Raley struck out one over a scoreless 10th inning to earn the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over Cleveland.

Raley was the choice to close out the game because Ryan Pressly was unavailable after throwing three consecutive days. It was Raley's second save of the season.

Graveman fired a perfect ninth inning while striking out one to earn the save in the win over the Rangers on Sunday.

Graveman had yet another solid performance out of the bullpen, retiring the side Sunday. He now leads the Mariners with eight saves, but he is often used in the seventh and eighth innings in high-leverage situations. The 30-year-old has a 1.03 ERA and a 0.65 WHIP, allowing just three runs through 26.1 innings this season. He has allowed just two hits in 5.2 innings over his last five appearances.

Green (3-4) won Sunday's 4-2 victory in the second game of a doubleheader against the Mets, pitching three perfect innings with six strikeouts.

Green entered in the fifth to protect a 3-2 lead and ended up staying in for the game's final three innings, retiring all nine batters he faced on just 35 pitches. The outing lowered his ERA to 2.28 and the three innings and six strikeouts represent season highs.

Hernandez has not allowed a run in his last three outings.

The right-hander has covered four innings in those three scoreless outings. It's the first time all season Hernandez has kept runs off the board in consecutive appearances. He's struggled to a 6.23 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 24:15 K:BB across 18 innings this season, mainly in a low-leverage role.

Peralta will remain on the Yankees' active roster after Tyler Wade was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Peralta was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Sunday, and he served as the 27th man during the team's doubleheader against the Mets. The southpaw didn't appear in either of the two games, but he'll remain in the major-league bullpen going forward. Peralta has posted a 5.32 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in 23.2 innings across 30 relief appearances this year.

Barnes secured the save, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one across one inning against the Athletics on Sunday.

Barnes picked up his 19th save, although he allowed the tying run to get into scoring position before striking out Seth Brown to end the game. The closer has the second-most saves in the American League and is 19-for-23 in save opportunities. He has allowed just one earned run in 7.2 innings over his last eight appearances.

Pivetta (7-3) fired seven scoreless innings, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out 10 and earning the win over the Athletics on Sunday.

Pivetta took care of the Athletics on Sunday, striking out a season-high 10 batters in his longest outing of the season. He did not allow any extra-base hits in the game. The 28-year-old has a 4.09 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP with a team-leading 109 strikeouts in 92.1 innings. He has been very inconsistent in his last five starts, with two scoreless performances and two appearances in which he allowed six runs. His next start is tentatively scheduled for Saturday against Philadelphia.

Chapman (5-3) blew a save and took the loss in Game 1 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets. He was charged with three runs on one hit and one walk while failing to record an out.

Chapman served up a solo shot to Pete Alonso to tie the game before hitting Michael Conforto with a pitch and walking Jeff McNeil. Both of those Mets came around to score after Lucas Luetge entered the game. In his last three appearances, Chapman has allowed nine earned runs in just 1.1 innings, shooting his ERA up to 4.71 on the year. He's blown four of his last nine save opportunities dating back to May 23.

Alexander (1-1) allowed one hit and one walk while striking out three over 2.1 scoreless innings to earn the win Sunday versus the White Sox.

Alexander entered the game after a short start from Matt Manning. The left-handed Alexander was effective in this appearance, his third straight without allowing a run. For the year, he owns a 4.38 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 35:7 K:BB across 37 innings. The 26-year-old continues to work in a bulk relief role -- he has just two holds in 24 outings.

Cisnero retired the only batter he faced to earn the save in Sunday's 6-5 win over the White Sox.

Gregory Soto began the ninth inning in a non-save situation, but he struggled to finish the game. Cisnero entered with one on and two outs, and he got Andrew Vaughn to line out. The right-hander hasn't given up a run in his last 9.2 innings, racking up two saves, four holds and a win in his last nine appearances. Overall, Cisnero has a 2.72 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 44:13 K:BB across 36.1 innings this year. He's up to four saves and 10 holds as part of Detroit's closer committee.
