Roupp allowed two hits and two walks while striking out four over five scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Sunday.

Roupp has allowed two runs on seven hits and two walks over 10 innings across two starts since he joined the Giants' rotation. He was efficient Sunday, throwing 74 pitches (51 strikes) in this outing. He may continue to stretch out over the remainder of the campaign, which gives him a chance to be in the conversation for a rotation spot next year. Overall, Roupp has pitched to a 3.02 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 40:21 K:BB through 41.2 innings over 21 appearances this year.

Morejon allowed an unearned run over one inning without giving up a hit or a walk, earning the save in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning win over the Giants.

Regular closer Robert Suarez worked the ninth inning and took a blown save, but the Padres were able to gain the lead in the 10th. Morejon then closed things out, earning his second career save, both of which have come over his last 15 appearances. In that span, he's allowed seven runs (six earned) across 13.2 innings. The southpaw is at a 3.00 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 67:20 K:BB with 10 holds through 60 innings this year, emerging as an option for high-leverage work in a talented Padres bullpen.

Suarez (9-3) allowed a run on one hit over one inning, taking a blown save but earning the extra-inning win over the Giants on Sunday.

Suarez surrendered a game-tying home run to Heliot Ramos in the bottom of the ninth inning, but the Padres were able to regain the lead in the 10th. This was Suarez's fifth blown save of the campaign, two of which have come over his last three outings. He's now at a 2.59 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 54:14 K:BB with 32 saves across 59 innings as the Padres' closer this year. His recent slip-ups don't appear to be putting his role in danger yet.

Miller struck out two without allowing a baserunner over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Rockies.

Keegan Thompson pitched a perfect eighth inning but let three straight batters reach to begin the ninth. Miller then entered the game, allowing one inherited runner to score but successfully escaping the danger to earn his first career save. He likely got the save chance because Porter Hodge took a blown save in Saturday's contest. Miller has pitched to a 2.37 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 69:28 K:BB while adding 12 holds through through 57 innings this season between the Cubs and the Mariners.

Chapman picked up the save Sunday against Kansas City, striking out one during a perfect ninth inning.

Chapman has emerged as the Pirates' closer, and while he's gone five for six in save chances since Aug. 31, the 36-year-old has yielded six runs across 6.1 innings. Overall, Chapman has a 4.11 ERA with nine saves and a 5-5 record.

Diaz took the loss Sunday against the Phillies, allowing one run on two hits and no walks with two strikeouts across two-thirds of an inning.

Diaz took the mound in the ninth inning with the game tied 1-1 but couldn't push the game into extra innings. Nick Castellanos logged a one-out single and then stole second base on a strike three to Alec Bohm. J.T. Realmuto provided the game-winning hit with a single to center field. The outing snapped a scoreless inning streak of 7.1 frames for Diaz. The 30-year-old closer has 18 saves and a 3.74 ERA across 45.2 innings.

Oller (1-4) took the loss Sunday against Washington, allowing three runs on six hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out two.

Oller blanked the Nationals through three innings but surrendered four consecutive hits in the fourth frame as part of a two-run inning. Then, James Wood tagged Oller for a solo shot in the fifth. Oller has taken the loss in three consecutive starts, yielding 13 runs with a 10:10 K:BB across 15.1 innings. He's on track to face Atlanta next time out.

Ferrer picked up the save Sunday against Miami, allowing one run on two hits across one inning with no strikeouts.

Kyle Finnegan pitched in two straight games before Sunday's contest, resulting in Ferrer handling ninth-inning work. It was Ferrer's first save of the 2024 season, and he has a 3.65 ERA across 24.2 innings.

The Diamondbacks placed Sewald on the 15-day injured list Sunday with left neck discomfort.

The timing of Sewald's move to the IL means that he won't be eligible to return until the Diamondbacks' final series of the regular season, which begins Sept. 27. Even before the neck issue cropped up, Sewald's fantasy value had been on the downturn with Justin Martinez having started to build up security as the Diamondbacks' preferred closing option. Sewald didn't help his case for regaining the closer's gig after giving up at least one run in four of his last six appearances before landing on the IL.

The Diamondbacks designated Floro for assignment Sunday.

The right-hander was acquired from the Nationals at the summer trade deadline, but he struggled to a 9.37 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB over 16.1 innings with the Diamondbacks. Floro could elect to become a free agent if he passes through waivers unclaimed, but he won't be eligible for the playoffs with a new team.
