Saalfrank (2-1) struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the win over the Giants on Tuesday.

Saalfrank was down over the weekend due to left shoulder fatigue that prompted imaging, but it appears nothing concerning was found, as the reliever was able to return after a few days off. Saalfrank ended up with the win after pitching a clean top of the ninth inning, after the Diamondbacks walked it off in their half of the frame. He's been part of a closer committee late in the season, picking up three saves and five holds since the start of August. Overall, Saalfrank has a 1.33 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB through 27 innings this season.

Blubaugh struck out seven and scattered two hits and one walk over three scoreless innings in his start during Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Rangers. He didn't factor into the decision in the victory.

Called upon to make his second start of the season in what was essentially a bullpen game for the Astros, Blubaugh was electric out of the gate, striking out the first four batters he faced on his way to racking up an eye-popping 21 called or swinging strikes on only 50 pitches before giving way to Colton Gordon. Blubaugh has been outstanding in September, working 11 consecutive scoreless innings with 16 strikeouts and four walks. The rookie carries a 2.16 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 32:7 K:BB across 25 innings this season. He'll likely shift back to the bullpen temporarily but could be called upon when the Astros next require a fifth starter during the final series of the regular season versus the Angels.

Henriquez allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and no walks while striking out one over 1.1 innings to earn the save in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Rockies.

Henriquez entered the game with two outs in the eighth inning after Michael Petersen let Colorado get on the board. In the ninth, Henriquez also ran into some trouble, but he had just enough wiggle room to close out his first save since July 22. It appears the Marlins simply wanted to get the right-hander some work, as nominal top ninth-inning option Calvin Faucher should have been available Tuesday. Henriquez has mostly worked as a setup man this year, earning seven saves and 24 holds while pitching to a 2.43 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 91:24 K:BB over 66.2 innings. Prior to this game, he had not allowed an earned run since July 27 versus the Brewers.

O'Brien picked up the save in Tuesday's 3-0 win against the Reds, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

With JoJo Romero handling the eighth against the bottom of Cincy's order, O'Brien was entrusted with a three-run lead in the ninth and made quick work of the Reds' 2-3-4 hitters, needing just nine pitches to lock down his fifth save of the year. It marked the right-hander's third save in his last five appearances. The 30-year-old sports a 2.08 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 41:20 K:BB across 43.1 innings this season.

Akin allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless inning to earn a save against the White Sox on Tuesday.

Akin gave up a one-out single to Chase Meidroth before striking out the last two batters he faced to close out the 8-7 win. It was Akin's sixth save in nine chances since the start of August. During that span, he's produced a 3.15 ERA while also adding four holds. For the year, Akin owns a 3.20 ERA with a 56:31 K:BB and six saves through 59 innings.

Hoffman recorded two outs, both by strikeout, to earn a save against the Rays on Tuesday. He gave up a walk and a hit but was not charged with a run.

Hoffman entered a 6-4 game with a runner on third and one out in the ninth inning. The inherited runner scored on an RBI single by Brandon Lowe before Hoffman walked Junior Caminero, but the right-hander rallied to strike out the final two batters he faced. It was Hoffman's 31st save in 38 chances and his first conversion since Sept. 2. He's given up one run over his last 7.2 innings and now owns a 4.64 ERA with an 83:23 K:BB through 64 frames.

Taylor (groin) will be available out of the bullpen for Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Jack Ankony of SI.com reports.

Taylor hasn't pitched since suffering a groin strain during Wednesday's game versus the Rays. After coming away from his bullpen session Monday without any issues, the White Sox have given him the green light to return to game action. The 23-year-old hasn't exactly been effective in his MLB debut, accumulating a 5.68 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 31.2 innings.

The Giants optioned Winn to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Winn gave up five earned runs across eight innings during his latest stint in the majors. He'll now return to Triple-A to make room for Trevor McDonald, who will provide San Francisco with a fresh bullpen arm.

Manager Pat Murphy said Tuesday that he expects Mears (back) to return from the injured list Wednesday, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Lingering back tightness sent Mears to the injured list in early September, but he now seems to be ready to return to Milwaukee's bullpen without embarking on a rehab assignment. The 28-year-old righty owns a career-best 3.42 ERA and 0.91 WHIP through 52.2 innings on the year, and he'll likely be used in high-leverage situations with Trevor Megill (elbow) is still on the shelf, although Abner Uribe remains the top option for save chances.

Megill (elbow) will be reevaluated Tuesday after feeling soreness following a live batting practice session, Jack Stern of BrewerFanatic.com reports.

Megill felt soreness in his pitching elbow after a bullpen session last week as well. Despite that setback, he was cleared to faced hitters, but given the lingering issues, his return doesn't appear imminent. Abner Uribe has recorded three saves since Megill's last appearance in late August, with Jared Koenig and Aaron Ashby also picking up one each.
