Since my last report, the avalanche of pitchers recording a save has not stopped. Through June 10, 165 different pitchers have recorded a save. Teams have not reached the statistical midpoint of the season, yet the number of different relievers with a save has been staggering. For perspective, here are the MLB save trends since 2021, with the five-year averages included:YearRPs 1+ SavesRPs 5+ SavesRPs 10+ SavesRPs 20+ SavesRPs 30+ SavesRPs 40+ Saves20252155432218220242235339228220232145338231212022222643518102202119870411990Last 5214.458.83720.69.41.4Updating last week’s note regarding the Royals, Alex Lange has surfaced as their primary save option, with Lucas Erceg working as a setup reliever.

Enter with eyes wide open.In the same division, White Sox reliever Seranthony Domínguez has recorded 11 saves across 14 opportunities, but he has been deployed in the seventh or eighth inning in his past four outings. Has the door been opened for Grant Taylor? More on this in the AL “Stock up” section below.There is good news for relievers on the rehab trail. Baltimore’s Ryan Helsley will have a rehab outing for Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday. It has not been reported how many rehab appearances he needs before being activated.Detroit’s Kenley Jansen had a “rusty” outing in his Triple-A appearance on Wednesday, allowing two hits, three earned runs and a walk over two-thirds of an inning. However, he remains on track for a return on Friday.Cincinnati’s Emilio Pagán has thrown off a mound and, if there are no setbacks, he could face live hitters before heading out on his rehab assignment soon.Amid the volume of relievers recording saves, situations remain unsettled for many teams. There are multiple teams without a “closer,” necessitating updated pathways with some caveats. My leverage pathways try to provide accurate team approaches for procuring saves despite the multitude of confusing usage patterns throughout the league. Each team will receive one of the following labels:
