this season and has tossed four scoreless innings while allowing one hit and striking out three batters without issuing a walk. He has a 4.91 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 16:10 K:BB across 18.1 innings in Triple-A this season. Guerrero will take the spot in the bullpen vacated by Sean Newcomb, who was designated for assignment by the Red Sox in a corresponding move.

  • Yimi Garcia RP | TOR

Garcia will be shut down from throwing and will undergo further tests to determine a timeline for his return to the majors. It's a significant blow to Toronto's bullpen, with Garcia posting a 3.15 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB across 20 innings with three saves and six holds this season. Paxton Schultz was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.
