RELIEVERS: ARI, BOS, HOU, MIN, SF

This week, Arizona, Boston, Houston, Minnesota, and San Francisco.

Arizona closer Mark Melancon (RHP, ARI) has been out only with COVID and returned on Friday, so don't let recent results fool you into thinking Ian Kennedy (RHP, ARI) is now the closer. The division of saves so far is interesting, though:
