Trivino recorded his first hold in a win over the Mariners on Wednesday, firing a scoreless two-thirds of an inning in which he recorded a strikeout.

Trivino got his pair of outs to close out the sixth inning on a tidy seven pitches, five which he threw for strikes. The efficient effort was the latest in a stretch of strong showings for Trivino, who now has a 1-0 mark, 2.70 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 14.9 K/9 across the 6.2 innings covering his last 10 appearances.

Luetge earned a hold against Baltimore on Wednesday, allowing one walk and striking out one batter over two-thirds of an inning.

Luetge handled the top of the eighth inning for New York and retired two batters around a walk to Trey Mancini. The left-hander finished with his third straight scoreless outing and his fourth hold of the campaign. He has appeared in four games over the past seven days after making only three appearances across the first 18 days of May.

Shaw allowed a hit and struck out three in a scoreless inning during Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Astros.

Shaw's season numbers are skewed by one bad outing -- he allowed five runs without recording an out May 13 versus the White Sox. He's only allowed three other runs in the rest of his 17 appearances this season, but that one meltdown puts him at a 5.27 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB across 13.2 innings. The 34-year-old right-hander has added a 1-0 record and three holds, though he's not likely to see save chances all that frequently.

Holmes picked up the save Wednesday against the Orioles. He allowed zero runs on two hits and zero walks while striking out one over one inning.

With Aroldis Chapman (Achilles) and Chad Green (elbow) on the 15-day injured list, Holmes has been the Yankees' go-to guy for high-leverage situations and has gone 3-for-3 in save opportunities over his last four appearances. Wednesday's performance was a bit shaky, as he allowed the game-tying run to reach, but Holmes slammed the door shut by striking out Jorge Mateo to end the game. Holmes currently sports a 0.38 ERA and a 24:2 K:BB across 23.2 innings.

Poche allowed an unearned run on two hits and a walk while striking out one in the ninth inning to earn the save Wednesday against the Marlins.

Poche was handed a two-run lead and was ultimately forced to get out of a bases-loaded jam to end the game. Neither of the hits he surrendered left the infield, and the defense committed two errors behind him. Nevertheless, Poche managed to record his first save of the season, which is particularly notable because Andrew Kittredge (back) is sidelined and Brooks Raley was not used in the game. Poche missed the last two seasons due to Tommy John surgery but has returned to maintain a 1.29 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB across 14 innings.

Jimenez worked a perfect ninth inning Wednesday without a walk or a strikeout to record his 10th save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Mariners.

The 28-year-old rookie continues to dazzle in the closer role for Oakland. Jimenez has yet to blow a save this season, and he's been charged with an earned run in only one of his 18 appearances, leading to a 0.49 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 19:6 K:BB through 18.1 innings.

Burke allowed one hit and struck out one over two scoreless innings in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Angels.

Burke made a sixth consecutive scoreless appearance, during which he's allowed seven hits and two walks while striking out nine over 11.1 innings. Five of those outings and 10 of 13 overall have lasted more than three outs. The left-hander, a former starter, finally appears to be healthy after a 2019 shoulder injury put a hole in his career. Burke hinted that shoulder was better at the end of the 2021 in the minors, when he allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out 14 over his final 13 innings at Triple-A Round Rock.

Otto (2-2) earned the win over the Angels on Wednesday, allowing one run over five innings. He gave up three hits, walked two and struck out seven.

Otto gave up a first-inning run but settled down after that, keeping Los Angeles off the scoreboard for his remaining four frames. The right-hander racked up a season-high seven strikeouts and picked up his first win since his first appearance of the campaign April 22. Otto has allowed two runs or fewer in five of his six outings, but his 4.91 ERA is marred by an eight-run, four-inning blowup against Boston on May 14. Still, it's probably better to take a wait-and-see approach in fantasy, as Otto has allowed multiple walks in all but one appearance and hadn't punched out more than five batters in a game until Wednesday. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start at home against Tampa Bay on Monday.

Pressly earned a save against the Guardians on Wednesday, pitching a perfect inning during which he struck out one batter.

Pressly came on in the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead and had a relatively easy time closing things out, retiring the side on nine pitches and preventing any balls from leaving the infield. He has converted his last four save chances and hasn't given up a run across six outings since being tagged with back-to-back blown saves April 13 and May 5.

Hendriks earned the save after he pitched 1.1 scoreless innings, walking two batters while striking out one in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Red Sox.

Hendriks entered the game with two outs in the eighth frame after Joe Kelly was forced to exit with left hamstring tightness, getting Christian Vazquez to ground out to end the inning. He then returned in the ninth inning, working around two walks to grab his 14th save of the season. Hendriks has now worked 5.1 scoreless frames since blowing back-to-back saves earlier in May, allowing three hits and walking two while striking out eight and going 5-for-5 on save opportunities.
