Josh Hader RP | HOU
Brewers' Josh Hader: Records two-inning save Tuesday
Hader struck out three over a pair of clean innings to earn his fourth save of the season Tuesday against the Indians.
The bullpen had to step up after starter Wade Miley (oblique) went down early on, and it was Hader who stepped up to provide his fourth multi-inning outing in his last five. He remains an elite source of strikeouts and now has an otherworldly 19.4 K/9 on the season. Though Corey Knebel (hamstring) is likely to be activated soon, Hader should remain a workhorse for Milwaukee and could even be in the mix for saves for the foreseeable future.

Brad Boxberger RP | CHC
Diamondbacks' Brad Boxberger: Blows first save of year
Boxberger gave up a game-tying home run in the ninth for a blown save Tuesday, striking out two and walking zero in the extra-innings affair.
Boxberger came on with a one-run lead, and after striking out Chase Utley, he served up a solo shot to Enrique Hernandez. It was the first blown save on the year for Boxberger, and the second home run he's surrendered through 16 innings. The right-hander maintains a solid 2.25 ERA and .217 batting average against, although the eight walks are slightly high. Boxberger's 11 saves are good for third in the majors.

Hector Neris RP | HOU
Phillies' Hector Neris: Records seventh save
Neris recorded the final two outs of the game, both strikeouts, to earn his seventh save of the season Tuesday against the Giants.
Neris entered the game with a two-run lead and the bases empty attempting to preserve the lead for the Phillies, and he successfully converted his seventh save in nine opportunities this season. He bounced back from an ugly blown save Sunday against the Nationals, and remains the only Phillies' reliever to record a save this season.

Carl Edwards RP | DET
Cubs' Carl Edwards Jr.: Records first win of season Tuesday
Edwards (1-0) grabbed the win Tuesday against the Marlins, tossing a scoreless inning of relief with one walk and three strikeouts.
Edwards continued his outstanding start to the season, as he now has 30 strikeouts over 17 innings with an elite 0.53 ERA. The righty is on the fantasy radar due to his strong ratios alone, so any wins he picks up along the way are an added bonus. Edwards has additional value in leagues that count holds, as he has eight of those as well.

Mets' Hansel Robles: Sent for X-rays
Robles will undergo X-rays after suffering a right knee injury Tuesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Robles exited Tuesday's loss to the Reds with the knee issue after throwing 19 pitches and recording only one out. The 27-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now as the severity of the injury remains unclear.

Mets' Hansel Robles: Exits with apparent injury
Robles exited Tuesday's game against the Reds with an apparent injury, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
The only out recorded by Robles was a sacrifice bunt by Reds reliever Wandy Peralta and he allowed three hits and a walk, and was charged with two earned runs. The specifics of the injury remain unclear at this point.

Silvino Bracho RP | CIN
Diamondbacks' Silvino Bracho: Returns to majors
Bracho was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.
With Braden Shipley (elbow) being placed on the disabled list, Bracho will return to the big club. Bracho has tossed six innings over four games for the Diamondbacks this season. In that time he's allowed one run on three hits and three walks while striking out 10 batters.

Derek Law RP | ARI
Giants' Derek Law: Recalled from Triple-A
Law was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Although he's returning to the majors, it's unlikely that Law will see many high-leverage situations. Prior to being sent to Triple-A Sacramento, Law had given up seven runs on 10 hits and four walks over 6.1 innings. He didn't show much improvement with Sacramento, as he allowed nine runs over eight innings of work.

Brock Stewart RP | LAD
Dodgers' Brock Stewart: Sent back to Triple-A
Stewart was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
Stewart will head back to the minors in order to clear a roster spot for Tuesday's starter, Rich Hill (finger), who was activated from the 10-day disabled list in a corresponding move. The 26-year-old owns a 2.41 ERA across four starts (18.2 innings) with Oklahoma City this season. He'll remain one of the team's top options for a promotion when additional bullpen help -- or potentially a spot starter -- is needed in the future.

Luke Jackson RP | SEA
Braves' Luke Jackson: Outrighted to Triple-A
Jackson was outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
Jackson will report to Gwinnett after being cast of the Braves' 40-man roster. The 26-year-old made two appearances for the big club this season, allowing two runs across 1.1 innings of relief. He'll continue to serve as organizational pitching depth in the minors.
