Johnson continues to get the job done for the Orioles, and has now set the team record for consecutive saves converted. 10 PC-9 ST (5/10/13) (SU) Darren O’Day (R)–Pitched 1.1 innings of relief on Sunday allowing two hits and one walk while striking out one batter. O'Day needed 26 pitches to get through the appearance forcing two ground ball outs and one fly ball out to go along with his one strikeout to continue his hot start to the season. 26 PC-19 ST (5/12/13) (MR) Pedro Strop (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Sunday in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order. Strop has now pitched back-to-back days, but with a scheduled day off on Monday he should be ready to take the mound for the Orioles next game. 12 PC-8 ST (5/12/13) Boston Red Sox (CL) Shaky  Junichi Tazawa (R)--Took the loss on Saturday after being used in a tied ball game in the ninth inning, allowing one run on two hits. In his first meaningful appearance as the team's closer, he failed to get the job done, but should get a few more chances to prove his worth before the Red Sox go with another option. 21 PC-13 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Koji Uehara (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning Thursday striking out all three batters he faced in the inning. He needed only 14 pitches to work through the appearance, in was his most dominant outing of the season. 14 PC-10 ST (5/9/13) (MR) Andrew Miller (L)--Recorded just one out in his last appearance on Sunday allowing three runs on two hits and one walk in the sixth inning. Miller had been dominate prior to this appearance, striking out seven batters over his previous 2.1 innings of work, so this just looks like a bump in the road. 14 PC-5 ST (5/12/13) Injured-- Andrew Bailey (Biceps), Joel Hanrahan (Forearm)Chicago White Sox(CL) Solid Addison Reed (R)–Was used in a non-save situation Wednesday night allowing one run on three hits in the ninth inning. Luckily for Reed, the White Sox had a big enough cushion that the run did not hurt him, but he has now totaled three earned runs allowed over his last three innings of work. 27 PC-20 ST (5/8/13) (SU) Matt Thornton (L)–Pitched a scoreless seventh inning Saturday allowing one hit on 11 pitches thrown. This appearance was Thornton's first since Wednesday night so expect him to be available if needed on Sunday. 11 PC-6 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Jesse Crain (R)–Pitched the final two innings on Saturday night allowing one hit and one walk while striking out three batters. Crain needed 30 pitches to get through the appearance and may not be available to pitch on Sunday. 30 PC-18 ST (5/11/13) Cleveland Indians (CL) Solid Chris Perez (R)–Collected is sixth save of the season Saturday despite allowing one run (unearned) on two hits in the ninth inning. Perez had escaped a few rough innings over the last week, and if his struggles continue, he is bound to have a blowup or two along the way. 22 PC-15 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Joe Smith (R)--Picked up the win on Sunday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning in a tied game allowing one hit on 11 pitches thrown. Smith has now pitched back-to-back days, but with a doubleheader in store for Monday, expect Smith to be used at some point. 11 PC-7 ST (5/12/13) (MR) Bryan Shaw (R)–Pitched two innings of relief on Sunday allowing one walk while striking out one batter. He only threw 24 pitches over the two innings, and will likely be used at some point in Monday's doubleheader. 24 PC-15 ST (5/12/13) Injured--Vinny Pestano (Elbow)Detroit Tigers(CL) Solid Jose Valverde (R)–Was charged with his first blown-save Sunday after allowing one run on one hit and two walks in the ninth inning. The run allowed on Sunday was the first of the season for Valverde, and may be unavailable Monday after recording a high pitch count in this contest. 29 PC-15 ST (5/12/13) (SU) Joaquin Benoit (R)–Picked u phis fifth hold of the season Sunday after recording the final two outs of the eighth inning. He allowed one walk, but struck out two batters in the appearance to pass the ball to Jose Valverde to lock down the game. 17 PC-10 ST (5/12/13) (MR)  Al Alburquerque (R)--Pitched one inning of relief on Saturday allowing one run on three hits and two walks while striking out two batters. No one has questioned his arsenal, as he ma be the most talented pitcher int eh Tigers bullpen, but his lack of control has been his major issue early in his career, and won't have a more meaningful role until he puts it all together.  35 PC-19 ST (5/11/13) Injured– Octavio Dotel (Shoulder) Houston Astros (CL) Shaky Jose Veras (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Sunday in a non-save situation allowing one walk on 13 pitches thrown. Veras has turned his season around after a shaky start, and has now allowed just two runs over his last 10.1 innings of work, so if he is available in your league it would be wise to pick him up if someone gave up on him earlier in the year. 13 PC-7 ST (5/12/13) (SU) Wesley Wright (L)–Took the loss on Friday night after allowing a game-winning home run to John Baker in the seventh inning. This was Wright's first appearance since last Sunday, so expect to see more of him before this series is over. 16 PC-14 ST (5/10/13) (MR) Hector Ambriz (R)--Took the loss and was charged with a blown-save Thursday after allowing three runs on two hits and two walks in the seventh inning. Ambriz recorded only one out in the appearance, and has now allowed four earned-runs over his last 1.2 innings of work. 25 PC-13 ST (5/9/13) Injured–Josh Fields  (Forearm) Kansas City Royals (CL) Solid Greg Holland (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Sunday in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order. Holland has put to rest any questions about him losing his job, so those who are still thinking Kelvin Herrera is going to take the job at some point h this season, should think again. 17 PC-11 ST (5/12/13) (SU) Kelvin Herrera (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Saturday in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order. Herrera has been shaky at best this season, but this outing proves he still has some confidence left to remain in a meaningful role in the Royals bullpen. 10 PC-8 ST (5/11/13) (MR) Aaron Crow (R)–Earned his sixth hold of the season Thursday after pitching a 1-2-3 seventh inning striking out two batters. Crow has been very effective this season, allowing just one run through his first 9.1 innings, and could see time in the setup role if Kelvin Herrera remains inconsistent. 11 PC-8 ST (5/9/13) Los Angeles Angels (CL) Shaky Ernesto Frieri (R)–Collected his seventh save of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Frieri has now pitched three consecutive days (3.2 innings), and will likely be unavailable for the Angels series finale on Sunday. 13 PC-10 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Scott Downs (L)–Earned his seventh hold of the season Saturday after striking out the only batter he faced in the seventh inning. Downs may be used in the closer role on Sunday, with Ernesto Frieri likely unavailable, so plan accordingly. 5 PC-3 ST (5/11/13) (MR) Mark Lowe (R)--Pitched 1.2 innings of relief on Friday night allowing three hits on 34 pitches thrown. Due to the high pitch count, don't expect to see Lowe available out of the bullpen for Saturday's game. 34 PC-19 ST (5/10/13) Injured:  Ryan Madson (Elbow), Sean Burnett  (Forearm)Minnesota Twins(CL) Solid Glen Perkins (L)–Recorded his eighth save of the season Thursday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one walk while striking out two batters. Perkins has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely be given the day off on Friday, so expect Jared Burton to fill in at closer if needed. 24 PC-14 ST (5/9/13) (SU) Jared Burton (R)–Picked up his eighth hold of the season Monday night after working out of a jam in the eighth inning. Burton allowed two hits and one walk in the inning, but was able to force one ground ball out, one fly ball out and one strikeout to get the job done. 15 PC-8 ST (5/13/13) (MR) Casey Fien (R)--Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Monday night in a non-save situation allowing one hit while striking out one batter. After a few rough outing as of late, Fien has been able to regroup and take control of his last few outings, recording four strikeouts over his last 3.1 innings of work. 12 PC-10 ST (5/13/13)New York Yankees(CL) Elite Mariano Rivera (R)–Recorded his 15th save of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit on only nine pitches thrown. Rivera has pitched back-to-back days, but has limited his pitch count, so with a doubleheader on Monday, expect him to be available for at least one of the two games. 9 PC-7 ST (5/12/13) (SU) David Robertson (R)–Picked up his eighth hold of the season Sunday after recording the final out of the eighth inning. With a doubleheader in store on Monday, there is a chance Robertson may be used in the ninth inning, considering the aging Mariano Rivera has pitched on consecutive days. 2 PC-1 ST (5/12/13) (MR) Boone Logan (R)–Recorded the final out of the seventh inning in Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader forcing the only batter he faced to strikeout. Considering the Yankees loaded schedule this week, expect to see Logan used more than we have seen over the course of the season. 6 PC-3 ST (5/13/13)Oakland Athletics(CL) Solid Grant Balfour (R)–Collected his sixth save of the season Saturday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two batters. Balfour got himself into a jam, but was able to work out of him, to give the Athletics the victory on 25 pitches thrown. 25 PC-15 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Ryan Cook (R)–Was used in the ninth inning Monday night in a non-save situation allowing one hit in 12 pitches thrown. With this appearance Cook lowered his earned-run average to 1.50 on the season, but has just five holds which has to due with all the run support the offense gives their pitchers. 12 PC-7 ST (5/13/13) (MR) Sean Doolittle (L)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning Monday night retiring all three batters he faced via strikeout. Doolittle dominated his opposition in this contest, throwing 1- of his 12 pitches for strikes, and has now recorded four strikeouts over his last 1.2 innings of work. (5/13/13)Seattle Mariners(CL) Solid Tom Wilhelmsen (R)–Recorded his 10th save of the season Friday night after pitching yet another scoreless ninth inning. Considering where he was going off the draft board this season, Wilhelmsen has definitely been worth the investment, and has showed no signs of slowing down anytime soon. 10 PC-6 ST (5/10/13) (SU) Carter Capps (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Saturday in a non-save situation allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Capps had allowed three runs over his previous two outings, so it was nice to see him put together a solid performance in this contest. 10 PC-6 ST (5/11/13) (MR) Charlie Furbush (L)–Pitched two innings of relief on Saturday night allowing one run on one hit while striking out two batters. Furbush needed 27 pitches to get through the appearance, but should be available to pitch Saturday, considering it was the first he had pitched since Tuesday. 27 PC-18 ST (5/11/13)Injured–Stephen Pryor (back)Tampa Bay Rays(CL) Solid Fernando Rodney (R)–Earned his sixth save of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one walk while striking out two batters. Rodney has now pitched well over his last three appearances, striking out six batters in three innings of work, so maybe his recent outings are a sign that he is back to his level of play from last season. 18 PC-12 ST (5/12/13) (SU) Joel Peralta (R)–Picked up his eighth hold of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one hit while striking out two batters. After a rough outing on on Tuesday, Peralta has bounced back nicely to earn two holds for his fantasy owners. 17 PC-12 ST (5/12/13) (MR) Jake McGee (L)–Picked up his sixth hold of the season Sunday after pitching a 1-2-3 seventh inning striking out one batter. After the Rays announced McGee would not get demoted after a horrific start to the season, he has now pitched two solid outings, so maybe that is all he needed to turn his season around. 16 PC-12 ST (5/12/13) Texas Rangers (CL) Elite Joe Nathan (R)–Collected his 11th save of the season Saturday despite allowing one run on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. It wasn't the cleanest of outings, but Nathan was able to work out of a jam to record his 11th straight save without being charged with a blown-save this season. 19 PC-10 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Tanner Scheppers (R)–Picked up his eighth hold of the season Friday night after pitching a scoreless eighth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Scheppers has been great this season, allowing only one earned-run through 18 innings of work and has now emerged as one of the better setup men to own in holds leagues. 12 PC-9 ST (5/10/13) (MR) Jason Frasor (R)–Pitched one inning of relief on Monday night retiring all three batters he faced in order. Frasor was once again used in a non-crucial role, and considering he has zero holds on the season, the Rangers aren't confident enough to used him in more meaningful roles. 15 PC-10 ST (5/13/13) Injured– Joakim Soria (Elbow)Toronto Blue Jays(CL) Solid Casey Janssen (R)–Collected his 10th save of the season Saturday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit on 10 pitches thrown. Wit this appearance Janssen is 10-for-10 in save chances this season, and even with Sergio Santos on his way back, he should not have to worry about losing the closer role. 10 PC-7 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Steve Delabar (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Sunday in a non-save situation allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Delabar has just one perfect outing in his last five appearances, but has allowed just one run over that time frame. 18 PC-10 ST (5/12/13) (MR) Esmil Rogers (R)–Pitched 0.1 innings of relief on Sunday allowing two runs on two hits and one walk. Rogers has been terrible this season, and if he doesn't start to turn things around expect to see a demotion in his future. 17 PC-9 ST (5/12/13) Injured– Sergio Santos (Triceps)Continue to Page 2 to view the National League Bullpen Report...National League Bullpen ReportArizona Diamondbacks(CL) Shaky Heath Bell (R)–Was charged with his first blown-save since taking over the close role after allowing two runs on four hits in the ninth inning. For Bell owners, let's hope this appearance doesn't snowball into worse things, considering his track record over the last few years. 21 PC-12 ST (5/12/13) (SU) David Hernandez (R)–Recorded his first save of the season Friday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning. With Heath Bell unavailable, Hernandez stepped in and got the job done for the Diamondbacks, and could see more saves down the road, considering the team announced the two pitchers are in a timeshare. 14 PC-11 ST (5/10/13) (MR) Matt Reynolds (L)--Took the loss on Sunday after allowing two runs on four hits in the 10th inning. The two runs allowed by Reynolds were the first earned-runs he has allowed this season, and he has now pitched back-to-back days so don;t expect to see him take the mound on Monday.23 PC-14 ST (5/12/13) Injured: J.J. Putz (Elbow) Atlanta Braves (CL) Elite Craig Kimbrel (R)–Recorded his 11th save of the season Thursday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing only one hit on 15 pitches thrown. Kimbrel had been struggling as of late, so it was nice to see a clean outing from him to try and right the ship. 15 PC-9 ST (5/9/13) (SU) Eric O’Flaherty (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Monday night in a non-save situation allowing just one hit on 13 pitches thrown. This marked the first time this season O'Flaherty was used in a situation like this, considering the team had a nine-run cushion, so most likely this appearance counted as his throwing session for the day. 13 PC-11 ST (5/13/13) (MR) Jordan Walden (R)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Saturday allowing one run on one hit and one walk while striking out two batters. Walden has now allowed five runs over his last three appearances (1.1 innings), and has been a disappointment for both the Braves and fantasy owners in holds leagues thus far in 2013. 22 PC-13 ST (5/11/13) Injured– Jonny Venters (Elbow) Chicago Cubs (CL) Shaky Kevin Gregg (R)--Earned his sixth save of the season Sunday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning striking out two batters. Gregg has been perfect thus far in 2013, and even with Kyuji Fujikawa back in the bullpen, he will continue to get the save chances but his leash is likely short. 13 PC-7 ST (5/12/13) (SU) Kyuji Fujikawa (R)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning on Monday night retiring all three batters he faced in order. Fujikawa has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely get the day off on Tuesday considering his recent return from the disabled list, so plan accordingly. 16 PC-10 ST (5/13/13) (MR) Carlos Marmol (R)--Was used in the ninth inning Monday night in a non-save situation allowing one run on one hit while striking out three batters. With Kyuji Fujikawa back in the bullpen, Marmol slides down the pecking order one more notch, and should only be owned in the deepest of holds leagues at this point.Cincinnati Reds(CL) Elite Aroldis Chapman (L)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Sunday in a non-save situation allowing one walk while striking out three batters. Chapman had it going in this one, throwing 13 of his 20 pitches for strikes, and now has 26 strikeouts through 17 innings pitched. 20 PC-13 ST (5/12/13) (SU) Jonathan Broxton (R)–Was used in the eighth inning on Sunday allowing one run (unearned) on two hits while striking out one batter. After a few shaky appearances, Broxton has now put together five straight games without allowing an earned-run, so hopefully he has turned the corner. 18 PC-13 ST (5/12/13) (MR) Sean Marshall (L)--Failed to record in out in his appearance on Wednesday allowing one run on one hit in the eighth inning. This was the first time Marshall pitched back-to-back days this season, but with a day off on Thursday, he will be ready to go next time the Reds take the field. 4 PC-3 ST (5/8/13)Colorado Rockies(CL) Solid Rafael Betancourt (R)–Took the loss Wednesday night after surrendering one run on two hits and two walks in the ninth inning. This was the first loss by Betancourt this season, and fantasy owners should not worry too much about this appearance, considering he has allowed just three earned-runs all season. 19 PC-8 ST (5/8/13) (SU) Rex Brothers (L)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning Sunday allowing one hit while striking out one batter. With this appearance Brothers lowered his earned-run average to 0.52 on the season, as he continues to emerge as one of the top setup men in the National League. 12 PC-10 ST (5/12/13) (MR) Wilton Lopez (R)–Was used in the eighth inning Monday night allowing two runs on three hits and one walk. This was another forgettable outing for Lopez, who has been inconsistent this season, but at least the game was already out of reach, so it didn't have and effect on the outcome. 15 PC-9 ST (5/13/13)Los Angeles Dodgers(CL) Shaky Brandon League (R)–Was used in a non-save situation on Sunday allowing two runs on three hits in the ninth inning. League is in serious danger of losing his job, and if his struggles continue, expect to see Kenley Jansen moved up the pecking order in no time. 14 PC-10 ST (5/12/13) (SU) Kenley Jansen (R)–Earned his seventh hold of the season Sunday after pitching 1.2  scoreless innings retiring all five batters he faced in order. Jansen had it going, striking out four batters while forcing one ground ball out on 25 pitches thrown, and has now recorded eight strikeouts in his last 3.2 innings. 25 PC-21 ST (5/12/13) (MR) Ronald Belisario (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning Monday night allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Belisario bounced back nicely from a horrible outing on Friday night, but is still too inconsistent to consider, even in the deepest of holds leagues. 15 PC-9 ST (5/13/13)Miami Marlins(CL) Shaky Steve Cishek (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Sunday in a non-save situation allowing two walks while striking out one batter. Cishek has been pitching well as of late, and has now put together four straight solid outings, appearing to have a solid grasp on the closer role for now. 19 PC-10 ST (5/12/13) (SU) Mike Dunn (L)–Was used in the eighth inning Sunday allowing one run on two hits and one walk. Over his last 10 appearances, Dunn has allowed just two earned-runs, and is the clear cut favorite to take over the closer role if Steve Cishek was to go through another rough stretch. 21 PC-14 ST (5/12/13) (MR) Jon Rauch (R)–Failed to record an out in his appearance on Sunday allowing two runs on two hits in the eighth inning. Rauch has now pitched back-to-back days, but with a scheduled day off on Monday, expect to see him available for Tuesday's game against the Reds. 3 PC-3 ST (5/12/13)Milwaukee Brewers(CL) Solid Jim Henderson (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Monday night in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order. After blowing his first save of the season last week, Henderson has now pitched three scoreless innings, appearing to have skin thick enough to be a close in the big leagues, so don't expect him role to change anytime soon. 8 PC-5 ST (5/13/13) (MR) John Axford (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning Friday allowing one hit and two walks while striking out one batter. Axford got himself in a real jam, allowing three base runners, but somehow escaped without allowing any runs, in another lousy outing from this former shutdown closer. 23 PC-13 ST (5/10/13) (MR) Michael Gonzalez (L)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Saturday allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out one batter. Gonzalez has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely be given the day off on Sunday. 30 PC-15 ST (5/11/13)New York Mets(CL) Shaky Bobby Parnell (R)–Pitched 1.1 innings of relief on Sunday allowing two hits and one walk while striking out one batter. Parnell needed 30 pitches to get through the appearance, so there is a chance he will not be available to pitch on Monday. 30 PC-21 ST (5/12/13) (SU) Brandon Lyon (R)–Recorded the final out of the eighth inning after allowing one walk while striking out one batter on 10 pitches thrown. After a few shaky appearances, Lyon has now pitched well in his last three outings, so if you own him in a holds league, it seems safe enough to put him back in starting lineup. 10 PC-5 ST (5/12/13) (MR) LaTroy Hawkins (R)--Pitched two innings of relief on Saturday allowing one run on four hits while striking out one batter. Hawkins needed 36 pitches to get through the appearance, so it is unlikely he will pitch on Sunday. 36 PC-26 ST (5/11/13) Injured– Frank Francisco (Elbow)Philadelphia Phillies(CL) Elite Jonathan Papelbon (R)–Recorded his seventh save of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter. With a scheduled day off on Monday, Papelbon will get the chance to rest up after pitching back-to-back games and be ready for the Phillies next game. 15 PC-10 ST (5/12/13) (SU) Mike Adams (R)–Took the loss Friday night after serving up the game-winning home run to Miguel Montero in the eighth inning. With this appearance Adams falls to 1-3 on the season with a 3.00 earned-run average over 15 innings of work. 11 PC-6 ST (5/10/13) (MR) Antonio Bastardo (L)–Recorded the first two outs of the eighth inning Sunday allowing one walk while striking out one batter. With Mike Adams experiencing back stiffness, Bastardo could see an increase in his workload over next few days, which will increase his fantasy value in holds leagues. 12 PC-7 ST (5/12/13)Pittsburgh Pirates(CL) Elite Jason Grilli (R)–Recorded his 15th save of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Grilli has been as close to perfect as a closer could be this season, allowing just two runs in 15.2 innings of work without blowing a save, so those who drafted him have to be happy with his production thus far. 8 PC-7 ST (5/12/13) (SU) Mark Melancon (R)--Picked up his 13th hold of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two batters. Like his teammate Jason Grilli, Melancon has been great this season, and the two have now turned into one of the best late-inning duos in all of baseball. 17 PC-11 ST (5/12/13) (MR) Jose Contreras (R)--Pitched a scoreless eighth inning Monday night retiring all three batters he faced in order on nine pitches thrown. Contreras was roughed up his his previous outing, failing to make it through a full inning, but had it going tonight forcing three ground ball outs, which are his specialty. 9 PC-7 ST (5/13/13)San Diego Padres(CL) Solid Huston Street (R)–Took the loss and was charged with a blown-save Saturday after allowing two runs on one hit and one walk in the ninth inning. Street had recorded all eight of his save chances leading up to this meltdown, but despite his success he hasn't pitched that well this season, allowing a lot of base runners, which was bound to catch up top him at some point. 21 PC-10 ST (5/11/13) (SU) Luke Gregerson (R)–Recorded the final two outs of the eighth inning Sunday needing only three pitches to get the job done. Gregerson has now pitched back-to-back days, but with a day off on Monday he should be expected to be available the next time the Padres take the field. 3 PC-3 ST (5/12/13) (MR) Dale Thayer (R)–Pitched 1.1. innings of relief on Sunday allowing one run on one hit while striking out two batters. Thayer has now given up four runs over his last two appearances, bringing his total to seven earned-runs allowed on the season. 26 PC-16 ST (5/12/13)San Francisco Giants(CL) Elite Sergio Romo (R)–Was used in the ninth inning Sunday in a non-save situation allowing one run on one hit and one walk while striking out one batter. Romo has now allowed three runs over his last two appearances, marking the first time this season he has allowed runs in back-to-back appearances. 17 PC-11 ST (5/12/13) (SU) Santiago Casilla (R)–Earned his sixth hold of the season Wednesday after retiring the final two batters of the eighth inning. Casilla struck out both batters on just eight pitches thrown, as he continues to be a solid contributor in leagues that count holds as a category. 8 PC-5 ST (5/8/13) (MR) Javier Lopez (L)– Recorded the first out of the ninth inning Sunday forcing the only batter he faced to ground out on six pitches. Lopez has now pitched just one inning over his last two appearances, so expect to see him used more in the upcoming days. 6 PC-4 ST (5/12/13) St. Louis Cardinals (CL) Solid Edward Mujica (R)–Earned his 10th save of the season Monday after pitching yet another 1-2-3 ninth inning. Mujica has been unbelievable since taking over the closer role, converting all 10 of his save opportunities, making him one of the better closers to own in the fantasy baseball as this current time. 11 PC-9 ST (5/13/13) (SU) Trevor Rosenthal (R)--Picked up his 10th hold of the season Monday after retiring the final two batters of the eighth inning via strikeout. Rosenthal only needed eight pitches to get through the appearance, and has yet to allow an earned-run over his last 6.1 innings of work. 8 PC-7 ST (5/13/13) (MR) Fernando Salas (R)--Pitched 1.1 innings of relief on Sunday retiring all four batters he faced in a non-save situation. This was the first appearance by Salas since May 4, so expect to see him used more in the upcoming days. 22 PC-16 ST (5/12/13) Injured– Jason Motte (Elbow)Washington Nationals(CL) Elite Rafael Soriano (R)–Took the loss on Sunday after allowing one run (unearned) on two hits while striking out one batter in the ninth inning. With this appearance Sorinao falls to 0-1 on the season  with one blown-save in 13 chances, but has pitched great as of late since getting over an early season slump. 22 PC-15 ST (5/12/13) (SU) Drew Storen (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Monday night in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order. Storen has now pitched consecutive days, so expect him to get the day off on Tuesday. 14 PC-10 ST (5/13/13) (SU) Tyler Clippard (R)–Picked up his sixth hold of the season Monday night after forcing the only batter he faced in the eighth inning to fly out on seven pitches. After a shaky start to the season, Clippard has now only allowed two runs over his last 10 appearances, which makes him worth owning for those in holds leagues. 7 PC-4 ST (5/13/13)Matthew Beck is a Fantasy Sports Columnist for Rotoinfo.com.
