Kittredge tossed a scoreless ninth inning to record the save in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers.

Regular closer Daniel Palencia secured the save in the first game Tuesday, but the Cubs didn't use him for the nightcap, instead turning to Kittredge to protect a 4-1 lead. The veteran righty breezed through the top of the ninth inning on 10 pitches, giving him his second save in the last three days. Palencia is still the top option out of the Chicago bullpen, but it appears that Kittredge has earned some trust in late-game situations when needed.

Vest (6-2) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win in Tuesday's 1-0, 10-inning victory over the Astros. He allowed a hit and struck out one.

Vest successfully navigated the top of the ninth and 10th innings, then earned the win when Gleyber Torres ended the game on a walk-off walk. The veteran reliever came into the season with only nine career wins at the MLB level, and his previous high in a season was three. Vest also leads the Tigers with 18 saves, and he's struck out 61 batters across 55 innings this year to go along with a strong 2.45 ERA, giving him plenty of fantasy value across the board.

Iglesias picked up the save in Tuesday's 11-10 win over the White Sox, throwing a clean ninth inning with no strikeouts.

That's now 12 consecutive scoreless innings for Iglesias, who has successfully converted each of his nine save chances during that span. The veteran right-hander had briefly lost his grip on the closer job at one point amid a dismal start to the campaign -- he had a 6.75 ERA through June 5 -- but he's been well back on track for over two months now. Over his last 28.2 innings, Iglesias boasts a 1.57 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 32:4 K:BB.

Palencia recorded his 17th save of the season in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Brewers, giving up a hit and a walk while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

The right-hander hit triple digits on the radar gun with nine of his 17 pitches (11 strikes), but it was a 90.5 mph slider that got William Contreras to ground into a game-ending double play. Palencia has had a bumpy beginning to August, allowing runs in three of his six appearances while blowing one of four save chances, but his job as the Cubs' closer is in no jeopardy. On the season, Palencia sports a 1.81 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 47:12 K:BB through 44.2 innings.

Schreiber issued one walk in a scoreless inning and recorded a save against Texas on Tuesday.

Schreiber entered the game with a 5-2 lead and closed things out despite a two-out walk to Marcus Semien. Schreiber picked up his first save and extended his scoreless streak to 5.1 frames while dropping his season ERA to 3.24. Primary closer Carlos Estevez did not appear in Tuesday's win after pitching Sunday and Monday.

Duran picked up the save in Tuesday's 6-4 win over Seattle, throwing a clean ninth inning. He struck out one.

Duran has settled right into the closer role for the Phillies, having now successfully converted each of his first six save chances with his new club. Additionally, the hard-throwing right-hander has fired 5.2 scoreless innings to begin his tenure with Philadelphia. Duran did get some more bullpen competition Tuesday in the form of Jose Alvarado, though the former appears to be in no danger of losing his spot atop the hierarchy at the moment.

Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Bender (lower leg) will miss the remainder of the season, Stephen Strom of Marlins Radio Network reports.

Bender was placed on the 15-day IL earlier Tuesday due to a right tibial stress reaction. With his season over, Bender wraps up the 2025 campaign with a career-best 2.16 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 42:21 K:BB and four saves across 50 innings of work. Bender will be eligible for arbitration in the offseason, as Miami has two more years of player control.

Miller (elbow) won't throw for two weeks before being re-evaluated, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Miller underwent an MRI this week, which showed additional left elbow inflammation. The southpaw has been sidelined since early July after suffering a left elbow sprain, and he was nearing a return to the major-league roster after making four rehab appearances with Triple-A Sacramento, but he will now remain sidelined for the foreseeable future. At this point, Miller is unlikely to be activated from the 15-day injured list until mid-September at the earliest.

Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Loaisiga (back) was pulled off his rehab assignment and sent for medical testing after experiencing soreness in his right elbow/triceps, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander has been working his way back from right mid-back tightness and delivered a scoreless frame in his first rehab outing Sunday, but he's now dealing with an arm issue. Loaisiga missed most of the previous two seasons due to injuries and has been inconsistent when available in 2025 with a 4.25 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB over 29.2 innings.

The Cubs optioned Cosgrove to Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

The left-hander was called up ahead of Game 1 of Tuesday's doubleheader and will return to the minors after not appearing in the matinee. Cosgrove has made just two appearances in the majors this season and has a 4.66 ERA across 38.2 relief innings at Triple-A.
