Rogers yielded four runs on three hits and a walk in Sunday's extra-inning win over Detroit. He struck out three batters and was charged with his third blown save.

Rogers had a three-run cushion in the ninth inning but served up a grand slam to Jake Rogers. He would've taken the loss if not for the Twins tying the game and eventually winning in the 10th. The 30-year-old southpaw was charged with his first blown save since early May and his third in 11 chances this season. He's now sporting a 3.35 ERA and a 54:8 K:BB after Sunday's ugly outing.

Bukauskas (1-2) took the loss in Sunday's 7-4 defeat at the hands of the Dodgers, allowing three runs on two hits and a walk in one-third of an inning.

Bukauskas came in for the ninth in a 4-4 game and surrendered a single, sacrifice, intentional walk and game-ending Max Muncy home run to take the loss. The rookie enters the break with 12.2 innings across 16 appearances and unsightly 9.24 ERA but may receive additional opportunities on a tanking Diamondbacks team.

Pivetta (7-4) was tagged with the loss Sunday against the Phillies after allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits and two walks while fanning four across four innings.

Pivetta was far from his best Sunday, as he needed 76 pitches just to complete four frames and left the game with Boston down 5-1. It's worth noting he ends the first half of the season having allowed at least three earned runs in four of his last six outings.

Jansen (1-2) won Sunday's 7-4 victory over the Diamondbacks, allowing one hit in one inning.

Jansen pitched a scoreless ninth to preserve a 4-4 tie and became the winner when Max Muncy walked it off in the bottom of the inning. It was the closer's fourth appearance of July. Jansen concludes the first half with excellent marks of 21 saves, 1.24 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 41:22 K:BB ratio.

Foster picked up the save Sunday against the Orioles after tossing a scoreless two-thirds of an inning.

The White Sox used their regular closer, Liam Hendriks, in the ninth inning so other relievers had to be called on when the game went to extra frames. Foster was credited with the save after recording the final two outs of the game, but he's not slated to see any late-inning work unless it's absolutely necessary. He got off to an impressive start to the season before the wheels came off, though he seems to be turning things around with back-to-back scoreless outings for the first time since mid-May.

Hendriks (4-2) earned the win in relief Sunday against the Orioles after allowing two runs on two hits across one inning, striking out three. He was also charged with a blown save.

This was far from Hendriks' best outing, as he entered the ninth inning with a 4-2 lead and couldn't hold on to get the save. Instead, the White Sox scored three runs in the top of the 10th, and that offensive explosion ended up giving Hendriks his fourth win of the campaign. The closer blew a save for the first time since June 11 and has gone 23-for-26 in save chances this season. Even after this poor outing, his role as the White Sox's closer is unquestioned.

The Diamondbacks optioned Weems to Triple-A Reno on Sunday, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports.

Weems was one of several Arizona pitchers battered in Saturday's 22-1 loss to the Dodgers, as he retired just one batter while allowing five runs on three hits and two walks. The reliever gave up two runs in an inning over his other appearance with Arizona following his July 6 call-up, so he didn't make a compelling case to stick around on the 26-man active roster.

Green (3-5) allowed four runs on four hits and took a loss against the Astros on Sunday. He recorded just one out.

Things unraveled quickly for the Yankees after entering the ninth inning with a 7-2 lead. Green allowed two inherited to runners to score and eventually served up a walkoff, three-run blast to Jose Altuve. His season ERA spiked to 2.89 through 46.2 innings. He had turned in 6.1 straight scoreless innings prior to Sunday's outing. Between Green and Aroldis Chapman's recent struggles, the Yankees enter the All-Star break with some big question marks in the bullpen.

Hader (3-2) allowed two runs on two hits and a walk Sunday, taking a loss against the Reds. He struck out two batters.

Hader found himself in a bases-loaded jam with two outs in the ninth inning and coughed up a two-run single to Nick Castellanos. After allowing one run in his previous 19 outings, the 27-year-old lefty gave up three runs in two weekend appearances against Cincinnati and was charged with the loss in both. Still, he owns a strong 63:13 K:BB and 1.49 ERA this season.

Pardinho (elbow) has made two appearances for the Blue Jays' rookie-level Florida Complex League club since being assigned to the affiliate June 28, covering three scoreless innings and striking out four.

Pardinho's 2021 debut was delayed while he worked through the final stages of his recovery from his February 2020 Tommy John surgery. Prior to sustaining the elbow injury, Pardinho had finished the 2019 campaign at Low-A Lansing, so it may not take long for him to earn a promotion to a full-season affiliate.
