Joel Kuhnel Remains the Top Option for Saves for Athletics
Athletics reliever Joel Kuhnel was tagged with the loss in his last appearance after allowing one run on four hits across 2/3 of an inning in Thursday's loss to the Seattle Mariners. Despite suffering the loss on Thursday, Kuhnel remains the top option for saves for the Athletics. The 31-year-old owns a 2.35 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and three strikeouts over 7 2/3 innings in 2026. He has racked up three saves over his last five appearances, with his most recent save coming in Monday's win over the Mariners. Kuhnel appears to be the favorite in the ninth inning to close games over Mark Leiter and Hogan Harris. He is rostered in 26% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues and is ranked 55th in the latest RotoBaller waiver wire rankings for Week 4. Kuhnel is worth adding in leagues with 12 or more teams for fantasy managers searching for saves.

Jakob Junis Pitches in Eighth Inning, Remains in Strict Committee?
Texas Rangers reliever Jakob Junis allowed a hit across a scoreless inning, earning the hold in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Athletics. This was the Rangers' first save opportunity in over a week. He entered the game in the eighth inning in a high-leverage situation while the team turned to Jacob Latz for the save on Saturday. Junis hasn't had a save since April 12 but has racked up three saves and two holds in his last eight appearances. The Rangers are down a few relievers as the team recently placed reliever Robert Garcia (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list with shoulder inflammation, while Chris Martin (bicep) was placed on the IL on April 15 with a bicep injury. Despite not getting the save on Saturday, Junis is the favorite to be the Rangers' primary closer over Latz and Cole Winn. Junis is rostered in 23% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues and is worth the waiver wire addition in leagues with 12 teams or more for managers searching for saves.

Geraldo Perdomo Day-to-Day with Left Ankle Sprain
Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop Geraldo Perdomo (ankle) was removed from Saturday's game against the San Diego Padres with a left ankle sprain. He injured his ankle while fielding a ground ball during the seventh inning. The 26-year-old went 0-for-3 with a strikeout before exiting. He is considered day-to-day with his next chance to return being on Sunday in the series finale against the Padres in Mexico City. Perdomo is slashing .250/.350/.393 with a home run and six stolen bases over 84 at-bats this season. Ildemaro Vargas would see an uptick in at-bats and would handle shortstop for the Diamondbacks if Perdomo misses any time. Vargas is off to a hot start this season, hitting .351 (26-for-74) with five home runs and 16 RBI over 19 games.

Zac Gallen Exits Saturday's Start Early with a Shoulder Contusion
Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen (shoulder) was removed from Saturday's start against the San Diego Padres with a right shoulder contusion. He was hit by a comebacker in the shoulder during the third inning and initially stayed in the game. The Diamondbacks pulled Gallen at the end of the third inning after 49 pitches. He allowed one hit while striking out three over three scoreless innings before exiting. The 30-year-old is considered day-to-day and will undergo additional testing. Overall, he owns a 3.14 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 17 strikeouts over 28 2/3 innings in 2026. Gallen is considered questionable to make his next start on Friday at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs.
