Miles is slated to start Sunday's game against the Rangers in Arlington, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Miles will pick up his eighth start of the season, but he hasn't covered more than two innings in any appearance since the beginning of August and is unlikely to work more than once through the batting order. Spencer Arrighetti will be available to pitch on four days' rest and could be called upon to cover multiple frames once Miles exits the contest, per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca.

Dion earned his first career save after retiring the only batter he faced in Saturday's 8-5 extra-innings win over the Cardinals.

Dion inherited a bases-loaded jam with two outs in the bottom of the 11th and needed just two pitches to get the job done, retiring Leo Bernal on a flyout to right field to secure the win. This was Dion's first major-league save, although he hasn't been the Nationals' most reliable reliever lately, giving up multiple earned runs in three of his last seven appearances dating back to Aug. 26. Still, he owns a 3.92 ERA with a 1.06 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB in 20.2 innings over his last 10 outings.

Cornelio (3-2) earned the win in extra innings against the Cardinals on Saturday after allowing two unearned runs on three hits and a walk while striking out two over 1.2 innings.

Cornelio entered the game in the 10th inning and allowed the automatic runner to score on Masyn Winn's game-tying single. He returned in the 11th with a four-run cushion but again allowed the automatic runner to score, this time on a JJ Wetherholt single. Cornelio loaded the bases with no outs, then struck out Ivan Herrera and Jordan Walker before making way for Will Dion, who recorded the final out and earned the save. Since returning to the majors as part of September roster expansion. Cornelio has a 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB in 12 innings over five appearances.

Tolman was charged with a blown save after allowing one run on three hits while striking out one over one-third of an inning in Saturday's 8-5 extra-innings win over the Cardinals.

Tolman entered the ninth with Washington protecting a 3-2 lead but couldn't close it out. Nathan Church opened the inning with a double before Pedro Pages singled him home to tie the game, and Tolman departed after allowing another single to Jose Fermin. The left-hander was ultimately charged with his second blown save of the season, though Washington recovered to win in 11 innings. This was the fourth time Tolman has given up runs in his 11 big-league outings in 2026. He has a 3.09 ERA with a 12:5 K:BB in 11.2 innings.

Miller allowed one run on one hit and struck out four without walking a batter over 1.2 innings, taking a blown save in Saturday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Marlins.

Miller worked out of a problem created by Adrian Morejon in the eighth inning, but Griffin Conine took the Padres' closer deep for a game-tying solo shot during the ninth. After a blown save to end August, Miller had converted all five of his save chances in September prior to Saturday, which was his first appearance in five days. He's still at an elite 1.23 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 123:23 K:BB through 66 innings while converting 37 of 40 save chances this year.

Baker (4-2) picked up the win in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Red Sox, giving up two hits in a scoreless ninth inning. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.

The right-hander still leads the majors with 40 saves, but Baker has been the pitcher of record during the Rays' recent spate of walk-off victories as well -- three of his four wins on the season have come in his last four appearances. Through 60.1 innings, Baker's delivered a 1.49 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 62:21 K:BB in a breakout campaign.

Montgomery earned the save in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Royals, allowing no hits and one walk with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

Montgomery was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning and worked around a leadoff walk to close things out. It continues a ridiculous second half for the 26-year-old, who's yielded just two earned runs in 28 appearances while converting all 14 of his save opportunities since the All-Star break. On the season, he has 15 saves and nine holds to go along with a 2.63 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 98:26 K:BB across 65 innings.

Bello didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Rays, allowing one run on five hits over eight innings. He struck out 11 without walking a batter.

The right-hander did everything he could to try and help Boston clinch a playoff spot, tying his career high with 11 Ks while firing 65 of 93 pitches for strikes. Bello has been impressive since returning to the big-league staff just before the All-Star break, as he's delivered a 2.28 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 46:11 K:BB over his last 51.1 innings and 13 appearances (two starts). He lines up to make one more appearance in the regular season, at home next weekend against the Cubs, and another strong showing could earn Bello a prominent spot in the Red Sox's postseason plans.

Iglesias struck out one in a clean ninth inning to earn the save Saturday against Houston.

Iglesias submitted his third consecutive perfect outing Saturday. The veteran closer has given up just one earned run in his last 12 appearances, converting all nine of his save opportunities over that span. On the season, he sports a 2.64 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 61:17 K:BB with 34 saves (37 chances) across 58 frames.

Rolison retired the only batter he faced in the ninth inning to earn the save in Saturday's 5-2 over the Reds. He did not record a strikeout.

Rolison was summoned to face lefty JJ Bleday with a runner on first and two outs and got him to pop out to end the contest. The 29-year-old southpaw has now held opponents scoreless in seven of his past eight appearances, and he's converted both of his two save chances during that stretch. On the year, he's tallied three saves and seven holds to go along with a 2.97 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 51:27 K:BB across 60.2 innings.
