Trevor Megill has reassumed the closer role for the Milwaukee Brewers, recording three saves in four games. This change comes after Abner Uribe's previous stint when he had been favored for saves. Meanwhile, Jeff Hoffman of the Toronto Blue Jays faced a setback, blowing a save opportunity by allowing five earned runs in one out during the game against the New York Mets. Louie Varland, who has excelled since taking over the closing duties, likely solidified his position further with Hoffman's performance. As the Kansas City Royals deliberate on Lucas Erceg's struggles, he has seen his ERA balloon to 6.33 after a tough stretch of appearances.
