Johnson remains perfect on the season with this outing, extending his scoreless innings streak to 8 innings to start the year. 16 PC-10 ST (4/18/13) (SU) Pedro Strop (R)–Failed to get the job done once again on Tuesday night allowing three runs on two hits and one walk in 0.2 innings of relief. Strop allowed two home runs in the appearance, and is now sitting on a 10.80 ERA for the year, and is starting to look like maybe he was overused last season and now the team has to pay. 22 PC-11 ST (4/16/13) (MR) Darren O'Day (R)--Was charged with a blown-save on Thursday after allowing a home run to James Loney in the eighth inning. This was the first eared-run allowed by O'Day this season and luckily for him the team was able to escape with the win in their series finale. 13 PC-8 ST (4/18/13)Boston Red Sox(CL) Shaky Andrew Bailey (R)–Recorded his second save of the season Thursday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning. After a meltdown in his first save chance on Monday, Bailey has now converted saves in back-to-back games, which has likely earned him a day off on Friday. 13 PC-10 ST (4/18/13) (SU) Koji Uehara (R)–Picked up his fifth hold of the season Thursday after recording the final out of the eighth inning. Uehara wasn't supposed to pitch in this game, but after Andrew Millers failed to get the job done Uehara came in and cleaned up his mess, and has now pitched back-to-back days. 11 PC-7 ST (4/18/13) (MR) Junichi Tazawa (R)--Earned his third hold of the season Wednesday after pitching two scoreless innings of relief. Tazawa retired all six batters he faced in order fanning four batter while forcing one ground ball out and one fly ball out to help secure the win for the Red Sox. 25 PC-17 ST (4/17/13) Injured-- Joel Hanrahan (Groin)Chicago White Sox(CL) Solid Addison Reed (R)–Recorded his fifth save of the season Tuesday despite allowing one run on two hits in the ninth inning. Luckily for Reed, the White Sox had a big enough lead that this didn't effect the outcome of the game, but it was only the first run he allowed all season, so it could have been worse. 14 PC-11 ST (4/16/13) (SU) Matt Thornton (L)–Picked up his fourth hold of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning giving up one hit while striking out one batter. With Addison Reed pitching back-to-back days, Thornton may be used in a save situation on Monday if one was to arise when the team takes on the Blue Jays. 20 PC-12 (4/14/13) (MR) Jesse Crain (R)–Took the loss on Friday night after allowing one run on two hits and one walk in the ninth inning. He failed to get the job done in a tied game and has now pitched back-to-back days, so he will likely be unavailable Saturday. 16 PC-7 ST (4/12/13) Cleveland Indians (CL) Solid Chris Perez (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Thursday in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order. The Indians just aren't winning right now, and as long as that continues, Perez will not get a chance to contribute in the fantasy game. 17 PC-13 ST (4/18/13) (SU) Vinnie Pestano (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Wednesday retiring all three batters he faced in order in a non-save situation. Pestano threw just eight pitches in the appearance with all eight going over for strikes, in what was his first outing since Wednesday. 8 PC-8 ST (4/17/13) (MR) Bryan Shaw (R)–Pitched two innings of relief on Thursday allowing two runs (zero earned) on two hits while striking out two batters. Shaw hasn't done much in terms of fantasy this season, but at least he is racking up strikeouts, totaling eight strikeouts over his last three appearances. 27 PC-22 ST (4/18/13)Detroit Tigers(CL) Committee Joaquin Benoit (R)–Recorded his first save of the season Wednesday after pitching a scoreless 14th inning allowing two hits. It wasn't the cleanest of performances, but Benoit was able to seal the deal pitching on back-to-back days to notch his first save in as many tries. 13 PC-10 ST (4/17/13) (CL) Committee Phil Coke (L)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Thursday retiring all three batters he faced in order. Coke has now pitched back-to-back days and may be unavailable to pitch on Friday, so plan accordingly. 16 PC-11 ST (4/18/13) (MR) Octavio Dotel (R)–Failed to record an out in Wednesday's appearance allowing one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. Dotel has been very shaky to start the season and will need to put together a few good outings before being considered for the team's closer committee once again. 8 PC-3 ST (4/17/13) Houston Astros (CL) Shaky Jose Veras (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Wednesday giving up one hit while striking out one batter. Since the Astros haven't been in many tight ball games this season, the only way Vera makes it into the game is in non-save situations, which helps no one. 15 PC-9 ST (4/17/13) (SU) Rhiner Cruz (R)–Took the loss on Tuesday night after surrendering one run on one hit and one walk in the eighth inning. Cruz has now given up at least one run in three straight appearances, and will need to turn things around if he wants to remain a key player in the Astros bullpen. 20 PC-11 ST (4/16/13) (MR) Wesley Wright (L)--Pitched 2.1 innings of relief on Wednesday allowing two hit and one walk while striking out one batter. Despite allowing three base runners, Wright was able to escape the outing unharmed, but needed 33 pitches so he will likely be given an extra day off for his efforts. 33 PC-17 ST (4/17/13) Injured--Josh Fields  (Forearm) Kansas City Royals (CL) Shaky Greg Holland (R)–Recorded his third save of the season Wednesday after striking out the side on just 14 pitches thrown. After a shaky start to the season, Holland is starting to come together, and will likely hold onto the closer role until the wheels fall completely off. 14 PC-9 ST (4/17/13) (SU) Kelvin Herrera (R)–Picked up his third hold of  the season Wednesday, just one day removed from allowing three home runs in an appearance. Apparently Herrera has thick skin, after coming into this appearance as if nothing happened Tuesday, so continue using him in holds leagues moving forward. 17 PC-10 ST (4/17/13) (MR) Aaron Crow (R)–Recorded the final out of the eighth inning on Tuesday night after Kelvin Herrera blew the lead for Jeremy Guthrie. Crow has yet to give up an earned-run this season, and might be next in line to close for the Royals after this disastrous performance from Herrera. 16 PC-10 ST (4/16/13) Los Angeles Angels (CL) Shaky Ernesto Frieri (R)–Recorded his second save of the season on Sunday after recording the final four outs of the game. All four of his outs were via the strikeout, which is his specialty and the Astros worst enemy, so it was a nice pairing that favored Frieri in this one. 24 PC-15 ST (4/14/13) (SU) Sean Burnett (L)--Picked up his first hold of the season Sunday after pitching a 1-2-3 seventh inning. Burnett has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely be given a day of rest on Monday. 11 PC-7 ST (4/14/13) (MR) Scott Downs (L)–Picked up his second hold of the season Sunday after pitching 0.2 innings of relief. Downs allowed two base runners and was pulled before any damage could be done, as he continues to struggle early on this season. 20 PC-12 ST (4/14/13) Injured:  Ryan Madson (Elbow)Minnesota Twins(CL) Solid Glen Perkins (L)–Earned his third save of the season Tuesday night after recording the final two outs of the ninth inning. This was a nice bounce back performance for Perkins, who allowed two runs in his outing last Friday, so it appears Perkins is right back on track after this one. 14 PC-10 ST (4/16/13) (SU) Jared Burton (R)–Picked up his third hold of the season Monday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning. Burton allowed one hit in the appearance, but worked through it by forcing two ground ball outs while striking out one batter to continue his scoreless innings streak. 14 PC-10 ST (4/15/13) (MR) Casey Fien (R)–Was used to record the final three outs of the game Tuesday night retiring all three batters he faced in order. The Twins had a big lead in this contest, so they wanted to give Fien some extra work, and he was able to get the job done and seal the deal for the Twins. 12 PC-8 ST (4/15/13)New York Yankees(CL) Elite Mariano Rivera (R)–Recorded his fourth save of the season Wednesday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning. Rivera has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely need the day off on Thursday considering his age, so David Robertson could be in line for a spot save if needed. 17 PC-10 ST (4/17/13) (SU) David Robertson (R)–Pitched a scoreless 10th inning on Thursday giving up one hit on 18 pitches thrown. With this appearance Robertson remains perfect on the season continuing to prove why he may be the best setup man in the game. 18 PC-10 ST (4/18/13) (MR) Boone Logan (R)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Thursday retiring the first two batters of the eighth inning. Logan needed only seven pitches to get through the appearance, so expect him to be available for this weekend's series when the Yankees take on the Blue Jays.Oakland Athletics(CL) Solid Grant Balfour (R)–Recorded his third save of the season Wednesday despite allowing one run on two hits in the ninth inning. It was a bit of a surprise to see him take the mound after pitching back-to-back days this early in the season, but with a day off on Thursday, he should be ready to go for this weekend's series against the Rays. 19 PC-11 ST (4/17/13) (SU) Ryan Cook (R)–Picked up his third hold of the season Wednesday after pitching 1.1 innings of scoreless relief. He allowed one base runner while striking out three batters, which brings his total to 14 strikeouts on the season. 21 PC-16 ST (4/17/13) (MR) Sean Doolittle (L)–Picked up the win despite being charged with his first blown-save of the season after surrendering a game-tying home run in the eighth inning. The run allowed by Doolittle was his first of the season, and after pitching back-to-back days he may not be available to pitch on Wednesday. 17 PC-13 ST (4/16/13)Seattle Mariners(CL) Solid Tom Wilhelmsen (R)–Recorded his sixth save of the season Thursday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning. Wilhelmsen has now pitched three innings over the last two days, so there is a possibility that the Mariners will elect not to use him in Friday, so if you have a closer on your bench it would be wise to use him in his place. 14 PC-11 ST (4/18/13) (SU) Carter Capps (R)--Picked up the win on Thursday after pitching two innings of relief giving up two hits and one walk while striking out three batters. Capps has now pitched back-to-back days, and considering his high pitch count, he may be unavailable to pitch on Friday. 40 PC-23 ST (4/18/13) (MR) Charlie Furbush (L)–Took the loss on Wednesday after allowing one run on one hit and two walks in the 13th inning. Furbush ash now pitched back-to-back days and will likely need a day off after throwing a lot of pitches in those contests. 32 PC-17 ST (4/17/13)Injured--Stephen Pryor (back)Tampa Bay Rays(CL) Solid Fernando Rodney (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Wednesday in a non-save situation allowing one walk while striking out one batter. Rodney has just one save through the first two and a half weeks of the season, but once the Rays offense gets going more save chances should come his way, so fantasy owners need not worry about his lack of production early on. 19 PC-10 ST (4/17/13) (SU) Joel Peralta (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Thursday retiring the side on 12 pitches thrown. Peralta has now pitched three of the last four days and will likely get the day off on Friday. 12 PC-7 ST (4/18/13) (MR) Jake McGee (L)–Was charged with his second blown-save of the season Thursday after allowing a game-tying home run to Steve Pearce in the seventh inning. Like his teammate Joel Peralta, McGee has now pitched three of the last four days, so a day off is likely on Friday. 18 PC-11 ST (4/18/13) Texas Rangers (CL) Elite Joe Nathan (R)–Recorded his fifth save of the season Tuesday night after recording the final out of the ninth inning. The inning did not start out as a save situation, but when Michael Kirkman failed to get the job done Nathan entered for a quick, not easy, save situation in which he converted despite allowing two base runners. 20 PC-14 ST (4/16/13) (SU) Jason Frasor (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Thursday allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one batter. Frasor has been used sparingly this season, this being his first appearance since last Friday, which has really limited his fantasy upside in holds leagues. 23 PC-14 ST (4/18/13) (MR) Tanner Scheppers (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Tuesday allowing one hit on just nine pitches thrown. Scheppers has really stepped up his game in the absence of Joakim Soria to establish himself as a solid middle reliever, and one that can be trusted even in fantasy leagues  that count holds. 9 PC-5 ST (4/16/13) Injured– Joakim Soria (Elbow)Toronto Blue Jays(CL) Shaky Casey Janssen (R)–Recorded his fifth save of the season Thursday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning. Janssen has been solid as the Blue Jays closer, and with Sergio Santos on the disabled list, there is no chance of him losing his job any time soon. 8 PC-5 ST (4/18/13) (SU) Steve Delabar (R)–Took the loss on Tuesday night after surrendering two runs on one hit and three walks in 1.1 innings of relief. Delabar just didn't have control of his pitches in this matchup, which resulted in him spoiling John Johnson's best outing of the season. 36 PC-16 ST (4/16/13) (MR) Esmil Rogers (R)--Picked up his third hold of the season on Thursday despite allowing one run on one hit in 1.1 innings of relief. Rogers needed 24 pitches to get through the appearance, so there is a chance he will get the day off on Friday when the Blue Jays start their weekend series with the Yankees. 24 PC-17 ST (4/18/13) Injured-- Sergio Santos (Triceps)Continue to Page 2 to view the National League Bullpen Report...National League Bullpen ReportArizona Diamondbacks(CL) Solid J.J. Putz (R)–Was charged with his second blown-save of the season Thursday after surrendering a game-tying home run to Francisco Cervelli in the bottom of the ninth inning. Outside of one bad pitch to Cervelli, Putz has been pitching well this season, so don't look too much into this outing. 20 PC-11 ST (4/18/13) (SU) David Hernandez (R)–Earned his fourth hold of the season Thursday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning giving up one hit and two walks while striking out one batter. This was a rough outing for Hernandez, but he was able to work through the jam to get the job done. 30 PC-17 ST (4/18/13) (MR) Heath Bell (R)–Earned the win on Thursday after pitching a scoreless 11th inning giving up two hits while striking out one batter. Bell has really turned it around over the course of his last few outings, and could be a nice source for holds. 19 PC-13 (4/18/13)Atlanta Braves(CL) Elite Craig Kimbrel (R)–Recorded his seventh save of the season Thursday after striking out the side in the ninth inning. With this appearance, Kimbrel remains perfect on the season and has yet to give up an earned-run proving why he is the best closer in the game right now. 16 PC-12 ST (4/18/13) (SU) Eric O’Flaherty (R)–Picked up his fifth hold of the season Thursday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Like his teammate Craig Kimbrel, O'Flaherty is having a great season thus far and is emerging as one of the best setup men in the game. 13 PC-7 ST (4/18/13) (MR) Jordan Walden (R)–Pitched one inning of relief on Friday night giving up two hits on 11 pitches thrown. Walden got himself into a jam, but was able to work through the base runners by forcing three ground ball outs to get through the outing. 11 PC-8 ST (4/12/13) Injured– Jonny Venters (Elbow) Chicago Cubs(CL) Committee Shawn Camp (R)--Lasted only 0.1 innings in this appearance on Tuesday allowing two runs on two hits. Camp has now allowed six runs over his last two outings, and has likely fallen out of the closer committee in Chicago. 11 PC-6 ST (4/16/13)(CL) Committee Carlos Marmol (R)–Pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning on Thursday in a non-save situation striking out two batters on just 12 pitches thrown. The Cubs has announce that Marmol could be in the mix to see some same situations, so those who are willing to take a gamble on him should snag him off the waiver wire and go get yourself some aspirin because it could give you a headache. 12 PC-8 ST (4/18/13) (MR) James Russell (L)–Pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning on Thursday striking out one batter while forcing two ground ball outs. The Cubs announced Wednesday that they will not use Russell in the closer role since he is their only lefty in the bullpen, so despite his great start, he is out of the running for the ninth inning.Cincinnati Reds(CL) Elite Aroldis Chapman (L)–Picked up his second win of the season Tuesday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning in a tied ball game. He struck out two batters in the appearance and has yet to give up an earned-run this season. 17 PC-11 ST (4/16/13) (SU) Jonathan Broxton (R)--Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Thursday in a non-save situation giving up one hit in the appearance. It was nice to see Broxton handle his business in this game, considering his previous outing, so he should be back in lineups in holds leagues. 11 PC-6 ST (4/18/13) (MR) J.J. Hoover (R)--Pitched a scoreless inning of relief on Thursday retiring all three batters he faced in order. Hoover struck out one batter while forcing two ground ball outs on just 11 pitches thrown to work through the seventh inning. 11 PC-8 ST (4/18/13) Injured--Sean Marshall (Shoulder)Colorado Rockies(CL) Solid Rafael Betancourt (R)–Was used in both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader, being used in a non-save situation in Game 1 and picking up the win in Game 2. considering his pitch count in Game 2, it is likely he will get a day off on Wednesday, so look for Rex Brothers to get the ninth inning call if needed. 26 PC-14 ST (4/16/13) (SU) Rex Brothers (L)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Tuesday night allowing one hit and one walk in the appearance. With Rafael Betancourt being used in both games Tuesday, he may get the day off on Wednesday, so Brothers could be in line to earn a spot save if needed. 19 PC-11 ST (4/16/13) (MR) Wilton Lopez (R)–Picked up his second hold Tuesday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning. He allowed two base runners in the contest, but was able to work out of the jam by forcing two ground ball outs and one fly ball out to help secure at least a split of Tuesday's doubleheader. 13 PC-8 ST (4/16/13)Los Angeles Dodgers(CL) Shaky Brandon League (R)–Pitched one inning of relief on Tuesday night in a non-save situation giving up one run on one hit. League has now given up an earned-run in two of his last three games, and if that continues we could see a change in the ninth inning role in Los Angeles. 22 PC-14 ST (4/16/13) (SU) Kenley Jansen (R)–Pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning on Wednesday in a non-save situation striking out one batter while forcing two ground ball outs. Jansen has now pitched back-to-back days, but with a day off on Thursday, he will be available to pitch in the series opener against the Orioles on Friday. (MR) Ronald Belisario (R)–Pitched one inning of relief on Wednesday allowing two hits and one walk while striking out one batter. The damage was already done before Belisario entered the game, so despite allowing three base runners, this wasn't the worst performance from the Dodgers relievers. 21 PC-12 ST (4/17/13)Miami Marlins(CL) Solid Steve Cishek (R)–Was used in a non-save situation on Wednesday allowing one run (zero earned) on two hits in the ninth inning. Cishek is still waiting to record his first save of the season, and until that happens, he has little to no fantasy value, considering the last-luster offense that Miami throws onto the field. 20 PC-14 ST (4/17/13) (SU) Jon Rauch (R)–Pitched a scoreless seventh inning on Thursday retiring all three batters he faced in order. Rauch struck out two batters in the appearance while forcing one fly ball out to work through the inning. 10 PC-8 ST (4/18/13) (MR) Mike Dunn (L)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Tuesday night in a non-save situation giving up one hit in the appearance. This was Dunn's first appearance since Saturday, so he should be expected to be available over the next few days, but likely in similar situations. 14 PC-10 ST (4/16/13)Milwaukee Brewers(CL) Shaky Jim Henderson (R)–Recorded his second win of the season Wednesday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one walk while striking out one batter. Henderson has now pitched back-to-back days and may be given the day off on Thursday, so fantasy owners may want to use a different option if one is available, especially if the Brewers learned their lesson from the Axford debacle. 17 PC-8 ST (4/17/13) (SU) John Axford (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Thursday retiring all three batters he faced in order. After a terrible start to the season which featured him losing the closer role, Axford has now put together three consecutive solid outings as he continues to try and salvage the season. 13 PC-9 ST (4/18/13) (MR) Michael Gonzalez (L)–Pitched a scoreless seventh inning on Thursday allowing one hit while striking out two batters. This was Gonzalez's first appearance since Sunday, so expect him to be available the next few days if needed. 17 PC-10 ST (4/18/13)New York Mets(CL) Shaky Bobby Parnell (R)–Was charged with his first blown-save of the season Tuesday after allowing one hit while striking out two batters in 1.1 innings of work. Parnell forced across the game-tying runs, but was not charged with any of the runs due to a few errors by the team, so this outing wasn't as bad as it may look. 23 PC-15 ST (4/16/13) (SU) Brandon Lyon (R)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief in both ends of Tuesday's doubleheader, allowing one run in each appearance. Having pitched in both games, Lyon will likely get the day off on Wednesday when the team's wrap up the three-game series, so don't expect to see him take the mound. 15 PC-11 ST (4/16/13) (MR) Josh Edgin (L)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Thursday allowing two runs on two hits in the seventh inning. In his last two appearances combined, Edgin has now given up six earned-runs and if that continues, there could be a demotion in the near future for the Mets lefty. 12 PC-10 ST (4/18/13) Injured– Frank Francisco (Elbow)Philadelphia Phillies(CL) Elite Jonathan Papelbon (R)–Pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning on Thursday in a non-save situation thrown only 11 pitches. Papelbon forced three fly ball outs, which isn't exactly what you want to see from a pitcher, considering too many fly balls eventually turn into home runs and problems down the line. 11 PC-9 ST (4/18/13) (SU) Mike Adams (R)–Took the loss Thursday after surrendering one run on two hits and one walk in the eighth inning. With this appearance Adams is now 0-1 on the season and may get teh day off on Friday after a high pitch count. 22 PC-13 ST (4/18/13) (MR) Antonio Bastardo (L)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning in Tuesday's loss to the Reds retiring all three batters he faced in order. Bastardo has pitched exceptionally well this season  and has not allowed an earned-run through six innings pitched in the young season. 14 PC-10 ST (4/16/13)Pittsburgh Pirates(CL) Solid Jason Grilli (R)--Recorded the final out in Wednesday's shutout of the Cardinals, striking out the only batter he faced in the appearance. Grilli has been a pleasant surprise so far this season and if his efforts continue, we could be talking about him cracking the top 10 among fantasy closers in no time. 4 PC-3 ST (4/17/13) (SU) Mark Melancon (R)–Earned his fifth hold of the season Wednesday after pitching a 1-2-3 eighth inning. Melancon struck out one batter while forcing two ground ball outs to get the job done with ease. 7 PC-5 ST (4/17/13) (MR) Jared Hughes (R)–Took the loss on Thursday after allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out two batters. This was Hughes' worst outing of the season, and it cost the Pirates the game, so expect him to get a day off on Friday so he can clear his head. 30 PC-15 ST (4/18/13)San Diego Padres(CL) Solid Huston Street (R)–Was used in a non-save situation on Wednesday night allowing one run on one hit and two walks in the ninth inning. It was not a clean outing for Street, but he was eventually able to seal the win for the Padres in what has become a heated rivalry. 26 PC-11 ST (4/17/13) (SU) Luke Gregerson (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Wednesday retiring all three batters he faced in order. Gregerson had it going in this one, striking out one batter while forcing one ground ball out and one fly ball out on 12 pitches. 12 PC-9 ST (4/17/13) (MR) Dale Thayer (R)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Wednesday allowing one run while striking out one batter. This was Thayer's first appearance since Sunday, so expect him to be ready to go for this weekend's series against the Giants. 22 PC-13 ST (4/17/13)San Francisco Giants(CL) Elite Sergio Romo (R)–Recorded his seventh save of the season on Sunday after pitching a scoreless 10th inning. This was Romo's first appearance since recording his first blown-save, so it was nice to see him get back on track without it turning into a cold streak. 9 PC-8 ST (4/14/13) (SU) Javier Lopez (L)– Pitched 0.1 innings of relief on Thursday giving up one hit in the appearance. He threw just seven pitches in the outing, which was his first since last Sunday, so expect him to be available for this weekend's series against the Padres. 7 PC-4 ST (4/18/13) (MR) Santiago Casilla (R)–Took the loss on Wednesday after allowing one run on four hits and two walks in 1.1 innings of relief. If you allow six base runners you are bound to give up at least one run, so the outcome should have came at no surprise to anyone with knowledge of the game. 34 PC-17 ST (4/17/13)St. Louis Cardinals(CL) Shaky Edward Mujica (R)–Earned his first save of the season on Thursday after recording the final four outs of the game. It was not a clean outing, but the team already used Trevor Rosenthal in the eighth inning, so they stuck with him despite having Mitchell Boggs available to pitch. 19 PC-14 ST (4/18/13)(SU) Trevor Rosenthal (R)--Picked up his fourth hold of the season Thursday after pitching 0.2 innings of relief. With Mitchell Boggs out as the team's closer, there is a chance that Rosenthal could get a few save chances down the road and should be considered next in line if Edward Mujica fails. 18 PC-12 ST (4/18/13) (MR) Mitchell Boggs (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Monday in a non-save situation allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one batter. Boggs has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely be given the day off on Tuesday, considering his recent struggles. 22 PC--14 ST (4/15/13) Injured– Jason Motte (Elbow)Washington Nationals(CL) Elite Rafael Soriano (R)–Pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning on Wednesday in a non-save situation needing only 10 pitches to close out the game. This was Soriano's first appearance since last Thursday so it was likely just a tune up for him to keep him fresh while he is not needed for saves. 10 PC-9 ST (4/17/13) (SU) Drew Storen (R)–Was charged with his first blown-save of the season Friday after allowing two runs on three hits and one walk in 1.1 innings of relief. With Rafael Soriano unavailable, the Nationals called upon Storen to close out the game, but he failed to get the job done, so maybe the team with think twice when using him in that situation in the future. 24 PC-15 ST (4/12/13) (SU) Tyler Clippard (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Wednesday retiring all three batters he faced in order. Clippard has struggled through the first few weeks of the season, but outings like think remind you of what he is capable of doing when he settles down and attacks hitters. 11 PC-8 ST (4/17/13)Matthew Beck is a Fantasy Sports Columnist for Rotoinfo.com.
