Jason Foley Picks Up Another Save On Sunday

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Jason Foley collected his second save of the season on Sunday, helping the team to a 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. Foley didn't allow a baserunner and didn't strike out anyone either in his two-thirds of an inning. The closer job in Detroit may be Foley's to lose, as the 28-year-old has gotten both of the Tigers opportunities and converted both. It's helped that his main competition, Alex Lange, walked three batters and retired only one in his only appearance this year. Foley should be rostered in any league where saves matter at this point.

Kyle Finnegan Falls Apart On Sunday

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan had a tough outing on Sunday, blowing a two-run lead and taking both the blown save and the loss in a 6-5 defeat against the Cincinnati Reds. Finnegan allowed three hits, including two homers, which did him in. After a solid performance on Saturday and Hunter Harvey giving up a pair of runs, it seemed like Finnegan was strengthening his hold on the closer role. But after Sunday, things have gotten murky again. Finnegan should still be considered the favorite for saves, but if he continues to be shaky the Nationals could switch things up quickly.

David Bednar Blows Save, Hunter Stratton Locks It Down In Extras

Pittsburgh Pirates closer David Bednar wasn't able to hold back the Miami Marlins on Sunday, blowing the save in what turned out to be a 9-7 victory. Bednar was tasked with holding onto a one-run lead, but gave up a one-out solo homer to Nick Gordon. That was the only baserunner he allowed in his inning of work, and he also struck out a pair, so it wasn't all bad for the 29-year-old. Hunter Stratton picked up the save an inning later, but the job should still belong to Bednar, who was stellar in the role last year.

Tanner Scott Takes Loss Sunday

Miami Marlins closer Tanner Scott took the loss in a 9-7 extra-inning defeat against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Scott was tasked with the 10th inning of a tied game but allowed a hit, a walk, and committed an error. This led to two Pirates runs, which was enough to saddle Scott with the loss. The walks are a big concern for the 29-year-old, who has never had much command in his career, although he was able to control his pitches better last season. He has now walked three hitters in two innings so far this season, and if he continues down this path he could relinquish the closer role.

Carlos Estevez Earns First Save

Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Carlos Estevez picked up his first save of the season in a 4-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Estevez had zeroes across the board in his inning of work, as he didn't allow a baserunner and didn't strike anyone out either. After a rough second half of 2023, there were some questions about Estevez's status as Angels closer. Fortunately for him, the newly acquired Robert Stephenson got injured late in Spring Training, leaving Estevez as the only real option to close out games. If he can continue to succeed he should maintain the role even when Stephenson returns, but if he falters the Angels' might be quick to make a change.
