Triple-A Albuquerque reinstated Hollowell (undisclosed) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday.

Hollowell made his first appearance for Albuquerque since April 9 in Tuesday's 10-3 loss to El Paso, giving up one run on two hits while striking out two over an inning of relief. The 26-year-old right-hander, who possesses a spot on the Rockies' 40-man roster, was cleared to rejoin the Triple-A club after making two rehab appearances in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Finnegan (2-3) earned the win in Tuesday's 10-inning victory over the Tigers, striking out three over 1.1 scoreless innings.

Finnegan struck out Colt Keith for the final out in the ninth, stranding the winning run on second base, before the Nats took a 5-4 lead in the top of the 10th. The right-hander would then set Detroit down in order in the bottom half, stranding the free runner to close out his second win this season. The 32-year-old Finnegan has been superb this year, allowing just two earned runs in his last 25.2 innings. Overall, he sports a 1.65 ERA with a 0.84 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB while converting 18 of 20 save chances across 27.1 innings.

Beeks allowed one hit across 1.2 scoreless innings to earn a hold Tuesday against the Twins.

Beeks entered the game in the seventh inning with the Rockies hanging onto a two-run lead. He allowed only an infield single to turn in his third consecutive scoreless appearance. However, Beeks appears to have ceded the closer role to Tyler Kinley, as Kinley has picked up each of the last three saves for Colorado.

Holderman (2-0) allowed two hits but threw a scoreless eighth inning to earn the win Tuesday against the Cardinals.

Holderman entered in the eighth inning with the game scoreless. He allowed a pair of two-out singles but managed to escape with his fifth consecutive scoreless appearance. Holderman has pitched well across 22.2 innings this season, maintaining a 0.79 ERA and 0.93 WHIP while racking up 10 holds.

Suarez dropped to 1-1 on the season in Tuesday's 9-4 loss to the Diamondbacks, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out three over 2.2 innings.

Suarez made his first start of the season Tuesday and didn't make a particularly compelling case to earn additional turns through the rotation. He allowed a pair of runs in the second after giving up two triples and a single, and Randal Grichuk would tack on a two-run blast in the third to spell an early end to Suarez's night. The 26-year-old's 7.08 ERA on the season is the second-highest in all of baseball among pitchers who have pitched at least 30 innings, trailing only Kyle Hendricks (9.07). If Chase Silseth (elbow) is ready to return from the 60-day injured list the next time Suarez's turn comes up Sunday in San Francisco, the latter will presumably head back to the bullpen.

Adam allowed one hit and struck out two across a scoreless eighth inning Tuesday against the Cubs.

Adam began the season effectively but had an elevated walk rate after issuing 11 free passes across his first 23 innings. However, in his last five appearances, he's maintained a 6:0 K:BB while allowing only one earned run. Overall, Adam leads the team with 11 holds and has also chipped in three saves.

Pressly struck two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Giants.

Pressly was called upon to close the game with Josh Hader unavailable after working the previous two days. The 35-year-old got Patrick Bailey to fly out before recording back-to-back punchouts to seal the deal. He now has two saves in the last week, though Tuesday's outing also comes on the heels of a blown save Sunday. Despite holding a 5.19 ERA on the year, it seems as though Pressly still has the advantage over Bryan Abreu for save opportunities when Hader is unavailable to pitch.

Devenski (2-1) didn't allow a baserunner and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the win Tuesday against the Cubs.

Devenski entered the game with the Rays down 2-1 and retired the side on 14 pitches. He then managed to earn the win after Brandon Lowe delivered a three-run, walk-off home run in the bottom half of the frame. Devenski has pitched very well since returning from the injured list May 25, maintaining a 2.25 ERA with a 0.88 WHIP and an 8:4 K:BB across eight innings.

Clase gave up a run on two hits and struck out two in the ninth inning Tuesday to record his 20th save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Reds.

He made things interesting with two outs in the ninth, allowing an RBI single to Jonathan India and then plunking Blake Dunn to bring the winning run to the plate, but Clase got TJ Friedl to line out to Brayan Rocchio to end the threat. The right-hander has converted seven straight save chances, putting him one ahead of the Yankees' Clay Holmes for the AL lead in the category, and despite getting tagged for runs in each of his last two appearances, Clase sports a dazzling 0.84 ERA, 0.68 WHIP and 34:3 K:BB through 32.1 innings on the season.

Alvarado gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his 12th save of the season in a 4-1 win over the Red Sox.

The southpaw needed 20 pitches (13 strikes) to put away the BoSox, as he bounced back from his second blown save of the season Sunday. Since getting tagged for five earned runs Opening Day, Alvarado has emerged as the Phillies' primary closer -- he's posted a 1.91 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB through 28.1 innings, and his 12 saves are already a new career high.
