Colome allowed one run on one hit and two walks over 1.2 innings to pick up his 14th save in a win over the Nationals on Tuesday.

The White Sox were cruising until Aaron Bummer hit an eighth-inning speed bump, giving up two runs and leaving traffic on the basepaths. Colome then experienced duress in his own right in the form of the ninth-inning homer he surrendered to Anthony Rendon. However, he managed to nail down the five-out save in what qualified as just the second time he's been asked to pitch more than an inning this season.

May gave up two hits and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his first save of the season in a 6-5 win over the Mariners.

Considered the favorite for Minnesota's closing role at times during draft season, it took the 29-year-old over two months to finally nab his first save. Given Blake Parker's recent struggles, it's possible May could bump him aside as the primary right-hander in manager Rocco Baldelli's committee, but don't overreact to one ninth-inning assignment.

Robles earned his ninth save against the Dodgers on Tuesday, pitching 1.2 scoreless innings and giving up two hits and no walks while striking out three.

After getting two quick outs in the eighth inning, Robles returned in the ninth with the same 5-3 lead he protected Monday. As in the previous game, Robles began the ninth by allowing back-to-back hits and then settled in to retire the next three hitters without allowing a run to cross the plate. His ability to put away hitters when needed has resulted in nine saves in 11 chances, along with a 3.45 ERA and 1.05 WHIP.

Treinen allowed one run on one hit with a strikeout and a walk en route to a save in a 4-3 victory against the Rays on Tuesday.

This appearance provides something of a snapshot of Treinen's season. He owns a 3.51 ERA and 1.50 WHIP, which are both rather high for a closer, but he is also 15-for-17 in save chances. One of his biggest issues has been control, as he's walked 19 in just 33.1 innings. Treinen also has 33 strikeouts this season.

Stanek allowed one hit with two strikeouts during an inning as an opener against the Athletics on Tuesday.

After giving up a run in two different outings against the Twins and Tigers, the 27-year-old is back on track, having given up no runs and only one hit in his last 2.1 frames. Despite those two subpar appearances, Stanek owns a 1.46 ERA in his last eight outings. He has strong numbers overall -- 0-1 record, 2.70 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 40 strikeouts in 36.2 innings -- but as is the case with all openers, he doesn't pitch long enough to factor into the decision and thus his fantasy utility is limited.

Puk (elbow) started High-A Stockton's win over San Jose on Tuesday, recording four strikeouts while allowing an earned run on a solo home run across two innings. He also issued one walk.

Puk fired a total of 33 pitches, 22 of which found the strike zone. Outside of his one costly mistake, Puk was sharp for a pitcher who'd last seen game action in mid-March 2018. The left-hander is slated for multiple rehab outings before activation, at which point he could make his big-league debut in the Athletics' bullpen if recent comments from big-league manager Bob Melvin hold true.

Jurado (4-2) allowed three earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six across six innings to earn the win Tuesday against the Red Sox.

Jurado looked to be in line for a poor outing, allowing three earned runs in his first three innings of work. However, he received plenty of run support and held the Red Sox to just three baserunners in his final three innings of work to record his fourth consecutive quality start. Jurado has proven to be one of the biggest surprises of the season, compiling a 3.02 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 41.2 innings of work to go along with 34 strikeouts. He'll look to keep things going on Sunday as the Rangers travel to hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park to face the Reds.

Thornton (1-5) took the loss Tuesday at Baltimore after giving up three runs on seven hits over five innings. He struck out four and walked three.

Thornton issued three walks in his fourth straight start as free passes continue to be a major hurdle for the right-hander. The 25-year-old has a 4.78 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 73:34 K:BB through 69.2 innings and has a daunting matchup Sunday at Houston.

Rogers was unavailable to pitch Tuesday against the Mariners due to a minor back injury, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Rogers hasn't pitched since throwing two innings Thursday at Cleveland, but it's unclear when he actually sustained the injury. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue for the 28-year-old and he should be considered day-to-day. Trevor May -- not Blake Parker -- was called upon for the save in his absence Tuesday.

Sadzeck underwent an MRI on his inflamed elbow Tuesday which revealed no structural damage, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Sadzeck resumed throwing quickly after landing on the injured list last Tuesday, though he experienced elbow discomfort right away and was shut down from throwing. Despite good news from his tests, he still hasn't been cleared to resume throwing.
