  • Abner Uribe RP | MIL

    Brewers' Abner Uribe: Earns third win of 2025

    Uribe (3-2) came away with the win in Saturday's extra-inning game against the Cardinals, allowing one unearned run on a walk and a hit-by-pitch in one inning. He did not record a strikeout.

    Uribe was brought in for the 10th to keep the game tied at 7-7, but he proceeded to load the bases after hitting Victor Scott with a pitch and walking Brendan Donovan. Uribe was able to limit the damage to one run after Ivan Herrera grounded out into a double play to bring home Jordan Walker, and the right-hander was credited with the win after the Brewers scored two runs in the bottom of the frame. Uribe has yielded just four runs (two earned) across his last 23 innings since the All-Star break and sports a 1.82 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 69.1 innings this season. He should continue to operate as Milwaukee's primary closer until Trevor Megill (elbow) can return from the IL.

  • Yennier Cano RP | BAL

    Orioles' Yennier Cano: Implodes Saturday

    Cano (3-7) took the loss and blew a save opportunity against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits while recording just one out.

    With Baltimore up 4-2 in the ninth inning, Keegan Akin got the first stab at notching a save. He gave up two one-out singles and was subsequently relieved by Cano, who quickly gave up a pair of singles that plated a pair of runs to tie the score. The only out Cano recorded came on a sacrifice fly by Alejandro Kirk that brought home the winning run for Toronto. Cano came into Saturday having allowed just one run over his previous eight appearances, but he's now blown five of his seven save chances on the campaign.

  • Matt Brash RP | SEA

    Mariners' Matt Brash: Snags fourth save

    Brash allowed a run on two hits and struck out one over one inning to earn the save in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Angels.

    Andres Munoz had pitched four of the previous five days, leaving this save opportunity for Brash. It was a little shaky when Taylor Ward hit a leadoff home run in the ninth inning, but Brash was able to settle in and convert his fourth save of the year. He's allowed seven runs (six earned) over his last 17.1 innings, adding three saves and seven holds in that span as Seattle's top setup man. Brash has a 1.85 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 54:16 K:BB through 43.2 innings this season.

  • John Curtiss RP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' John Curtiss: Collects third win of 2025

    Curtiss (3-1) came away with the win in Saturday's extra-inning game against the Twins, allowing one hit and zero walks while striking out two batters in two scoreless innings.

    Curtiss was called upon in the ninth inning to keep the game tied at 2-2, and he was brought back for the 10th to protect the Diamondbacks' three-run lead, which he did successfully. Curtiss has worked out of the Diamondbacks' bullpen since late June after his contract was selected from Triple-A Reno, and he has a 3.06 ERA and 0.87 WHIP across 32.1 major-league innings this season.

  • Jose Alvarado RP | PHI

    Phillies' Jose Alvarado: Won't pitch again this year

    Alvarado (forearm), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, won't pitch again in 2025, Noah Levick of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Manager Rob Thomson confirmed prior to Friday's game against the Royals that Alvarado won't have enough time to recover from his strained left forearm before the regular season concludes. The 30-year-old left-hander is ineligible for the playoffs due to his PED suspension, which cost him 80 games earlier this year, as well. Alvarado had once worked his way into Philadelphia's closing mix due to the struggles of Jordan Romano (finger), but the former reverted back to a setup role upon his return in August due to the addition of Jhoan Duran. Alvarado will close the campaign with a 3.81 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 32:7 K:BB and five holds while converting seven of his eight save chances. He has a $9 million club option for 2026.

  • Tanner Banks RP | PHI

    Phillies' Tanner Banks: Registers eighth hold

    Banks threw a clean sixth inning for a hold Saturday against the Royals.

    The southpaw matched a career high with his eighth hold of the year Saturday. With Jose Alvarado's (forearm) season perhaps already over, the Phillies will likely lean on Banks and Matt Strahm as their top left-handed relievers to finish up the campaign. Through 64.1 innings, Banks has a strong 3.22 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 57:10 K:BB.

  • Rico Garcia RP | BAL

    Orioles' Rico Garcia: Tallies seventh hold

    Garcia picked up a hold Saturday against Toronto, striking out one while allowing one hit and one walk in a scoreless inning.

    The hold was the seventh of the season for Garcia, who's proven to be a serviceable bullpen arm since joining the Orioles. Through 13.1 innings for Baltimore, the journeyman right-hander owns a 2.70 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB. Garcia should continue to handle middle-relief work and occasional high-leverage situations for the O's to close out the campaign.

  • Jhoan Duran RP | PHI

    Phillies' Jhoan Duran: Collects save No. 30

    Duran struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his 30th save of the season in an 8-6 win over the Royals.

    The flame-throwing righty fired seven of nine pitches for strikes as he breezed through the top of the Kansas City order. Duran has converted 14 of 15 save chances since joining the Phillies, reaching 30 saves for the first time in his career. Over 15.2 innings for his new club, he's delivered a stellar 1.15 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 21:0 K:BB.

  • Cade Smith P | CLE

    Guardians' Cade Smith: Breezes to 14th save

    Smith struck out two batters in a scoreless ninth inning to secure the save in Saturday's 3-1 win over the White Sox.

    Tasked with protecting the Guardians' two-run lead, Smith struck out the first two batters he faced in the ninth inning before getting Andrew Benintendi to fly out to center field. Smith has converted each of his last seven save opportunities and has struck out 12 batters across his last six outings.

  • Edwin Diaz RP | LAD

    Mets' Edwin Diaz: Blows first save since July

    Diaz (6-3) blew the save and took the loss Saturday as the Mets fell 3-2 to the Rangers, giving up one run on three hits and a walk over 1.1 innings. He struck out one.

    Called in to protect a 2-1 lead in the eighth inning with a runner on second and two outs, Diaz instead uncorked a wild pitch and a walk before Rowdy Tellez roped a ground-rule double to tie the game. The right-hander escaped that jam, but he then gave up the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth. It was Diaz's third blown save of the season and his first since July 20, ending a stretch of seven straight save conversions, but he's stumbling toward the finish line on the regular season -- he's been tagged for runs in four of his last 10 appearances, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 18:4 K:BB in 11.2 innings over that stretch.
