Rotowire
Dominguez earned the save in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Padres, striking out one and retiring both batters he faced in the ninth inning.
Dominguez entered with a four-run lead and the bases loaded after Grant Taylor struggled to open the ninth inning, and the former slammed the door on just six pitches. Since blowing a save April 16, the 31-year-old has converted five straight opportunities while keeping opponents off the board in seven of eight outings during that span. For the year, he's 8-for-10 in save chances with a 3.95 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB across 13.2 innings.

White Sox's Seranthony Dominguez: Tagged with blown save
Rotowire
Dominguez (0-1) blew his save opportunity and took the loss against the Brewers on Sunday. He allowed two runs on two hits and one walk in one-third of an inning.
The White Sox found themselves in trouble after loading the bases in the eighth inning, which prompted the team to bring in Dominguez to protect a three-run lead. He got the first batter he faced to pop out and was one out away from getting out of the frame unscathed. However, he proceeded to give up a two-run single to Luis Rengifo before yielding a three-run homer to Christian Yelich. It was a tough situation to get out of, but the White Sox signed Dominguez to a two-year, $20 million contract this past offseason to do just that.

White Sox's Seranthony Dominguez: Signs with ChiSox
Rotowire
The White Sox signed Dominguez to a two-year, $20 million contract Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
There's also a mutual option for 2028, per Joel Sherman of the New York Post, and the White Sox plan to use Dominguez as their closer. The right-hander has some modest closing experience, having notched 40 saves in his career, including 11 in 2024 between the Phillies and Orioles. The 31-year-old is coming off a 2025 campaign that saw him collect a 3.16 ERA and 79:36 K:BB over 62.2 regular-season frames between the Orioles and Blue Jays. Dominguez boasts a career 27.9 percent strikeout rate, but free passes (career 10.5 percent walk rate) have been a problem. With Dominguez taking over the ninth inning, previous incumbent closer options Jordan Leasure and Grant Taylor will work earlier in games with a rotation job potentially still in Taylor's future.

Blue Jays' Seranthony Dominguez: Traded to Blue Jays
Rotowire
The Blue Jays acquired Dominguez from the Orioles in exchange for Juaron Watts-Brown between games of Tuesday's doubleheader in Baltimore, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
It ordinarily takes a couple days for a new player to join their new team, but Dominguez will be able to simply swap clubhouses in the middle of Tuesday's twin bill. The right-hander was expected to be in the mix for saves in Baltimore with Felix Bautista (shoulder) on the IL, but he should fill a setup role for Toronto. Dominguez has a 3.24 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 54:24 K:BB across 41.2 innings this season.

Orioles' Seranthony Dominguez: Notches save in return
Rotowire
Dominguez (back) picked up his second save of the season in Sunday's 2-1 win over Atlanta, striking out two while allowing one earned run on two hits over one inning.
Dominguez wasn't available for either of the Orioles' previous two games due to a sore back, but interim manager Tony Mansolino was comfortable turning to the right-hander to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning Sunday with normal closer Felix Bautista being rested following appearances on both of the past two days. The save didn't come easily for Dominguez, who gave up a one-out solo home run to Sean Murphy before Ozzie Albies singled to put the tying run on base. However, Dominguez settled in thereafter, striking out Drake Baldwin and then inducing a weak grounder from Michael Harris to close out the contest. The 30-year-old Dominguez has posted a 3.31 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 47:20 K:BB across 35.1 innings this season while working primarily in a setup role.

Orioles' Seranthony Dominguez: Might see some save chances
Rotowire
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Monday that Dominguez could see save opportunities early on in the season on days Felix Bautista (elbow) is unavailable, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Bautista won't pitch back-to-back days or throw more than one inning at a time initially in his first season back from Tommy John surgery. That opens the door to save chances for others, with Gregory Soto and Andrew Kittredge (knee) being named along with Dominguez by Hyde in what will be a "mix and match" situation. Dominguez served as the Orioles' primary closer down the stretch last season, going 10-for-11 in regular-season save chances after being acquired at the trade deadline.
