Finnegan earned the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Diamondbacks, allowing one run on one hit and one walk with no strikeouts in the ninth inning.

Finnegan entered with a 4-2 lead but yielded a run and managed only six strikes on 13 pitches. The game ended on a challenged caught-stealing call that was upheld after review, preserving the win. Despite the shaky outing, the 33-year-old has converted both of his save opportunities this season and has given up a run on two hits with a 2:3 K:BB over three innings.

Scott earned the save in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Phillies, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

Scott needed only three pitches to lock down his third save of the season. After giving up a leadoff single on his first offering, he quickly bounced back with a double play and a lineout to end the game. The southpaw owns a 4.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 4:0 K:BB across six innings, having received four of the Dodgers' six save opportunities so far in 2025.

Bivens (1-1) allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out one over two innings, earning the win in Friday's 10-9 extra-innings victory over the Mariners.

Bivens entered Friday's matchup in the 10th, allowing a walk but no runs. The 30-year-old began the 11th inning by inducing a groundout, but he gave up a line-drive single to center field and subsequently walked the next batter, loading the bases with one out, and the Mariners took a 9-8 lead after Bivens allowed the automatic runner to score on a wild pitch. The right-handed reliever picked up the win after Willy Adames' two-run, walk-off single that sealed the game in the 11th. Bivens has made three appearances this season, allowing three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three over 3.2 innings.

Trivino allowed a home run and an additional run on two hits and two walks while striking out one over one inning in Friday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Mariners.

Trivino entered Friday's matchup with a 5-3 lead in the fifth frame, allowing a walk before giving up a two-out, two-run shot to right field by Jorge Polanco. Additionally, Trivino gave up a single and walked another batter, finishing with 17 strikes on 30 pitches. The 33-year-old struggled Friday, though he was perfect in his first two relief appearances, striking out one and recording a hold over two innings.

Doval was charged with three unearned runs on three hits while striking out one over one inning, picking up a blown save during Friday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Mariners.

Doval entered Friday's game with a 6-5 lead in the sixth frame and struck out the first batter he faced. The 27-year-old followed the strikeout by allowing two singles, with both runners stealing bases and later coming around to score. On the bright side, Doval escaped the inning with no earned runs. The right-handed reliever has made four appearances this season, recording a 0.00 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, 2:0 K:BB and two saves across four frames.

Miller retired all three batters faced in a scoreless seventh inning to earn a hold in Friday's 6-4 win over the Nationals.

Miller logged his first hold of the season. He entered after the Diamondbacks took a two-run lead in the top of the seventh. This was Miller's first high-leverage outing and might not be the last given how well he's performed. Over five innings this season, the right-hander has yet to allow a run or a hit while striking out five with one walk.

Megill gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his first save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Reds.

Getting his first save chance of 2025, Megill looked amped up when he struck out Gavin Lux, the first batter he faced, on three pitches. With Devin Williams now a Yankee, Megill is set to be the main man in the Brewers' bullpen -- a role in which he amassed 21 saves last season while the Airbender was sidelined with back trouble. Through his first 3.1 innings this year, Megill has a 0.00 ERA and 6:0 K:BB.

Alexander (1-0) collected the win Friday, walking three and striking out six over 5.2 scoreless, no-hit innings in a 3-2 victory over the Reds.

Pressed into starting duty for Milwaukee's injury-ravaged pitching staff, Alexander baffled Cincinnati hitters over 83 pitches (50 strikes) as he fell just shy of recording his first quality start since May 17 of last season. The veteran lefty likely earned himself another turn or two through the rotation with this performance, but his reward for Friday's effort is that he lines up for a road outing at Coors Field next week. Through nine innings to begin the season, Alexander sports a 2.00 ERA and 9:5 K:BB.

Martinez earned the save after throwing a scoreless ninth inning on one hit Friday against the Nationals. He struck out one.

It was the first save of the season for Martinez, who is now up to 3.2 scoreless frames to open the campaign. The hard-throwing right-hander has split time between the eighth and ninth innings over his four appearances, so it appears manager Torey Lovullo prefers to mix and match his closers based on the matchups. The Arizona closing situation has been something close to an even split for ninth-inning work thus far, with A.J. Puk seeing similar usage to Martinez across his four appearances.

Romano picked up the save after allowing two runs on two hits and two walks in the ninth inning Friday against the Dodgers. He struck out two.

After walking Mookie Betts and watching him steal second, Romano served up a two-run homer to Tommy Edman to allow Los Angeles to make it a one-run game. Romano later got a pinch-hitting Max Muncy to chase a high fastball, and J.T. Realmuto caught Chris Taylor stealing to end the game and help the right-hander escape from trouble. Romano seems to be behind Jose Alvarado for saves in the Philadelphia bullpen, and he's given up four runs in four innings to begin the season.
