Clarke allowed no hits and a walk with no strikeouts over a scoreless inning Saturday against the Blue Jays to record his fifth hold of the season.

The 32-year-old was trusted with the eighth inning of a one-run game Saturday and came through, issuing only a harmless two-out walk before handing the ball off for Carlos Estevez to close. Clarke hasn't been a fixture in high-leverage spots this year, but he's been excellent in the second half, compiling a 1.98 ERA and 0.77 WHIP over 26 outings and 27.1 innings since the All-Star break.

Basso threw a perfect inning with no strikeouts in Saturday's loss to the Pirates.

Basso worked a clean eighth inning Saturday in a game where the Athletics' offense couldn't get going. The left-hander was called up Aug. 27 and has been effective since, tossing nine straight scoreless appearances. It's a small sample, but the 27-year-old's early results are encouraging, especially considering he was primarily used as a starter before this year.

Bazardo picked up a hold Saturday against Houston, allowing two hits and striking out two in two-thirds of an inning.

That makes it 11 consecutive scoreless outings for Bazardo, who's been a key part of the Seattle bullpen all year long. The right-hander has a 2.34 ERA, a career-best 0.96 WHIP and 79:26 K:BB over 77 frames. While Bazardo had zero holds in his career entering 2025, he has 12 of them this year.

Garcia allowed two hits and a walk in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 3-0 win over the Rockies.

Garcia got the save chance because Kenley Jansen stayed back in Anaheim to avoid the risks associated with his atrial fibrillation, which has been aggravated by the altitude in past trips to Colorado, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Garcia wasn't exactly at his best, allowing multiple baserunners for the fourth time in his last eight appearances, but he was able to get the job done for his second save of the season. The right-hander has added 11 holds while pitching to a 3.48 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 48:25 K:BB over 54.1 innings between the Angels, Dodgers and Nationals this season. Garcia has pitched twice in the last three days, so it's unclear if he'll be available should a save situation arise Sunday.

Vest (6-5) blew the save and took the loss Saturday. giving up two runs on four hits in two-thirds of an inning. He struck out two.

The blown save was Vest's seventh of the year, and second in his last four chances. Over his last 10 appearances, the right-hander has stumbled to a 6.75 ERA, 2.25 WHIP and 9:6 K:BB over 10.2 innings, and with Kyle Finnegan back from the IL, Vest may not see many more save chances over the final days of the regular season.

Chapman earned the save Saturday against the Rays, walking one and striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

Chapman collected save No. 31 on the season, and he has successfully converted each of his last 14 save opportunities. The veteran southpaw is a candidate to bring home what would be second career American League Reliever of the Year Award, delivering a stellar 1.21 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 83:15 K:BB over 59.1 innings. Chapman has a 30-save season for the first time since 2021 and the ninth time in his career.

Munoz collected the save in Saturday's 6-4 win at Houston, allowing a walk, a hit-by-pitch and no hits over a scoreless frame. He struck out one.

The Seattle flamethrower worked around a leadoff runner to pocket the 77th save of his six-year career. Munoz has now completed eight consecutive scoreless outings, over which he's produced a 0.63 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB across eight innings. Overall, the 26-year-old has been one of the league's best relievers this season, producing a 1.49 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 81:26 K:BB in 60.1 innings while converting 37 of 44 save opportunities.

Estevez allowed one hit and no walks in a scoreless frame with no strikeouts to earn the save in Saturday's 2-1 win against Toronto.

The Kansas City closer required only 13 pitches to notch his league-leading 41st save. Estevez has blown only one save in the second half -- his first appearance post-All-Star break July 18 -- as he's pitched to a 1.98 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 17:1 K:BB in 22.2 innings while converting 15 saves since then. Overall, the 32-year-old righty sports a 2.49 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 52:22 K:BB across 65 frames.

Spence will start Sunday's game against the Pirates, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

Since being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sept. 10, Spence has made one appearance out of the Athletics bullpen, tossing 3.2 innings scoreless frames Tuesday in a win over the Red Sox. He'll be returning to the mound Sunday on four days' rest and shouldn't be operating with a strict pitch limit. He's worked as a traditional starter for a good chunk of the season, making seven starts with the Athletics and seven with Las Vegas.

The Angels recalled Bachman from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday.

The 25-year-old righty will rejoin the Angels' bullpen as a replacement for Robert Stephenson, who landed on the injured list Saturday with an elbow injury. Bachman has dominated Triple-A batters to the tune of a 0.71 ERA through 25.1 innings, but he carries a 4.96 ERA through 16.1 frames with the Halos.
