Cincinnati Reds – Mychal Givens recorded his third save for the Reds on Sunday, and has now received (and converted) every Cincinnati save chance since he joined the team. We’re removing his asterisk.
Updated hierarchy: Givens | Hembree | Lorenzen.
Miami Marlins – Anthony Bender got the day off, allowing Dylan Floro to pick up his 5th save. This was in the Vulture Save Watch yesterday though so we’re sure you already knew this would happen.
Hierarchy remains: *Bender | Floro | Bass.
* = closer-by-committee
New York Yankees – Wandy Peralta picked up his second save in a week, cleaning up the mess after Lucas Luetge got in trouble in the 9th. He’s still behind several others on the depth chart, but if he keeps finding his way into these spots, we’ll make a place for him on the hierarchy.
Hierarchy remains: *Loaisiga | Green | Britton.
* = closer-by-committee
