Johnson has now blown saves in back-to-back games, and could be on his way out as the team's closer. 16 PC-10 ST (8/14/13) (SU) Darren O’Day (R)--Earned his 18th hold of the season Wednesday after pitching 0.2 innings of relief allowing one hit and one walk in the seventh inning. O'Day needed 21 pitches to work through the frame, forcing two fly ball outs to get the job done. 21 PC-12 ST (8/14/13) (MR) Tommy Hunter (R)--Pitched three innings of relief on Wednesday retiring all 12 batters he faced in order. Hunter may be in line to receive some save opportunities in the near future with Jim Johnson struggling, so in deep leagues he is  a solid add in case a change was to be made in the closer role. 32 PC-25 ST (8/14/13)Boston Red Sox(CL) Solid Koji Uehara (R)–Picked up the win on Tuesday after pitching 1.1 innings of relief on extra innings retiring all four batters he faced in order.

Considering his high pitch count, there is a good chance the White Sox will elect to give their closer the afternoon off. 32 PC-21 ST (8/13/13) (SU) Matt Lindstrom (R)--Earned his 13th hold of the season Tuesday night after pitching 1.2 innings of relief allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one batter on 30 pitches thrown. Lindstrom pitched in both ends of Friday's doubleheader and was then given the next three days off, so despite the high pitch count, he should be available on Wednesday. 30 PC-20 ST (8/13/13) (MR) Nate Jones (R)--Pitched two innings of relief on Tuesday night allowing one run (unearned) on one hit and one walk while striking out two batters. Jones has been a strikeout machine over his last few appearances, recording eight strikeouts through four innings of work. 29 PC-18 ST (8/13/13)Cleveland Indians(CL) Solid Chris Perez (R)--Picked up the win on Wednesday despite being charged with his fourth blown-save after allowing one run on two hits in two innings of relief.

Smith needed only nine pitches to work through the frame, forcing one ground ball out and one fly ball out while striking out one batter to get the job done. 9 PC-8 ST (8/14/13) (MR) Marc Rzepczynski (L)--Pitched two innings of scoreless relief on Monday night allowing two walks while striking out two batters on 38 pitches thrown.

Fields struggled his last time in the closer role, but he is clearly a front runner after this appearance. 14 PC-9 ST (8/14/13) (CL) Committee Travis Blackley (L)--Failed to record an out in his appearance on Wednesday night after allowing one hit and one walk in the seventh inning. This was a terrible outing from Blackley, but he got lucky that his teammate Chia-Jen Lo got him off the hook. 12 PC-5 ST (8/7/13) (CL) Committee Chia-Jen Lo (R)--Earned his first save of the season Tuesday night after recording the final four outs of the contest on 23 pitches thrown. Lo has yet to give up an earned-run since being called up from the minors, and could become the front runner for save chances if he keeps it up. 23 PC-16 ST (8/13/13)Kansas City Royals(CL) Solid Greg Holland (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Tuesday night in a non-save situation allowing one hit while striking out one batter on 15 pitches thrown. Holland continues to turn heads with his scoreless frames, and has now struck out five batters over his last three innings of work. 15 PC-10 ST (8/13/13) (SU) Aaron Crow (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Tuesday night allowing one hit on 18 pitches thrown. Crow forced one ground ball out while striking out two batters to keep the Royals within striking distance. 18 PC-11 ST (8/13/13) (MR) Kelvin Herrera (R)--Took the loss on Tuesday night after surrendering one run on one hit in the 10th inning.

Frieri has temporarily been removed from the closer role and will be used in lower leverage situations for the time being, so look for Dane De La Rosa to be used in the closer role for now. 9 PC-7 ST (8/10/13) (MR) Kevin Jepsen (R)--Pitched one inning of relief on Wednesday night surrendering two runs on two hits and one walk on 24 pitches thrown. Jepsen was roughed up in this appearance, but the game was already out of reach for the Angels, so it could have been worse. 24 PC-12 ST (8/14/13) Injured:  Ryan Madson (Elbow), Sean Burnett (Elbow)Minnesota Twins(CL) Solid Glen Perkins (L)–Pitched 1.1 innings of relief on Wednesday in a non-save situation allowing one run on one hit while striking out three batters on 21 pitches thrown. Perkins served up a solo-home run in the appearance, but the lead didn't slip away until the 12th inning, so Perkins wasn't credited with the loss. 21 PC-16 ST (8/14/13) (SU) Casey Fien (R)--Pitched 0.1 innings of relief on Wednesday surrendering four runs (three earned) on three hits. This was arguably Fien's worst outing of the season after recording only one out in the frame, so hopefully he can get back on track next time he takes the mound. 17 PC-12 ST (8/14/13) (MR) Jared Burton (R)–Earned his 20th hold of the season Wednesday after pitching a scoreless seventh inning retiring all three batters he faced in order.

The Yankees gave Mariano Rivera the day off after blowing his third straight save Sunday, but expect Robertson to be back in his usual role on Tuesday. 22 PC-10 ST (8/12/13) (MR) Boone Logan (R)–Earned his seventh hold of the season Monday night despite allowing one run on one hit in the ninth inning. Logan needed seven pitches to work through the appearance, luckily for him David Robertson was able to seal the win after Logan gave up the run. 7 PC-6 ST (8/12/13)Oakland Athletics(CL) Elite Grant Balfour (R)–Pitched a scoreless 10th inning on Wednesday night in a non-save situation allowing one hit while striking out two batters on 22 pitches thrown.

Cook needed only eighth pitches to get through the appearance, forcing one ground ball out while striking out one batter to take the game to extra innings. 8 PC-6 ST (8/14/13) (MR) Sean Doolittle (L)–Took the loss on Wednesday night after surrendering one run on two hits in the 11th inning. Doolittle had been pitching better as of late, but this outing shows he is still far away from being an elite reliever in the big leagues. 22 PC-17 ST (8/14/13)Seattle Mariners(CL) Shaky Danny Farquhar (R)--Took the loss and was charged with a blown-save after surrendering two runs on four hits and one walk in the ninth inning. This was Farquhar's first blown-save since taking over the closer role, but with all things considered, he will likely be on a short leash. 15 PC-8 ST (8/14/13) (MR) Charlie Furbush (L)--Earned his 13th hold of the season Wednesday after pitching 1.2 innings of scoreless relief. Furbush retired all five batters he faced in order, forcing two ground ball outs and one fly ball out while striking out two batters to get the job done. 25 PC-16 ST (8/14/13) (MR) Yoervis Medina (R)--Earned his 11th hold of the season Wednesday after pitching 1.1 innings of scoreless relief.

McGee has now pitched back-to-back days, so expect him to get the day off on Thursday. 18 PC-11 ST (8/14/13) Injured--Jesse Crain (Shoulder)Texas Rangers(CL) Elite Joe Nathan (R)–Recorded his 36th save of the season Wednesday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order.

The Rangers were already down by a lot so at least the run allowed by Soria did not effect the outcome of the game. 28 PC-17 ST (8/13/13)Toronto Blue Jays(CL) Solid Casey Janssen (R)–Pitched one inning of relief on Tuesday night in a non-save situation allowing one hit while striking out one batter on 14 pitches thrown.

Diekman forced two ground ball outs in the appearance, and has now put together back-to-back solid appearances. 2 PC-2 ST (8/13/13) Injured--Mike Adams (Shoulder)Pittsburgh Pirates(CL) Solid Mark Melancon (R)--Was charged with his second blown-save of the season Tuesday night after surrendering one run (unearned) on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. Melancon will continue to get the call in save situations, especially considering it was the defense behind him that caused the blown-save. 16 PC-8 ST (8/13/13) (SU) Tony Watson (L)--Was used to record the final out of the sixth inning on Sunday afternoon, forcing a fly ball out on four pitches thrown.
