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.

Clase struck out one batter in a perfect inning and earned a save over the Rays on Sunday.

Clase needed only 12 pitches (nine strikes) to roll through the Rays for his 45th save of the year. The star closer has converted 32 consecutive save chances dating back to May 20. Clase has been remarkably consistent this season, posting a 0.66 ERA with a 61:8 K:BB through 68.1 frames.

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.

Holton worked around a hit and a walk to toss 1.1 scoreless innings of relief and earn a hold in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Orioles. He struck out one.

Holton has been generating fantasy value in multiple ways recently. The lefty earned a win in relief Wednesday, picked up a save on Friday and then recorded his 13th hold of the season Sunday, as he entered in the sixth inning to face the heart of Baltimore's lineup in a close game. Holton lowered his ERA to a stellar 2.17 in the process, and he should continue to be a valuable bullpen weapon for the Tigers.

Basso is listed as the Athletics' scheduled starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Basso will make another turn through the rotation after he was summoned from Triple-A Las Vegas this past week to replace injured starter Osvaldo Bido (wrist). Through his first two MLB starts, Basso has struck out eight while allowing 10 baserunners over 11.1 scoreless innings, though his outings came against two of MLB's weaker offenses in the Tigers and White Sox. The road matchup with the Cubs will represent the 26-year-old lefty's toughest test to date.

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 Rangers recalled Garabito from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Garabito was optioned to Triple-A on Saturday, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the Rangers one day later after Jose Urena (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. The 29-year-old right-hander will join righty Jack Leiter as a multi-inning option out of the Texas bullpen.
