Hader earned a save against the Angels on Wednesday, walking one batter and striking out one batter over a scoreless inning.

Hader got the call in the ninth inning and saw the tying run come to the plate following a one-out walk. However, he retired the final two hitters he faced to nail down his second save in as many days. Hader has recorded 11 consecutive scoreless outings, during which he's allowed just five hits over 10 frames. He's been a little wild with nine walks during that span but has also registered 16 punchouts and collected seven saves.

Williams (4-2) was charged with the loss and a blown save against the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and no walks while striking out one batter over one inning.

Williams was called upon in the ninth frame to protect a two-run Milwaukee lead, but he was unable to come through for just the second time this season. The right-hander gave up a two-out, two run double that tied the game, then saw the eventual winning run cross the plate on an error by third baseman Brian Anderson. The outing snapped a nine-contest, nine-inning scoreless streak for Williams, during which he had racked up eight saves. Despite Wednesday's outcome, Williams ranks among the league's top closers with a 1.99 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 41:17 K:BB and 18 saves over 31.2 innings.

Hudson allowed a hit and two walks while striking out two over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Pirates.

Evan Phillips had pitched three straight days, so the save chance went to Hudson, who nearly made a mess of it. He loaded the bases with no outs, only to retire Henry Davis, Carlos Santana and Jack Suwinski in order to end the threat. Hudson has covered three innings and posted a 5:3 K:BB without allowing a run since returning from a torn ACL. The right-hander figures to be part of the Dodgers' high-leverage mix in the second half of the season.

Robertson struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

Robertson picked up his second save in as many days with a clean inning. He's kept runs off the board in 10 of his last 11 appearances while going 3-for-4 in save chances in that span. The 38-year-old is at a 1.88 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 45:11 K:BB, 13 saves and six holds through 38.1 innings overall.

Doval struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Mariners.

Doval gave up four runs over one inning in a non-save situation his last time out, so it was positive to see him back in form Wednesday. He's 25-for-27 in save chances this season, and his steady pitching earned him a spot on the National League's All-Star roster. He's pitched to a 2.70 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 55:17 K:BB over 40 innings, though six of the 12 runs he's allowed this year have come over his last 10 appearances.

Rucker (2-1) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Wednesday against the Brewers. He didn't allow a hit and walked three.

Rucker wasn't his sharpest, as he needed 35 pitches to cover two frames and issued the three free passes, though he still managed his first win since April 11 when the Cubs scored three times in the top of the ninth to earn a 4-3 victory. The righty was sent to Triple-A Iowa at the end of May due to some struggles, but he's been good since returning in early June, allowing just one run across 11.1 innings.

Alzolay worked a perfect ninth inning to record the save in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Brewers. He struck out two.

It didn't look like Alzolay would be needed Wednesday, but the Cubs hung three runs on Devin Williams in the top of the ninth inning to take a 4-3 lead. Alzolay then made quick work of the Brewers in the bottom half, striking out the first two hitters before getting Christian Yelich to fly out. The righty blew his first save of the season a night earlier, but he's been good overall with a 2.41 ERA and 42 strikeouts across 37.1 innings this year. He should remain Chicago's top closing option moving forward.

Hudson was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

Hudson struggled in his major-league debut with the Dodgers last month but is getting another shot. He's been dominant this season with OKC, holding a 1.83 ERA and 57:15 K:BB over 34.1 innings.

The Pirates recalled Ramirez from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.

Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A on June 20 after allowing five earned runs in 2.1 innings across his last three appearances. Since then, he's thrown four scoreless innings in the minors and has now re-earned a spot in the Pirates' bullpen. Luis Ortiz was optioned to Indianapolis in a corresponding move.

Miami outrighted Villalobos to Double-A Pensacola on Wednesday.

Villalobos was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Monday and passed through waivers unclaimed. The 26-year-old reliever has yet to make his MLB debut.
