Ferguson allowed one run on two hits and one walk in the seventh inning Saturday against the Guardians. He struck out one.

Ferguson has now surrendered at least one run in four of his past six outings. The 29-year-old southpaw has certainly been inconsistent when called on from the Mariners' bullpen since joining the team in late July -- Ferguson has a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB through his first 12 innings for Seattle.

Palencia struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.

Palencia retired the side of 13 pitches (eight strikes) to come away with his 21st save of the year. He's had some ups and downs in August, allowing five runs over 10.1 innings, but he's gone 7-for-8 in save chances. However, he's also posted a 1-2 record for the month. On the year, Palencia has a 2.02 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 56:15 K:BB through 49 innings while serving mostly as the Cubs' primary closer.

Speier threw a clean eighth inning Saturday against the Guardians. He struck out one.

Speier's scoreless streak is now up to 5.1 innings, and he's given up just one run over 11 frames in the month of August. The 30-year-old left-hander has been an outstanding setup man in the Seattle bullpen for most of the year -- Speier owns a 2.20 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 34:6 K:BB across his last 28.2 frames (37 outings).

Leahy earned the save in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Reds, allowing two hits over 1.1 innings. He did not record a walk or a strikeout.

With JoJo Romero deployed in a one-run game in the seventh inning, it was Leahy who relieved him with two outs in the eighth and retired four hitters to secure his first save of the season. The 28-year-old has now delivered back-to-back scoreless outings after allowing at least one run in his previous five appearances. In addition in Saturday's save, he's tallied 16 holds and owns a 2.97 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 66:25 K:BB across 72.2 innings this season.

Morgan is slated to serve as the Padres' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against Minnesota, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Morgan will be making his second start of the season -- in his first appearance as an opener July 6 versus the Rangers, he gave up one run over 1.1 frames. The right-hander hasn't tossed more than two innings in any outing this season, so he likely won't be asked to record more than six outs Sunday. Kyle Hart is expected to be called up from Triple-A El Paso to work in bulk relief behind Morgan.

Chapman and the Red Sox agreed Saturday to a one-year, $13.3 million contract extension with a vesting option for 2027, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.

Chapman has re-emerged as one of the most dominant closers in baseball this season, posting a 1.04 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 74:14 K:BB over 52 innings spanning 57 outings while racking up 26 saves in 28 chances. The 37-year-old joined Boston on a one-year contract last December and will now be with the club for at least one additional campaign. Romero relays that the option for 2027 is a vesting option based on innings pitched that will become a mutual option if it doesn't get triggered.

Phillips earned the save in Saturday's 11-8 win over the Mets. allowing one hit and one walk while recording one strikeout in the ninth inning.

With closer Calvin Faucher deployed earlier in the game, Phillips was summoned to protect a three-run lead in the ninth and did so on 15 pitches. The 27-year-old has now closed out two of his past three outings and owns a 1.96 ERA across 18.1 innings since the All-Star break. For the year, he's logged three saves and five holds alongside a 3.20 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 42:20 K:BB over 64.2 frames.

Baker struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his third save of the season in a 4-1 win over the Nationals.

Pete Fairbanks threw 22 pitches the night before and was presumably unavailable, but Griffin Jax handled the eighth inning after Mason Englert gave up Washington's only run, while Baker took care of the ninth. It was Baker's first save since being acquired by the Rays in early July, and after some initial struggles with his new team, he's posted a 1.50 ERA, 0.42 WHIP and 15:1 K:BB over 12 August innings.

Hoffman (8-6) took the loss Saturday, coughing up three runs on three hits and a walk in two-thirds of an inning as the Blue Jays were downed 4-1 by the Brewers.

Called in for the top of the ninth inning in a 1-1 tie, Hoffman instead served up back-to-back homers to Jackson Chourio and Christian Yelich before Isaac Collins added an RBI double. The long ball remains Hoffman's bugaboo this season -- he's been taken deep 14 times in 56.1 innings, leaving him with a 5.11 ERA, and he's given up two homers twice in his last three appearances.

Uribe gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his fourth save of the season in a 4-1 win over the Blue Jays.

The Brewers broke open a 1-1 tie in the top of the ninth, and Uribe closed things out in the bottom of the frame on 13 pitches (seven strikes). The right-hander has converted two straight save chances since Trevor Megill (elbow) landed on the IL, but with Milwaukee's regular closer expressing optimism that he'll be able to return when first eligible Sept. 9, Uribe's stint as the team's top save option may not last too long. He's been outstanding in any role, not allowing an earned run in 19 innings since the All-Star break with a 0.95 WHIP and 19:7 K:BB.
