Full slate Tuesdays usually provide plenty of high-leverage events of interest, and last night did not disappoint. In today’s takeaways:

• Alexis Díaz returned, but the hierarchy will not be impacted

• José Alvarado worked during the eighth; it’s a floating closer concept

• Jhoan Durán ramped up his velocity and notched his first save

Game recaps include the following teams:

ATH | BOS | CHC | CLE | COL | HOU | LAD | MIL | NYY | SD | WSH
