Get all your latest up-to-date daily bullpen news by following @mlbdailybullpen.American League Bullpen ReportBaltimore Orioles(CL) Solid Jim Johnson (R)–Earned his 10th save of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit. Johnson has now pitched back-to-back days and three of his last four, so there is a chance he may be given the day off Sunday considering the team is not off on Monday. 15 PC-9 ST (4/27/13) (SU) Darren O’Day (R)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Saturday allowing one hit while striking out one batter. O'Day has been pitching well this season and if this hot start continues, he will become a must-own player in holds leagues. 11 PC-8 ST (4/27/13) (MR) Pedro Strop (R)–Failed to record an out in Saturday's appearance, allowing a walk to the only batter he faced in the ninth inning. The walk quickly prompted the Orioles to bring in Jim Johnson, which shows how much faith the team has in Strop at this given time. 11 PC-3 ST (4/27/13) Boston Red Sox (CL) Shaky Andrew Bailey (R)–Recorded his fifth save on Wednesday after striking out the side in the ninth inning. Bailey has been great over the last two weeks of the season, but his role may be diminished once Joel Hanrahan returns to action once his rehab stint is over. 19 PC-13 ST (4/24/13) (SU) Koji Uehara (R)–Earned his seventh hold of the season Friday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter. This was a nice outing to see from Uehara, who had allowed earned-runs in back-to-back appearances, so he now appears to have gotten over a recent hiccup and is back on track. 17 PC-14 ST (4/26/13) (MR) Junichi Tazawa (R)–Picked up his eighth hold of the season Saturday after recording the final out of the seventh inning. He allowed one base runner via a free pass, but struck out the next hitter needing 11 pitches to get the job done. 11 PC-5 ST (4/27/13) Injured– Joel Hanrahan (Groin)Chicago White Sox(CL) Solid Addison Reed (R)–Collected his eighth save of the season Friday night despite allowing one run on two hits and one walk in the ninth inning. Reed has now pitched three consecutive days and will likely be unavailable to pitch out of the White Sox bullpen on Saturday. 31 PC-18 ST (4/26/13) (SU) Matt Thornton (L)–Earned his sixth hold of the season Friday after retiring the final batter of the seventh inning. Thornton has only pitched two innings this week, so expect him to fill-in for Addison Reed if in fact he is given the day off on Saturday. 3 PC-2 ST (4/26/13) (MR) Jesse Crain (R)–Earned his fifth hold of the season Friday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing two hits while striking out one batter. Crain has looked great through the first month of the season, and is now worth picking up in holds leagues considering the amount of chances he has had thus far. 14 PC-9 ST (4/26/13) Cleveland Indians (CL) Solid Chris Perez (R)–Recorded his third save of the season Monday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Perez has now pitched back-to-back days and may get the day off on Tuesday, so be sure to monitor his status prior to first pitch. 13 PC-8 ST (4/22/13) (SU) Vinnie Pestano (R)–Earned his fourth hold of the season Monday after pitching a 1-2-3 eighth inning striking out one batter. Like his teammate Chris Perez, Pestano has now pitched back-to-back days and may get the day off on Tuesday, so be sure to plan accordingly. 14 PC-10 ST (4/22/13) (MR) Bryan Shaw (R)–Failed to record an out in Saturday's appearance allowing two walks in 14 pitches thrown. Luckily for Shaw, the two base runners he allowed did not cross home plate, so he is still sitting on a sub-1.00 earned-run average after this rough outing. 14 PC-6 ST (4/27/13)Detroit Tigers(CL) Shaky Jose Valverde (R)–Recorded his second save of the season Saturday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning. Since being recalled earlier in the week, Valverde is 2-for-2 in save opportunities through two innings of work and is looking like the player we saw in 2011 rather than 2012. 14 PC-12 ST (4/27/13) (SU) Joaquin Benoit (R)–Earned his fourth hold of the season Saturday despite allowing a solo-home run to Justin Upton in the eighth inning. Home runs have been an issue for Benoit since joining the Tigers, but he has managed to convert most hold situations even after allowing a run or two in a outing. 12 PC-9 ST (4/27/13) (MR) Phil Coke (L)–Took the loss on Thursday after surrendering four runs on one hit and four walks over 1.1 innings of work. The wheels have officially fallen off for Coke, who has now given up five runs over his last two appearances, factoring into his 0-3 start to the season. 33 PC-14 ST (4/25/13) Injured– Octavio Dotel (Shoulder) Houston Astros (CL) Shaky Jose Veras (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Saturday retiring all three batters he faced in order striking out one. This is the type of outing we have grown accustomed to seeing from Veras, considering how poor the Astros have been playing, which has limited his fantasy value more than originally anticipated. 13 PC-9 ST (4/27/13) (SU) Rhiner Cruz (R)–Pitched one inning of relief on Friday allowing one run on four hits while striking out one batter. Cruz has turned into an earned-run machine, allowing at least one earned-run in five of his last six relief appearances, which makes him not worth owning, even in AL-Only leagues that use holds as a category. 24 PC-13 ST (4/26/13) (MR) Wesley Wright (L)–Pitched a scoreless sixth inning on Saturday allowing two walks while striking out one batter. Wright has now pitched back-to-back days so there is a good chance we won't see him pitch on in Sunday's series finale. 22 PC-9 ST (4/27/13) Injured–Josh Fields  (Forearm) Kansas City Royals (CL) Shaky Greg Holland (R)–Earned his sixth save of the season Saturday night despite allowed two runs (zero earned) on two hits while striking out two batters. Holland has been dominate since a shaky start to the season, and has now struck out six batters of his last three innings of work. 24 PC-17 ST (4/27/13) (SU) Kelvin Herrera (R)–Collected his fourth hold of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two batters. Herrera got himself into a jam early in the appearance, but was able to work out of it to escape the inning unharmed and the lead. 25 PC-15 ST (4/27/13) (MR) Aaron Crow (R)–Earned his fourth hold of the season Sunday after recording the final out of the eighth inning on seven pitches thrown. Crow got himself into a jam, by allowing a walk, which turned into the third base runner allowed in the inning, but was able to end the threat by forcing a ground ball out. 7 PC-1 ST (4/21/13) Los Angeles Angels (CL) Shaky Ernesto Frieri (R)–Earned his third hold of the season Friday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning. He allowed one walk in the appearance on 13 pitches thrown, but the base runner didn't become an issue after he forced one ground ball out and two fly ball outs to close down the final frame. 13 PC-8 ST (4/26/13) (SU) Sean Burnett (L)–Picked up his third hold of the season Friday after recording the final two outs of the sixth inning. He needed only 10 pitches to get the job done, forcing one ground ball out and one fly ball out, as he continues to be the best bridge between the Angels starters and Ernesto Frieri. 10 PC-5 ST (4/26/13) (MR) Scott Downs (L)–Collected his fourth hold of the season Friday night after pitching 1.1 innings of scoreless relief. As he has all season, Downs allowed a few too many base runners, but it did not become an issue, as he was able to work about them to get the job done. 27 PC-15 ST (4/26/13) Injured:  Ryan Madson (Elbow)Minnesota Twins(CL) Solid Glen Perkins (L)–Was used in a non-save situation on Saturday allowing two runs on one hit and two walks in the ninth inning. This was Perkins' first outing since Tuesday night, so the team likely just wanted him to get some work in even though they had a seven-run leading before he entered the game. 28 PC-17 ST (4/27/13) (SU) Jared Burton (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Saturday allowing one hit while striking out one batter. With this appearance Burton lowered his earned-run average to 0.96 on the season as he continues to develop into one of the better setup men in the American League, that no one know about. 21 PC-17 ST (4/27/13) (MR) Casey Fien (R)–Recorded the final out of the ninth inning on Friday, throwing only seven pitches to force a fly ball out. In Fien's last three appearances he was only needed to record one out, and if this continues the little fantasy value that he had in holds leagues will slowly diminish. 7 PC-5 ST (4/26/13)New York Yankees(CL) Elite Mariano Rivera (R)–Recorded his eighth save of the season Friday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning. Rivera, who was pitching on back-to-back days, got himself into a jam by allowing three hits, but work through it now start the season going 8-for-8 in save chances. 26 PC-18 ST (4/26/13) (SU) David Robertson (R)–Earned his third hold of the season Friday despite allowing a solo-home run to Jose Bautista in the eighth inning. Robertson has now pitched back-to-back days and may get the day off on Saturday, so owners in holds leagues may want to consider another option if that is the case. 9 PC-8 ST (4/26/13) (MR) Boone Logan (R)–Took the loss on Sunday after allowing one run on one hit in the sixth inning. He failed to record an out in the appearance, which was his second in as many days, so don’t expect to see him pitch on Monday. 5 PC-3 ST (4/21/13)Oakland Athletics(CL) Solid Grant Balfour (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Wednesday in a non-save situation allowing two walks while striking out two batters. Wednesday marked the first time in a week that Balfour took the mound, as the Athletics continue to play in lopsided games, but he will be a solid contributor in the saves category as the season progresses. 23 PC-11 ST (4/24/13) (SU) Ryan Cook (R)–Was used in the ninth inning on Friday night allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit and two walks. He recorded the first two outs of the inning before being pulled in favor of Pat Neshek, who closed out the final frame. 29 PC-16 ST (4/26/13) (MR) Sean Doolittle (L)–Pitched 1.1 innings of relief on Friday retiring all four batters he faced in order with three strikeouts and one ground ball out. It was business as usual for Doolittle, who has fared well to start the season, and is now worth a look in holds leagues if you are out there searching for help. 19 PC-16 ST (4/26/13)Seattle Mariners(CL) Solid Tom Wilhelmsen (R)–Recorded his seventh save of the season Saturday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning. Wilhelmsen allowed one hit in the appearance, but it didn't end up being an issue, as he forced two fly ball outs and struck out one batter to seal the win for the Mariners. 12 PC-7 ST (4/27/13) (SU) Carter Capps (R)–Picked up his third hold of the season Thursday after pitching 1.2 innings of relief. He faced the minimum amount of batters in the appearance, forcing two ground ball outs, two fly ball outs while striking out one batter. 17 PC-10 ST (4/25/13) (MR) Charlie Furbush (L)–Was used to face only one batter in Friday's game against the Angels, striking the batter out on three pitches. This was Furbush's first outing since Tuesday, so expect him to be available for the remainder of this weekend's series as the team's top lefty. 3 PC-3 ST (4/26/13)Injured–Stephen Pryor (back)Tampa Bay Rays(CL) Solid Fernando Rodney (R)–Recorded his third save of the season Wednesday night after recording the final two outs of the ninth inning. He allowed one hit in the appearance, but was able to work around it by forcing one ground ball out and one fly ball out pitching on back-to-back days. 14 PC-8 ST (4/24/13) (SU) Joel Peralta (R)–Picked up his fourth hold of the season Saturday after recording the final two outs of the eighth inning. After Kyle Farnsworth couldn't get the job done, the Rays turned to Peralta, who managed to work out of the jam and not allow a run to score while he was on the mound. 15 PC-9 ST (4/27/13) (MR) Jake McGee (L)–Pitched a scoreless seventh inning on Saturday allowing two hits and one walk while striking out three batters. Luckily for McGee he has an over powering arsenal, or else he would have never been able to work out of a bases loaded jam without allowing any runs. 22 PC-17 ST (4/27/13) Texas Rangers (CL) Elite Joe Nathan (R)–Recorded his eighth save Friday night despite allowing a three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning. Nathan was only responsible for one of the runs that scored, with the other two being charged to Joe Ortiz, so it didn't effect his earned-run average too much. 8 PC-7 ST (4/26/13) (SU) Tanner Scheppers (R)–Picked up his fifth hold Friday night after pitching a 1-2-3 eighth inning to remain perfect on the season. Scheppers has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely get the day off on Saturday. 13 PC-9 ST (4/26/13) (MR) Jason Frasor (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Wednesday allowing one hit while striking out one batter in a non-save situation. After being used minimally over the few few weeks of the season, Frasor has now pitched three times since Saturday, so it appears the Rangers are getting used to having him work in more significant roles, instead of just batter/pitcher matchups. 13 PC-10 ST (4/24/13) Injured– Joakim Soria (Elbow)Toronto Blue Jays(CL) Solid Casey Janssen (R)–Earned his sixth save of the season on Wednesday after pitching a 1-2-3 11th inning. He needed 14 pitches to mow down the competition, striking out two batters while forcing one fly ball out and has now solidified himself as one of the better closers in the American League. 14 PC-9 ST (4/24/13) (SU) Steve Delabar (R)–Pitched 1.1 innings of relief on Friday night allowing one run (unearned) on one hit and one walk while striking out three batters. Delabar has pitched excellent over his last three appearances, racking up eight strikeouts over 4.1 innings of work. 31 PC-17 ST (4/26/13) (MR) Esmil Rogers (R)–Took the loss and was charged with his first blown-save of the season Saturday after allowing two runs on two hits in the seventh inning. The two runs allowed by Rogers were the first runs he allowed since April 18, which was five appearances ago, so he had been pitching well prior to this rough outing. 18 PC-10 ST (4/27/13) 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)–Earned the win on Saturday after pitching a scoreless 10th inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. With this appearance Putz improved to 2-0 on the year, but has been shaky as the team's closer thus far, so be sure to have a backup plan ready if he continues down the wrong path. 6 PC-5 ST (4/27/13) (SU) David Hernandez (R)–Pitched two innings of relief on Saturday allowing two hits while striking out one batter. This was a nice bounce back performance for Hernandez, who has been on the down swing, so hopefully this will help him to continue moving in the right direction. 29 PC-16 ST (4/27/13) (MR) Heath Bell (R)–Was charged with his first blown-save of the season Saturday after allowing one run o two hits in the seventh inning. The run allowed by Bell ended his scoreless innings streak at 6.2 innings, and was his first since April 7, so he clearly has rediscovered some of his skills we thought were lost in his terrible season with the Marlins. 9 PC-7 ST (4/2713) Atlanta Braves(CL) Elite Craig Kimbrel (R)–Was charged with his first blown-save of the season Wednesday after allowing two runs on three hits and one walk in the ninth inning. This goes to show you even the best of players have a bad day every once and a while, but expect Kimbrel to be pick up right where he left off before this slip up when the Braves open their weekend series with the Tigers on Friday. 18 PC-12 ST (4/24/13)(SU) Eric O’Flaherty (R)–Picked up his seventh hold of the season Wednesday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing two hits. O’Flaherty got himself into a jam, but was able to work his way through it but forcing two ground ball outs and one fly ball out to get the job done. 12 PC-10 ST (4/24/13)(MR) Jordan Walden (R)–Pitched 1.2 innings of relief on Saturday afternoon retiring all five batters he faced in order. He struck out two batter while forcing one ground ball out and two fly ball out to lower his earned-run average to 2.00 on the season. 19 PC-14 ST (4/27/13)Injured– Jonny Venters (Elbow)Chicago Cubs (CL) Committee Carlos Marmol (R)–Earned his second hold of the season Saturday after recording the final out of the eighth inning. In a strange turn of events, Kevin Gregg, not Marmol, was used in the ninth inning, so Gregg has now emerged as a contender in the Cubs closer committee. 6 PC-1 ST (4/27/13) (CL) Committee Kevin Gregg (R)--Collected his third save of the season Saturday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning. After joining the Cubs bullpen late last week it was believed that Gregg would be a long shot for saves in the Windy City, but he already has three saves on the season and may be in line for more after being used in the ninth inning role with Carlos Mamol and Shawn Camp available to pitch on Saturday. 13 PC-7 ST (4/27/13)(CL) Committee Shawn Camp (R)–Earned his third hold of the season Friday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing two hits while striking out one batter. With Carlos Marmol unavailable, it was thought Camp would get a chance to close out the game, but it was Kevin Gregg who was given the chance, so it is possible that Camp has fallen out of the closer committee in Chicago. 19 PC-12 ST (4/26/13) Injured–Kyuji Fujikawa (Forearm)Cincinnati Reds(CL) Elite Aroldis Chapman (L)–Collected his fourth save of the season Wednesday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Chapman had it going once again, and has now totaled six strikeouts over his last three innings of relief. 17 PC-12 ST (4/24/13) (SU) Jonathan Broxton (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Friday allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Broxton has now strung together five straight solid relief appearances, so it appears he has worked him way back from the debacle when he allowed six runs in one outing two weeks ago. 14 PC-8 ST (4/26/13) (MR) Sean Marshall (L)--In his first appearance since returning from injury Marshall looked sharp, retiring all three batters he faced in order in the eighth inning. The Reds will likely take it easy with him, so don't expect to see him pitch in the Reds series finale with the Nationals Sunday. 11 PC-9 ST (4/27/13)Colorado Rockies(CL) Solid Rafael Betancourt (R)–Collected his eighth save of the season Friday night after pitching a 1-2-3 eighth inning. Betancourt forced three fly ball outs to work quickly through the ninth inning, but fly balls eventually turn into home runs, especially playing at Coors Field, so hopefully that doesn't become a trend. 14 PC-9 ST (4/26/13) (SU) Rex Brothers (L)–Pitched 0.1 innings of relief on Saturday allowing one walk on seven pitched thrown. Brothers was needed to get the final out of the seventh inning and was able to do so, lowering his earned-run average on 0.79 in the season. 7 PC-2 ST (4/27/13) (MR) Wilton Lopez (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning Saturday allowing one hit in the appearance. Lopez has now put together a few solid outing since his meltdown last weekend, so those in holds leagues may want to add him to your watch list, considering the Rockies have been in a lot of close games this season. 20 PC-13 ST (4/27/13)Los Angeles Dodgers(CL) Shaky Brandon League (R)–Earned his seventh save of the season Friday despite allowing one run on two hits while striking out one batter. League has now pitched three consecutive days, so he will likely be unavailable to pitch Saturday, and it is much needed considering he has allowed three runs over his last three innings of work. (SU) Kenley Jansen (R)–Picked up the win on Thursday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one hit and one walk while striking out one batter. The Dodgers flamethrower has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely get the day off on Friday, so plan accordingly. 20 PC-13 ST (4/25/13) (MR) Ronald Belisario (R)–Earned the win Friday after pitching 1.2 innings of relief striking out three of the six batters he faced. Belisario looked great in this one, and was lucky that League didn't allow any more runs int he ninth inning to blow the victory for him and the Dodgers. 37 PC-25 ST (4/26/13)Miami Marlins(CL) Shaky Steve Cishek (R)–Took the loss on Thursday after allowing a game-winning home run to Luiz Valbuena in the ninth inning to break open the tied game. With this appearance Cishek falls to 1-3 on the season, and now has one more loss than he has saves, making it hard to trust him moving forward. 12 PC-10 ST (4/25 /13) (SU) Jon Rauch (R)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Sunday surrendering five runs on four hits and one walk. With closer Steve Cishek unavailable, there was a chance Rauch could have got a spot save today, but that was clearly not the case, in was what his worst outing of the season. 40 PC-28 ST (4/21/13) (MR) Mike Dunn (L)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Saturday allowing one hit and one walk on 15 pitches thrown. Dunn has been used sparingly over his last two appearances, so expect him to be available to pitch, if needed, on Sunday. 15 PC-8 ST (4/27/13)Milwaukee Brewers(CL) Solid Jim Henderson (R)–Recorded his sixth save of the season Saturday night after pitching yet another scoreless ninth frame. Henderson is now 6-for-6 in save chances this season and despite reports that the Brewers want Axford to regain the closer role, there is no way they can remove him if he keeps pitching like this. 23 PC-13 ST (4/27/13) (SU) John Axford (R)–Picked up his fifth hold of the season Saturday despite allowing one run on one hit in the eighth inning. To no one's surprise, the run allowed was a home run, which has haunted him all season, but at least this was the first one he has allowed since being demoted. 15 PC-9 ST (4/27/13) (MR) Michael Gonzalez (L)–Took the loss and was charged with his second blown-save Friday after giving up one run on one hit and two walks in the seventh inning. Gonzalez has been pitching well prior to this performance, so unless this starts a slump, expect him to bounce back in his next outing. 16 PC-7 ST (4/26/13)New York Mets(CL) Shaky Bobby Parnell (R)–Recorded the final two outs of the ninth inning on Thursday needing 10 pitches to work through the non-save situation. Despite pitching back-to-back days, Parnell should be available out of the Mets bullpen Friday, considering his low pitch counts. 10 PC-6 ST (4/25/13) (SU) Brandon Lyon (R)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Thursday retiring both batter he faced in order. Lyon needed only nine pitched to record the first two outs of the eighth inning, forcing two fly ball outs to get the job done. 9 PC-6 ST (4/25/13) (MR) LaTroy Hawkins (R)--Pitched two innings of relief on Saturday allowing one run (unearned) on two hits while striking out one batter over two innings of work. Hawkins needed only 26 pitches to work through the appearance so expect him to be available ofr Sunday's series finale. 26 PC-21 ST (4/27/13) Injured– Frank Francisco (Elbow)Philadelphia Phillies(CL) Elite Jonathan Papelbon (R)–Recorded his fourth save of the season Monday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Papelbon has now pitched back-to-back days, but after only throwing seven pitches on Monday, he should be available to pitch if needed for Tuesday’s contest. 7 PC-7 ST (4/22/13) (SU) Mike Adams (R)–Took the loss and was charged with a blown-save Wednesday after allowing two runs on two hits and two walks in the eighth inning. Adams failed to record an out in the appearance, falling the 1-2 on the season. 21 PC-12 ST (4/24/13) (MR) Antonio Bastardo (L)–Earned his second hold of the season Wednesday despite allowing a solo-home run to Pedro Alvarez in the seventh inning. In limited duty this season, Bastardo has been solid, but his fantasy upside will be limited considering the situations he is used in most of the time. 16 PC-12 ST (4/24/13)Pittsburgh Pirates(CL) Elite Jason Grilli (R)–Recorded his 10th save of the season on Saturday despite allowing one run on tow hits while striking out one batter in the ninth inning. The earned-run allowed by Grilli was his first of the season, which is truly remarkable, as he almost made it through the entire both of April without a runner crossing home plate, so owners should be very pleased with him thus far. 24 PC-17 ST (4/27 13) (SU) Mark Melancon (R)–Earned his ninth hold of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Melancon needed 21 pitches to work through the appearance, forcing two ground ball outs to accompany with sole strikeout. 21 PC-15 ST (4/27/13) (MR) Jared Hughes (R)–Took the loss on Monday night after allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out one batter in the sixth inning. Hughes has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely get the day off on Tuesday to clear his head. 24 PC-14 ST (4/22/13)San Diego Padres(CL) Solid Huston Street (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Saturday in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order. Despite pitching on back-to-back days, there is a chance Street will still be available for the series finale on Sunday considering his low pitch count. 11 PC-9 ST (4/27/13) (SU) Luke Gregerson (R)–Pitched a 1-2-3 eighth inning on Saturday forcing two ground ball outs and one fly ball out to get through the appearance. Gregerson has now pitched back-to-back days, but with low pitch counts in both games, so he will likely be available Sunday if needed. 14 PC-9 ST (4/27/13) (MR) Dale Thayer (R)–Pitched two innings of relief on Saturday night in extra innings allowing only one hit on 29 pitches thrown. Thayer was able to extend the game into the 12th inning by forcing three ground ball outs and three fly ball outs keep the Padres in the game. 29 PC-22 ST (4/27/13)San Francisco Giants(CL) Elite Sergio Romo (R)–Took the loss Saturday night after allowing one run on the 12th inning. He recorded only one out before allowing the game-winning run to cross the plate, which was a ground ball that was a fielder's choice to score Yonder Alonso and seal the win for the Padres. 9 PC-8 ST (4/27/13) (SU) Santiago Casilla (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Saturday allowing two walks on 19 pitches thrown. Casilla got himself into trouble, but was able to work out of the jam by forcing two ground ball outs and one fly ball out to keep the game tied up heading into the ninth inning. 19 PC-8 ST (4/27/13) (MR) Javier Lopez (L)– Recorded the final two outs of the seventh inning Saturday needing only three pitches to force two ground ball outs. With this appearance Lopez lowered his earned-run average to 1.80 on the season, but it will only take one bad outing to destroy that small number, considering most of his appearances are less than one inning a piece. 3 PC-2 ST (4/27/13) St. Louis Cardinals (CL) Shaky Edward Mujica (R)–Earned his fourth save of the season Wednesday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning. Mujica has now converted all four of his save chances this season, including three saves in the last three days, so luckily for him the Cardinals have a day off on Thursday to rest his arm. 11 PC-8 ST (4/24/13) (SU) Trevor Rosenthal (R)–Was used to record the final two outs of the seventh inning on Saturday and was able to do so working around one base on balls. Rosenthal has the best arsenal out of all the Cardinals relievers, but his lack of command has limited his upside thus far, but if he can string together a few good outings, combined with a Edward Mujica meltdown, he could wind up in the closer role sooner than later. 24 PC-12 ST (4/27/13) (SU) Mitchell Boggs (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Saturday in a non-save situation allowing one hit and one walk on 25 pitches thrown. Boggs has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely be unavailable in Sunday's series finale, so those still holding onto hope may want to use a different option. 25 PC-16 ST (4/27/13) Injured– Jason Motte (Elbow)Washington Nationals(CL) Elite Rafael Soriano (R)–Collected his seventh save of the season Saturday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning striking out two batters. After a few shaky outings earlier in the season, Soriano has worked out the kinks and is now back on track as one of the top options as his position. 13 PC-8 ST (4/27/13) (SU) Drew Storen (R)–Picked up his fourth hold of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing two hits. Storen was able to work around the two base runners he allowed by forcing three ground ball outs to pass the ball to Rafael Soriano in the ninth inning. 13 PC-8 ST (4/27/13) (SU) Tyler Clippard (R)–Earned his fourth hold of the season Saturday after recording the final out of the seventh inning. It was a shaky outing for Clippard, who allowed two base runners himself, but was able to walk away unharmed and keep the Nationals slim lead. 12 PC-5 ST (4/27/13)Matthew Beck is a Fantasy Sports Columnist for Rotoinfo.com.
