Adam pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Atlanta.

Adam had gone three days without pitching, making him the fresh arm available after six relievers worked in Tuesday's contest. He's had a bit of a rough June, giving up six runs (including four homers) over 9.1 innings, but he was sharp Wednesday to lock down his second save this season. Adam has a 2.45 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB over 29.1 innings, and he also has 16 holds while working in a setup role. Mason Miller should be available to handle any save chances for this weekend's three-game series versus the Dodgers, which begins Friday.

Bednar secured the save Wednesday against the Tigers, allowing one hit and no walks in a scoreless ninth inning. He struck out one.

Detroit brought the possible tying run to the plate in the ninth inning, but Bednar shut down any potential rally by retiring Dillon Dingler for the game's final out. The 31-year-old right-hander had a 5.14 ERA for the season as of May 18, but a scoreless streak of 12 innings since then has brought his ERA down to 3.27. Bednar also has a 1.27 WHIP and 39:12 K:BB over 33 innings while successfully converting 16 of his 18 save opportunities.

Wells picked up a hold Wednesday against the Angels, allowing one hit and one walk in 1.1 scoreless relief innings. He struck out four.

Wells remains a strong source of holds in fantasy leagues that record them, collecting 10 on the season so far. The right-hander has been an effective multi-inning weapon out of Baltimore's bullpen in 2026, logging a 3.25 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 39:9 K:BB over 36 innings. His 27 appearances are already the most he's made in a season since his rookie campaign in 2021, though it's worth noting that he was working as a starter and/or injured for the past four seasons.

Drohan did not factor into the decision in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Reds, allowing five hits and three walks with five strikeouts over 4.1 scoreless innings.

Drohan kept the Reds off the board but labored throughout, generating just six whiffs on 98 pitches while failing to go deep enough to earn a potential win. He still managed his first scoreless outing since transitioning to a starting role June 1, holding opponents to three earned runs or fewer in four of five games during that stretch. He'll carry a 3.12 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 52:17 K:BB across 52 innings this season into a home rematch with the Reds next week.

Kuhnel earned the save in Wednesday's 6-5 win against the Reds, allowing one hit and two walks with no strikeouts over 1.1 scoreless innings.

With Trevor Megill and Abner Uribe both unavailable, Kuhnel was called upon to thwart a late comeback by the Reds. He recorded the final out of the eighth inning before escaping a bases-loaded jam in the ninth with a game-ending double play. The 31-year-old has now gone 2-for-3 in save chances for Milwaukee, though he's yielded runs in four of seven appearances with the club. For the year, he's collected six saves and five holds to go along with a 4.18 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB across 32.1 innings between the Athletics and Brewers.

Herget secured the save Wednesday against the Red Sox, throwing a clean ninth inning. He struck out two.

It didn't seem initially like the Rockies would have a save opportunity Wednesday, but Colorado turned a 6-3 deficit into an 8-6 advantage across the seventh and eighth innings. The rally opened the door for Herget to nail down his second save of the season, and it's worth noting the hurler worked behind Antonio Senzatela. Through 19.1 innings, Herget has a 4.19 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 23:5 K:BB with four holds.

Hader earned the save in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays, allowing no hits and one walk with two strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning.

Hader was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning and worked around a one-out walk to close things out. In 10 appearances since returning from the injured list June 3, the 32-year-old has converted all six of his save opportunities while posting a 0.90 ERA, 0.40 WHIP and 16:2 K:BB across 10 innings. After missing the first couple months of the season due to a bicep injury, Hader has quickly reminded everyone that he's one of the top closers in MLB.

Duran earned the save in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Nationals, striking out three in a perfect ninth inning.

It was another dominant ninth inning from Duran, as he struck out the side to lock down his 19th save this season. Since taking his first blown save on June 9, Duran's responded with five straight scoreless innings, logging 10 strikeouts in that span. His ERA is down to 1.69 through 26.2 innings this season with a 0.94 WHIP and 43:5 K:BB.

Legumina will serve as the Rays' opening pitcher Thursday against the Royals, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Legumina has given up two earned runs across his last two outings, but the Rays will trust him to handle the beginning of Thursday's series finale nonetheless. The 29-year-old was able to record five outs before being pulled during his last opening assignment, and he'll presumably remain in the game Thursday for a similar amount of time before turning the ball over to bulk reliever Ian Seymour.

Baker earned the save in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Royals, allowing a run on one hit while striking out two in the ninth inning.

Baker gave up a solo home run to Josh Rojas with one out in the ninth that cut Tampa Bay's lead to two, but the right-hander rebounded to set down the next two Royals and pick up his 20th save this season. The homer marked the first run that Baker has given up in his last 13 innings. He's been excellent overall this season, posting a 2.01 ERA with 0.89 WHIP and 35:11 K:BB across 31.1 innings.
