  • Brooks Raley RP | PHI

    Astros' Brooks Raley: Closes out Cleveland

    Raley struck out one over a scoreless 10th inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over Cleveland.

    Raley was the choice to close out the game because Ryan Pressly was unavailable after throwing three consecutive days. It was Raley's second save of the season.

  • Mariners' Kendall Graveman: Notches eighth save

    Graveman fired a perfect ninth inning while striking out one to earn the save in the win over the Rangers on Sunday.

    Graveman had yet another solid performance out of the bullpen, retiring the side Sunday. He now leads the Mariners with eight saves, but he is often used in the seventh and eighth innings in high-leverage situations. The 30-year-old has a 1.03 ERA and a 0.65 WHIP, allowing just three runs through 26.1 innings this season. He has allowed just two hits in 5.2 innings over his last five appearances.

  • Tyler Rogers RP | TOR

    Giants' Tyler Rogers: Records one-out save

    Rogers saved Sunday's 5-2 victory over Arizona, walking one while recording the final out.

    After starter Anthony DeSclafani went 8.2 innings, Rogers entered to lock up the San Francisco victory with a Josh Reddick groundout. It took 17 pitches to record the out and with a quick turnaround Monday, Rogers' availability may be limited.

  • Chad Green RP | TOR

    Yankees' Chad Green: Secures third win

    Green (3-4) won Sunday's 4-2 victory in the second game of a doubleheader against the Mets, pitching three perfect innings with six strikeouts.

    Green entered in the fifth to protect a 3-2 lead and ended up staying in for the game's final three innings, retiring all nine batters he faced on just 35 pitches. The outing lowered his ERA to 2.28 and the three innings and six strikeouts represent season highs.

  • Royals' Carlos Hernandez: Three straight scoreless outings

    Hernandez has not allowed a run in his last three outings.

    The right-hander has covered four innings in those three scoreless outings. It's the first time all season Hernandez has kept runs off the board in consecutive appearances. He's struggled to a 6.23 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 24:15 K:BB across 18 innings this season, mainly in a low-leverage role.

  • Yankees' Wandy Peralta: Remains on active roster

    Peralta will remain on the Yankees' active roster after Tyler Wade was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Peralta was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Sunday, and he served as the 27th man during the team's doubleheader against the Mets. The southpaw didn't appear in either of the two games, but he'll remain in the major-league bullpen going forward. Peralta has posted a 5.32 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 23.2 innings across 30 relief appearances this year.

  • Austin Adams RP | BOS

    Padres' Austin Adams: Picks up relief win

    Adams (3-2) allowed no hits and one walk in one scoreless inning to earn the win against the Phillies on Sunday.

    Adams relieved Blake Snell in the fifth inning, and he picked up his first win since May 29 since the Padres' offense provided plenty of run support early in the contest. The right-hander has allowed just one unearned run in 5.1 innings across his last seven appearances.

  • Andre Jackson RP | PIT

    Dodgers' Andre Jackson: Harnessing stuff in Double-A

    Jackson has a 3.91 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 62:14 K:BB across 46 innings spanning 11 appearances for Double-A Tulsa this season.

    The good news is that Jackson has reined in the control issues that plagued him in 2019, when he walked 57 batters in 114.2 innings across two levels. The bad news is that being around the strike zone so much has resulted in Jackson serving up 11 long balls already this year -- with six of them coming in his last four outings. The 25-year-old righty also hasn't exceeded five innings in any start this season, so there's not much reason to think that he's close to contributing to the big-league rotation.

  • Matt Barnes RP | WAS

    Red Sox's Matt Barnes: Notches 19th save

    Barnes secured the save, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one across one inning against the Athletics on Sunday.

    Barnes picked up his 19th save, although he allowed the tying run to get into scoring position before striking out Seth Brown to end the game. The closer has the second-most saves in the American League and is 19-for-23 in save opportunities. He has allowed just one earned run in 7.2 innings over his last eight appearances.

  • Nick Pivetta SP | SD

    Red Sox's Nick Pivetta: Fans 10 in win

    Pivetta (7-3) fired seven scoreless innings, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out 10 and earning the win over the Athletics on Sunday.

    Pivetta took care of the Athletics on Sunday, striking out a season-high 10 batters in his longest outing of the season. He did not allow any extra-base hits in the game. The 28-year-old has a 4.09 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP with a team-leading 109 strikeouts in 92.1 innings. He has been very inconsistent in his last five starts, with two scoreless performances and two appearances in which he allowed six runs. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Saturday against Philadelphia.
