The Royals announced Aug. 15 that Marsh hasn't resumed throwing since receiving an injection for his sore right shoulder at the end of July, MLB.com reports.

Marsh has been on the shelf throughout 2025 after he first experienced shoulder tightness during his offseason throwing program and then experienced multiple setbacks over the ensuing months. The Royals are hopeful that the injection will help resolve the discomfort in his shoulder, but Marsh's hopes of contributing at any point this season appear to have been dashed. He could start throwing again in September, but the Royals' main focus seems to be ensuring that Marsh has a normal offseason and is ready to compete for a spot on the big-league pitching staff next spring.

Melton collected his first hold of the season while allowing one earned run on two hits and one walk over 1.1 innings of relief in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Royals.

After earning his third win of the season while tossing five scoreless frames against the White Sox in an Aug. 13 start, Melton has since shifted back to the bullpen. Melton will likely fill a flexible relief role for Detroit for the time being, but after tossing 12 shutout innings between his last two starts, he should rank as the top option to join the rotation if a spot opens up at some point over the final five weeks of the season.

Vargas gave up two runs on three hits and one walk in the seventh inning during Sunday's 11-4 win over the Athletics. He struck out one.

Vargas was brought on with the Mariners in possession of a commanding 11-1 lead, so his rough showing didn't play much of a factor in the outcome of the game. The right-hander will likely remain being used primarily as a middle reliever and low-leverage arm, given Vargas owns a 5.57 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB over his last 21 innings since the start of July.

Santana allowed one hit and one walk while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning Sunday against the Rockies.

Santana entered the game in the ninth inning to protect a four-run lead. He allowed a double and a walk with two outs but managed to turn in his sixth consecutive scoreless outing. Santana briefly struggled after taking over the closer role, but he has converted four of his last five save chances while striking out eight across his last 10 appearances.

Akin picked up the save Sunday against the Astros, striking out three while not allowing a baserunner across 1.2 innings.

Akin has been part of a closing committee the Orioles have deployed recently, and he was called upon Sunday to secure Baltimore's victory. He had blown his last two save opportunities, so it wasn't a guarantee Akin would continue to be a ninth-inning option. He may have pitched his way into more save chances after retiring all five of the batters he faced Sunday. Akin has a 3.12 ERA, a 47:26 K:BB and three saves in 49 innings this season.

Bernardino will serve as the Red Sox's opening pitcher for Monday's game against the Orioles, Tim Healey of The Boston Globe reports.

Bernardino will toe the rubber for his second start of the 2025 campaign, likely working one or two innings before giving way to bulk reliever Richard Fitts. Over his last 13 appearances with Boston, the lefty has allowed five hits and five walks while striking out 12 batters over 15.1 scoreless frames.

Palencia earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win at the Angels, allowing a hit and a walk over one inning with three strikeouts.

The Chicago closer worked around two baserunners to wrap his club's three-game weekend sweep in Anaheim. Palencia has been on a roll since the All-Star break, firing 13.1 frames with a 2.70 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB while converting eight of nine save chances. Across 46.2 total innings, the right-handed flamethrower has pitched to a 1.89 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 54:15 K:BB with just two blown saves.

Phillips threw a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Blue Jays. He did not record a walk or strikeout.

Calvin Faucher was unavailable after tossing 22 pitches Saturday while Ronny Henriquez retired Vladimir Guerrero for the final out of the eighth inning, so Phillips was summoned for his second save opportunity of the season and shut the door on just six pitches. He now owns five holds and two saves this season along with a 3.27 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 41:19 K:BB across 63.1 innings, and both saves have come in the last month.

Iglesias earned the save in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Mets, allowing one run on three hits in the ninth inning. He did not record a walk or strikeout.

Iglesias was tasked with protecting a two-run lead in the ninth and held on despite giving up three straight one-out singles. It marked the first time the veteran closer has allowed a run in his past 14 outings, and he's now converted 11 straight save chances dating back to July 28. On the year, he's 22-for-27 in save opportunities with a 3.95 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 58:10 K:BB across 54.2 innings.

Kerkering earned the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Nationals, allowing one run on one hit and no walks with one strikeout in the ninth inning.

With Jhoan Duran unavailable after pitching on back-to-back days, Kerkering was called on in the ninth and closed the door despite surrendering a solo homer. The 24-year-old now owns a 2.92 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 51:21 K:BB to go along with 19 holds and four saves across 49.1 innings this season.
