  • Kris Bubic SP | KC

    Royals' Kris Bubic: Falters in extra innings

    Bubic (0-1) took the extra-innings loss and a blown save versus the Yankees on Wednesday, allowing two unearned runs on one hit and one walk over 1.1 innings.

    Bubic gave up a game-tying sacrifice fly in the 10th inning and then surrendered a walk-off single to Jazz Chisholm in the 11th. The initial runner scored both times, so this outing won't hurt Bubic's ERA, which stands at 3.42 on the year. He's added a 1.14 WHIP and 29:4 K:BB through 23.2 innings, and his impressive control has earned him the opportunity to pitch in high-leverage situations recently. He's added six holds this year, though he also has three blown saves.

  • Nick Sandlin RP | LAA

    Guardians' Nick Sandlin: Picks up eighth win

    Sandlin (8-0) allowed a hit and a walk while striking out two over 1.1 scoreless innings to earn the win over the White Sox on Wednesday.

    The Guardians never trailed in the contest, but starter Matthew Boyd needed 95 pitches to get through 4.1 innings. Sandlin took over in the fifth and secured his first win since Aug. 12. Over his last 12 appearances, Sandlin has given up four runs across 10.1 innings with a 12:7 K:BB. He's now at a 3.78 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 63:25 K:BB while adding a save and eight holds over 52.1 innings as a middle reliever this year.

  • Mason Miller SP | SD

    Athletics' Mason Miller: Converts 24th save

    Miller pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in a 5-4 win over the Astros on Wednesday.

    Miller retired the side on nine pitches (seven strikes) to earn his first save since Aug. 28. He's seen little usage in September, pitching four times while allowing five runs (three earned) over 5.2 innings in that span. He's had a couple of bumps in the road this year but has maintained a 2.34 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 91:19 K:BB over 57.2 innings while converting 24 of 26 save chances.

  • Jhoan Duran RP | PHI

    Twins' Jhoan Duran: Allows run but grabs save

    Duran allowed a run on three hits and struck out two over one inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Angels.

    Duran was able to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning despite giving up an RBI single to Nolan Schanuel. Over his last seven appearances (5.2 innings), Duran has surrendered eight runs (seven earned), though he's still logged five saves in that span. The right-hander is now at a 4.10 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 56:13 K:BB while racking up 23 saves through 48.1 innings this year.

  • Jason Foley RP | SF

    Tigers' Jason Foley: Slams door Wednesday

    Foley pitched a scoreless ninth inning to record the save in Wednesday's 7-4 win over the Rockies. He walked one and struck out two.

    While Tyler Holton has worked his way into the closer mix with seven saves this season, Foley has recorded Detroit's last two saves, and he now has a team-high 22 for the year. The righty doesn't miss a ton of bats, as he has only 40 strikeouts across 53.1 innings, but he's been effective in his role nonetheless. With the Tigers scrapping to stay in contention for a playoff spot, Foley should continue to see plenty of high-leverage work in the season's final few weeks.

  • Tyler Holton RP | DET

    Tigers' Tyler Holton: Picks up sixth win

    Holton (6-1) pitched two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Wednesday's 7-4 victory over the Rockies. He allowed a hit and struck out one.

    Holton has been a revelation out of the bullpen for the Tigers, as his six wins are tied with Shelby Miller for the most on the team among relievers. The lefty also has a sparkling 2.23 ERA and seven saves, including three in his previous seven appearances. Detroit clearly trusts Holton in key spots, and his performance to date has warranted plenty of fantasy attention. Holton and Jason Foley, who recorded his team-leading 22nd save Wednesday, have emerged as Detroit's top two relief options.

  • Emmanuel Clase RP | CLE

    Guardians' Emmanuel Clase: Up to 44 saves

    Clase earned the save in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the White Sox, allowing one hit while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Clase's allowed just one earned run over his last 24 appearances (25 innings). He's up to a league-leading 44 saves, matching a career high, with a stellar 0.67 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 60:8 K:BB across 67.1 innings this season.

  • Bowden Francis RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Bowden Francis: Loses no-hitter in the ninth

    Francis allowed one run on one hit and one walk over eight innings Wednesday in a no-decision against the Mets. He struck out one.

    Francis lost a no-hitter in the ninth inning for the second time in his last four starts. The right-hander issued just one walk through eight innings before Francisco Lindor smacked a game-tying homer to lead off the ninth. Despite another tough finish, Francis has been spectacular of late. Overall, the 28-year-old Francis is 8-4 on the season with a 3.50 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 82:20 K:BB over 92.2 innings. He's currently lined up for a road matchup with the Rangers next week in his next start.

  • Red Sox's Cam Booser: Back from injured list

    The Red Sox activated Booser (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday. Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    The left-hander landed on the shelf due to elbow inflammation in mid-August and is ready to rejoin the active roster after two scoreless rehab appearances. Booser has been effective out of the bullpen during his rookie campaign with a 3.00 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 42:13 K:BB over 42 innings.

  • Edwin Uceta RP | TB

    Rays' Edwin Uceta: Suspension reduced to two games

    Uceta's suspension was reduced Wednesday from three games to two games plus a fine, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    The reliever's suspension comes after umpires determined he intentionally hit Nick Castellanos with a pitch during Tuesday's loss to Philadelphia. Uceta will begin serving the suspension Wednesday, but the Rays will now be able to add him to their bullpen a day earlier than initially expected.
