Feyereisen earned the save Sunday against the Blue Jays after tossing a scoreless ninth inning, giving up a hit and fanning two.

Feyereisen had gone 0-for-2 in save opportunities this season, though both came when he was still a member of the Brewers. The Rays have a well-earned reputation for getting the most out of previously unheralded pitchers and Feyereisen has responded well since getting traded last week, as he has tossed two scoreless innings with three strikeouts after changing teams.

Fleming (4-3) earned the win Sunday against the Blue Jays after tossing six innings in relief as a tandem with Michael Wacha, giving up four runs on eight hits and a walk while fanning two.

Fleming gave up season-worst figures in runs, hits and home runs allowed, but he still got the win after the Blue Jays' bullpen melted in the ninth. The left-hander will try to leave this outing behind him as soon as possible, though it remains to be seen whether he'll stick in the rotation or if he will continue as a long-relief alternative. He owns an excellent 2.88 ERA this season.

Manaea allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out six over five innings against the Angels on Sunday. He did not factor into the decision.

Manaea held the Angels' hitters in check over five innings. The only run scored against him came in the fourth on an RBI groundout by Jared Walsh. It was a much-needed performance for the 29-year-old Manaea after a pair of rough outings in which he was lit up for 10 runs on 20 hits over eight combined innings. He'll take a 4.17 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 54:11 K:BB over 54 innings into his next start.

Iglesias (3-2) pitched a perfect 1.1 innings while striking out two batters as he picked up the win in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Athletics.

Iglesias entered in the eighth with two outs and runners on the corners with the game tied at 5-5 and got Elvis Andrus to pop out to end the inning. The Angels would take the lead in the bottom of the frame and Iglesias would send the Athletics' hitters down 1-2-3 in the ninth while striking out Ramon Laureano and Jed Lowrie to end the game. It was a great bounceback performance after the 31-year-old Iglesias got chased for two home runs in his last appearance Friday. He now owns a 5.19 ERA and 24:3 K:BB over 17.1 innings.

Taylor (ankle) allowed one hit over a scoreless inning for Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday.

Taylor kicked off his rehab assignment and could return to Houston at some point next week, given that relievers don't need to build up pitch counts. Houston's bullpen, which played a significant negative role during a three-game sweep at the hands of the Rangers this weekend, could use the help.

Hendriks walked the only batter faced in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.

Hendriks was asked to quell New York's threat in the bottom of the ninth inning of a tied game. He entered with one out and the bases loaded, then walked Aaron Judge on five pitches, all of which were outside the strike zone. Following an initial rough patch to start the season, Hendriks has not allowed an earned run over his last 10 appearances, spanning 8.2 innings.

Fulmer (3-3) was charged with the loss Sunday, allowing two runs on two hits without recording an out versus Kansas City. He also took a blown save.

Fulmer allowed an infield single to Whit Merrifield and a walkoff home run to Carlos Santana. The right-hander had allowed only one unearned run in his previous 10 innings before Sunday's disaster. Fulmer is now 4-for-5 in save chances with four holds, a 3.69 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB across 31.2 innings. He's made 13 of his 17 appearances as a reliever after he was removed from the rotation earlier in May.

Pressly (2-1) allowed an unearned run on one hit over 1.1 innings and took the loss against the Rangers on Sunday.

Pressly rolled through a perfect ninth inning on just eight pitches to keep the game tied at 3-3. He then forced two ground balls in the 10th inning, one to move Nick Solak over to third and another to bring Solak home for a Texas victory. It was the first loss or blown save of the year for the 32-year-old, who lowered his season ERA to 1.31.

Misiewicz (2-3) lost Sunday's 9-2 defeat at the hands of San Diego after allowing four hits and three runs without recording an out.

MIsiewicz relieved starter Justin Dunn in the sixth inning and proceeded to allow three singles and a double before exiting with the bases loaded. After not allowing a run to cross the plate in April, Misiewicz has now allowed 10 runs in six May innings and has seen his ERA balloon to 5.87.

Chapman (4-0) allowed one run on a hit and a walk while striking out one in one inning to earn the win against the White Sox on Sunday.

Chapman was charged with a blown save since he gave up his first run of the season to tie the game in the top of the ninth inning Sunday. However, the Yankees scored the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning to give Chapman his fourth win of the 2021 campaign. He's now posted a 0.47 ERA and 0.74 WHIP in 19 innings this season.
