Miller allowed a walk and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mets.

Miller allowed a run in a non-save situation Friday, but he was strong when he needed to be Saturday. Over his last nine appearances (9.1 innings), he has a 17:9 K:BB, though the recent lack of control has yet to lead to a blown save for him. He's converted all 18 of his save opportunities so far while pitching to a 1.01 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 51:12 K:BB through 26.2 innings. Considering Miller has pitched consecutive days, Jason Adam or Adrian Morejon may be called upon for a save chance if one comes up Sunday.

Agnos (0-1) allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out one over three innings to take the loss Saturday versus the Brewers.

Agnos threw 57 pitches (33 strikes) in his second start of the season. He gave up solo home runs to Brice Turang and David Hamilton. Over 40 innings through 17 appearances this season, Agnos has a 7.65 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 28:16 K:BB. The right-hander filled in as the Rockies' fifth starter following Tanner Gordon's (hip) move to the injured list, but it's unclear if Colorado will keep Agnos in a starting role moving forward. This spot in the rotation is set to come up again in a road series versus the Athletics next weekend.

Mayza allowed one hit and no walks in a scoreless inning of relief Saturday against the White Sox. He struck out one.

Although he hasn't seen much high-leverage work in 2026, Mayza has been effective out of Philadelphia's bullpen when called upon. The left-hander has a 3.49 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 27:7 K:BB across 28.1 innings, picking up a lone hold.

Zuber secured the save Saturday against the Rays, allowing no baserunners in one-third of an inning. He struck out one.

Closer Pete Fairbanks allowed a pair of runs to let the Rays right back into the game, but Zuber quickly extinguished the fire by fanning Junior Caminero for the final out. It's hard to envision Zuber, who saw his first career save chance Saturday, seeing consistent high-leverage work going forward. It was only his second major-league appearance of the year after Zuber opened the year with Triple-A Jacksonville.

Bachar didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Rays, throwing three clean innings. He struck out three.

Bachar gave the Marlins exactly what they desired during a bullpen game, firing three flawless frames as an opener. Through 34.1 innings, the 31-year-old right-hander has an impressive 3.15 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 38:11 K:BB with one hold. His next assignment is undetermined, and it's also unclear how Miami will be deploying Bachar going forward.

Lord secured the save Saturday against the Diamondbacks, throwing two clean innings. He struck out one.

Lord recorded his first career save Saturday, extending his scoreless streak to 8.1 innings in the process. The 26-year-old right-hander should remain a multi-inning weapon out of Washington's bullpen and continue to see high-leverage work, but he doesn't figure to see consistent save chances. Through 40.1 frames, Lord sports a 2.45 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 34:10 K:BB with five holds.

Iglesias secured the save Saturday against the Pirates, allowing no runs on one hit and no walks in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

That's now eight straight outings with a strikeout for Iglesias, who's been a lights-out closer for Atlanta when healthy in 2026. The veteran right-hander has rattled off 19 scoreless appearances through 20 outings on the year. Through 20.2 innings, Iglesias boasts a 0.87 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 24:4 K:BB while going a pristine 13-for-13 in save opportunities.

Manager Skip Schumaker said Curvelo exited Saturday's game against the Guardians with a left thigh injury, Matt Postins of SI.com reports.

Curvelo was struck on the inner thigh above the knee by a comebacker off the bat of Patrick Bailey in the top of the eighth inning and was immediately removed from the game after he fell to the ground following a bad throw to first base on the play. "He wasn't feeling really good," Schumaker said. It's unclear if Curvelo will need a stint on the injured list.

Lange gave up a hit and struck out three in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his third save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Twins.

Royals manager Matt Quatraro suggested earlier this week that he would be playing matchups in closing situations while Lucas Erceg worked through his struggles, but since then Lange has gotten three straight saves, with Saturday's coming when Kody Clemens, a left-handed power hitter, was leading off the ninth for the Twins and representing the tying run. Lange has been scored upon just once in his last 12 appearances, posting a 0.75 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB in 12 innings, and he appears to have seized the top spot in the Kansas City bullpen.

Taylor struck out three batters in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.

Taylor was summoned to protect a three-run lead in the ninth inning and struck out the side on 14 pitches to earn his second save of the year. Seranthony Dominguez appeared in the eighth inning Saturday and threw just 11 pitches, but the White Sox opted to go with Taylor, who hadn't pitched since Wednesday. The 24-year-old has been fantastic this season, posting a 1.93 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 50:9 K:BB with two saves and four holds across 32.2 innings.
