Collects 11th save Pagan recorded his 11th save of the season in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Guardians, giving up a hit and striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.

Pagan has converted all five of his save chances since coming off the IL at the beginning of July, and on the month he's produced a 2.46 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB over 7.1 innings.

Converts 10th save Pagan struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 4-2 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Pagan has earned three saves over the last four days and has 10 saves on the season. He's allowed a modest two runs -- both in non-save situations -- over 6.1 innings since he returned from a hamstring injury at the end of June. He has a 5.31 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB through 20.1 innings and looks to have a fairly firm grasp on the closer role at this time.

Up to nine saves Pagan turned in a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Mariners.

Impact Pagan is up to nine saves this season, with three coming in six outings since he returned from the IL on July 1. Since returning, Pagan has given up two runs on three hits while striking out eight across 5.1 innings. Overall, his ERA sits at 5.59 across 19.1 innings this season with a 1.29 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB.

Picks up eighth save Pagan struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Mariners.

Impact This was Pagan's second save in five outings since he returned from a hamstring injury. He's allowed two runs while posting an 8:2 K:BB over 4.1 innings in that span. The right-hander is at a 5.89 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 19:8 K:BB with eight saves in 11 chances over 18.1 innings this season. Pagan is still the Reds' top closing option due to the absences of Tony Santillan (oblique) and Graham Ashcraft (elbow), but the team's last-place status makes it tough to expect many saves.

Grabs first save since return Pagan earned the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Orioles, allowing a run on a hit and two walks in the ninth inning. He struck out one.

Impact It didn't come easy for Pagan in his first save chance since returning from a nearly two-month stint on the IL. The Orioles would load the bases with one out before adding a run on a sacrifice fly. Pagan then coaxed a lineout off the bat of Adley Rutschman, stranding the tying and go-ahead runs on base and locking down his seventh save of the year. It's been an uneven season for Pagan thus far, who now sports a 6.46 ERA with a 1.50 WHIP and 13:8 K:BB across 15.1 innings. Still, the veteran is expected to hold down the ninth-inning job in Cincinnati going forward.

Back from injured list The Reds reinstated Pagan (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact The right-hander is fully recovered from the left hamstring strain that sent him to the injured list in early May, and he's now back on the active roster after making two rehab appearances with Triple-A Louisville. Pagan had a slow start to the campaign with a 6.43 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB across 14 innings while going 6-for-9 in save chances prior to the injury, but he should still reclaim the closer role now that he's healthy.

Impact Pagan likely would have been re-inserted into the ninth inning even before Tony Santillan (oblique) went down last week, but the Santillan injury seemingly cinched things. Out since early May with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, Pagan logged two scoreless rehab appearances with Triple-A Louisville. He'll get a day of rest Monday before being activated Tuesday, Francona said in an interview on MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM.

On track to return this week Pagan (hamstring) is likely to return from the 15-day injured list this week after tossing scoreless innings in a pair of rehab appearances with Triple-A Louisville over the weeken...

Impact Pagan needed just six pitches to retire the side in his first outing with Louisville on Friday. He then faced the minimum in his second appearance Sunday erasing a leadoff single with a double-play groundout before inducing a lineout to end the frame. Since he threw just nine pitches Sunday, the Reds could be comfortable activating him from the IL ahead of Monday's series opener in Milwaukee, though it wouldn't be surprising if he was given a day to rest before being reinstated Tuesday. Whenever he's added back to the active roster, Pagan should reclaim closing duties for the Reds after converting six of nine save chances before hitting the IL on May 6 due to a Grade 2 left hamstring strain.

Starting rehab assignment Thursday Pagan (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

Impact It's not clear which minor-league affiliate Pagan will be assigned to, but Goldsmith says the reliever's rehab assignment is expected to be brief. Pagan has been sidelined since early May with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain. Tony Santillan has pitched well lately as the Reds' closer, but Pagan should eventually reclaim his old gig.
