Hader recorded his sixth save of the season in Saturday's 8-6 win over the Mets, striking out five batters in two perfect innings.

The southpaw had uncharacteristically served up homers in three straight appearances prior to Saturday, but Hader was back in dominant form in this one. The recent hiccups have led to a 3.21 ERA, but his 29:4 K:BB through 14 innings indicates there's little to worry about with the Brewers' relief ace.

Neris notched the save by allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning during Saturday's 12-9 win over the Marlins. He struck out two and walked one.

Neris took a loss in his last outing by giving up two runs on four hits but came through in the ninth inning for the Phillies on Saturday. The 29-year-old has a 2.92 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB through 12.1 innings and remains the lone reliever on the team with multiple saves. He's a perfect 4-for-4 in save chances.

Wilson (elbow) resumed throwing Saturday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Wilson threw off flat ground without issues but has yet to get back on a mound. He's eligible to return Tuesday and is expected to spend just a short time on the injured list, but he could need at least a few days more than the minimum.

Hicks struck out one and allowed no hits in a scoreless inning Saturday, earning the save in a 6-3 win over the Reds.

Hicks has been absolutely dominant in April, permitting just one run in his last 10 appearances, covering 10 innings. The 22-year-old has converted all eight of his saves during that span. He owns a 2.38 ERA, a 0.97 WHIP, and has a 14:5 K:BB.

Hudson (2-1) struck out one and was credited with the win in the Cardinals' 6-3 victory over the Reds on Saturday after giving up three runs on seven hits and one walk over 5.2 innings.

Hudson allowed two third-inning runs on RBI singles to Jose Peraza and Eugenio Suarez and later was nicked for a sixth-inning run on a Derek Dietrich sacrifice fly. The 24-year-old has won his last two starts despite giving up six runs over 10.2 innings. Hudson has a 5.63 ERA and a 1.92 WHIP for the season and is next slated to face the Nationals on the road Thursday.

Biddle was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right thigh contusion and right groin strain Saturday.

Biddle's solid 3.18 season ERA doesn't line up with his 2.03 WHIP or his 11:9 K:BB. It's unclear how much time he's expected to miss. Shane Carle was recalled in a corresponding move.

Wilson was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

Wilson made just one relief appearance in his latest stint with the Braves, striking out one over one scoreless inning. Mike Foltynewicz (elbow) was reinstated from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Andriese allowed three hits and one walk while striking out three over three innings to earn his first save in Friday's 8-3 win over the Cubs.

Andriese, a former starter, has been filling a long-relief role for the Diamondbacks. Seven of his nine appearances have lasted at least two innings. The right-hander is 3-0 with an 18:8 K:BB over 16.2 innings.

Yates struck out the side but also allowed three baserunners while recording his 13th save of the season in a 4-3 victory against the Nationals on Friday.

The 32-year-old's struggle with control made things interesting in the ninth. Yates threw only 13 strikes out of 28 pitches. After striking out the first two batters, Yan Gomes singled, and then Yates walked the next two batters. He recorded one more strikeout, though, to end the game. Close calls like these have been rare for the 32-year-old in 2019. He is 13-for-13 in save opportunities with a 0.60 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 23 strikeouts in 15 innings this season.

Straham allowed two runs on four hits with eight strikeouts and no walks across six innings in a no-decision against the Nationals on Friday.

The 27-year-old again settled for a no-decision despite another very strong start. That's become all too common for Straham unfortunately, who is 0-1 with three no-decisions in his last four outings despite posting a 1.50 ERA since a rough first start of the season. He is 0-2 with a 3.04 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 21 strikeouts in 26.2 innings this year. His next start will be on the road against the Braves on Wednesday.
