Finnegan threw a clean ninth inning to notch the save in Friday's 6-5 win over the Angels. He struck out two.

Finnegan nailed down his 23rd save of the season, and he appears to have quickly assumed closing duties since landing with Detroit. The hard-throwing right-hander now has three saves in as many appearances for the Tigers, and he's fired five consecutive scoreless outings dating back to his time with the Nationals. Will Vest hasn't converted a save since July 20 in Texas, so his fantasy arrow seems to be pointing down overall.

Detmers (3-3) took the loss and the blown save Friday against Detroit, allowing three runs on one hit and two walks in one-third of an inning. He struck out one.

It was the fourth blown save of the season for Detmers, who has struggled quite a bit lately after going without an earned run allowed over 13 innings back in June. While the left-hander does have a strong 1.06 WHIP and 20:2 K:BB over his last 16 frames, he has a 5.63 ERA during that span since the beginning of July. Detmers' recent shortcomings could open the door for Andrew Chafin and/or Luis Garcia to handle more high-leverage work going forward.

Akin earned the save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Athletics, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Akin was summoned to protect a one-run lead in the ninth and needed just 11 pitches to seal the win. Since returning from a shoulder injury, the southpaw has logged four scoreless outings in five appearances while converting both of his save chances. He owns a 3.21 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 41:22 K:BB with two saves and 12 holds across 42 innings and may be emerging as the Orioles' top option for save opportunities.

Pirates manager Don Kelly said that Ashcraft will start Saturday's game against the Reds, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.

Ashcraft will be making his second start of the season after posting a 3.24 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 33.1 innings with the Pirates while primarily serving as a middle reliever. The 25-year-old righty had been starting at Triple-A Indianapolis before being called up in late May, but since then, he's maxed out at three innings at the big-league level on three occasions. Additionally, Ashcraft will be taking the mound on three days' rest, so the Pirates are unlikely to let the right-hander work deep enough into Saturday's start to qualify for a win. With a strong showing against the Reds, Ashcraft could stick around in the rotation on a more permanent basis.

Santana earned the save in Friday's 3-2 win over the Reds, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Santana was called on to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning and needed just eight pitches to close it out. It was an encouraging rebound after the 29-year-old blew his first save chance since taking over as the Pirates' closer Wednesday. On the season, he's 7-for-9 in save opportunities with a 2.52 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 40:11 K:BB across 50 innings.

Manager Rob Thomson said Friday that he expects Robertson to join the active roster Sunday, Charlotte Varnes of The Athletic reports.

Robertson reported to Triple-A Lehigh Valley after signing a one-year deal with the Phillies on July 21. He's had mixed results with the IronPigs, surrendering three runs in one inning during two of his six minor-league outings while going without an earned run allowed during his other four. Despite his inconsistent performance, the 40-year-old veteran will nab a spot in Philadelphia's bullpen and is likely ticketed for a middle-relief role.

Martin (calf) threw a bullpen session Friday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Martin is working through a left calf strain that landed him on the 15-day injured list July 21. He has progressed enough in his recovery to throw bullpen sessions, and a rehab assignment could be the next step in his rehab program. Martin has a 2.36 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 12 holds and 36:6 K:BB across 34.1 innings this season.

The Rockies placed Chivilli on the restricted list Friday.

The team hasn't provided any details as to why Chivilli was moved to the restricted list, but some clarity may come in the near future. The 23-year-old currently carries a 7.29 ERA and 1.76 WHIP through 42 innings in the majors this year and isn't likely to receive many high-leverage opportunities once he's activated.

The Rays designated Seabold for assignment Friday, Ryan Bass of FanDuel Sports Network Sun reports.

Seabold will lose his spot on the 40-man roster to make room for Tristan Peters. The 29-year-old has pitched 61 innings for Triple-A Durham this season, posting a 6.49 ERA. Assuming he clears waivers, he could stay within the Rays organization.

Heuer was recalled from Triple-A Toledo on Friday.

Heuer is set to make his Tigers debut after being traded from Texasa to Detroit on July 31. The 28-year-old appeared in 35 games at Triple-A Round Rock before the trade, logging a 3.43 ERA over 39.1 innings. Luke Jackson was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
