Fairbanks earned the save in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Called upon to protect a one-run lead, the right-hander locked down his 27th save of the season with ease, continuing his bounce-back form after a rocky stretch in which he allowed six earned runs over seven appearances. Since then, Fairbanks has gone four straight outings without allowing a hit, converting three saves in that span. The 31-year-old now sports a 2.98 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 58:18 K:BB across 57.1 innings this season.

Seymour (4-2) earned the win Wednesday against the Blue Jays, allowing one unearned run on four hits and one walk while striking out three over seven innings.

The left-hander was sharp throughout, with Toronto's lone run coming in the fourth inning after a defensive miscue on a potential double-play ball extended the frame. Seymour has been hurt by poor defense lately, as he's surrendered 13 runs over his last four starts despite only four being earned. He's been excellent during that stretch, pitching to a 1.69 ERA with a 21:6 K:BB across 21.1 innings. Wednesday's outing also marked the longest start of Seymour's short career, surpassing his previous high of 5.1 innings from his previous start. The 26-year-old is slated to face Baltimore in his next outing.

Estevez (back) picked up the save Wednesday against the Mariners, allowing one run on three hits with no strikeouts or walks in the ninth inning.

After leaving Sunday's win over Philadelphia due to mild back tightness, Estevez returned to action Wednesday but was shaky in collecting his MLB-leading 40th save. The earned run was his first allowed since Aug. 13 versus Washington, and the three hits given up were his most since July 3 in Seattle. Estevez has still produced a 2.53 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 52:22 K:BB over 64 innings, and the veteran right-hander appears to be locked in as the Royals' closer to close out his excellent campaign.

Lord came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 9-4 loss to Atlanta, giving up two runs on six hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out four.

The right-hander blanked Atlanta for five frames and got handed a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the fifth, but Lord ran into trouble when he came out for the sixth in an eventual four-run frame that swung the game to the visitors. After a rough ending to August, Lord has been much sharper in September, posting a 3.18 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 15:5 K:BB over three starts and 17 innings. He's scheduled to make his final start of 2025 on the road next week in a rematch with Atlanta.

Martin (hand) hit a batter but allowed no other baserunners during an inning of relief in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Astros.

Martin experienced some tingling in his right hand during his previous relief appearance in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Mets, but a couple days off was all he needed for the issue to be resolved. The veteran righty made quick work of the Astros in the ninth inning Tuesday, needing just seven pitches to record three outs.

The Brewers reinstated Mears (back) from the injured list Wednesday.

Mears will rejoin the Brewers' bullpen following a minimum-length stay on the injured list. The 28-year-old should be a candidate for holds during the final week-plus of the regular season, while most of the save chances will likely go to Abner Uribe until Trevor Megill (elbow) returns. Jose Quintana (calf) was placed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Akin earned the save in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the White Sox, allowing one hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

Akin is up to seven saves on the season, including three in the last seven days, as he continues to work as Baltimore's primary closer. Overall, Akin sports a 3.15 ERA with a 1.37 WHIP and 56 strikeouts through 60 innings this year.

Finnegan (groin) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Finnegan has missed most of September with a right adductor strain but has been cleared to test things out in a game setting. Given his brief absence, it could be the only rehab appearance Finnegan needs before returning to the Tigers' active roster. He's made 12 scoreless appearances and recorded four saves since being acquired by Detroit at the trade deadline.

Atlanta claimed Ragsdale off waivers from the Orioles on Wednesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Ragsdale had an inauspicious major-league debut with the Orioles over the weekend, allowing eight runs over three innings. He found himself jettisoned from Baltimore's 40-man roster after that, but the righty has landed on his feet with Atlanta. Ragsdale will report to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that Harrison will start Saturday's game against the Rays in Tampa, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Harrison will move into the rotation as a replacement for rookie lefty Payton Tolle, whom Cora said would be used in the bullpen for the remainder of the season. After getting called up from Triple-A Worcester last week, Harrison made his Red Sox debut out of the bullpen Sept. 10 in Sacramento, striking out two over three scoreless innings. Though he had been serving in a starting role for Worcester, Harrison hadn't covered five frames in an outing since Aug. 19, so the Red Sox may not be counting on the lefty working deep into his start Saturday.
