Schreiber earned a save against the Twins on Monday, issuing one walk and allowing no hits over 1.1 scoreless innings.

Schreiber entered with two outs in the eighth inning after Minnesota had put two runners on base while trailing by four runs. He retired the only batter he faced in that frame and returned for the ninth, working around a one-out walk and an error to close out the contest. Schreiber thus notched his first save since joining the Yankees off waivers Aug. 31. The right-hander had a save with the Royals earlier in the campaign, but he's no threat to David Bednar's closing role. Still, he's been excellent so far in his tenure with New York, pitching seven scoreless innings over six outings, during which he's given up just one hit.

Garcia notched a save against the Mets on Monday by tossing a perfect inning of work.

Garcia took the mound with Baltimore up by a run in the ninth inning. He retired the side in order on 14 pitches (nine strikes) to notch the save. It was his third save in the past six days, and no other Baltimore pitcher has recorded a save during that span, so Garcia appears to have taken over as the team's primary closer in the absence of Ryan Helsley (elbow). Helsley is in the midst of a rehab assignment, but he's missed over 2.5 months of action, so it's not certain that he'll be immediately put back into the ninth-inning role upon his return to the major-league club.

Varland was charged with a blown save Monday against the Tigers, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 1.2 innings.

Varland got the call with one out in the eighth inning after Detroit had put two runners -- the tying and go-ahead runs -- on base. The All-Star closer struck out Dillon Dingler to put himself in position to escape the jam, but Brett Callahan followed with an RBI single to tie the score. Varland then managed to get the third out, but he yielded the go-ahead run in the ninth and ultimately took the loss. The blown save was just the second of the season in 35 attempts for Varland, who had converted nine consecutive saves while allowing just one earned run over 14.2 innings across his previous 14 appearances. He still has an outstanding 1.32 overall ERA this season and is in no danger of losing his closer role.

Joyce picked up the save Monday against the Mariners. He allowed no hits and two walks with no strikeouts over a scoreless inning.

Joyce was wild, throwing just nine of 20 pitches for strikes, but he was able to retire the side with no damage done to secure his fifth save of the season. Walks notwithstanding, putting up a zero was a nice rebound for the hard-throwing right-hander, as he suffered a blown save Saturday and allowed a run in each of his previous two outings. Joyce has emerged as the top ninth-inning option for the Angels, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB in 13.1 frames.

Wolfram allowed one hit and no walks in a scoreless eighth inning for a hold Monday against the Mets. He struck out one.

Wolfram continues to operate as a left-handed specialist out of the Baltimore bullpen. He gave up multiple runs in three consecutive outings to begin the month of August, but Wolfram has since yielded just two runs in his last 12 appearances. He has a 4.66 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 56:14 K:BB with 13 holds over 48.1 innings (56 outings).

Davis was reinstated from the bereavement list and optioned to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday.

Davis has been away from the team since being placed on the bereavement list Wednesday. He'll report to Triple-A after being reinstated. The right-hander didn't surrender a run in 4.1 frames out of the bullpen during his latest stint in the big leagues.

Fisher will operate as the Blue Jays' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Tigers, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Tuesday will mark the 10th time this season that Fisher has been asked to work out of the opener role, with his last opportunity against the Athletics last Wednesday, when he fired a scoreless frame and struck out one. He'll presumably work the first inning before turning the game over to the bullpen.

Winckowski (elbow) was activated from the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Winckowski has spent the majority of the 2026 season rehabbing from an internal brace procedure that took place in December of 2025. He's since completed a rehab stint and was cleared to take the mound at Triple-A Buffalo, where he tossed two scoreless innings and struck out two Thursday against the Knights.

Jansen worked around a walk to toss a scoreless ninth inning and record the save in Monday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays. He struck out one.

The veteran closer continued his strong recent stretch of performances, as he's now logged nine straight scoreless outings with four saves during that span. Overall, Jansen is up to 20 saves in 26 chances this season, and it's the 14th time he's recorded 20 or more saves during his illustrious career. The 38-year-old righty isn't the dominant force he once was, and it's unclear if he'll be back with the Tigers next season as the team holds an option, but Jansen has still managed to provide fantasy value at his advanced age.

Rojas (oblique) was activated from the 7-day injured list Sunday.

Rojas landed on the injured list Aug. 22 after picking up a right oblique strain. He didn't show any signs of rust in his return to action Sunday, tossing two scoreless frames while walking one and striking out one against Triple-A Syracuse.
