Zach Agnos RP | COL
Rockies' Zach Agnos: Takes loss Saturday
Agnos (0-1) allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out one over three innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Brewers.
Agnos threw 57 pitches (33 strikes) in his second start of the season. He gave up solo home runs to Brice Turang and David Hamilton. Over 40 innings through 17 appearances this season, Agnos has a 7.65 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 28:16 K:BB. The right-hander filled in as the Rockies' fifth starter following Tanner Gordon's (hip) move to the injured list, but it's unclear if Colorado will keep Agnos in a starting role moving forward. This spot in the rotation is set to come up again in a road series versus the Athletics next weekend.

Tim Mayza RP | PHI
Phillies' Tim Mayza: Solid campaign continues
Mayza allowed one hit and no walks in a scoreless inning of relief Saturday against the White Sox. He struck out one.
Although he hasn't seen much high-leverage work in 2026, Mayza has been effective out of Philadelphia's bullpen when called upon. The left-hander has a 3.49 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 27:7 K:BB across 28.1 innings, picking up a lone hold.

Tyler Zuber RP | MIA
Marlins' Tyler Zuber: Puts out fire for first save
Zuber secured the save Saturday against the Rays, allowing no baserunners in one-third of an inning. He struck out one.
Closer Pete Fairbanks allowed a pair of runs to let the Rays right back into the game, but Zuber quickly extinguished the fire by fanning Junior Caminero for the final out. It's hard to envision Zuber, who saw his first career save chance Saturday, seeing consistent high-leverage work going forward. It was only his second major-league appearance of the year after Zuber opened the year with Triple-A Jacksonville.

Lake Bachar RP | MIA
Marlins' Lake Bachar: Perfect as opener Saturday
Bachar didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Rays, throwing three clean innings. He struck out three.
Bachar gave the Marlins exactly what they desired during a bullpen game, firing three flawless frames as an opener. Through 34.1 innings, the 31-year-old right-hander has an impressive 3.15 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB with one hold. His next assignment is undetermined, and it's also unclear how Miami will be deploying Bachar going forward.

Brad Lord RP | WAS
Nationals' Brad Lord: Slams door for six-out save
Lord secured the save Saturday against the Diamondbacks, throwing two clean innings. He struck out one.
Lord recorded his first career save Saturday, extending his scoreless streak to 8.1 innings in the process. The 26-year-old right-hander should remain a multi-inning weapon out of Washington's bullpen and continue to see high-leverage work, but he doesn't figure to see consistent save chances. Through 40.1 frames, Lord sports a 2.45 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 34:10 K:BB with five holds.

Raisel Iglesias RP | ATL
Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Shuts door for 13th save
Iglesias secured the save Saturday against the Pirates, allowing no runs on one hit and no walks in the ninth inning. He struck out one.
That's now eight straight outings with a strikeout for Iglesias, who's been a lights-out closer for Atlanta when healthy in 2026. The veteran right-hander has rattled off 19 scoreless appearances through 20 outings on the year. Through 20.2 innings, Iglesias boasts a 0.87 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 24:4 K:BB while going a pristine 13-for-13 in save opportunities.

Brian Fitzpatrick RP | MIL
Brewers' Brian Fitzpatrick: Diagnosed with UCL injury
Fitzpatrick (elbow) has been diagnosed with a left UCL strain and will get a second opinion to determine if he needs Tommy John surgery, MLB.com reports.
Fitzpatrick was removed from Friday's game against the Rockies after he appeared to suffer the elbow injury while warming up for the seventh inning. The rookie left-hander has appeared in five games out of Milwaukee's bullpen this season, allowing two runs (one earned) on seven hits and three walks with five strikeouts across 6.2 innings. Fitzpatrick is now looking at an extended absence after being placed on the 15-day injured list earlier Saturday.

Riley Cornelio RP | WAS
Nationals' Riley Cornelio: Back with Washington
The Nationals are expected to recall Cornelio from Triple-A Rochester on Sunday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Athletic reports.
Cornelio will make his way back up to the big-league club ahead of Sunday's series finale versus the Diamondbacks after being demoted to Rochester on April 24. The 26-year-old has posted a 4.87 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 64:26 K:BB in 44.1 innings at the Triple-A level this season.

Joel Kuhnel RP | MIL
Brewers' Joel Kuhnel: Traded to Milwaukee
The Athletics traded Kuhnel to Milwaukee in exchange for cash considerations on Saturday.
After being designated for assignment Friday, the Athletics decided to trade Kuhnel to Milwaukee. The 31-year-old imploded in his last appearance, allowing four earned runs on five hits in just two-thirds of an inning and took the loss after blowing a three-run lead in the bottom of the ninth. On the season, the right-hander has recorded a 4.21 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB in 25.2 innings.

Cole Henry RP | WAS
Nationals' Cole Henry: Sent back to Triple-A
The Nationals optioned Henry to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday.
Despite tossing two scoreless innings in Friday's 14-1 win over the Diamondbacks, Henry is still carrying a 6.00 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB across 12 frames this season. Washington has yet to announce a replacement for Henry on the 26-man active roster, but the team could look to bring a fresh relief arm aboard ahead of Sunday's series finale.
