Valdez allowed a hit and a walk and struck out three in two scoreless innings to earn the save in Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader versus the Yankees.

Valdez relieved starter Jorge Lopez in the sixth inning and kept the Yankees at bay over the final two frames. It was the first save of Valdez's career. He has allowed just one unearned run over eight innings across three appearances. He's added nine strikeouts and a 0.86 WHIP this season.

Lopez (1-0) allowed three unearned runs on three hits and a walk while striking out two over five innings in a win in Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader versus the Yankees.

While the Orioles' defense was suspect, Lopez was solid enough to limit mistakes of his own despite throwing just 44 of his 88 pitches for strikes. The 27-year-old now has a 5.59 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 13 strikeouts across 19.1 innings this season. Lopez lines up for a rematch at Yankee Stadium on Thursday if he retains his spot in the rotation.

Green fired one scoreless inning as he earned the save in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Orioles. He allowed one hit and no walks while striking out zero.

Green underwent some struggles in late August, but he's had four consecutive scoreless outings, and he picked up the save in Friday's extra-inning win. He carries a 2.89 ERA and 25:5 K:BB over 18.2 innings this year, but he's unlikely to see many save chances as Aroldis Chapman is still firmly entrenched as the Yankees' closer.

King allowed three runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over four innings in Friday's Game 1 win against the Orioles. He didn't factor into the decision.

King was making his third start of the season to begin Friday's twin bill, but he struggled against the long ball. The right-hander hasn't had any scoreless outings this season and now carries a 6.33 ERA over 21.1 innings. His next appearance could come out of the bullpen.

Heuer (2-0) was perfect over 1.1 innings, striking out one and earning the win Friday versus the Royals.

Heuer was called on to get the last out of the fifth inning, making him eligible for the win in relief of starter Dane Dunning. In the sixth, Heuer got a strikeout and two groundouts. The 24-year-old has pitched to a 2.63 ERA with a 0.80 WHIP and 13 strikeouts across 13.2 innings this season. He's also notched a save and two holds, but typically works earlier in games, so far to decent results.

Colome gave up a run on two hits and two walks while striking out one over 1.1 innings to earn the save Friday versus the Royals.

Colome entered with runners on the corners and two outs in the eighth inning. He walked Ryan O'Hearn to load the bases, but then struck out Whit Merrifield. Colome's struggles persisted in the ninth when he allowed three straight batters to reach with two outs, but he escaped when Ryan McBroom grounded out to end the game. The 31-year-old Colome has a 1.23 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with 12 strikeouts over 14.2 innings this season. The run he allowed Friday was just his third (second earned run) of the year.

Rogers tossed one scoreless inning Friday as he earned the save in Game 1 of the doubleheader against the Tigers. He allowed one hit and no walks while striking out one.

The Tigers struggled offensively throughout Friday's matinee, and Rogers came on to slam the door as he picked up his first save since Aug. 24. The southpaw bounced back from a rough appearance his last time around and now carries a 4.05 ERA over 13.1 innings this year.

Puk (shoulder) will throw again Sunday, John Hickey of SI.com reports.

Puk threw 1.1 innings in a rehab intrasquad game at the team's alternate training site in San Jose on Friday and was expected to rejoin the team afterward. However, the Athletics added another throwing session to his agenda, so he won't be able to rejoin the major-league roster until next week. Once he returns, the southpaw will work out of the bullpen to finish the season.

Heller was optioned to the Yankees' alternate training site following Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

Heller allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out none over one inning in Friday's matinee, and he'll head to alternate camp following the contest. Right-hander Clarke Schmidt's contract was selected by the Yankees to take his place with the major-league pitching staff.

King's contract was purchased by the Rangers on Friday.

The 25-year-old will be making quite the leap, as he's yet to pitch above High-A. He posted a 2.03 ERA in 14 starts for High-A Down East last season, striking out 22.7 percent of batters while walking just 4.0 percent, but expectations should be modest for him this season given the jump in competition.
