Helsley recorded a save against the Guardians on Saturday, striking out one batter in a perfect ninth inning.

Helsley got a relatively easy save chance, as he entered in the ninth inning with St. Louis holding a three-run lead. He came through with a stress-free frame, retiring all three batters he faced on 11 pitches. This was Helsley's third straight scoreless appearance following a rough stretch to begin June in which he gave up at least one earned run in four consecutive outings. While he's had some struggles this season, Helsley is tied for 11th in the majors with 16 saves in 21 opportunities.

Ashcraft (2-0) was the pitcher of record in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Mets after allowing one earned run on five hits and no walks while striking out two across 2.2 innings of relief.

After making a three-inning start in his first MLB start during Monday's win over the Brewers, Ashcraft shifted back to the bullpen this weekend. He entered Saturday's contest in the top of the second inning following a lengthy rain delay, relieving starter Bailey Falter. Ashcraft wasn't especially dominant Saturday and induced only five swinging strikes on his 52 pitches, but he largely worked his way out of trouble in both the third and fourth frames. The right-hander is likely to serve as a multi-inning reliever for Pittsburgh moving forward.

Holderman (thumb) began a rehab assignment with Single-A Bradenton on Thursday and gave up one run on one hit while striking out three over one inning.

Holderman has been on the shelf since May 20 due to right thumb inflammation but was cleared to report to Bradenton after completing his throwing program at the Pirates' spring training facility. He'll likely need a few appearances in the minors before being activated from the injured list, but he should be back in the Pirates bullpen at some point in early July.

Romano gave up four runs on four hits and no walks in the seventh inning during Saturday's 6-1 loss to Atlanta. He didn't record a strikeout.

Romano's standing in the Phillies' bullpen already appeared to be in a state of flux, and Saturday's showing certainly won't do him any favors. The right-hander served up a grand slam to Sean Murphy to blow the game wide open for Atlanta. Romano has worked to a 7.94 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 14:7 K:BB over his last 11.1 innings and hasn't seen a save chance in the month of June, so he seems to have fallen quite a bit behind Orion Kerkering and Matt Strahm when it comes to manager Rob Thomson's preferred ninth-inning options.

Suarez earned the save in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Reds, allowing two walks while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

Suarez returned from a two-game suspension and was immediately thrust into a save situation, working around two walks to secure the win. The 34-year-old has now delivered three straight scoreless outings and has converted all five of his save chances in June. He leads the majors with 23 saves, accompanied by a 3.41 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 36:11 K:BB across 34.1 innings this season.

Casparius (6-2) took the loss against the Royals on Saturday, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk with four strikeouts over four innings.

Casparius generated an impressive 13 whiffs on 85 pitches but was ultimately undone by a four-run fifth inning. While he entered the outing with back-to-back wins, the 26-year-old has now allowed 11 earned runs over 12.2 innings in three consecutive appearances working behind Shohei Ohtani. Casparius carries a 3.97 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 54:12 K:BB across 56.2 innings this season and could pitch behind Ohtani again in a home matchup with the Astros next weekend.

The Phillies optioned Rangel to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Rangel pitched five scoreless innings of relief Friday, but he'll return to Lehigh Valley so the Phillies can add a fresh arm to the bullpen in Daniel Robert. Rangel owns a 4.96 ERA in 69 innings at Lehigh Valley this season.

The Phillies recalled Robert from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

Robert will return to the Phillies' active roster Saturday after just under a three-week stint at Lehigh Valley, taking Alan Rangel's spot in the bullpen. In 11.2 innings with Lehigh Valley, Robert has a 3.14 ERA and a 16:2 K:BB.

Thomas is scheduled for season-ending elbow surgery July 16, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Thomas landed on the IL in early April due to a left elbow injury, but he was able to begin a rehab assignment in late May. However, the lefty reliever suffered a setback after his first rehab appearance and is now set to go under the knife, which will end his 2025 campaign. Thomas got into two games with the Brewers this season in his initial MLB cup of coffee, allowing 12 runs with a 5:2 K:BB over 5.1 innings.

The Diamondbacks selected Curtiss's contract from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

Curtiss signed a minor-league deal with Arizona in February and has posted a 6.34 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB over 32.2 innings with Reno this season. While those numbers are poor, the righty has been better of late, tossing 3.2 scoreless frames over his past three outings. To make room for Curtiss on the 26-man and 40-man rosters, the Diamondbacks designated fellow reliever Tayler Scott for assignment.
