Miller picked up the save Sunday against Colorado, allowing two hits and one walk with one strikeout over a scoreless ninth inning.

Miller has served as a fill-in closer while A.J. Puk (elbow) and Justin Martinez (shoulder) spend time on the injured list. While Miller has gone 3-for-4 in save opportunities since landing ninth-inning duties, it hasn't been pretty. Miller had to escape a bases-loaded jam to secure his third save and loaded the bases again Sunday with one out before retiring Brenton Doyle and Michael Toglia to secure the save. Despite his struggles, Miller should remain Arizona's closer until Martinez returns, which looks like it'll be Friday for the start of a series against St. Louis.

Romano struck out three batters in a perfect inning while earning his fifth save of the season in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Pirates.

Romano threw nine of 11 pitches for strikes and quickly put away Pittsburgh's No. 3 through 5 hitters to close out the win. After blowing two of his first three save chances while registering a 13.50 ERA through his first 11 appearances this season, Romano has since righted the ship. He's converted four straight save opportunities while delivering eight consecutive scoreless innings, and Romano should have a decent amount of security in the closer's role for the foreseeable future after Jose Alvarado -- who leads the Phillies with seven saves -- was suspended 80 games Sunday for testing positive for a banned substance.

Walker struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

This was Walker's third consecutive scoreless inning since his blown save versus the Twins on May 11. The right-hander got through his outing Sunday on a tidy seven pitches (six strikes) to earn his eighth save in 10 chances this season. Walker also has a hold, but he's been less dominant in 2025 than he was in 2024, posting a 5.29 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB over his first 17 innings this year. Walker's unsteady pitching has almost all been since April 20, which has opened the door for Camilo Doval to rejoin the closer conversation for the Giants, which has the ninth inning looking like a two-man committee for now.

Vest tossed a scoreless inning with one strikeout to record the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.

Despite not allowing a hit or a walk, Vest needed 24 pitches to retire three batters, but he still managed to earn his fifth save of the year in seven chances. The veteran righty is strengthening his hold on the top closer role in Detroit, as he now has a sparkling 1.66 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 25 strikeouts across 21.2 innings. Tommy Kahnle, who has five saves of his own this season, worked a clean eighth inning Sunday and will continue to be in the mix for saves moving forward.

Megill collected the save in Sunday's 5-2 win against the Twins, pitching a clean inning with two strikeouts.

The Milwaukee right-hander showed no signs of trouble in this 14-pitch outing, firing 11 strikes to smoothly collect his 27th career save. Megill is riding a streak of seven consecutive scoreless appearances, notching four saves with an 8:3 K:BB over six innings during that span. Through 13.1 total frames, the 31-year-old has pitched to a 2.70 ERA and 17:7 K:BB across 17 appearances.

Yarbrough is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Rangers, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

The left-hander last pitched May 11 in Sacramento, so he'll be taking the mound Tuesday with a bit of extra rest. Yarbrough allowed two runs over five frames in that outing while picking up his first win of the season, and he's been a quality swingman for the Yankees early on in 2025 with a 3.70 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB across 24.1 innings.

Estevez picked up the save in Sunday's 2-1 victory over St. Louis, allowing a hit in a scoreless inning with one strikeout.

The Kansas City closer worked around a Brendan Donovan double and efficiently secured the win on 12 pitches, eight of which were strikes. Estevez has been a reliable reliever over his last 10 appearances, conceding just one run while pitching to an 8:1 K:BB across 9.2 innings. The 32-year-old has gone a perfect 8-for-8 on save opportunities during that span as he maintains his firm grip on the closer job over Lucas Erceg.

Hader earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Rangers, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

Hader faced the bottom of the Rangers' lineup and retired them in order to remain a perfect 11-for-11 in save chances this season. The southpaw has allowed runs in just two of his past 10 appearances, both coming in non-save situations. On the year, he owns a 1.80 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 29:5 K:BB across 20 innings.

Martin was removed from Sunday's game against the Astros due to right shoulder discomfort, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander departed after throwing just one pitch Sunday, which is the same thing that happened when elbow tightness forced him from Tuesday's game versus Colorado. It could be encouraging that Martin didn't aggravate the same injury, but the fact a 38-year-old is dealing with different arm issues in such a short window is worrying in its own right.

The Dodgers selected Trivino's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

The right-hander will join the MLB roster just a week after inking a minor-league deal with the Dodgers since Kirby Yates (hamstring) is headed to the injured list. Trivino posted a 5.84 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB over 12.1 innings with San Francisco before being cut loose in early May and latching on with Los Angeles.
