Luke Weaver RP | PIT
Yankees' Luke Weaver: Escapes with save
Weaver picked up the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over Colorado, allowing one run on three hits with no strikeouts over one inning.
The Yankees had a two-run lead entering the bottom of the ninth, but Weaver nearly didn't make it out of the frame with the save. He allowed a solo homer to Mickey Moniak to begin the inning and had runners on first and second with one out before retiring Ezequiel Tovar and Hunter Goodman to end the game. Weaver hadn't allowed an earned run in his previous eight appearances, and he's now converted seven of his eight save chances.

Mason Miller RP | SD
Athletics' Mason Miller: Notches 12th save
Miller picked up the save Sunday against Philadelphia, allowing one hit with one strikeout over a scoreless ninth inning.
It was a get-right game for Miller, who had allowed 11 runs (10 earned) over his last six appearances and blew his last save opportunity. He gave up an infield single with two outs to Alec Bohm, but Bohm's pinch runner, Johan Rojas, got caught stealing to end the game. Miller owns a 5.79 ERA in 18.2 innings this season and has already blown two saves after blowing just three of his 31 save chances in 2024.

Trevor Megill RP | MIL
Brewers' Trevor Megill: Notches ninth save
Megill allowed a hit and no walks while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Sunday in Pittsburgh.
The veteran right-hander has successfully converted his past seven save chances and has given up just one earned run across his last 12.2 innings. The last week has been especially busy for Megill, as he's recorded four saves since May 18. After having some trouble with walks early in the year, Megill has issued just two free passes in his past nine outings.

Reed Garrett RP | NYM
Mets' Reed Garrett: Secures first save
Garrett collected the save in Sunday's 3-1 win against the Dodgers, allowing one hit and no walks over a scoreless inning. He struck out two.
After regular Mets closer Edwin Diaz pitched in back-to-back games Friday and Saturday, Garrett was called upon to convert his fifth career save. The 32-year-old showed no unsteadiness in working around a single to wrap the win easily on 15 pitches. Garrett was only filling in for Diaz, but given that he has been dependable with a 0.82 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB across 22 innings, he could enter the picture for saves in Queens if anything happens to Diaz.

Phil Maton RP | CHC
Cardinals' Phil Maton: Picks up second save
Maton allowed a hit and struck out two batters during a scoreless inning to earn a save against the Diamondbacks on Sunday.
Maton also hit a batter but was able to protect the 4-3 lead. He's now converted two of his three save chances this year and picked up his first since April 9. Overall, Maton has been successful this season; he's registered a 2.84 ERA across 19 innings and all six runs he's allowed so far came during two appearances. Ryan Helsley did not appear in the game after pitching Friday and Saturday.

Robert Suarez RP | ATL
Padres' Robert Suarez: Collects 17th save
Suarez earned the save in Sunday's 5-3 win at Atlanta, pitching a clean inning with no strikeouts.
The right-handed closer succinctly wrapped the game on nine pitches, seven of which were strikes, to tally his NL-leading 17th save. After allowing five runs in a blown save May 14, Suarez has gotten back on track with four consecutive outings without allowing an earned run. Across 22 total innings, the 34-year-old has pitched to a 2.45 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 22:8 K:BB while going 16-for-18 on save opportunities.

Ronny Henriquez RP | MIA
Marlins' Ronny Henriquez: Converts first save
Henriquez earned the save in Sunday's 3-0 win against the Angels, striking out two in a clean inning.
The 24-year-old right-hander required only 10 pitches to secure the first save of his career. After picking up the win in Saturday's contest against the Angels, Henriquez looks to have entered the picture for high-leverage work at the back of the Miami bullpen along with Anthony Bender, Calvin Faucher and Jesus Tinoco. Henriquez has pitched to a 1.78 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 35:13 K:BB across 25.1 innings this season.

Drew Pomeranz RP | CHC
Cubs' Drew Pomeranz: Earns second win
Pomeranz (2-0) tossed a scoreless inning of relief with two strikeouts to earn the win in Sunday's 11-8 victory over the Reds.
Pomeranz made quick work of the Reds in the bottom of the seventh inning, then earned his second win of the season when the Cubs scored four times in the top of the eighth. The veteran righty has been good for Chicago, as he's yet to allow an earned run across 12.1 innings this year, and he's racked up 14 strikeouts as well. Pomeranz also has a save to his name, and he's quickly earning trust as a high-leverage member of the Cubs' bullpen.

Ryne Nelson SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Ryne Nelson: Confirmed for another start
Nelson is slated to start Monday's game against the Pirates at Chase Field.
Eduardo Rodriguez (shoulder) has resumed throwing but isn't eligible to return from the 15-day injured list until next weekend, so Nelson will make a second straight turn through the Arizona rotation in his place. In his most recent start this past Tuesday, Nelson took a no-decision despite limiting a tough Dodgers lineup to one run on three hits and one walk. A home matchup with the 19-35 Pirates represents a more favorable spot for Nelson to claim his second win of the season.

Jose Cuas RP | KC
Braves' Jose Cuas: Signs minor-league deal with ATL
Cuas signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Sunday.
Cuas was let go by the Phillies' organization in early May after spending the first month of the year with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The relief pitcher allowed eight runs on eight hits and five walks while striking out four over 5.1 innings in seven appearances before being let go. Cuas will now look to get back on track with Triple-A Gwinnett.
