Johnson has been pitching very well as of late, so hopefully for his fantasy owners this is not the start of a bad run. 20 PC-11 ST (8/9/13) (SU) Darren O’Day (R)--Pitched 1.1 innings of relief on Wednesday afternoon retiring all four batters he faced in order. O'Day has pitched in each of the last two games, but with a scheduled day off on Thursday expect to see him back on the mound on Friday if needed. 15 PC-11 ST (8/7/13) (MR) Tommy Hunter (R)--Earned his third save of the season Friday night after pitching a scoreless 10th inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Hunter has been able to fill in nicely when needed to close out games, but is still considered to be behind Darren O'day on the depth chart. 10 PC-7 ST (8/9/13)Boston Red Sox(CL) Solid Koji Uehara (R)–Recorded his 11th save of the season Wednesday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out three batters on 19 pitches thrown.

Breslow will serve as the team's go-to lefty out of the bullpen with Matt Thorton sidelined, but has little fantasy value in holds leagues at this point. 13 PC-9 ST (8/9/13) Injured--Joel Hanrahan (Forearm), Andrew Bailey (Shoulder), Matt Thornton (Oblique)Chicago White Sox(CL) Solid Addison Reed (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning in Game 2 of Friday's doubleheader in a non-save situation allowing one hit on 15 pitches thrown. Reed has now pitched three times this week, but has been able to limit his pitch count, so expect him to be available for the rest of this weekend's series. 15 PC-10 ST (8/9/13) (SU) Matt Lindstrom (R)--Was used in both ends of Friday's doubleheader, earning his fifth hold of the season in Game 1 and being charged with a blown-save in the night cap. Since he pitched in both games, expect Lindstrom to get the day off on Saturday and be back in the mix on Sunday. 6 PC-4 ST (8/9/13) (MR) Nate Jones (R)--Was charged with a blown-save in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader after allowing one run on one hit in the seventh inning. Jones struck out two batters in the appearance, bringing his total up to seven strikeouts over his last 2.2 innings of relief. 18 PC-13 ST (8/9/13)Cleveland Indians(CL) Solid Chris Perez (R)--Pitched a scoreless 10th inning on Wednesday night in a non-save situation allowing one hit while striking out two batters on 13 pitches thrown. Perez bounced back nicely from a nightmare outing on Monday, so it appears he has put his troubles behind him. 13 PC-10 ST (8/7/13) (SU) Joe Smith (R)--Pitched a scoreless 11th inning on Wednesday night allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one batter on 14 pitches thrown. Smith has now pitched three of the last four days, so expect him to get the night off on Thursday. 14 PC-9 ST (8/7/13) (MR) Marc Rzepczynski (L)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Thursday night retiring all three batters he faced in order. He has now pitched four straight days, so expect to see him get the day off in Friday's series opener with the Angels. 17 PC-9 ST (8/8/13)Detroit Tigers(CL) Shaky Joaquin Benoit (R)–Recorded his 14th save of the season Wednesday despite allowing one run on two hits in the 14th inning.

Veras has done a great job since coming over from the Astros, but has little to no fantasy value outside of holds leagues while Joaquin Benoit continues to impress in the closer role. 15 PC-10 ST (8/9/13) (MR) Bruce Rondon (R)--Pitched 1.1 innings of relief on Friday night allowing two walks while striking out one batter on 23 pitches thrown. Rondon has been used to pitch multiple innings each of his last three appearances, as the team tries to stretch him out into a long relief man as the playoffs inch closer. 23 PC-12 ST( 8/9/13) Injured– Octavio Dotel (Shoulder)Houston Astros(CL) Committee Josh Fields (R)–Was used in the seventh inning on Friday night allowing two runs on two walks recording only one out before being pulled. After a great start to the week (1.1 IP 4 K 1 SV), Fields has now allowed five runs over his last two appearances, so there isn't much to like here. 12 PC-3 ST (8/9/13) (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) (MR) Wesley Wright (L)--Failed to record an out in his appearance on Friday night allowing one hit and one walk before being pulled. This is the type of outing we have grown to see from Wright this season, but with little help around him, he should be with the team the remainder of the season. 13 PC-7 ST (8/9/13)Kansas City Royals(CL) Solid Greg Holland (R)–Recorded his 31st save of the season Friday night after retiring all three batters he faced in order. Holland continues to be one of the best closers in all of baseball, and has been a big factor in the Royals latest push to stay in contention for a playoff spot. 11 PC-8 ST (8/9/13) (SU) Aaron Crow (R)–Earned his 17th hold of the season Wednesday after recording the final two outs of the seventh inning.

Frieri was used to get the final out of the ninth inning, but it wasn't before allowing his sixth and seventh runs over his in last three appearances. 16 PC-12 ST (8/6/13)(SU) Dane De La Rosa (R)--Earned his first save of the season Friday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one walk on 22 pitches thrown. De La Rosa may be used more down the stretch considering the struggles of Ernesto Frieri, and should be added to watch lists, especially those in desperate need of saves. 22 PC-13 ST (8/9/13)(MR) Kevin Jepsen (R)--Took the loss on Tuesday night after surrendering one run on two hits in the eighth inning. Jepsen had been pitching well prior to this appearance, so hopefully he will be able to get back on track next time out. 21 PC-15 ST (8/6/13) Injured:  Ryan Madson (Elbow), Sean Burnett (Elbow)Minnesota Twins(CL) Solid Glen Perkins (L)–Pitched both ends of Friday's doubleheader allowing two runs in a non-save situation in Game 1 and earned his 28th save in Game 2.

Rivera has looked human in each of his last two appearances, having now allowed three runs in that time frame, but expect him to bounce back as he has always done throughout the course of his career. 27 PC-14 ST (8/9/13) (SU) David Robertson (R)–Earned his 27th hold of the season Friday night after pitching a 1-2-3 eighth inning.

Farquhar is now 3-for-3 in save chances since taking over the closer role, so expect to see him continue to be used in the ninth inning moving forward. 15 PC-10 ST (8/7/13) (MR) Charlie Furbush (L)--Earned his 12th hold of the season Wednesday after recording the final two outs of the sixth inning.

Peralta faced two batters in the appearance, allowing one hit while forcing one fly ball out to secure the lead heading into the ninth inning. 7 PC-4 ST (8/9/13) (MR) Jake McGee (L)--Was used to get the first two outs of the eighth inning on Friday night allowing one run on one walk while striking out one batter on 19 pitches thrown. McGee has now allowed runs in back-to-back games, so hopefully he will be able to bounce back next time out. 19 PC-13 ST (8/9/13) Injured--Jesse Crain (Shoulder)Texas Rangers(CL) Elite Joe Nathan (R)–Recorded his 33rd save of the season Monday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one walk while striking out one batter on 14 pitches thrown. Nathan continues to get the job done for the Rangers with no signs of slowing down, so fantasy owners have to be happy heading into the playoff season. 14 PC-7 ST (8/5/13) (SU) Tanner Scheppers (R)–Earned his 20th hold of the season Friday after recording the first two outs of the eighth inning. Scheppers allowed two walks in the frame, but neither base runner came back to hurt him after Neal Cotts forced the final out of the frame to get him off the hook. 28 PC-15 ST (8/9/13) (MR) Joakim Soria (R)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Wednesday night retiring all three batters he faced in order. Soria needed only 13 pitches to work through the appearance, forcing one ground ball out and one fly ball out while striking out one batter to secure the Rangers lead. 13 PC-9 ST (8/7/13)Toronto Blue Jays(CL) Solid Casey Janssen (R)–Earned his 20th save of the season Monday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Janssen has now pitched back-to-back days, so there is a chance Brett Cecil will be used in the closer role on Tuesday night. 10 PC-8 ST (8/5/13) (SU) Brett Cecil (L)--Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Friday night in a non-save situation allowing one hit on 11 pitches thrown. Following some struggles  over the last few weeks, Cecil appears to have gotten back on track and has now recorded three straight scoreless relief appearances. 11 PC-7 ST (8/9/13) (MR) Aaron Loup (L)--Took the loss on Wednesday after surrendering two runs on two hits in the fifth inning. Loup has now surrendered three runs over his last three appearances, so hopefully next time out he can turn things around. 21 PC-12 ST (8/7/13) Injured– Steve Delabar (Shoulder)Continue to Page 2 to view the National League Bullpen Report...National League Bullpen Report Arizona Diamondbacks(CL) Shaky Brad Ziegler (R)--Picked up the win on Friday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order.

Bell has been very inconsistent this season, which ultimately forced the Diamondbacks to remove him from the closer role, so in terms of fantasy he is all about done. 23 PC-15 ST (8/9/13) (MR) David Hernandez (R)–Pitched 0.1 innings of relief on Saturday night allowing two runs on one hit and one walk in the eighth inning. Hernandez continues to struggle and is now in danger of losing the setup role. 13 PC-8 ST (8/3/13) Injured: Matt Reynolds (Elbow)Atlanta Braves(CL) Elite Craig Kimbrel (R)–Recorded his 36th save of the season Wednesday night after working out of a jam in the ninth inning.

Downs remains perfect since joining the Braves bullpen, and is a great source for holds moving forward. 6 PC-5 ST (8/9/13) Injured– Jonny Venters (Elbow),  Eric O’Flaherty (Elbow)Chicago Cubs(CL) Shaky Kevin Gregg (R)--Recorded his 24th save of the season Friday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one walk while striking out one batter on 21 pitches thrown.

Strop continues to be the best option in the Cubs bullpen, but will need Kevin Gregg to be moved in order to gain real fantasy value. 14 PC-7 ST (8/9/13) (MR) James Russell (L)--Earned his 18th hold of the season Friday night after striking out both batters he faced int he seventh inning. Russell continues to be used for matchup purposes, which has really hrut his fantasy value in deep holds leagues. 11 PC-6 ST (8/9/13) Injured--Kyuji Fujikawa (Forearm)Cincinnati Reds(CL) Elite Aroldis Chapman (L)–Recorded his 27th save of the season Wednesday afternoon after pitching a scoreless ninth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order.

Brothers continues to pitch well in place of Rafael Betancourt, but considering how bad the Rockies are playing right now, it is tough to use him in terms of fantasy. 12 PC-8 ST (8/9/13) (SU) Matt Belisle (R)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Thursday afternoon retiring all three batters he faced in order. Belisle needed only 10 pitches to work through the frame, forcing one ground ball out and one fly ball out to get the job done. 10 PC-8 ST (8/8/13) (MR) Wilton Lopez (R)–Took the loss on Tuesday night after allowing one run on two hits and one walk through two innings of work.

Dunn faced only two batters in the appearance, needing 14 pitches to get through what should be considered a mediocre appearance. 14 PC-8 ST (8/8/13) (MR) A.J. Ramos (R)--Earned his eighth hold of the season Thursday after pitching a scoreless sixth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Ramos needed 12 pitches to work through the appearance, forcing one fly ball out while striking out two batters to secure the Marlins lead heading into the seventh inning. 12 PC-9 ST (8/8/13)Milwaukee Brewers(CL) Shaky Jim Henderson (R)--Recorded his 16th save of the season Tuesday night after pitching 1.1 innings of relief.

Considering his high pitch count, there is a good chance Axford will be unavailable on Friday, so owners in holds leagues will want to plan accordingly. 33 PC-21 ST (8/8/13) (MR) Brandon Kintzler (R)--Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Friday night in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order. Kintzler needed six pitches to work through the frame, forcing three ground ball outs to seal the victory for the Brewers. 6 PC-5 ST (8/9/13)New York Mets(CL) Committee LaTroy Hawkins (R)--Recorded his second save of the season Thursday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Hawkins needed only 11 pitches to work through the frame, and has now converted both save chances he has been granted. 11 PC-8 ST (8/8/13) (CL) Committee David Aardsma (R)--Pitched 0.1 innings of relief on Friday night forcing the only batter he faced to fly out on two pitches thrown. Aardsma was considered to be a member of the closer committee with Bobby Parnell sidelined, but that has yet to be the case with La Troy Hawkins getting the nod both times the team needed a closer since Parnell's absence. 2 PC-2 ST (8/9/13) (MR) Scott Rice (L)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Friday night retiring all three batters he faced in order. Rice has now pitched back-to-back days, so there is a chance he will be give the day off on Saturday. 10 PC-7 ST (8/9/13) Injured– Frank Francisco (Elbow), Bobby Parnell (Neck)Philadelphia Phillies(CL) Solid Jonathan Papelbon (R)--Was used in a non-save situation Tuesday night allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and one walk.

Bastardo has now pitched back-to-back days, so there is a good chance he will be unavailable on Sunday. 25 PC-14 ST (8/3/13) (MR) Justin De Fratus (R)--Pitched a scoreless sixth inning on Friday night allowing one hit while striking out one batter on 16 pitches thrown. De Fratus was used earlier than usual, but that doesn't mean he has lost any of hit late inning value at this point, despite some struggles as of late. 16 PC-12 ST (8/9/13) Injured--Mike Adams (Shoulder)Pittsburgh Pirates(CL) Solid Mark Melancon (R)--Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Thursday afternoon in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order.

Gregerson has now allowed three runs over the last two days, so the scheduled day off on Thursday should be a good time to let him clear his head. 5 PC-4 ST (8/7/13) (MR) Dale Thayer (R)–Was used in the eighth inning on Wednesday after both Luke Gregerson and Colt Hynes failed to record an out in the inning. Thayer needed 19 pitches to clean up their mess, forcing one fly ball out while striking out two batters to stop the bleeding. 19 PC-13 ST (8/7/13)San Francisco Giants(CL) Solid Sergio Romo (R)–Was used to get the final two outs of the ninth inning on Thursday allowing one hit while striking out one batter on 11 pitches thrown. This was a non-save situation, although he entered with only a three-run lead, so fantasy owners got the shaft in this one. 11 PC-9 ST (8/8/13) (SU) Santiago Casilla (R)--Recorded the final out of the 10th inning on Friday night needing only five pitches to force the only batter he faced to ground out.

Lopez falls to 1-2 following this appearance, but considering his track record, he should be able to bounce back next time out. 17 PC-10 ST (8/9/13) Injured-- Jeremy AffeldtSt. Louis Cardinals(CL) Elite Edward Mujica (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Friday night in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order.

Clippard falls to 6-2 on the season following this appearance and he has now allowed runs in two of his last three appearances. 19 PC-14 ST (8/5/13) (MR) Ryan Mattheus (R)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Friday night retiring all three batters he faced in order on only six pitches thrown.
