Tampa Bay Rays – With Diego Castillo having pitched 2 innings on Sunday and Jose Alvarado coming off a back-to-back, the Rays turned to Emilio Pagan for the save opportunity. Pagan converted, and has only allowed one baserunner through his first five innings this season.
Hierarchy remains: *Alvarado | Castillo | Roe.
* = closer-by-committee
Milwaukee Brewers – Jeremy Jeffress logged his third straight scoreless outing since his return from the IL. The Brewers have struggled to find a good bridge to Josh Hader in his absence, so we think this is good enough to move him up on to the hierarchy.
Updated hierarchy: Hader | Jeffress | Wilson.
