Pressly was ejected from Sunday's game against the Royals in the bottom of the ninth inning for throwing inside to Michael Taylor, Chandler Rome of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pressly was warned for throwing inside before he was ultimately thrown out of the game with two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning. If the league ultimately determines that he was intentionally throwing inside, Pressly could face a suspension. Prior to Sunday's ejection, the right-hander allowed a run on no hits and a walk while failing to strike out a batter in two-thirds of an inning.

Pressly gave up a run on two hits while striking out one in the ninth inning Wednesday to record his 10th save of the season in a 5-4 win over the A's.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander made things interesting after serving up an RBI double to Elvis Andrus, but Pressly was able to escape with no further damage. He hadn't been charged with an earned run in eight straight appearances heading into Wednesday, and Pressly will take a 2.77 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB through 13 innings into his next outing.

Pressly earned a save against the Guardians on Wednesday, pitching a perfect inning during which he struck out one batter.
EDGE Analysis
Pressly came on in the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead and had a relatively easy time closing things out, retiring the side on nine pitches and preventing any balls from leaving the infield. He has converted his last four save chances and hasn't given up a run across six outings since being tagged with back-to-back blown saves April 13 and May 5.

Pressly notched the save during Sunday's 5-2 victory against the Rangers, allowing two hits in two-thirds of an inning.
EDGE Analysis
Pressly entered with two on and one out in a four-run game and served up singles to the first two Rangers but was able to induce a Jonah Heim double play to end the game with the bases loaded. The 33-year-old recorded his sixth save in 10 appearances, though his strikeout rate is down to 20.6 percent after sitting above 30 percent in each of his past four seasons.

Pressly struck out all three batters he faced in the ninth inning of Thursday's win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Pressly was set to enter in a save situation, but the Astros scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning. Even so, he was impressive while striking out the side on just 14 pitches. Pressly has made four appearances since coming off the injured list, with his last three being scoreless. Overall, he has a 3.68 ERA with a 6:2 K:BB across 7.1 frames.

Pressly allowed one hit in a scoreless ninth inning Friday against the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Pressly pitched in his familiar ninth-inning role, though it wasn't in a save situation. Even so, it was positive to see him turn in a scoreless effort, his second in three appearances since he was activated from the injured list. Pressly has maintained the closer role in Houston to this point, though he'll need to be effective as Rafael Montero has pitched very well to begin the campaign.

Pressly struck out one and did not allow a baserunner in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Saturday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Pressly made his second appearance since returning from the injured list and bounced back from a blown save in his first outing. He retired Tucker Barnhart, Derek Hill and Javier Baez on only eight pitches. He now has four saves in six opportunities this season, but he has only three strikeouts across 5.1 innings of work. Despite a bumpy start to the campaign, it appears that manager Dusty Baker remains comfortable with turning to Pressly in the ninth inning.
