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 26th save of the season Tuesday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit and one walk on 10 pitches thrown. Johnson allowed the game-tying run to enter the batter's box, but was able to work out of the jam by forcing two ground ball outs and one fly ball out to seal the victory for the Orioles. 10 PC-6 ST (6/18/13) (SU) Darren O’Day (R)--Was used to record the final two outs of the eighth inning on Saturday but allowed a two-run home run to Jose Bautista before doing so. O'Day has now pitched back-to-back days, so expect him to be given the day off on Sunday. 12 PC-9 ST (6/22/13) (MR) Brian Matusz (L)--Took the loss Friday after allowing one run on one hit and one walk in 1.1 innings of relief. Matusz has been very inconsistent this season and if his struggles continue, his role in the Orioles bullpen will start to be less meaningful. 23 PC-15 ST (6/21/13)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)–Recorded his 21st save of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Reed needed only 10 pitches to get through the appearance, forcing three fly ball outs to seal the victory for the White Sox. 10 PC-7 ST (6/22/13) (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)--Collected his third save of the season Saturday despite allowing two runs on two hits and one walk in the ninth inning. Pestano has looked terrible while filling in for Chris Perez, so expect him to be removed from the role quickly once Perez is back in action. 34 PC-18 ST (6/22/13) (SU) Joe Smith (R)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Friday retiring all three batters he faced in order. Smith had allowed a run to score in each of his last two appearances, so it was nice to see him get it done in orderly fashion in this contest. 14 PC-10 ST (6/21/13) (MR) Bryan Shaw (R)--Pitched 0.1 innings of relief on Saturday allowing one run on one hit and two walks in the seventh inning. Shaw has now allowed two runs over his last three appearances, and will need to turn things around if he wants to continue to be used in meaningful roles out of the Indians bullpen. 22 PC-12 ST (6/22/13) 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 one inning of relief on Friday night allowing two runs on one hit and one walk. Coke has now pitched back-to-back days, so expect him to get the day off on Saturday, especially after allowing three runs over his last two outings. 19 PC-11 ST (6/21/13) (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)--Picked up the win on Thursday after pitching a scoreless 10th inning allowing one walk while striking out one batter on 19 pitches thrown. Ambriz has now pitched back-to-back days, so it is unlikely be will be available out of the Astros bullpen on Friday. 19 PC-11 ST (6/20/13) (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) Kelvin Herrera (R)--Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Sunday allowing one run on one hit and one walk while striking out one batter on 20 pitches thrown. Herrera has been struggling as of late, and will need to turn things around before the Royals send him b=packing back to the minors. 20 PC-10 ST (6/23/13) (MR) 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)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)–Recorded his 26th save of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Rivera has now pitched back-to-back days, so expect him to be unavailable to pitch in the series finale on Sunday. 16 PC-13 ST (6/22/13) (SU) David Robertson (R)–Picked up his 17th hold of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Robertson has now pitched back-to-back days and three out of the last four, so expect him to get the day off on Sunday. 13 PC-8 ST (6/22/13) (MR) Boone Logan (R)–Failed to record an out in his last appearance on Sunday allowing a hit to the only batter he faced in the seventh inning. Logan threw just four pitches in the appearance, which was his third outings over the last four days. 4 PC-3 ST (6/23/13)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)--Took the loss on Saturday after surrendering two runs on four hits in the seventh inning. Cook falls to 1-1 following this performance, and has now allowed three runs over his last two outings. 24 PC-13 ST (6/22/13) (MR) Sean Doolittle (L)–Pitched two innings of relief on Sunday retiring all six batters he faced in order on 22 pitches thrown. Doolittle has now pitched back-to-back days, but with a scheduled day off on Monday, he will be available to pitch in the series opener with the Reds on Tuesday. 22 PC-18 ST (6/23/13)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)–Took the loss on Thursday after allowing two runs on three hits in the eighth inning. Capps has now allowed eight runs in his last three appearances, so expect his role to be limited until he works out his issues over the next few weeks. 15 PC-10 ST (6/20/13) (SU)  Tom Wilhelmsen (R)--Pitched one inning of relief on Friday night allowing two runs on two hits while striking out one batter on 20 pitches thrown. Wilhelmsen is having trouble rediscovering his confidence, and until then the Mariners will continue to use him in non-save situations. 20 PC-16 ST (6/21/13) Injured–Stephen Pryor (back)Tampa Bay Rays(CL) Shaky Fernando Rodney (R)–Collected his 15th save of the season Sunday after striking out the side in the ninth inning on 14 pitches thrown. Rodney has started to trend in the right direction, after three straight scoreless appearances, so it appears he is off the hot seat. 14 PC-9 ST (6/23/13) (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 13th hold of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless seventh inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter on 16 pitches thrown. McGee has now pitched back -to-back days, so expect him to be given the day off on Monday. 16 PC-11 ST (6/23/13)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)–Picked up his 15th hold of the season Sunday after pitching a 1-2-3 eighth inning needing only six pitches to get through the appearance. Scheppers has now pitched three of the last four days, so Monday's day off will allow him to rest up for their next series with the Yankees. 6 PC-4 ST (6/23/13) (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)–Earned his fourth hold of the season Wednesday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one walk while striking out three batters.

Putz (Elbow), Matt Reynolds (Elbow)Atlanta Braves(CL) Elite Craig Kimbrel (R)–Recorded his 21st save of the season Monday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning striking out two batters on 13 pitches thrown. Kimbrel has now earned saves in four of his last five appearances, with the one appearance picking up a win, so he has been a big part of the Braves success thus far. 13 PC-10 ST (6/23/13) (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.

Hoover (R)--Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Friday night allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one batter.

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.

League improved to 3-3 with this appearance, which was his second in three days. 3 PC-1 ST (6/23/13) (MR) Ronald Belisario (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Friday night retiring all three batters he faced in order. Belisario has been struggling as of late, so it was nice to see him work through a scoreless frame without allowing any base runners, even though the Dodgers did not have the lead. 10 PC-7 ST (6/21/13)Miami Marlins(CL) Shaky Steve Cishek (R)–Recorded his 12th save of the season Friday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing two hits on 23 pitches thrown.

Dunn has been on the decline over the last few weeks, and has now allowed an earned-run in two of his last three appearances, which could lead to him losing the setup role if he continues down this road. 16 PC-13 ST (6/22/13) (MR) A.J. Ramos (R)--Picked up the win on Friday after pitching a scoreless seventh inning needing only 13 pitches to get the job done.

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.

Hawkins needed only nine pitches to get through the appearance forcing one ground ball out and one fly ball out while striking out one batter to get the job done. 9 PC-7 ST (6/23/13) Injured– Frank Francisco (Elbow)Philadelphia Phillies(CL) Elite Jonathan Papelbon (R)--Picked up the win Saturday despite being charged with his third blown-save of the season after allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits in the ninth inning. Papelbon has now allowed runs in back-to-back appearances, so hopefully he will be able to work through this rough stretch, limiting the damage. 18 PC-14 ST (6/22/13) (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)–Earned his 10th hold of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one hit while striking out two batters on 14 pitches thrown. It was a surprise to see the Phillies used Bastardo in the eighth inning over Mike Adams, so maybe there is something more to this appearance than the team will let us know. 14 PC-11 ST (6/22/13)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)--Earned his second save of the season Thursday after pitching two innings of scoreless relief.

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)–Earned his 12th hold of the season Thursday after retiring the only batter he faced to end the eighth inning. Gregerson has now pitched three of the last four days, so there is a good chance he will be given the day off on Friday. .6 PC-4 ST (6/20/13) (MR) Dale Thayer (R)–Pitched one inning of relief on Friday allowing one run on two hits while striking out one batter on 17 pitches thrown. Thayer has now allowed three runs over his last two appearances, and will need to turn things around if he wants to have a significant role int he Padres bullpen moving forward. 17 PC-12 ST (6/21/13)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.

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)--Failed to record an out in his appearance on Saturday allowing one hit to the only batter he faced in the 10th inning. Lopez threw only one pitch in the appearance, so he should be available Sunday although he has now pitched back-to-back days. Injured--Santiago Casilla (Knee)St. Louis Cardinals(CL) Elite Edward Mujica (R)–Recorded his 21st save of the season Wednesday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning retiring all three 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 19th save of the season Friday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter on 18 pitches thrown.

After a shaky start to the season, Clippard has really made it come together, and has now made seven straight scoreless relief appearances. 18 PC-10 ST (6/19/13)Matthew Beck is a Fantasy Sports Columnist for Rotoinfo.com.
