Colome struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Monday's 5-2 win over Cleveland.

The right-hander had an uneventful outing, needing just five pitches to protect a three-run lead. Colome has pitched six consecutive scoreless innings, notching five saves in that span. For the year, he's 12-for-18 in save chances with a 4.02 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 43:22 K:BB across 53.2 innings.

Yarbrough allowed seven runs on eight hits and two walks over two innings in Monday's win over Boston. He struck out one batter and did not factor in the decision.

Despite the dreadful outing, Yarbrough escaped without the loss after the Rays' impressive comeback. Nearly all the damage against him came in the second frame where he allowed six runs, including three RBI doubles. The 29-year-old southpaw had allowed just four runs over 15 innings (2.40 ERA) in his previous three starts. Yarbrough will carry a 4.90 ERA into his projected start in Toronto next week.

Wilson allowed three runs on six hits and two walks over six innings in Monday's win over the Tigers. He struck out four and did not factor in the decision.

Wilson was terrific to start the game, yielding just three hits and a walk through five shutout innings. He ran into trouble in the sixth and coughed up three runs, including a two-run double by Niko Goodrum. It was his second time completing six innings as a Pirate and he lowered his ERA slightly to 4.60 through 62.2 frames. Wilson is lined up to face the Nationals at home this weekend.

Sulser (4-4) took the loss Monday versus Kansas City. He allowed two runs on four hits with one strikeout in one inning.

The 31-year-old was responsible for Kansas City's two-run rally in the eighth inning that erased a narrow Baltimore lead. Sulser has allowed runs to score in four of his last seven outings, and he's taken a 1-2 record with a save and two blown saves in that span. For the year, he owns a 3.27 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 67:21 K:BB in 52.1 innings with six saves, three blown saves and three holds. Save chances have been rare in Baltimore this year, and Sulser's recent inconsistency adds another layer of risk for fantasy managers despite his solid season ratios.

Tapia (2-0) pitched 1.2 perfect innings, recording one strikeout and earning the win Monday versus Baltimore.

The 30-year-old relieved starter Kris Bubic with one out in the sixth inning and managed to keep Kansas City's deficit to one run. Tapia then picked up the win as the Royals pulled ahead in the eighth inning. He's strung together 5.1 scoreless innings across his last five appearances, allowing two hits and three walks with four strikeouts in that span. For the year, he has a 2.05 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 19:12 K:BB across 22 innings overall.

Bednar struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning and earned the save against Detroit on Monday.

Bednar threw 12-of-16 pitches for strikes and had no issue rolling through the Tigers in order to finish off the 6-3 victory. He's now riding a 10.1-inning scoreless streak with three saves since Aug. 15. Bednar is now sporting a 72:17 K:BB and a 2.22 ERA through 56.2 frames.

Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Friday that Harvey's (lat) return from the 60-day injured list isn't imminent, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports. "As of right now, he's going to stay and continue to pitch [at Triple-A Norfolk]," manager Brandon Hyde said. "We'll continue to evaluate whether we're going to bring him up or not."

Harvey is technically in the midst of a rehab assignment at Norfolk, but the Orioles apparently intend to activate him from the 10-day injured list and option him to the affiliate once his rehab window comes to a close Sept. 18. Though Harvey experienced some soreness in his strained right lat during an Aug. 24 appearance for Norfolk, he was cleared to rejoin the Triple-A bullpen a week later and was roughed up for four runs while recording only two outs. Harvey is believed to be healthy at this point, but he'll need to show improved form over an extended stretch at Triple-A before the Orioles entertain bringing him back to the big club.

Gsellman (lat) made the first appearance of his rehab assignment at Low-A St. Lucie on Sunday, recording two outs while allowing three runs on three hits.

Gsellman threw 12 of his 17 pitches for strikes in the rehab start, but that was about the only positive takeaway in his first outing in affiliated ball since June 19. Because he's been on the shelf for nearly three months with a right lat strain, Gsellman will likely require several more rehab appearances at multiple affiliates before the Mets bring him back from the 60-day injured list.

Yamamoto (shoulder) made his most recent rehab start at Low-A St. Lucie on Thursday, working four innings while striking out five and giving up a run on three hits and no walks.

Now four starts into his rehab assignment, Yamamoto has made his last three turns with St. Lucie after kicking off his minor-league stint in the rookie-level Florida Complex League. He's continuing to build back up for a starting role in case the Mets require an extra arm for the rotation later in September, but Yamamoto is more likely to slot into the bullpen if the big club suffers no further attrition to its pitching staff in the next week or two.

Lambert (elbow) made the fifth appearance of his rehab assignment at Double-A Hartford on Sunday, striking out five over 2.2 innings while allowing one run on one hit and no walks.

Lambert hit three batters during the start, so his control wasn't completely on point, despite the fact he didn't issue a walk. Even so, the outing was another encouraging one for Lambert, who is beginning to build up his pitch count as he works his way back from July 2020 Tommy John surgery. Lambert may not have enough time left this season to return from the 60-day injured list and fill a spot in the Colorado rotation, but he could fill a bullpen role for the big club over the final few weeks.
