  • Ryan Yarbrough RP | NYY

    Blue Jays' Ryan Yarbrough: Sharp in bulk relief Sunday

    Yarbrough came away with a no-decision in Sunday's loss to the Rays, allowing one run on two hits and a walk over four relief innings. He struck out five.

    Taking the mound with one out in the second inning after an impressive stint from opener Ryan Burr, Yarbrough tossed 54 pitches (38 strikes) and held Tampa Bay scoreless, only to watch Zach Pop let his inherited runner cross the plate in the sixth. Yarbrough has a 1.98 ERA, 0.59 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB over 13.2 innings in September across five appearances, but it's not clear if he'll get another scheduled turn as a bulk reliever before the end of the season.

  • Tim Herrin RP | CLE

    Guardians' Tim Herrin: Handed first loss

    Herrin (5-1) was charged with the loss Sunday against the Cardinals after giving up one run on a hit-by-pitch over one inning.

    The hit batsman (Lars Nootbaar) was the only baserunner Herrin allowed in his appearance. Andrew Walters faltered in relieving Herrin, walking two batters and uncorking a wild pitch that allowed that the decisive run to score. It's a tough way to lose a 9.2-inning scoreless streak, but Herrin has been excellent in a mostly low-leverage role this year. He's pitched to a 1.98 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 66:25 K:BB across 64.2 innings while adding 15 holds, though he hasn't seen consistent usage as a setup man.

  • JT Chargois RP | TEX

    Mariners' JT Chargois: Charged with blown save Sunday

    Chargois was charged with his second blown save of the season in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday, allowing an earned run on a solo home run and a walk over one inning. He struck out one.

    Chargois' outing had a little bit of everything, with the veteran right-hander allowing a game-tying, one-out solo shot to the second batter he faced in the seventh inning, Leody Taveras. Chargois would get out of the frame without any further damage, but he set the early stage for a critical loss for the Mariners. The 33-year-old came into the outing on a nine-appearance run of strong performances, as he'd allowed just one earned run on two hits and three walks over his previous 7.2 innings.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Two more scoreless rehab outings

    Santos (biceps) continued his rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma with one-inning scoreless appearances Wednesday and Saturday, allowing one hit and two walks while recording a strikeout over that span.

    Santos has now logged 5.1 innings across six appearances with the Rainiers, allowing just one run on two hits but also posting a crooked 6:7 K:BB. While the spotty control is somewhat of a concern, Santos' arm appears primed for a return to the big-league bullpen as the Mariners make a push for a wild-card spot during the final week of the regular season.

  • Edwin Uceta RP | TB

    Rays' Edwin Uceta: Converts adventurous save

    Uceta allowed one earned run on two hits and one walk while striking out one in the ninth inning to earn the save Sunday against the Blue Jays.

    Uceta was called upon to protect a two-run lead and allowed the tying run to reach third base with only one out. However, he recorded the final two outs without allowing the ball out of the infield to record his fourth save of the season. Uceta remains one of the most skilled pitchers in the Rays' bullpen, but a different reliever has now converted each of the team's four save chances.

  • Jason Foley RP | SF

    Tigers' Jason Foley: Secures key save Sunday

    Foley pitched a clean ninth inning with a strikeout to record the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.

    With Detroit winning and Minnesota losing twice Sunday, the Tigers moved into the last AL wild-card spot for the moment. Foley has been a key part of the team's recent surge, as he now has 26 saves this season, including four in the last week. Expect Detroit to keep leaning on its closer in the final week of the regular season as the club battles for a playoff berth.

  • Tyler Holton RP | DET

    Tigers' Tyler Holton: Thrives in opening role

    Holton drew the start in Sunday's win over Baltimore, allowing zero hits and one walk while striking out four in two scoreless innings. He did not factor into the decision.

    Holton opened Sunday's game for the Tigers, his ninth start of the season. The 28-year-old excelled, striking out four while not allowing a hit in two dominant frames. The versatile reliever owns a pristine 2.25 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 75:16 K:BB in 92 innings, collecting 13 holds and converting all eight save opportunities.

  • Angels' Guillermo Zuniga: Earns second save

    Zuniga struck out the only batter he faced to earn a save against the Astros on Sunday.

    Zuniga came into a 9-8 game with two outs and two runners on base after Jose Quijada struggled to close out the game. Zuniga struck out Jeremy Pena on five pitches to end the threat. It was Zuniga's second save of the year and first since April 3. He owns a 12:8 K:BB and a 4.30 ERA through 14.2 MLB innings this season.

  • Josh Hader RP | HOU

    Astros' Josh Hader: Stumbles against Angels

    Hader (8-8) allowed four runs on three hits and two walks while recording one out Sunday. He blew a save chance and took the loss against the Angels.

    Hader entered a 6-5 game in the ninth inning and couldn't finish off the win. He walked Taylor Ward with the bases loaded to tie the game before Zach Neto ripped a bases-clearing double. Hader has been streaky this season but had allowed just three earned runs since the start of August before Sunday's hiccup. His ERA jumped up to 3.67 with a 101:24 K:BB through 68.2 innings.

  • Jose Suarez SP | ATL

    Angels' Jose Suarez: Drawing another start

    Suarez is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the White Sox in Chicago.

    Suarez joined the rotation last week following the demotion of Caden Dana to Double-A Rocket City and the placement of Samuel Aldegheri (finger) on the injured list. While making his second start of the season last Thursday in Houston, Suarez took a no-decision while striking out five and holding the Astros to one unearned run on three hits and two walks. He could make for an attractive stream option during the final week of the season as he faces a hapless White Sox squad that has already lost 120 games.
