Get all your latest up-to-date daily bullpen news by following @mlbdailybullpen.American League Bullpen ReportBaltimore Orioles(CL) Solid Jim Johnson (R)–Recorded his 27th save of the season Tuesday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit and two walks on 23 pitches thrown. Johnson got himself into a jam, but was able to work his way through it by forcing two ground ball outs and striking out one to escape the frame unharmed. 23 PC-12 ST (6/25/13) (SU) Darren O’Day (R)--Failed to record an out in his appearance on Monday night surrendering two runs on two hits in the eighth inning. O'Day allow a two-run home run to Michael Brantley, which extended the Indians lead, and the Orioles were unable to muster up a comeback. 14 PC-9 ST (6/24/13) (MR) Brian Matusz (L)--Pitched  a scoreless inning of relief on Monday in relief of Darren O'Day, who failed to record an out in the eighth frame. Matusz allowing one hit, but was able to force one ground ball out while striking out two batters to limit the damage to just two runs. 19 PC-14 ST (6/24/13)Boston Red Sox(CL) Shaky Koji Uehara (R)–Picked up his 13th hold of the season Thursday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. After going through a rough stretch a few weeks back, Uehara has gotten right back on track, and may be considered for the closer job if Andrew Bailey continues to struggle. 10 PC-9 ST (6/20/13) (SU) Andrew Bailey (R)--Picked up his fifth hold of the season Sunday despite allowing one run on two hits in the seventh inning. Bailey has pitched terrible over the last week of the season, and if his struggles continue, look for Junichi Tazawa to move past him on the Red Sox depth chart. 9 PC-6 ST (6/23/13) (MR) Junichi Tazawa (R)--Earned his 13th hold of the season on Sunday after pitching a scoreless sixth inning allowing one walk while striking out one batter on 16 pitches thrown. Tazawa has pitched well as of late, and may get a chance to be used in the closer role once again if Koji Uehara can;t get it done. 16 PC-11 ST (6/23/13) Injured--Joel Hanrahan (Forearm)Chicago White Sox(CL) Solid Addison Reed (R)–Picked up the win despite being charged with his third blown-save of the season Tuesday after allowing one run (unearned) on one hit in the ninth inning. After LaTroy Hawkins allowed a walk-off single to Alexei Ramirez in the bottom half of the inning, the decision fell to Reed, who is now 3-0 after this blown-save performance. 17 PC-13 ST (6/25/13) (SU) Jesse Crain (R)–Took the loss on Sunday after allowing three runs (zero earned) on two hits and one walk in the eighth inning. This was Crain's first blown-save of the season, but none of the runs were charged to him, so he is still sitting on a 0.52 earned-run average for the year. 30 PC-19 ST (6/23/13) (MR) Matt Thornton (L)–Picked up his 16th hold of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless seventh inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Thornton needed 15 pitches to work through the frame, forcing two ground ball outs while striking out one batter to get the job done. 15 PC-10 ST (6/23/13)Cleveland Indians(CL) Shaky Vinny Pestano (R)--Recorded his fourth save of the season Monday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit and one walk on 15 pitches thrown. Pestano allowed the tying run aboard, but was able to forcing two fly ball outs and strikeout one batter to seal the victory for the Indians. 15 PC-9 ST (6/24/13) (SU) Joe Smith (R)--Earned his sixth hold of the season Monday night after pitching a 1-2-3 eighth inning needing only 10 pitches to work through the appearance. Smith has been a pleasant surprise for a depleted Indians bullpen, but will soon see his role diminish with the return of Chris Perez. 10 PC-6 ST (6/24/13) (MR) Bryan Shaw (R)--Picked up his fifth hold of the season Monday after retiring the final two batters of the seventh inning. Shaw bounced back nicely from a poor performance his last time out, so hopefully this will get him back on track. 6 PC-4 ST (6/24/13) Injured--Chris Perez (Shoulder)Detroit Tigers(CL) Shaky Joaquin Benoit (R)–Picked up the win on Sunday despite allowing one run on two hits in 1.1 innings of relief. This was Benoit's first appearance in a week, so the mediocre outing could have something to do with his time off in between appearances. 23 PC-16 ST (6/23/13) (SU) Phil Coke (L)--Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Tuesday night in a non-save situation allowing one walk while striking out two batters. With Joaquin Benoit taking over the closer role, Coke will now be used in the eight inning, which should increase his chances of earning more holds. 17 PC-10 ST (6/25/13) (MR) Al Alburquerque (R)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Saturday night allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one batter. Alburquerque has now pitched back-to-back days, so expect to see him get the day off on Sunday. 19 PC-12 ST (6/22/13) Injured– Octavio Dotel (Shoulder)Houston Astros(CL) Solid Jose Veras (R)–Recorded his 15th save of the season Saturday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning striking out one batter on six pitches thrown. After a slow start to the season, Veras has now recorded saves in four of his last five appearances, making himself a very serviceable closer in all formats. 6 PC-5 ST (6/22/13) (SU) Hector Ambriz (R)--Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Tuesday night in a non-save situation allowing one hit while striking out two batters on 14 pitches thrown. Ambriz has been one of the bright spots on the Astros this season, and has a chance of earning some saves in the second half of the season, if the team decides to trade Jose Veras. 14 PC-10 ST (6/25/13) (MR) Wesley Wright (L)–Pitched one inning of relief on Sunday allowing two runs on three hits while striking out two batters on 23 pitches thrown. If he was on any other team he would have been sent to the minors by now, but since he is a member of the Astros they will continue to let him pitch despite pitching poorly. 23 PC-15 ST (6/23/13)Kansas City Royals(CL) Solid Greg Holland (R)–Recorded his 16th save of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Holland has been on fire as of late, collecting saves in three of his last four outings. 13 PC-9 ST (6/23/13)(SU) Aaron Crow (R)–Took the loss on Saturday after allowing one run on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. Crow failed to record an out in the appearance, and was later replaced by Greg Holland, who retired the next three hitters. 8 PC-3 ST (6/22/13)(MR) Tim Collins (L)--Took the loss on Tuesday night after allowing the game-winning home run to Jason Heyward in the seventh inning. With Kelvin Herrera out of the picture once again, Collins has a chance of gaingin some fantasy value in holds leagues, so be sure to keep an eye on him in the upcoming weeks. 20 PC-16 ST (6/25/13)Los Angeles Angels(CL) Solid Ernesto Frieri (R)–Was charged with his second blown-save of the season Sunday after surrendering three runs on three hits and one walk. Frieri has been used a lot as of late, which has to be a factor in his poor performance, so hopefully he will be able to turn things around next time out. 31 PC-19 ST (6/23/13) (MR) Kevin Jepsen (R)--Took the loss on Sunday after surrendering four runs on two hits and two walks in the ninth and 10th inning. Jepsen falls to 0-2 on the season after this terrible performance, which was his second straight bad outing. 25 PC-14 ST (6/23/13) (SU) Scott Downs (L)–Earned his 14th hold of the season Sunday after retiring the final two batters of the eighth inning. Downs needed 15 pitches to work through the appearance, forcing one ground ball out while striking out one batter to get the job done. 15 PC-10 ST (6/23/13) Injured:  Ryan Madson (Elbow), Sean Burnett (Elbow)Minnesota Twins(CL) Solid Glen Perkins (L)–Recorded his 19th save of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing two hits on 13 pitches thrown. Perkins has now recorded nine saves in his last 10 appearances, which has raised his fantasy stock considerably over the last three weeks. 13 PC-8 ST (6/23/13) (SU) Jared Burton (R)–Picked up his 14th hold of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one hit and one walk on 20 pitches thrown. Burton hasn't been pitching that well over his last few appearances, so hopefully this outing will get him moving in the right direction. 20 PC-11 ST (6/23/13) (MR) Casey Fien (R)--Picked up his eighth hold of the season Sunday despite allowing one run on two hits in two innings of relief. Fien pitched well outside of allowing a solo-home run, striking out four of the six batters he faced in the appearance,40 PC-24 ST (6/23/13)New York Yankees(CL) Elite Mariano Rivera (R)–Picked up the win on Tuesday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning in a non-save situation allowing one hit on 11 pitches thrown. Rivera entered the game with a tied score, and after Tanner Scheppers' allowed a walk-off home run, Rivera ended up with the win. 11 PC-10 ST (6/25/13) (SU) David Robertson (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Tuesday in a non-save situation allowing one hit and one walk on 16 pitches thrown. Robertson got himself into a jam, but was able to force two ground ball outs to keep the game deadlocked at three runs a piece. 16 PC-9 ST (6/25/13) (MR) Boone Logan (R)–Recorded the final out of the seventh inning on Tuesday striking out the only batter he faced on three pitches thrown. Logan has become more of a specialist rather than an inning-eater, which has limited his fantasy upside, so he will need an injury to David Robertson to become fantasy relevant. 3 PC-3 ST (6/25/13)Oakland Athletics(CL) Solid Grant Balfour (R)–Took the loss on Sunday after surrendering three runs on two hits in the 10th inning. Balfour entered the game in a non-save situation, which seems to be the downfall for many closers this season, and allowed a home run to Kendrys Morales to end the game. 13 PC-8 ST (6/23/13) (SU) Ryan Cook (R)--Pitched a scoreless seventh inning on Tuesday night retiring all three batters he faced in order. Cook only needed 11 pitches to work through the frame, forcing two ground ball outs while striking out one batter to keep the Athletics on top. 11 PC-9 ST (6/25/13) (MR) Sean Doolittle (L)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Tuesday night allowing two hits while striking out one batter on 12 pitches thrown. Doolittle got himself into ajam, but was able to forcing one ground ball out and one fly ball out to secure the lead heading into the ninth inning. 12 PC-9 ST (6/25/13)Seattle Mariners(CL) Committee Oliver Perez (L)--Picked up the win on Sunday after pitching two innings on scoreless relief allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two batters on 29 pitches thrown. Perez continues to pitch well out of the bullpen for the Mariners, and is now sitting on a 0.98 earned-run average on the season. 29 PC-20 ST (6/23/13) (CL) Committee Carter Capps (R)–Pitched two innings of relief on Tuesday night allowing two run son three hits while striking out four batter on 30 pitches thrown. Capps continues to struggle with his command and will now likely get the day off Wednesday after recording a high pitch count in this contest. 30 PC-20 ST (6/25/13) (SU)  Tom Wilhelmsen (R)--Pitched a scoreless seventh inning on Tuesday striking out the side on 14 pitches thrown. Wilhelmsen will need to put together a few more outing like this one if he wants to regain the closer role, which seems likely as his command looked much better than in his last few appearances. 14 PC-9 ST (6/25/13) Injured–Stephen Pryor (back)Tampa Bay Rays(CL) Shaky Fernando Rodney (R)–Collected his 16th save Monday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out two batters on 20 pitches thrown. Rodney has now pitched back-to-back days, so there is a chance he will be given the night off on Tuesday. 20 PC-13 ST (6/24/13) (SU) Joel Peralta (R)–Earned his 19th hold of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Peralta made it through the inning with ease, forcing three fly ball outs on 11 pitches thrown to get the job done. 11 PC-7 ST (6/23/13) (MR) Jake McGee (L)–Picked up his 14th hold of the season Tuesday night after pitching a scoreless seventh inning allowing one walk on 20  pitches thrown. McGee has really started to shine after a disastrous start to the season, and may become a solid player to own in holds leagues if he continues to perform at this level. 20 PC-12 ST (6/25/13)Texas Rangers(CL) Elite Joe Nathan (R)–Earned his 25th save of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing two hits on 10 pitches thrown. Nathan has now pitched four consecutive days, but with a scheduled day off on Monday, expect him to be available for the series opener with the Yankees on Tuesday. 10 PC-8 ST (6/23/13) (SU) Tanner Scheppers (R)–Took the loss Tuesday after allowing one run on one hit and one walk in 1.2 innings of relief. This was Scheppers' first loss of the season, leaving him now with a 5-1 record on the year. 23 PC-12 ST (6/25/13) (MR) Jason Frasor (R)–Failed to record an out in his appearance on Thursday allowing a walk to the only batter he faced in the sixth inning. Frasor has now pitched back-to-back days, but considering his low pitch count, he should be able to pitch Friday if the team need his services. 7 PC-3 ST (6/20/13) Injured– Joakim Soria (Elbow)Toronto Blue Jays(CL) Solid Casey Janssen (R)–Collected his 17th save of the season on Saturday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning striking out two batters on 13 pitches thrown. Janssen has now pitched back-to-back days, so expect to see either Steve Delabar or Brett Cecil used in the closer role on Sunday. 13 PC-18 ST (6/22/13) (SU) Steve Delabar (R)–Was used to record the final out of the seventh inning on Tuesday night allowing one hit while striking out one batter on 12 pitches thrown. Delabar has been a pleasant surprise for the Blue Jays this season, and has the making of being a dominant closer some day, if he ever gets the chance. 12 PC-6 ST (6/25/13) (MR) Brett Cecil (L)--Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Tuesday night allowing one run on two hits needing 19 pitches to record the first two outs of the seventh inning. Cecil didn't have his best stuff in this one, but at least he was able to escape without too much damage done to his earned-run average. 19 PC-13 ST (6/25/13) Injured– Sergio Santos (Triceps)Continue to Page 2 to view the National League Bullpen Report...National League Bullpen Report Arizona Diamondbacks(CL) Shaky Heath Bell (R)–Was charged with his third blown-save of the season Saturday after allowing two runs on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. Bell failed to record an out in the appearance and has now surrendered four run sin his last three outings. 15 PC-8 ST (6/22/13) (SU) David Hernandez (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Sunday in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order. With the recent struggles on Heath Bell, there is a good chance Hernandez could be next in line to take over the ninth inning if his struggles continue. 19 PC-13 ST (6/23/13) (MR) Tony Sipp (L)--Recorded the final out of the seventh inning on Tuesday needing six pitches to force a fly ball out to get the job done. Sipp has been used sparingly over the last few weeks, so expect him to get more work in the upcoming days. 6 PC-3 ST (6/25/13) Injured: J.J. Putz (Elbow), Matt Reynolds (Elbow)Atlanta Braves(CL) Elite Craig Kimbrel (R)–Recorded his 22nd save of the season Tuesday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit and two walks on 23 pitches thrown. Kimbrel got himself into a jam, but was able to force one fly ball out and strikeout two batters to walk away unharmed and with a Braves victory. 23 PC-12 ST (6/25/13) (SU) Luis Avilan (L)--Picked up his 12th hold of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless sixth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Avilan needed only 12 pitches to make it through the appearance, forcing one ground ball out and one fly ball while striking out one batter to get the job done. 12 PC-9 ST (6/23/13) (MR)  Jordan Walden (R)--Earned his fifth hold of the season Tuesday night after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one walk while striking out one batter on 17 pitches thrown. Since returning from the disabled list, Walden has been pitching very well, and should now starting to be considered in holds leagues. 17 PC-10 ST (6/25/13) Injured– Jonny Venters (Elbow),  Eric O’Flaherty (Elbow)Chicago Cubs(CL) Solid Kevin Gregg (R)--Took the loss on Saturday after allowing one run on one hit in the ninth inning in a non-save situation. This was Gregg's first loss of the season, so hopefully this doesn't have a snowball effect moving forward. 14 PC-10 ST (6/22/13)(SU) James Russell (L)--Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Sunday allowing one run on three hits needing 21 pitches to get through the appearance. This was Russell's first appearance since last Sunday, so expect to see much more of him in the upcoming days. 21 PC-15 ST (6/23/13)(MR) Shawn Camp (R)--Pitched two innings of relief on Tuesday night allowing one run on three hits needing 26 pitches to work through the appearance. With Carlos Marmol out of the picture, Camp will now had a more prominent role in the Cubs bullpen, so be sure to keep him on your radars in holds leagues. 26 PC-21 ST (6/25/13) Injured--Kyuji Fujikawa (Forearm)Cincinnati Reds(CL) Elite Aroldis Chapman (L)–Recorded his 19th save of the season Sunday despite allowing one run on two hits in the ninth inning.

Hoover (R)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Tuesday night retiring all three batters he faced in order. Hoover struck out one batter while forcing two fly ball outs to work through the appearance, which was one of only a handful of perfect innings he ahs had all season. 17 PC-10 ST (6/25/13) (MR) Tony Cingrani (L)--Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Thursday allowing one hit while striking out one batter on 17 pitches thrown. Cingrani has now pitched back-to-back days and three of the last four, so expect the Reds to give their youngster the day off in Game 1 of their series with the Diamondbacks. 17 PC-13 ST (6/20/13) Injured--Sean Marshall  (Shoulder), Jonathan Broxton (Elbow)Colorado Rockies(CL) Shaky Rex Brothers (L)–Recorded his fourth save of the season Sunday after pitching 1.1 innings of scoreless relief. With Rafael Betancourt set to return any day now, Brothers' fantasy stock will soon drop significantly, making him only worth owning in holds leagues. 14 PC-10 ST (6/23/13) (SU) Matt Belisle (R)--Was used in the eighth inning on Sunday surrendering four runs on three hits and one walk, failing to make it through the inning. Belisle has now allowed six runs over his last three appearances, and is in serious jeopardy of moving down the depth chart, especially with the arrival of Rafael Betancourt later this week. 21 PC-14 ST (6/23/13) (MR) Wilton Lopez (R)–Pitched one inning of relief on Saturday allowing one run on one hit while striking out one batter on 14 pitches thrown. Lopez has now allowed three runs over his last three appearances, which has raised his earned-run average up to 4.26 on the season. 14 PC-9 ST (6/22/13) Injured-- Rafael Betancourt (Groin)Los Angeles Dodgers(CL) Solid Kenley Jansen (R)–Recorded his fifth save of the season on Monday night after striking out the side in the ninth inning. Jansen has been excellent since taking over the closer role from Brandon League, so there is no reason to think that he will be back in the setup role any time soon. 16 PC-12 ST (6/24/13) (SU) Brandon League (R)–Failed to record an out in his appearance on Tuesday night allowing two runs on three hits in the ninth inning. League has been terrible most of the season, so there is a good chance he will be used in less meaningful roles for a while to regain some of his confidence. 18 PC-11 ST (6/25/13) (MR) Ronald Belisario (R)–Picked up his sixth hold of the season Tuesday after retiring all three batters he faced in the eighth inning. Belisario may start to see an uptick in the situations he is used in with the recent struggles of Brandon League, which could mean more hold situations. 10 PC-6 ST (6/25/13)Miami Marlins(CL) Shaky Steve Cishek (R)–Recorded his 13th save of the season Tuesday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Cishek has been on a role as of late, and has now earned a save in all of his last seven appearances, dating back to June 11. 11 PC-8 ST (6/25/13) (SU) Mike Dunn (L)--Picked up his 10th hold of the season Tuesday despite allowing one run (unearned) on two hits in the eighth inning.

Ramos (R)--Picked up the win on Tuesday after pitching two scoreless innings of relief allowing one hit while striking out three batters. Ramos threw 35 pitches in the appearance, so there is a good chance he will be given the day off on Wednesday. 35 PC-22 ST (6/25/13)Milwaukee Brewers(CL) Committee Jim Henderson (R)--Pitched one inning of relief on Sunday in a non-save situation allowing one run on two hits and one walk in the final frame. Henderson has looked mediocre at best since returning from the disabled list, so expect to see Francisco Rodriguez get some save chances while he continues to get back in shape. 23 PC-15 ST (6/23/13) (CL) Committee Francisco Rodriguez (R)--Recorded his sixth save of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter on 13 pitches thrown. This save took Rodriguez to the 300-mark on the season, but now we should see Jim Henderson getting most of the saves now that he has past his milestone. 13 PC-11 ST (6/22/13) (MR) John Axford (R)–Picked up his 11th hold of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Axford looked great once again in this contest, and appears to have worked through all the kinks that cost him the closer role back in April. 10 PC-5 ST (6/22/13)New York Mets(CL) Solid Bobby Parnell (R)–Recorded his 12th save of the season Friday night after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning.

Lyon was in charge of shutting down the final two innings of game, which the Mets had a commanding lead, and was able to do so with ease. 22 PC-15 ST (6/23/13) (MR) LaTroy Hawkins (R)--Took the loss on Tuesday after allowing one run (unearned) on two hits in the ninth inning. Hawkins allowed a game-winning single to Alexei Ramirez, which came after recording the first two outs of the frame in a tied ballgame. 13 PC-10 ST (6/25/13) Injured– Frank Francisco (Elbow)Philadelphia Phillies(CL) Elite Jonathan Papelbon (R)--Was charged with his fourth blown-save Monday night after allowing one run (unearned) on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. Papelbon has now recorded four blown-saves in his last five appearances, but considering the other options in the Phillies bullpen, there is no way his job is on the line. 12 PC-6 ST  (6/24/13) (SU) Mike Adams (R)--Pitched a scoreless 10th inning on Wednesday allowing one hit on 12 pitches thrown. Adams is enduring arguably his worst season in the big leagues, but outings like this show that he could be trending back in the right direction. 12 PC-8 ST (6/19/13) (MR) Antonio Bastardo (L)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Tuesday night in a non-save situation allowing two hits while striking out two batters on 30 pitches thrown. Considering his high pitch count, he will likely get the day off on Wednesday so plan accordingly. 30 PC-21 ST (6/25/13)Pittsburgh Pirates(CL) Elite Jason Grilli (R)–Was used in a non-save situation on Sunday surrendering three runs on five hits in the 10th innings. Grilli has not pitched well in two of his last three appearances, but that is to be expected at least once by every pitcher each year. 28 PC-22 ST (6/32/13) (SU) Mark Melancon (R)--Picked up the win on Sunday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Melancon needed only seven pitches to work through the frame, forcing two fly ball outs while striking out one batter to get the job done. 7 PC-5 ST (6/23/13) (MR) Tony Watson (L)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Tuesday night retiring all three batters he faced in order. Once again, ,Watson got the job done for the Pirates, forcing two ground ball outs and one fly ball out on 13 pitches thrown. 13 PC-8 ST (6/25/13)San Diego Padres(CL) Solid Huston Street (R)--Took the loss on Sunday after surrendering two runs on three hits in the ninth inning. Street allowed two home runs in the appearance, which bring is season total up to 10 home runs, which is very high for having pitched just 26.1 innings. 21 PC-13 ST (6/23/13)(SU) Luke Gregerson (R)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Monday night allowing one hit while striking out one batter on nine pitches thrown. This was Gregerson's first appearance since last Thursday, so expect to see much more of him over the next few days. 9 PC-7 ST (6/24/13) (MR) Dale Thayer (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Tuesday night allowing one hit on 18 pitches thrown. Thayer has been pitching well as of late, but with Huston Street back in the mix he is a fringe fantasy player in holds leagues, at best. 18 PC-13 ST (6/25/13)San Francisco Giants(CL) Elite Sergio Romo (R)–Pitched 1.2 innings of relief on Saturday in a non-save situation allowing one hit while striking out three batters on 20 pitches thrown. Romo has been striking out a lot of batters over his last few appearances, raising his total to six strikeouts in his last 3.2 innings of work. 20 PC-15 ST (6/22/13) (SU) Jeremy Affeldt (L)--Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Saturday allowing one hit on only nine pitches thrown. Affeldt had allowed three runs in his previous two games, so it was nice to see him bounce back in this contest. 9 PC-5 ST (6/22/13) (MR) Javier Lopez (L)--Recorded the first out of the eighth inning in his appearance on Monday night needing only six pitched to get the job done. Lopez has now been used three of the last four days, but should be available Tuesday considering his low pitch counts over those contests. 6 PC-3 ST (6/24/13) Injured--Santiago Casilla (Knee)St. Louis Cardinals(CL) Elite Edward Mujica (R)–Was used in a non-save situation on Tuesday night allowing two hits and one walk in 0.2 innings of relief. Mujica was quickly removed from the contest after clearly not having his best stuff, but as we know, some pitcher are just better in save situations. 18 PC-11 ST (6/25/13) (SU) Trevor Rosenthal (R)--Pitched 0.1 innings of relief on Sunday allowing one hit while striking out one batter on 17 pitches thrown. Rosenthal was used to get the final out of the seventh inning, and was able to do so, just not in a ordering fashion. 17 PC-11 ST (6/23/13) (MR) Randy Choate (L)--Pitched 1.1 innings of relief on Sunday retiring all four batters he faced in order. Choate struck out two batters in the appearance while forcing two ground ball outs to get the job done. 15 PC-11 ST (6/23/13) Injured– Jason Motte (Elbow), Fernando Salas (Shoulder)Washington Nationals(CL) Solid Rafael Soriano (R)--Collected his 20th save of the season Tuesday despite allowing one run on three hits in the ninth inning.
