Young has allowed four runs in his last five innings.

In his last six appearances, Young has alternated between giving up runs and scoreless efforts. He's given up nine hits and five walks while striking out just two in the aforementioned stretch. For the year, the southpaw has a 6.58 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 43:27 K:BB across 52 innings between Cleveland and Arizona, almost exclusively as a low-leverage reliever.

Perez was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Saturday. He appeared in Sunday's 11-1 loss to Milwaukee, allowing a hit and striking out one in two scoreless innings.

Perez previously made one appearance for Cleveland in August. The 24-year-old will look to stay around with the big club longer this time, although he'll likely be limited to a multi-inning relief role. Daniel Johnson was sent down in a corresponding move.

Smith allowed a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth inning Sunday, earning a save over the Marlins.

Smith allowed leadoff triple to Jesus Sanchez and found himself in a first-and-third jam with just one out. He wiggled out of the threat and has now converted 32-of-37 save chances this season, including nine of his last 10. The veteran closer lowered his ERA to 3.66 through 59 frames.

Finnegan struck out one batter over 1.2 perfect innings and earned a save over Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Finnegan was called on to protect a 6-2 lead and had no issue finishing off the game. He's converted his last seven save opportunities dating back to Aug. 7 with a 1.23 ERA during that span. Finnegan has nine saves with a 60:28 K:BB on the year.

Wilson (2-7) allowed five runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.1 innings and took a loss against Washington on Sunday.

All five runs against Wilson came via the long ball, and he failed to record a strikeout in the subpar outing. He allowed solo homers to Luis Garcia and Alex Avila followed by a big three-run shot by Lane Thomas. The 23-year-old righty has given up 12 runs through 15.1 innings (7.04 ERA) over his last three outings. Wilson is now sporting a 4.97 ERA with a 41:18 K:BB through 67 frames. He's lined up to take the mound in Miami next.

Lamet (2-4) took the loss in Sunday's 8-0 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing one run on one hit and two walks with one strikeout in two-thirds of an inning.

Lamet was deployed earlier than expected when starter Blake Snell went down with an injury after just 11 pitches. He entered a scoreless game in the fourth inning as San Diego's third pitcher and retired the first two Dodgers he faced before surrendering a Corey Seager home run and two walks, prompting his removal. San Diego escaped the jam but couldn't touch Max Scherzer all game, giving Lamet the loss. The Padres will need him to pitch better than his 7.36 September ERA down the stretch run if he's going to have a role in meaningful games.

Neris (2-6) took the loss Sunday versus Colorado. He allowed two runs on two hits in one inning.

The right-hander allowed a single to Elias Diaz and a home run to Garrett Hampson in the seventh inning, and Philadelphia wasn't able to recover from it. Neris saw his 10.1-inning scoreless streak come to a close -- during that span, he allowed five hits and four walks while striking out 17. He's pitched to a 3.45 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 82:25 K:BB in 62.2 innings this year. Neris remains in a setup role behind Ian Kennedy after the former lost the closer job in June.

Estevez allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 5-4 win over Philadelphia.

For the first time in four appearances, Estevez was able to keep runs off the board. He's still gone 3-for-4 in save chances in that span despite the somewhat unsteady performance. The right-hander owns a 4.58 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 54:18 K:BB across 53 innings this season while notching seven saves, five blown saves and 15 holds in 55 appearances.

Lowther (0-2) allowed seven runs on four hits and three walks while striking out four in two-plus innings, taking the loss Sunday versus Toronto.

The Toronto offense spared no expense in what ended up being a 22-7 game. Lowther's biggest mistakes resulted in a grand slam by Lourdes Gurriel and a solo home run by Vladimir Guerrero. The southpaw also put Gurriel aboard with a walk in the third inning before Spenser Watkins took over on the mound. Lowther owns a 9.92 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB across his first 16.1 big-league innings. Despite the struggles, he could remain in the rotation since Baltimore has nothing but pride to play for at this point in the season. He lines up for a road start in Boston next weekend.

Feyereisen (4-4) allowed a run on three walks in two-thirds of an inning, taking the loss versus Detroit on Sunday.

The right-hander got the initial runner in the 11th inning out on a fielder's choice, which made his bases-loaded walk to Robbie Grossman count as an earned run when Victor Reyes crossed the plate as the winning run. Feyereisen has given up four runs on three hits and four walks across his last 2.1 innings in three appearances. He now has a 3.21 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 43:30 K:BB across 47.2 innings this season while logging three saves, 12 holds and three blown saves.
