Barlow walked one and struck out four over 1.1 scoreless and hitless innings to earn the save in Monday's 4-1 win over the Angels.

The Reds were a bit thin in the bullpen Monday, as all of Emilio Pagan, Tony Santillan and Graham Ashcraft had pitched Saturday and Sunday. Barlow stepped up for the four-out save, throwing 14 of 25 pitches for strikes. While this was his first save of 2025, Barlow had earned 58 saves from 2019-2024. He's added 13 holds and a blown save while pitching to a 3.54 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 61:34 K:BB across 56 innings. He's not the top option for ancillary saves, but Barlow remains part of the Reds' high-leverage mix.

Rodriguez allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Monday's 4-3 win over the Padres.

Rodriguez has been a little shaky since taking over closing duties at the tail end of July. He's allowed five runs in six innings while converting just three of five save chances and taking three losses over his last six appearances. Despite the recent struggles, Rodriguez is still boasting strong season-long numbers with a 1.63 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 66:11 K:BB over 49.2 innings. He's up to four saves as well as 13 holds in 49 appearances.

Santana collected the save in Monday's 5-2 win versus Toronto, striking out one in a clean inning.

The Pirates closer required only eight pitches, six of which were strikes, to pick up his second save of the month. Santana appears to have settled in since his last blown save Aug. 6 against San Francisco, as he's now logged four consecutive scoreless appearances. Across 53.1 total frames, the 29-year-old has pitched to a 2.36 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 42:11 K:BB while going 8-for-10 in save opportunities.

Kopech (knee) has tossed two rehab outings with Triple-A Oklahoma City, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three batters over 1.2 combined innings.

Kopech particularly struggled in his first rehab appearance with OKC on Aug. 14, as he gave up three runs and uncorked two wild pitches along with his two walks. Though the veteran reliever was better two days later in his second outing -- he fanned two batters in a scoreless frame -- he issued another free pass and threw just 12 of 24 pitches for strikes. Kopech is on the 60-day IL and isn't eligible to be activated until Aug. 27, so he should have multiple more minor-league outings to try to straighten out his control and shake off lingering rust.

Little allowed an unearned run on a hit and two walks across two innings of relief in a 7-0 loss to the Brewers in the first game of Monday's doubleheader. He struck out four.

Making his first appearance in the majors since April 16, Little held his own and exhibited good swing-and-miss stuff. The big southpaw has struggled with command during his time with the Cubs, but if he can find the strike zone more consistently, he could emerge as a useful reliever due to his hard fastball from the left side. For now, Little figures to work in a low-leverage role while he's at the MLB level.

Hollowell allowed four runs on three hits and four walks across two innings of relief in a 7-0 loss to the Brewers in the first game of Monday's doubleheader. He struck out two.

Hollowell simply couldn't find the strike zone consistently, as he threw just 21 of his 45 pitches for strikes. The righty also uncorked a wild pitch in the rough outing as the Cubs let him take one on the chin to save bullpen arms for the second game Monday. Hollowell was called up to the majors earlier in the day to serve as the team's 27th man, and after the poor performance, he'll likely return to Triple-A Iowa in the near future.

The Giants activated Walker (personal) from the paternity list Monday.

Walker missed the Giants' weekend series against the Rays as he welcomed a new baby to the family, but he'll rejoin the club ahead of its series opener in San Diego on Monday. He'll fill a setup role out of the San Francisco bullpen.

The Phillies recalled Hoffman from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Hoffman was acquired from the Rangers in June and has collected a 5.00 ERA and 73:32 K:BB over 54 innings at the Triple-A level this season. The right-handed reliever will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game.

The Phillies optioned Lazar to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

Lazar pitched both of the previous two days and was knocked around for three runs over 1.1 innings in an appearance during Sunday's 11-9 win over the Nationals. He'll give up his spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen to Nolan Hoffman, who was recalled from Triple-A.

Antone (elbow) has tossed 2.2 scoreless innings across two rehab appearances with High-A Dayton.

Antone is recovering from a third Tommy John surgery and has made a total of only nine appearances at the major-league level since 2022. The odds are against him making it back to be a successful reliever for the Reds, but it's possible he'll receive consideration for a promotion during the stretch run if he's pitching well.
