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.

Green (3-5) allowed four runs on four hits and took a loss against the Astros on Sunday. He recorded just one out.

Things unraveled quickly for the Yankees after entering the ninth inning with a 7-2 lead. Green allowed two inherited to runners to score and eventually served up a walkoff, three-run blast to Jose Altuve. His season ERA spiked to 2.89 through 46.2 innings. He had turned in 6.1 straight scoreless innings prior to Sunday's outing. Between Green and Aroldis Chapman's recent struggles, the Yankees enter the All-Star break with some big question marks in the bullpen.

Pardinho (elbow) has made two appearances for the Blue Jays' rookie-level Florida Complex League club since being assigned to the affiliate June 28, covering three scoreless innings and striking out four.

Pardinho's 2021 debut was delayed while he worked through the final stages of his recovery from his February 2020 Tommy John surgery. Prior to sustaining the elbow injury, Pardinho had finished the 2019 campaign at Low-A Lansing, so it may not take long for him to earn a promotion to a full-season affiliate.

Romano allowed a run on two hits in one inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-1 win over Tampa Bay.

Romano gave up a solo home run to Brandon Lowe in the ninth inning, but the right-hander was able to protect Toronto's lead after that. Through 32.2 innings, Romano is 7-for-8 in save chances while adding five holds, a 1.93 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 40:17 K:BB. He'll likely continue to see most of the save opportunities in the second half of the season.
