Shane Drohan RP | MIL
Brewers' Shane Drohan: Handed another start
Drohan is slated to start Sunday's game against the Rockies at Coors Field.
Drohan will be making his second straight turn through the rotation after most recently striking out five batters while yielding two earned runs on four hits and two walks across four innings in a start Monday against the Giants. Since he had previously been working out of the bullpen, Drohan was lifted after tossing 68 pitches in Monday's start, but he should have a little bit longer leash Sunday.

Raisel Iglesias RP | ATL
Braves' Raisel Iglesias: Remains perfect in save chances
Iglesias notched a save in Friday's win over the Pirates. He tossed a scoreless ninth inning while allowing a hit and a walk, striking out one.
Iglesias has been one of the best closers in the majors this season and has gone 12-for-12 in save chances thus far. This time, he needed 19 pitches (12 strikes) to get the job done while holding a three-run lead, though he did allow two hitters to get on base. Iglesias has given up just two runs all season long, posting a 0.92 ERA and 0.97 WHIP across 19.2 innings in 19 outings in 2026.

Jacob Latz RP | TEX
Rangers' Jacob Latz: Notches two-inning save
Latz notched his ninth save of the season in Friday's win over the Guardians. He tossed two scoreless innings, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out three.
Latz entered the game in the eighth inning and recorded the final six outs while throwing 21 of his 35 pitches for strikes. He has a tight grip on the closer role and has recorded a save in each of his last four trips to the mound, a span in which he's posted an 8:1 K:BB across 5.1 innings. On the season, Latz has gone 9-for-11 in save chances.

Brian Fitzpatrick RP | MIL
Brewers' Brian Fitzpatrick: Slated for MRI
Fitzpatrick will undergo an MRI on his left elbow Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Fitzpatrick pitched a shutout sixth inning Friday against Colorado, but he felt a pop in his elbow while throwing warm-up pitches ahead of the seventh inning and was in a considerable amount of pain as he walked off the field. More about the severity of his injury will be known once the Brewers get his test results back, but there seems to be a good chance the 26-year-old southpaw will require a trip to the injured list.

Trevor Megill RP | MIL
Brewers' Trevor Megill: Earns win despite blown save
Megill (1-2) earned the win after blowing a save in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning win over the Rockies, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk with one strikeout in the ninth inning.
Megill was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning but coughed it up before escaping in a 5-5 tie, ultimately picking up the win after the Brewers scored four runs in the top of the 10th. It was a discouraging outing for the 32-year-old, as he entered the contest having converted four straight saves during a stretch of seven scoreless appearances dating back to May 15. For the year, he's 6-for-8 in save chances with a 4.70 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB across 23 innings.

Antonio Senzatela RP | COL
Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Blows save Friday
Senzatela blew the save in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning loss to the Brewers, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and no walks with four strikeouts over 1.2 innings.
Senzatela was aiming for a two-inning save after striking out the side in the eighth, but he unraveled for four runs in the ninth and departed with a 5-3 deficit. The 31-year-old entered June with a case for the Rockies' closer role, but he's now been charged with blown saves in back-to-back appearances to open the month. For the year, he still owns an impressive 1.98 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB across 36.1 innings while tallying three saves and two holds.

Spencer Miles RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Spencer Miles: Set for bulk-relief duty
Miles will work as a bulk reliever during Saturday's game against the Orioles, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Miles gave up six earned runs in just three innings while working as a traditional starter last Sunday on the road in Baltimore, so the Blue Jays will move him back into a bulk-relief role for a rematch with the Orioles at Rogers Centre. Right-hander Braydon Fisher will open the game for Toronto, likely working the first inning or two before handing the ball over to Miles, who owns a 2.37 ERA and 1.05 WHIP as a reliever this season.

Braydon Fisher RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Braydon Fisher: Working as opener Saturday
Fisher will serve as Toronto's opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Orioles, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Fisher has been one of the Blue Jays' most effective high-leverage arms this season, posting a 2.62 ERA and 0.93 WHIP across 34.1 innings. The Blue Jays will move him up to the first inning Saturday for what will be his fourth opener assignment of the season. Spencer Miles is likely to take over as a bulk reliever behind Fisher at some point during the first or second inning.

Travis Adams RP | MIN
Twins' Travis Adams: Earns second save
Adams earned the save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Royals, allowing one run on two hits in the ninth inning. He did not record a walk or a strikeout.
Adams was called upon with a three-run lead in the ninth inning and closed things out despite allowing a run. The 26-year-old has now converted both of his save chances this season, though he owns an unsightly 8.25 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB across 12 innings with the Twins.

Lake Bachar RP | MIA
Marlins' Lake Bachar: Opening Saturday
Bachar will serve as the Marlins' opening pitcher during Saturday's game against the Rays, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Bachar pitched 2.2 shutout innings when the Marlins last relied on him to work as an opener Tuesday in Washington, so they'll give him another opening assignment during Saturday's contest. It's unknown whether Miami will use a bulk reliever behind Bachar or treat the game as a bullpen day.
