Tampa Bay Rays — Diego Castillo is going on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation. Emilio Pagan should be next in line for saves until Jose Alvarado is back in action.
Updated hierarchy: *Pagan | Alvarado | Roe.
* = closer-by-committee
Miami Marlins – The Marlins gave Sergio Romo a second night off after he’d gone four in a row, allowing Nick Anderson to pick up his first save of the season.
Updated hierarchy: Romo | Guerrero | Anderson.
Kansas City Royals – Kevin McCarthy came on in the 7th inning with two runners on and the Royals up by 4 runs, escaping the jam by inducing a groundout. The Royals would tack on a run, and McCarthy stayed out for the 8th and 9th innings, earning his first save of the season.
Hierarchy remains: Kennedy | Peralta | Diekman.
