Closer Monkey's Leverage Ledger | 5.24.2026

Yates secured his first save, the Reds' are still a mess, and Sewald shoved.

There were two rainouts on Saturday’s slate, but plenty of high-leverage moments of interest occurred. Kirby Yates was called on for his first save and was up to the task.

Three takeaways feature:

• Cincinnati’s bullpen struggles continued despite a win

• The Dodgers are on the precipice of a historic scoreless streak

• Jeff Hoffman locked down his fifth save. Is he relevant again?

Game recaps cover:

AL: HOU | MIN

NL: ARI | PHI | SD | STL | WSH

Plus quick hits for five other teams.
