An update on the site's future. We'll leave the light on for ya, @gjewett9.

Another blown save for Edwin Díaz #Dodgers is covered, a change in the #FountainsUp hierarchy, plus game recaps of 10 saves in a 15-game slate, and more in today's Leverage Ledger: https://t.co/ezVaJPwKVm

With the Jack Dreyer save for the #Dodgers, 2026 has tied the #MLB record for the number of pitchers with at least one save in a season, on August 8.

[Bill Plunkett @billplunkettocr]

Back-to-back triples to start the 9th and #Dodgers Edwin Diaz has his second blown save in less than 24 hours.

[Closer Monkey @CloserMonkey]

It appears #FountainsUp is running a shared save situation. Nate Pearson secured his second save of the season, his first with KC. Steven Cruz faced the #Cubs 3-4-5-6 hitters in the eighth for his fourth hold. He has converted three saves in his last nine appearances.

[Closer Monkey @CloserMonkey]

Daniel Palencia #Cubs worked a scoreless inning at Triple-A, issuing a walk and striking out one. He threw nine pitches (5 strikes - 55.6% Strike Rate) and induced one whiff.

@RuneKingRecords Thank you!

[Closer Monkey @CloserMonkey]

Friday's slate featured 11 saves in 15 contests, but the focus should be on Devin Williams #LGM, Edwin Díaz #Dodgers, and Raisel Iglesias #BravesCountry continued struggles, game recaps, and more in today's Leverage Ledger: https://t.co/Ic9l4rNLMd

[Diamondbacks Prospects 🐍 @dbacksprospectz]

Justin Martinez completed his inning for Visalia. Maxed out at 102 mph. The splitter looked absolutely lethal.

Really gross stuff from J-Mart!

[Closer Monkey @CloserMonkey]

Jacob Latz #AllForTX benefited from a runner thrown out at home, securing his 22nd save, and his sixth two-inning save of the season. It's the most since Taylor Rogers recorded seven and Josh Hader notched nine 2-inning saves in 2019.

Updated RP Rankings for saves, SOLDS, and holds: https://t.co/1WrQ6UmWey

[Closer Monkey @CloserMonkey]

Yoendrys Gómez #MNTwins notched his 15th save, Daniel Lynch IV #FountainsUp is moving into the rotation, a sleeper for future saves with #LGM, game recaps, and more in today's Leverage Ledger: https://t.co/wwv4NsdEqd

[Anne Rogers @anne__rogers]

Daniel Lynch IV will start tomorrow, which was why he was unavailable tonight. #Royals are going to give him an opportunity in the rotation moving forward.

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

The @RedSox are the only MLB team in the modern era to score in 5 separate innings in the 9th inning or later in the same game.

[Closer Monkey @CloserMonkey]

Andrés Muñoz notched his 20th save, but his #TridentsUp bridge RPs are struggling, today's takeaways, rehab notes on Daniel Palencia #Cubs, and Wednesday's recaps in today's Leverage Ledger:

@jldtwo Smith > Latz > Taylor (role?) > Montgomery
Love Montgomery's recent gains, but the Weaver trade may harpoon his value.

[Anthony DiComo @AnthonyDiComo]

Closer Devin Williams was unavailable today due to "a little bit of arm fatigue," according to interim manager Andy Green. The Mets expect him to be available tomorrow.

[Closer Monkey @CloserMonkey]

@emoney1312 Only if Iglesias' struggles persist like last year. They like Fuentes in the multi-inning role.

[Closer Monkey @CloserMonkey]

Didier Fuentes #BravesCountry notched his second save, retiring all four batters, two via strikeout. He has been scoreless in his last four appearances, allowing two walks and striking out 10 of 17 batters (47.1 K-BB%) through five innings.

[Closer Monkey @CloserMonkey]

An interesting twist, with a one-run lead, #LGM brings in Daniel Duarte at the bottom of the 10th, and not Devin Williams. D-Will last pitched on Sunday.

[Closer Monkey @CloserMonkey]

@jaynew4 It went well despite the heat. We left many birdies out there, but enjoyed the day. Thank you.

I will be around but am playing in a golf tournament today. Teeing off in 5 minutes. ⛳️
