Blue Jays rally from a 4-2 hole to stun the Orioles 5-4, riding Addison Barger’s fifth-inning homer and Alejandro Kirk’s ninth-inning sacrifice fly. Kirk also delivered an eighth-inning RBI single to keep Toronto within one as Joey Loperfido added a late RBI hit. Baltimore tagged early against Tomoyuki Sugano, with Gunnar Henderson and Coby Mayo providing key early and late offense, while Max Scherzer worked five for Toronto. Bieber may settle the finale as Baltimore halves look to bullpen-day.

Week 23 bullpen shakeups reshape fantasy closer plans. Milwaukee’s Uribe emerges as the top short-term fix after Megill lands on the IL with a flexor strain, giving Uribe elite closer upside in all formats. Baltimore’s Keegan Akin is a viable adds-now option, while Minnesota’s Justin Topa has carved out a late-inning role that’s worth chasing in 12-team and deeper leagues. In deeper adds, JoJo Romero and Riley O’Brien in St. Louis, Calvin Faucher in Miami, and Reid Detmers in Los Angeles provide leverage-shower paths as teams ride out the rest of the season. Dodgers’ Tanner Scott has reemerged as a saves option, with Kenley Jansen and others still in the mix.

Notes on the holds and saves landscape: Whitlock leads holds while Aroldis Chapman has a record-breaking season, and Ryan Walker’s late-inning work for San Francisco is back in focus after the injury news around Randy Rodríguez. The bullpen mosaic remains volatile, but urgency around adds for Week 23 is clear: target the next man up who can accumulate saves and holds in the coming weeks.

Keegan Akin failed to lock down the save as Rafaela belted a two-run homer in the 9th, snapping Baltimore's late-inning Houdini act with a 3-2 loss to Boston. An 8th-inning escape by Akin briefly kept the Orioles ahead, but Duran’s leadoff single and Rafaela’s blast flipped the script. Baltimore’s offense produced a pair of runs with Beavers driving in one and a Beavers-Beauffer sequence, while Contreras delivered a strong Orioles debut before Akin’s collapse.

Boston pitchers stymied the O's most of the evening, with Enns starting and Contreras excelling before Akin’s meltdown. Rafaela and Anthony provided the big swings for the Sox, while the Orioles leaned on a handful of unlikely contributors and the bullpen to navigate the tense game. Fantasy owners should monitor Akin’s closing role and Rafaela’s growing power impact in upcoming matchups.
