Peralta (1-0) was credited with the win Tuesday against Toronto. He allowed one walk and struck out one batter in a scoreless inning of relief.

Peralta came on in the top of the ninth inning with New York trailing by two runs. He walked George Springer with two outs but retired the other three batters he faced to keep the deficit at two. Peralta was then credited with the win after Aaron Judge belted a walkoff three-run homer in the bottom of the frame. The left-handed reliever has been solid this season, posting a 1.64 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 11 innings. His 6:5 K:BB isn't ideal, however.

King allowed two hits and a walk while striking out two over 1.2 scoreless innings in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Royals.

King earned his second hold, but he allowed two inherited runners to score. The left-hander has managed to sidestep serious damage despite allowing 21 baserunners over 13.1 innings -- only two of his 13 appearances have been clean. King has a 2.70 ERA which stands in contrast to a 4.22 FIP.

Graveman allowed one hit and walked one across a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Tuesday against the Guardians.

Graveman entered the game with a three-run lead and retired the first two batters he faced. He made things interesting by allowing two hitters to reach base, but he ultimately recorded his second save without much trouble. Graveman has had a strong start to the season by maintaining a 1.76 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with a 15:5 K:BB across 15.1 frames, though he only worked the ninth inning because Liam Hendriks had appeared in three out of the last four games.

Romano (1-2) blew the save and took the loss Tuesday as the Blue Jays were downed 6-5 by the Yankees, giving up three runs on one hit and two walks in one-third of an inning with the out coming via strikeout.

Called upon to protect a 5-3 lead in the bottom of the ninth, Romano fanned Isiah Kiner-Falefa before issuing walks to Jose Trevino and DJ LeMahieu, setting the stage for the first walkoff homer of Aaron Judge's career. It's the first time Romano has walked multiple batters this season, and he sports a 3.29 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB through 13.2 innings while going 12-for-14 on save chances.

Hentges threw a perfect inning in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the White Sox.

Over his last nine outings, Hentges threw 11.0 shutout innings, allowing just six hits and a walk. The southpaw continues to be stingy with baserunners, posting a 0.62 WHIP and a 17:1 K:BB across 13 innings this season. Hentges is still most likely to serve as a multi-inning option for now, but extended success could see him eventually be in position to pick up the occasional hold.

Tate allowed a run on two hits and a hit batter in two-thirds of an inning, earning a hold in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Cardinals.

Tate had a 5.2-inning scoreless streak entering Tuesday, but he allowed a solo home run to Brendan Donovan in the ninth inning. The right-handed reliever didn't finish the inning, with Felix Bautista instead logging the final out to earn a save. Tate has been solid with a 2.45 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB across 14.2 innings this season. He's added a save and four holds in 13 outings. He'll likely be the Orioles' primary closer in the near term with Jorge Lopez on the bereavement list.

Sewald saved Tuesday's 5-4 victory over Philadelphia, allowing one run on one hit with one strikeout in 1.1 innings.

Sewald got the last out of the eighth and stayed in for the ninth to record his first save of the season despite surrendering a Jean Segura solo shot. The 31-year-old has surrendered four runs through 9.1 innings this season -- all the result of two home runs -- but has permitted just five baserunners along with 10 strikeouts. Manager Scott Servais has played the matchups at the back end of his bullpen with four different relievers recording each of the teams four saves and Sewald will need to earn a defined role before he can be relied upon consistently.

Martinez (1-0) earned the win in Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Tigers. He allowed four hits and had three strikeouts and zero walks over 5.1 scoreless innings.

The 25-year-old served as the 27th man for Tuesday's twin bill and started the nightcap, and he delivered a strong outing in his big-league debut. Martinez had a 7.45 ERA through five outings with Triple-A Las Vegas, but he allowed only four singles across 5.1 shutout frames Wednesday. The right-hander should return to the minors, but the performance could earn him another big-league opportunity later in the campaign.

Barlow earned the save, tossing a perfect ninth inning in a 6-4 win Tuesday over Kansas City.

Barlow faced the bottom three hitters in the Kansas City lineup and retired them in order. He has converted all five of his save opportunities and has not allowed a hit since April 16, pitching 7.1 innings since then. With a 1.74 ERA and 0.68 WHIP, the 26-year-old is off to a dominant start in his sophomore campaign.

Schreiber notched a save Tuesday after he pitched two perfect innings, striking out three batters in the 9-4 win over the Braves.

Schreiber entered the game in the bottom of the eighth inning when the Red Sox held a 6-4 lead, striking out one batter before returning the next inning and punching out two more on the way to his first career save. The 28-year-old has pitched 6.1 scoreless innings with a 0.47 WHIP and six strikeouts this season with the Red Sox while alternating between the big-leagues and Triple-A Worcester. His high level of production could lead to more opportunities out of the bullpen moving forward.
