Hader (6-7) took the loss Monday, allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk in an inning-plus of relief as the Astros fell 3-2 to the Phillies in 10 innings. He struck out three.

The fireballing closer struck out the side in the ninth inning to preserve a 2-2 tie, but when Hader came out to begin the 10th, a walk to Trea Turner was following by a walk-off single by Bryce Harper. Hader has still gone the entire month of August without giving up an earned run, and over his last 12 appearances he sports a 0.00 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB in 12.1 innings. The southpaw needs two more saves to record his fifth 30-save campaign, and he sits seven short of 200 for his career.

Erceg recorded his eighth save of the season in the first game of Monday's doubleheader sweep of the Guardians, walking one batter in a scoreless ninth inning.

The right-hander got only seven of his 14 pitches over the plate, and Erceg got some help from his defense when Maikel Garcia made a leaping grab on a one-out David Fry liner that might have brought home the tying run. Erceg has converted all five of his save chances since joining the Royals, and he hasn't walked a batter since July 21, going 14.1 innings between free passes with a 0.00 ERA, 0.42 WHIP and 18 strikeouts.

Slaten struck out one over a scoreless inning in the second game of Monday's doubleheader against Toronto.

Slaten, who was activated from the 15-day injured list earlier in the day, made his first appearance for the Red Sox since July 7. He came on in the fourth inning and worked around an infield error. The Red Sox have felt Slaten's loss, and they hope the right-hander can stabilize what has been a shaky bullpen in the second half.

Little allowed a hit in 1.1 scoreless innings against Boston on Monday. He struck out one and earned a save.

Little needed just 13 pitches (nine strikes) to record four outs and earn his first career MLB save. The Blue Jays went up 7-3 in the ninth inning and Chad Green pitched Friday and Saturday, so the team opted to leave Little out there for the four-out save. Little owns a 3.78 ERA with a 27:14 K:BB through 33 innings this season. He had given up four earned runs over his last nine innings entering Monday's contest.

Holton pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Monday's 6-3 win over the White Sox.

Top closing option Jason Foley pitched an inning on Friday and Sunday, so the Tigers turned to Holton instead Monday. The lefty needed just 11 pitches to retire Chicago in order and record his fifth save of the season. Holton has been effective with a 2.38 ERA and 0.81 WHIP across 75.2 innings this season, though his fantasy upside is capped somewhat due to the lack of regular save opportunities.

Kelly did not factor in the decision Monday against Toronto after issuing two walks over three scoreless innings as the opener. He struck out four batters during the loss.

Kelly retired the first seven batters he faced before walking a pair in the third inning. He worked around the traffic before turning the ball over to Justin Slaten in the fourth inning. Kelly matched his longest MLB outing by recording nine outs and dropped his ERA to 2.58 across 52.1 innings. He's turned in 5.2 straight scoreless frames after yielding an earned run in each of his previous three appearances.

Holmes threw a perfect ninth inning to earn the save against the Nationals on Monday.

Holmes entered the game with a 5-2 lead and pitched a 1-2-3 frame against the Nationals. Holmes leads MLB with 10 blown saves, but he also ranks among the top five in the league with 28 saves. The 31-year-old has a 2.72 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 53 innings this season.

The Blue Jays recalled Eisert from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Toronto is designating Eisert as its 27th man for a de facto doubleheader with Boston, after the two teams previously completed a game earlier Monday that had been suspended in the second inning back on June 26. He'll provide a fresh relief arm for the nightcap Monday and will presumably be returned to Triple-A once the contest concludes.

The Tigers optioned Sammons to Triple-A Toledo following Sunday's game against the White Sox.

Sammons earned the win while serving in bulk relief Sunday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out three over 4.1 frames. Though he now holds a 1-1 record with a 3.62 ERA and 0.91 WHIP across 27.1 major-league innings this season, the Tigers didn't have a spot in the rotation available for him moving forward. In addition to Ty Madden getting called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move to make his first MLB start Monday in Chicago, the Tigers are also expected to get Casey Mize (hamstring) back in the rotation later this week.

The Tigers placed Vest on the paternity list Monday.

Vest will now miss a maximum of three games while away from the team. Across 57 outings this season, Vest has registered one save and eight holds with a 3.20 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 56.1 innings. Right-hander Mason Englert was recalled from Triple-A Toledo in a corresponding move.
