Vest threw a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Royals.

Vest needed just nine pitches to secure his second save of the weekend. The right-hander has allowed only two earned runs over his past 10 appearances and has now converted five straight save chances. On the season, he's 9-for-11 in save opportunities with a 1.93 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 29:9 K:BB across 28 innings.

Doval earned a four-out save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Marlins, allowing one hit and two walks without recording a strikeout while holding Miami scoreless.

Doval threw just nine strikes on 21 pitches but managed to convert his second save since being named the Giants' closer. The 27-year-old is in the midst of a strong bounce-back campaign, posting a 1.04 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB across 26 innings.

The Yankees optioned De Los Santos to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

The right-hander pitched the first two games of the series versus the Dodgers and will be sent down Sunday in favor of a fresh bullpen arm. De Los Santos has given up just four earned runs across 12 innings with the Yankees this season, but his 1.92 WHIP and 9:6 K:BB provide a less optimistic outlook.

Diaz earned the save against the Rockies on Sunday, allowing one hit while striking out three in a scoreless ninth inning.

Diaz gave up a leadoff single before striking out the next three batters to seal the win. The 31-year-old remains perfect in save chances, converting all 13 opportunities while posting a 2.22 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB across 24.1 innings.

Cousins (forearm/pectoral) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Cousins has been on the shelf for the entirety of the 2025 season after suffering a forearm strain in February. The right-hander was on the cusp of returning to action in mid-May, but he sustained a pectoral injury, which slowed his progress. Considering the amount of time Cousins has missed, he'll likely require a handful of appearances on his rehab assignment, and it's currently unclear what level of the Yankees' minor-league system he'll report to.

The Dodgers recalled Davis from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

Davis will join the Los Angeles bullpen as a replacement for right-hander Luis Garcia (adductor), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. The 28-year-old righty has made three relief appearances for the Dodgers but has otherwise spent the entire 2025 campaign at Oklahoma City, where he's turned in a 5.75 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 26:11 K:BB across 20.1 innings.

The Dodgers placed Garcia on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right adductor strain.

According to Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register, Garcia sustained the injury during the Dodgers' series against the Guardians earlier in the week, which explains why the right-hander went unused in wins Friday and Saturday over the Yankees. Los Angeles recalled right-hander Noah Davis from Triple-A Oklahoma City to replace Garcia in the bullpen.

Baker earned the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the White Sox, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

With both Felix Bautista and Seranthony Dominguez seemingly unavailable, Baker was tasked with protecting a one-run lead in the ninth inning Sunday. The right-hander made quick work of the White Sox, needing just 13 pitches to pick up his first save this season. The 30-year-old Baker has been solid in a setup role this year, posting a 2.77 ERA with a 0.92 WHIP and 33 strikeouts across 26 innings.

Chapman earned the save in Sunday's 3-1 win over Atlanta, logging a strikeout and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning.

Chapman has allowed just one run while striking out 10 in his last eight innings, and he improved to 9-for-10 in save chances this season. Overall, the 37-year-old southpaw sports a 1.88 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP and 32:9 K:BB across 24 innings this year.

The Diamondbacks optioned McGough to Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

McGough will give up his spot in the bullpen to righty Cristian Mena, who was recalled from Reno in a corresponding move. During his two-week run with Arizona, McGough made six appearances and gave up five earned runs on five hits and five walks over five innings.
