Jansen pitched the ninth inning of Saturday's 1-0 win against the Rockies, allowing a walk with one strikeout.

Jansen rebounded from three straight blown saves to lock down his first save since July 3, only allowing a two-out walk to Ryan McMahon. The three-time All-Star is tied for fourth in MLB in saves and lowered his ERA to 2.97.

Richards (4-0) struck three batters out while allowing a hit over an inning, earning the win over the Mets on Saturday.

Richards entered the fifth inning in a tie game with one out and runners on first and second base. He earned his first win with the Blue in his fifth appearance with his new team. Since joining Toronto, he's allowed just one run in 5.2 innings while striking out 11 batters. The 28-year-old owns a 3.38 ERA in and 52 strikeouts in 37.1 innings.

Chapman allowed one hit and one walk but struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Saturday against the Red Sox.

Chapman was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning. He made things interesting by surrendering a walk and double with two outs but managed to strike out Enrique Hernandez to earn his 18th save of the season. Though he struggled mightily in a three-appearance stretch in late June and into July, Chapman has now allowed only one earned run across his last six innings of work. He's also locked in each of the Yankees last two saves and appears to have a clear handle on the closer role once again.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Friday that King (finger) remains "a ways away" from returning from the injured list, Max Goodman of SI.com reports.

King suffered a right middle finger contusion during weight training in early July. X-rays came back negative, per MLB.com, but the right-hander has been unable to play catch or do any throwing while he recovers. As such, he'll need some time to ramp up completely once the finger heals enough to allow him to pitch again.

Hearn will start Sunday against the Astros, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Hearn will draw his second start of the season, though it's hard to see him working deep into the game. While he regularly throws multiple innings out of the bullpen, Hearn has not completed more than two frames since April 12. Mike Foltynewicz is available out of the bullpen and could also chip in several innings if needed, according to Landry .

Iglesias secured his 21st save of the season Saturday night, allowing a hit and striking out one in a 2-1 win over the Twins.

Iglesias was brought in with two outs in the ninth and a man on second to put Patrick Sandoval's one-hit gem to bed. He made Angels fans' hearts skip a beat when his very first offering was stroked into the outfield for an RBI double, but recovered to lock down the Halos' victory with a strikeout of Miguel Sano to end the game. After taking a blown save and a loss the night previous against the Twins, the right-hander got his revenge.

White was recalled by the Dodgers on Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

White has bounced between Triple-A Oklahoma and the big-league club this season. He's served primarily as a multi-inning reliever with the Dodgers, posting a 3.93 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 18.1 frames. He's had more success in the minors, and he threw 11 innings while allowing only one earned run since being sent down on July 8. Jimmie Sherfy (elbow) was placed on the injured list, paving the way for White's return.

Barria will start Sunday's game against the Twins, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Barria accompanied the Angels on their weekend road trip to Target Field, so it's not entirely surprising to see him named the starter for Sunday's series finale. However, manager Joe Maddon said Saturday that the team hasn't yet decided whether the team will use an opener ahead of the right-hander Sunday.

Gallegos (5-3) was charged with the loss in Friday's defeat at the hands of the Reds, allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk over one inning.

Tasked with preserving a 5-5 tie when he entered in the eighth inning, Gallegos hurt his own cause immediately by allowing a leadoff single and committing a throwing error before ultimately surrendering what would prove to be a game-winning sacrifice fly. Despite getting dinged with the loss, Gallegos still owns an impressive 2.65 ERA and 0.69 WHIP across 43 appearances, although he's now allowed seven runs (six earned) over his last nine innings.

Weathers (ankle) was activated from the injured list as expected Saturday ahead of his scheduled start against the Marlins.

Weathers has been out for just shy of two weeks with an ankle issue. Prior to the injury, he'd cruised to a 2.91 ERA in 58.2 innings, though that wasn't close to supported by his 4.53 FIP, as he struck out a modest 17.9 percent of opposing batters. Miguel Diaz was optioned in a corresponding move.
