Tanner Scott RP | LAD
Dodgers' Tanner Scott: Converts 21st save
Scott allowed one hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Monday's 3-1 win over the Rockies.
Scott's been in a rough patch lately, allowing four runs over his last 1.2 innings while taking a loss and two blown saves in that span. Despite the struggles, manager Dave Roberts looks to be sticking by his closer, who was able to get the job done Monday for his 21st save in 30 chances this season. Scott is at a 4.47 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 52:12 K:BB over 50.1 innings on the year, and he remains in control of the closer role, though he could face a threat to his save share when Alex Vesia (oblique) returns Tuesday.

Diamondbacks' Nabil Crismatt: Ineffective versus Giants
Crismatt allowed four runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over four innings in a no-decision versus the Giants on Monday.
Crismatt gave up multiple home runs in an appearance for the first time this season. He was limited to 50 pitches (34 strikes) in this ineffective start. The right-hander has posted a 3.24 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB through 25 innings over five outings (four starts). With Anthony DeSclafani back from a thumb injury, Crismatt can ill afford any further poor performances.

Raisel Iglesias RP | ATL
Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Notches 25th save
Iglesias picked up the save in Monday's 4-1 win over the Cubs, striking out one in a clean ninth inning.
Iglesias submitted his 25th save of the year in his fifth consecutive scoreless outing. The veteran right-hander has rewarded patient fantasy managers while experiencing quite the turnaround from an awful start to the season, which saw him post a 6.75 ERA as of June 5. Iglesias has a 1.51 ERA, 0.64 WHIP and 39:6 K:BB over his last 37 appearances to boost his ERA to 3.62 for the campaign.

Jacob Latz RP | TEX
Rangers' Jacob Latz: Quiets Brewers over 5.2 innings
Latz (2-0) notched the win Monday against the Brewers, allowing three hits and one walk in 5.2 shutout innings. He struck out four.
It was was perhaps Latz's finest effort as a starter so far this season, as it was his first scoreless start of the year. The left-hander has gone at least five innings in four of his six starts in 2025, and he's in line to remain in the rotation with Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) sidelined for the remainder of the regular season. Latz has a 2.91 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 66:32 K:BB across a career-high 74.1 frames. He's next slated for a tall task on the road against the Mets this weekend.

Jhoan Duran RP | PHI
Phillies' Jhoan Duran: Shaky in 28th save
Duran worked a scoreless frame, allowing two hits and no walks, to collect the save in Monday's 1-0 win against the Mets. He struck out two.
The flamethrowing righty escaped from a jam in which runners were on second and third with one out, fanning the final two batters he faced. Despite almost blowing this save, Duran has been one of the best relievers in the league since joining Philadelphia at the trade deadline, pitching to a 1.32 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 17:0 K:BB in 13.2 innings. Overall, the 27-year-old sports a 1.86 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 70:18 K:BB across 63 total frames with the Phillies and Twins.

Rays' Andrew Wantz: Returns from lengthy IL stint
Wantz (elbow) threw a scoreless inning and struck out one during Saturday's game against Triple-A Gwinnett.
Wantz was officially activated from the 60-day injured list Sept. 1 after recovering from right elbow surgery. He's looked sharp in three appearances since his return to Triple-A, firing three scoreless frames while registering two strikeouts and one walk.

Rodolfo Martinez RP | BAL
Orioles' Rodolfo Martinez: Cut loose by Orioles
Martinez (undisclosed) was released by Baltimore on Sept. 4.
Martinez appeared in 16 games at Triple-A Norfolk this season, recording a 4.96 ERA and 1.99 WHIP with 21 strikeouts across 16.1 innings. He missed a good chunk of the season while on the mend from an undisclosed injury and hadn't yet returned from a rehab assignment before being handed his release.

Brock Stewart RP | LAD
Dodgers' Brock Stewart: Throws bullpen session
Stewart (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Saturday and could face live hitters this week, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Stewart has been sidelined since Aug. 12 while dealing with right shoulder inflammation, and he has now taken a significant step in his recovery. The right-hander is hopeful that one rehab outing would be enough, and he said Monday that he has felt good since his second cortisone shot in late August.

Alex Vesia RP | LAD
Dodgers' Alex Vesia: Targeting Tuesday return
Vesia (oblique) expects to be activated from the 15-day injured list before Tuesday's game against the Rockies, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Vesia hasn't appeared in a big-league game since Aug. 21 while on the mend from a right oblique strain, but all has gone well while on a rehab assignment. He should immediately slot back in as a high-leverage arm for the Dodgers upon his return from the shelf.

Ethan Roberts RP | CHC
Cubs' Ethan Roberts: Moving up from Triple-A
The Cubs recalled Roberts from Triple-A Iowa on Monday.
Roberts will rejoin the Cubs and provide a fresh arm in the bullpen after Daniel Palencia (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Over 10 appearances with the big club this season, Roberts has posted a 6.00 ERA and 1.33 WHIP across nine innings.
