McArthur (elbow) allowed three runs on three hits and no walks with one strikeout across two-thirds of an inning in a rehab appearance with Double-A Northwest Arkansas on Wednesday.

In his first game action since 2024 due to recurring right elbow injuries, McArthur got the first two outs of the seventh inning before surrendering a solo homer, then allowed the next two batters to reach and was lifted at 17 pitches (10 strikes). It's unclear how long the right-hander will spend on a rehab assignment after such a long layoff, but he still has time to rejoin the big-league bullpen before the regular season concludes.

Medina picked up a hold by throwing a perfect inning with two strikeouts in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Blue Jays.

Medina worked a scoreless seventh inning, retiring the side in order to pick up his 12th hold of the season. Since Aug. 1, the right-hander has posted a 3-0 record with a 1.62 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 25:9 K:BB and six holds over 16.2 innings. Overall, Medina has made 52 appearances with a 3.39 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 84:35 K:BB across 66.1 innings in 2026.

Pearson allowed one hit and one walk while striking out one over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

Pearson wasn't all that sharp, but he was still able to protect the three-run lead. He's riding an 11.1-inning scoreless streak, a span in which he has earned two saves and four holds while working as part of the Royals' closing committee. On the year, Pearson has a 2.03 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 35:19 K:BB through 40 innings between the Royals and the Astros. He has added four saves and five holds.

Lynch (5-5) allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings to earn the win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

This was Lynch's first win since moving into the rotation after the trade deadline. He has seen mixed results as a starter, allowing 19 runs (18 earned) over 25.2 innings across his seven starts so far, though he has gone five frames in each of his last two outings. For the season, he's at a 3.52 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 49:22 K:BB across 71.2 innings. He's projected to make his next start at Houston.

Lopez (4-4) took the loss against the Rays on Wednesday, giving up six runs on seven hits and three walks with five strikeouts in 4.2 innings.

Lopez had a solid workload of 80 pitches as he made his first big-league start since late July after recovering from a bout of left knee inflammation. In just his 12th start of the season, the right-hander tied a season high with three walks while giving up his most runs in an appearance this year. Lopez now has a 4.13 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 71:32 K:BB in 76.1 innings on the campaign. The 32-year-old is penciled in to make his next start against the Cubs next week on the road.

Montgomery earned the save Wednesday against the White Sox, striking out two in a clean ninth inning.

Montgomery extended his scoreless streak to 18.1 innings by retiring all three batters he faced Wednesday. The left-hander has now converted save opportunities in his last four outings and is without a loss since June 26, and he has a 0.62 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 15.5 K/9 in 30 games during that span.

Joyce earned the save against Boston on Wednesday, allowing a run on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

The hard-throwing right-hander wasn't sharp, tossing only 13 of his 22 pitches for strikes, but he held on for the save Wednesday. With Jordan Romano in Colorado and Kirby Yates in Pittsburgh, Joyce should continue to be viewed as the favorite for saves in the Angels' bullpen from here on out. He has a 3.18 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB with four saves (five chances) over 11.1 innings so far this year.

Myers earned the save in Wednesday's 15-14 win over Miami, allowing one hit while striking out one batter across two-thirds of an inning.

Kodai Senga was deployed for the save chance Tuesday, so Nate Lavender was initially brought out for the ninth inning Wednesday to protect the Mets' four-run lead, but he was replaced by Myers after allowing three runs. Myers gave up a single to the first batter he faced, but he bounced back by retiring the next two batters to secure the series sweep for the Mets. Since rejoining the big-league bullpen last week, Myers has fired two scoreless appearances and now has a 6.04 ERA and 1.38 WHIP over 47.2 innings this season.

Garcia earned the save in Wednesday's 9-5 win over the Guardians, allowing two hits while striking out three batters across 1.2 scoreless frames. He did not issue a walk.

The Guardians had runners on second and third with one out in the eighth, prompting the Orioles to turn to Garcia to protect the team's four-run lead. He was able to get out of the inning without yielding a run, ending the frame by striking out Patrick Bailey in three pitches. Garcia came back out for the ninth and allowed two straight singles, but he bounced back by striking out the last two batters he faced to secure the win for Baltimore. His three punchouts matched a season high he set March 30 against the Rangers, and Garcia has converted seven of 13 save chances this year, boasting a 3.03 ERA and 0.96 WHIP over 62.1 innings.

Harris gave up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to record his first career save in a 7-6 win over the Cardinals. He didn't walk or strike out a batter.

The Giants didn't look like they'd have a late lead to protect most of the game, but a six-run rally in the eighth inning flipped the script, and manager Tony Vitello decided to see if Harris was up to the task in his 14th career MLB appearance. The 27-year-old right-hander doesn't have premium velocity, but he's been effective since being promoted in early August and sports a 2.81 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB through his first 16 innings. The Giants will likely continue to mix and match with their bullpen over the final weeks -- four different relievers have collected their last four saves -- but Harris appears to have earned Vitello's trust in a high-leverage role, pocketing four holds in his last seven appearances prior to Wednesday's save.
