Bednar recorded his 20th save of the season in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks, giving up one run on two hits and one walk over one inning. He struck out two.

Entrusted with a 4-1 lead in the ninth inning, Bednar fanned the first two batters he faced before a Geraldo Perdomo double kicked off an Arizona rally that saw Alek Thomas come to the plate as the potential winning run, only to fly out. Bednar has been charged with a run in five of his last 10 appearances, but he's still converted all seven of his save chances during that stretch -- in fact, the right-hander hasn't blown a save since April 9.

Pagan (lat) struck out one over one scoreless inning in his rehab appearance for Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.

Pagan kicked off a rehab assignment Saturday and is expected to make three to five more appearances in the minors before being activated. He landed on the 15-day injured list in June then was transferred to the 60-day IL a few weeks later. Pagan is eligible to be activated Aug. 8.

Sewald walked one and struck out one over a scoreless inning in Saturday's 4-2 loss to Pittsburgh.

Sewald made his first appearance since manager Torey Lovullo removed him from the closer's role. He did a slightly better job of finding the strike zone -- eight of 15 pitches for strikes -- after throwing just nine strikes over 24 offerings Wednesday. It was that appearance which triggered the decision to strip him of the title as Arizona's closer. As Lovullo explained it, Sewald had a mechanical issue that impacted his ability to throw strikes, which suggests he could regain ninth-inning duties if he's able to correct the problem.

Neris (8-4) allowed one run on one hit across an inning of work to take the loss Saturday against the Cardinals.

Tasked with keeping the game 4-4 in the top of the ninth inning, Neris allowed a leadoff triple to Tommy Pham followed by a sacrifice fly to quickly give St. Louis the lead. For Neris, it was just the second time he's allowed a run over his last 14 appearances, and he has a 1.35 ERA during that span. The veteran's recent strong play should keep him locked in as Chicago's regular closer despite Saturday's hiccup in a non-save situation.

Diaz earned a save against the Giants on Saturday, allowing one run on one hit over one inning.

Diaz entered in the ninth frame with Cincinnati holding a three-run lead and surrendered a solo homer to Matt Chapman on his third pitch. However, the closer rebounded to retire the next three batters and nail down the save. Diaz has converted each of his past 15 save chances and is 22-for-24 in save situations overall this season.

Romero (5-1) struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the win Saturday over the Cubs.

Kyle Gibson allowed four runs in a seven-inning start, but the Cardinals rallied late and Romero was the beneficiary. Over his last 13 outings, Romero has allowed just one run across 10.2 innings, though he has given up 11 hits and two walks in that span. The lefty setup man has a 2.38 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 39:9 K:BB with 27 holds through 45.1 innings this season, though he's also been on the hook for five blown saves.

Suarez struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Rockies.

This was the Padres' first save opportunity since the trade deadline. After six innings of one-run ball from starter Martin Perez, the team deployed Jason Adam in the seventh inning while the game was tied at 1-1. The Padres took the lead that frame, and Tanner Scott worked the eighth before Suarez handled the ninth on a crisp nine pitches. So far, it looks like Suarez will remain in the closer role, one in which he's excelled in for most of the year despite converting just three of five save chances in July. He's at a 1.44 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 43:8 K:BB while adding 24 saves in 27 chances through 43.2 innings.

Holmes allowed three runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out four over 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus Miami on Saturday.

Holmes was unable to replicate his previous outing in which he logged five innings of one-run ball. Jake Burger tagged him for a solo home run and an RBI single, and Jesus Sanchez added an RBI double to tie the game in the fifth inning. This may have been Holmes' last turn through the rotation, as Atlanta will get Max Fried (forearm) back Sunday and will hope to see Reynaldo Lopez (forearm) return next week. For the season, Holmes has a 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 33:6 K:BB over 33 innings over 12 appearances (two starts).

Faucher allowed a hit and struck out two over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over Atlanta.

Faucher took a blown save and a loss after allowing three runs in an inning Friday, but he bounced back Saturday to collect his first save since 2022. Once again, Anthony Bender and Andrew Nardi pitched earlier in the game than Faucher. For the season, Faucher has a 3.46 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 46:21 K:BB over 41.2 innings while adding 11 holds. The 28-year-old right-hander's walk rate is not ideal for a high-leverage reliever, but it's likely a non-issue for a Marlins team that isn't expected to produce many save chances the rest of the way.

Finnegan earned the save against the Brewers on Saturday, allowing two hits and striking out one over 1.1 scoreless innings.

Finnegan was called upon to protect a 6-2 lead with two outs in the eighth inning and allowed two inherited runs to score before converting the four-out save on 18 pitches. The closer rebounded from a disastrous outing Monday to secure his sixth straight save attempt. He ranks third in the majors with 29 saves and owns a 3.38 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 45:14 K:BB across 45.1 innings.
