Iglesias allowed one hit over 1.1 scoreless innings to pick up his 19th save of the year Sunday against the Mariners.

Iglesias entered with two outs in the eighth and started off by allowing a single to Luis Torrens. The Angels would end up scoring three more runs in the top of the ninth to extend their lead to 7-1, but Iglesias still stuck in the game and sent the Mariners' hitters down 1-2-3 to convert the save. The 31-year-old has converted nine straight save chances and owns a 3.46 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 63:7 K:BB over 41.2 innings.

Ramirez (0-1) allowed two runs on one hit and a walk over just a third of an inning as he took the loss against the Angels on Sunday.

Ramirez entered to begin the fifth with the game still tied at one and was unable to keep things even. He hit and walked the first two batters he faced and they eventually crossed home on a single from David Fletcher to put the Angels up 3-1. Ramirez was pulled after four batters and the Mariners were unable to score the rest of the game, which set him up for the loss. The 26-year-old has a 4.82 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over 9.1 innings in six relief appearances so far.

Santiago allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out one over three innings Sunday against the Angels. He did not factor into the decision.

Santiago made his first start of the season due to the Mariners dealing with a number of injuries to their rotation. The veteran southpaw had a clean first two innings before allowing a solo home run in the third to David Fletcher to tie the game. Santiago now owns a 3.33 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 29:10 K:BB over 24.1 innings. The 33-year-old is expected to hear the result of the appeal this week for his 10-game suspension for having a foreign substance on his glove in late June. If the suspension is upheld, the Mariners will be down another arm and will be scrambling for some starting pitching coming out of the All-Star break.

Trivino fired a scoreless ninth Sunday against the Rangers to pick up his 14th save of the year. He allowed a hit and a walk but struck out a batter.

Trivino made things a little interesting after the Rangers got two men on to bring the tying run to the plate with two outs. They could have opted to bring in Joey Gallo as a pinch hitter but instead went with Jonah Heim, who lined the first pitch he saw out to deep center to end the game. Trivino has allowed one earned run over his last 26.2 innings and will head into the All-Star break with a 1.84 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 41:21 K:BB over 44 innings.

Anderson (elbow) emerged from a Saturday bullpen session at Tropicana Field feeling good and remains on target for a return at some point in August, the team's official site reports.

The right-hander doesn't yet have an exact starting date for a rehab assignment, but pitching coach Kyle Snyder recently encouraged Anderson to begin upping the intensity on his bullpen sessions. Anderson's recent rehab work has apparently been encouraging overall, and a return at some point in August remains likely.

Sulser allowed a run on one hit in two-thirds of an inning, taking a blown save versus the White Sox on Sunday.

The right-hander's strong June put him in the closer conversation in Baltimore, but he's now allowed five runs in just two innings across three July appearances. Sulser entered Sunday's game in the sixth inning and gave up a three-run home run to Andrew Vaughn, with two of those runs charged to Paul Fry. Through 32.2 innings overall, Sulser has a 3.31 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 44:15 K:BB. He'll likely continue to see time in high-leverage roles, as Baltimore has few dependable arms in its bullpen.

Rogers yielded four runs on three hits and a walk in Sunday's extra-inning win over Detroit. He struck out three batters and was charged with his third blown save.

Rogers had a three-run cushion in the ninth inning but served up a grand slam to Jake Rogers. He would've taken the loss if not for the Twins tying the game and eventually winning in the 10th. The 30-year-old southpaw was charged with his first blown save since early May and his third in 11 chances this season. He's now sporting a 3.35 ERA and a 54:8 K:BB after Sunday's ugly outing.

Pivetta (7-4) was tagged with the loss Sunday against the Phillies after allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits and two walks while fanning four across four innings.

Pivetta was far from his best Sunday, as he needed 76 pitches just to complete four frames and left the game with Boston down 5-1. It's worth noting he ends the first half of the season having allowed at least three earned runs in four of his last six outings.

Foster picked up the save Sunday against the Orioles after tossing a scoreless two-thirds of an inning.

The White Sox used their regular closer, Liam Hendriks, in the ninth inning so other relievers had to be called on when the game went to extra frames. Foster was credited with the save after recording the final two outs of the game, but he's not slated to see any late-inning work unless it's absolutely necessary. He got off to an impressive start to the season before the wheels came off, though he seems to be turning things around with back-to-back scoreless outings for the first time since mid-May.

Hendriks (4-2) earned the win in relief Sunday against the Orioles after allowing two runs on two hits across one inning, striking out three. He was also charged with a blown save.

This was far from Hendriks' best outing, as he entered the ninth inning with a 4-2 lead and couldn't hold on to get the save. Instead, the White Sox scored three runs in the top of the 10th, and that offensive explosion ended up giving Hendriks his fourth win of the campaign. The closer blew a save for the first time since June 11 and has gone 23-for-26 in save chances this season. Even after this poor outing, his role as the White Sox's closer is unquestioned.
