Leone picked up the save Tuesday against the Giants. He allowed one run on one hit while striking out one over two innings.

Leone was picked up by the Halos at the beginning of August via trade and converted on his first save opportunity of the season. While he's expected to remain a middle reliever moving forward, Leone owns a 1.80 ERA and a 19:6 K:BB over his last 15 appearances (15 innings), and he could be a name to monitor for high-leverage work if Carlos Estevez's struggles persist.

Clase picked up the save in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Blue Jays. He allowed two hits and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

Clase worked around a pair of infield singles, inducing an Alejandro Kirk flyout to end the threat and earn the save. After blowing a save Sunday and serving a one-game suspension Monday for his role in a brawl with the White Sox, the 25-year-old flamethrower returned to notch his 30th save, a milestone Clase has now reached in back-to-back seasons.

Fairbanks picked up the save in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over the Cardinals. He allowed a run on one hit while logging a strikeout over an inning.

Fairbanks' five-game (4.1 innings) scoreless streak ended when he surrendered a solo homer to Willson Contreras. However, the 29-year-old Fairbanks rebounded to close out the Rays' victory and earn his 11th straight save. Overall, Fairbanks is 15-for-16 in save chances this season with a 2.00 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 32:11 K:BB across 27 innings.

Pressly (undisclosed) picked up the save in Tuesday's 7-6 win over Baltimore. He struck out one over a perfect inning.

After getting the day off Sunday, Pressly was back in action Tuesday and tossed a perfect inning for his 27th save of the campaign. After allowing one or more runs in four of his previous seven appearances, Pressly has rattled off four consecutive shutout frames. Despite the rest day, fantasy managers should expect Pressly to be fully healthy moving forward while he currently boasts the sixth-most saves in baseball and dons a 2.98 ERA through 51.1 innings of work.

Beeks will serve as the Rays' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Wednesday will mark the eighth start of the season for Beeks, who holds a 6.27 ERA and 1.47 WHIP through 37.1 frames on the season. The Rays are already planning on Wednesday's contest being a bullpen game, so Beeks will likely remain in the contest only for an inning or two.

The Tigers recalled Wingenter from Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Wingenter will come up from Triple-A to take the spot of Jason Foley, who was placed on the bereavement list Tuesday. Wingenter has bounced between the minors and majors all season and holds a 6.48 ERA and 1.44 WHIP through 8.1 innings with the Tigers.

The Tigers placed Foley on the bereavement list Tuesday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

Foley will be allowed to miss up to seven games as he mourns the passing of his grandmother. Trey Wingenter will come up from Triple-A Toledo to take Foley's place in Detroit's bullpen.

Tarnok will serve as the primary pitcher for the Athletics on Wednesday against the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

The Athletics will likely deploy an opener in front of him, but Tarnok is slated to work multiple innings Wednesday and profiles as the Oakland pitcher most likely to factor into any decision. The 24-year-old right-hander has posted a 6.75 ERA and 10:9 K:BB through 10.2 major-league frames this season. He looks like he could get a spin in the No. 5 spot in the rotation after Oakland recently demoted Hogan Harris to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Kansas City recalled Hearn from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

Hearn was acquired from Atlanta on July 30 and will now get a look out of Royals' bullpen. The 28-year-old left-hander has surrendered 12 earned runs in just 7.1 innings of work this season at the major-league level.

Romano (back) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Romano resumed throwing off a mound over the weekend and has responded well so far. Out since late July due to lower-back inflammation, he could skip a minor-league rehab assignment and return to the Blue Jays' closer role when first eligible this Sunday. Erik Swanson and Jordan Hicks have largely been sharing ninth-inning duties in his absence.
