New York Yankees – The Yankees rested their entire hierarchy after they all pitched Monday, which meant Lou Trivino recorded the final four outs of Tuesday’s division-clinching win. It was Trivino’s first save with the Yankees, making him the 12th different Yankee to notch a save this season. That’s one shy of the Rays’ record of 13 relievers with a save, set just last year. With the division now clinched, hopefully Aaron Boone embraces the chaos and challenges for that record!

Hierarchy remains: *Holmes | Effross | Loaisiga.
* = closer-by-committee

Tampa Bay Rays – Calvin Faucher was the eighth Rays pitcher out of the bullpen on Tuesday and closed out the 11th inning to secure his first MLB save. Faucher became the 11th different Tampa reliever to earn a save this season, but as we noted above, the Yankees are inching closer to the Rays’ record.

Hierarchy remains: *Fairbanks | Adam | Poche.
* = closer-by-committee

Chicago Cubs – Brandon Hughes entered the eighth inning with a one-run lead and retired the Phillies’ 9-1-2 hitters in order. He went back out for the ninth, but after walking Bryce Harper to open the frame, Manuel Rodriguez relieved Hughes and needed just two pitches to notch his third save of the season. Hughes (4), Rodriguez (2) and Mark Leiter Jr. (2) are the only Cubs relievers with multiple saves this month.

Updated hierarchy: *Hughes | Leiter Jr. | Rodriguez
* = closer-by-committee

Los Angeles AngelsAfter the Angels took the lead in the eighth, Jimmy Herget pitched a perfect ninth for his seventh save of the season. Herget and Ryan Tepera continue to be the top two arms in the Angels bullpen.
 
Hierarchy remains: *Herget | Tepera | Quijada.
* = closer-by-committee

Colorado Rockies – Carlos Estevez was placed on the COVID IL Tuesday. Bud Black said that Estevez has flu-like symptoms and that he hopes that Estevez will bounce back quickly.

Updated hierarchy: Bard | Lamet | Bird.

Oakland A’s — With Joel Payamps on the IL, Tyler Cyr has been seeing more late-inning opportunities, including last night when he struck out both Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani with the game tied in the seventh inning.

Updated hierarchy: Acevedo | Puk | Cyr.

VULTURE SAVE WATCH
Today

1. Giovanny Gallegos (STL) – Ryan Helsley threw 25 pitches last night as the Cardinals clinched the NL Central.
2. Wil Crowe/Duane Underwood (PIT) – David Bednar has pitched in two of three and is coming off an IL stint while Crowe threw 24 pitches last night.
3. Jonathan Hernandez (TEX) – Jose Leclerc threw 29 pitches on Tuesday.
4. Ryan Brasier (BOS) – Everyone in the Red Sox hierarchy threw over 20 pitches last night and probably shouldn’t be overworked for a last-place team.

Tomorrow
1. Mark Leiter Jr. (CHC) – If Brandon Hughes pitches today that will be two straight.
2. Tanner Scott (MIA) – The same is true of Dylan Floro.
3. Nick Martinez/Luis Garcia (SD) – Everyone in the Padres hierarchy threw 20+ pitches last night, so we’ll see how that trio is used tonight.
4. Dylan Coleman (KC) – If Scott Barlow pitches tonight that will be two straight and three of four. Coleman should get tonight off after a 29-pitch outing last night.
