Rodriguez (3-0) picked up the win with a perfect inning in Sunday's 3-2 victory over the Athletics.

Rodriguez threw seven of his 11 pitches for strikes, retiring the side in order during the eighth inning. The right-hander has posted seven consecutive scoreless outings, allowing just three hits with an 11:2 K:BB, two wins and a hold over seven innings in that span. Rodriguez leads all Giants pitchers with a 0.92 ERA and has recorded a 0.71 WHIP, 27:2 BB:K and three holds across 19.2 innings in 19 appearances this season.

Hoeing (shoulder) allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits while striking out one batter in one inning for the ACL Padres in a minor-league rehab outing Saturday.

This was Hoeing's second rehab appearance, and through 1.1 frames he's surrendered six runs (five earned). Nonetheless, the right-hander appears to be working his way back to the big-league bullpen after beginning the season on the IL due to a right shoulder strain. Given the rust Hoeing has shown so far and the fact that he went a week between his first two rehab outings, he'll likely need to make multiple additional minor-league appearances before he is reinstated from the injured list, which could happen in early June.

Pagan allowed two hits in a scoreless inning to earn a save against Cleveland on Sunday. He struck out two batters.

Pagan coughed up a leadoff double to Bo Naylor and an infield single to Jose Ramirez after entering with a 3-1 lead. Pagan escaped unscathed after striking out the last two batters he faced. He's converted 12 of his 14 save chances and four straight. Pagan now owns a 3.52 ERA with a 26:6 K:BB through 23 frames this season.

Miller picked up the save Sunday against Colorado, allowing two hits and one walk with one strikeout over a scoreless ninth inning.

Miller has served as a fill-in closer while A.J. Puk (elbow) and Justin Martinez (shoulder) spend time on the injured list. While Miller has gone 3-for-4 in save opportunities since landing ninth-inning duties, it hasn't been pretty. Miller had to escape a bases-loaded jam to secure his third save and loaded the bases again Sunday with one out before retiring Brenton Doyle and Michael Toglia to secure the save. Despite his struggles, Miller should remain Arizona's closer until Martinez returns, which looks like it'll be Friday for the start of a series against St. Louis.

Romano struck out three batters in a perfect inning while earning his fifth save of the season in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Pirates.

Romano threw nine of 11 pitches for strikes and quickly put away Pittsburgh's No. 3 through 5 hitters to close out the win. After blowing two of his first three save chances while registering a 13.50 ERA through his first 11 appearances this season, Romano has since righted the ship. He's converted four straight save opportunities while delivering eight consecutive scoreless innings, and Romano should have a decent amount of security in the closer's role for the foreseeable future after Jose Alvarado -- who leads the Phillies with seven saves -- was suspended 80 games Sunday for testing positive for a banned substance.

Walker struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

This was Walker's third consecutive scoreless inning since his blown save versus the Twins on May 11. The right-hander got through his outing Sunday on a tidy seven pitches (six strikes) to earn his eighth save in 10 chances this season. Walker also has a hold, but he's been less dominant in 2025 than he was in 2024, posting a 5.29 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB over his first 17 innings this year. Walker's unsteady pitching has almost all been since April 20, which has opened the door for Camilo Doval to rejoin the closer conversation for the Giants, which has the ninth inning looking like a two-man committee for now.

Vest tossed a scoreless inning with one strikeout to record the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Despite not allowing a hit or a walk, Vest needed 24 pitches to retire three batters, but he still managed to earn his fifth save of the year in seven chances. The veteran righty is strengthening his hold on the top closer role in Detroit, as he now has a sparkling 1.66 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 25 strikeouts across 21.2 innings. Tommy Kahnle, who has five saves of his own this season, worked a clean eighth inning Sunday and will continue to be in the mix for saves moving forward.

Megill collected the save in Sunday's 5-2 win against the Twins, pitching a clean inning with two strikeouts.

The Milwaukee right-hander showed no signs of trouble in this 14-pitch outing, firing 11 strikes to smoothly collect his 27th career save. Megill is riding a streak of seven consecutive scoreless appearances, notching four saves with an 8:3 K:BB over six innings during that span. Through 13.1 total frames, the 31-year-old has pitched to a 2.70 ERA and 17:7 K:BB across 17 appearances.

Yarbrough is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

The left-hander last pitched May 11 in Sacramento, so he'll be taking the mound Tuesday with a bit of extra rest. Yarbrough allowed two runs over five frames in that outing while picking up his first win of the season, and he's been a quality swingman for the Yankees early on in 2025 with a 3.70 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB across 24.1 innings.

Estevez picked up the save in Sunday's 2-1 victory over St. Louis, allowing a hit in a scoreless inning with one strikeout.

The Kansas City closer worked around a Brendan Donovan double and efficiently secured the win on 12 pitches, eight of which were strikes. Estevez has been a reliable reliever over his last 10 appearances, conceding just one run while pitching to an 8:1 K:BB across 9.2 innings. The 32-year-old has gone a perfect 8-for-8 on save opportunities during that span as he maintains his firm grip on the closer job over Lucas Erceg.
