Johnson has allowed only four earned-runs on the season, but the fact that he can't overpower his opponents will lead to outings like this every once and a while if he can't force ground balls. 13 PC-10 ST (5/14/13) (SU) Darren O’Day (R)–Was used to record the final two outs of the eighth inning Tuesday night and did so facing the minimum amount of batters. O'Day struck out one batter while forcing one fly ball out on just seven pitches to get the job done. 7 PC-5 ST (5/14/13) (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 the final two outs of the fifth inning Tuesday night allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Miller was lit up in his previous outing, so it was nice to see him back on track, and has now struck out eight batters in his last 3.1 innings of work. 7 PC-4 ST (5/14/13) Injured-- Andrew Bailey (Biceps), Joel Hanrahan (Forearm)Chicago White Sox(CL) Solid Addison Reed (R)–Recorded his 12th save of the season Tuesday night allowing one hit while striking out one batter. This marked Reed's first save May 6, and has been used only once in between these appearances, so expect the White Sox to use him often over the next few days. 10 PC-8 ST (5/14/13) (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)–Picked up his 10th hold of the season Tuesday night after pitching a scoreless eighth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. As the season progresses, it appears Crain is emerging as the team's top setup man, and if he is not owned in holds leagues, now may be the time to pick him up. 14 PC-9 ST (5/14/13) 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 1.1 innings of relief on Tuesday night allowing two runs on three hits and one walk. This was Shaw's worst outing of the season, but despite surrendering three runs, he is still sitting on a sub-2.00 ERA on the year. 25 PC-14 ST (5/14/13) Injured--Vinny Pestano (Elbow)Detroit Tigers(CL) Solid Jose Valverde (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday night in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order. Two nights after blowing his first  save of the season, Valverde looked great and appears to have put that outing behind him, so fantasy owners need not worry. 10 PC-8 ST (5/14/13) (SU) Joaquin Benoit (R)–Pitched a scoreless eighth inning Tuesday night retiring all three batters he faced in order. Benoit struck out tow batters in the appearance, while forcing one fly ball out needing only 14 pitches to get out of the inning cleanly. 14 PC-8 ST (5/14/13) (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)–Pitched 1.1 innings of relief on Tuesday night allowing two hits while striking out two batters. Outside of Jose Veras, Wright has been the most effective reliever for the Astros, but that really isn't saying much, considering some of the others that have come out of the Astros bullpen this season. 25 PC-15 ST (5/14/13) (MR) Hector Ambriz (R)--Recorded only one out in his appearance on Tuesday night allowing one run on one hit while striking out one batter. The big blow came via a Miguel Cabrera solo-home run, in his defense Cabrera hits everyone hard, so he should not be too mad about his performance. 9 PC-5 ST (5/14/13) 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)–Pitched one inning of relief on Tuesday night allowing one run on one hit and one walk. Crow has now allowed only two runs over 10.1 innings of relief this season, which has kept him earned-run average below 2.00 through the first seven weeks of the year. 17 PC-7 ST (5/14/13) Los Angeles Angels (CL) Shaky Ernesto Frieri (R)–Was used to record the final out of the ninth inning Tuesday night needing only one pitch to force a fly ball out. Frieri has pitched well this season, but with the return of Ryan Madson looming, he could be in danger of losing his closer role in the neat future, but it is hard to believe that the team will want to fix something that isn't broken. 1 PC-1 ST (5/14/13) (SU) Scott Downs (L)–Recorded the first two outs of the ninth inning in a non-save situation allowing one hit on 16 pitches thrown. Despite sporting a 2.70 ERA this season, Downs hasn't pitched that well in 2013, and once his luck runs out his performances will show that. 16 PC-11 ST (5/14/13) (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)--Was used to record the first out of the eighth inning Tuesday night and needed eight pitches to do so. Fien made it interesting, allowing one hit and one walk, needing Brian Duensing to come in and clean up his mess, allowing him to escape the game unharmed. 8 PC-4 ST (5/14/13)New York Yankees(CL) Elite Mariano Rivera (R)–Recorded his 16th save of the season Tuesday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. With this appearance Rivera is now 16-for-16 in save opportunities this season, as he continues to dominate on his farewell tour. 11 PC-7 ST (5/14/13) (SU) David Robertson (R)–Picked up his ninth hold of the season Tuesday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one walk while striking out one batter. Robertson has been well as of late, and has now recorded four strikeouts over his last three appearances combined. 19 PC-10 ST (5/14/13) (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)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday night in a non-save situation allowing one hit while striking out three batters. With just six saves on the season, Balfour ranks near the bottom of the saves category, which makes for a good time to try and buy-low on him, considering the A's will have to start playing better at some point. 24 PC-16 ST (5/14/13) (SU) Ryan Cook (R)–Was charged with a blown-save Tuesday night after surrendering one run on two hits in the eighth inning. Cook has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely get the day off on Wednesday, so owner sin holds leagues will need to plan accordingly. 13 PC-10 ST (5/14/13) (MR) Sean Doolittle (L)–Earned his sixth hold of the season Tuesday night after pitching a scoreless seventh inning allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Doolittle has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely get the day off on Wednesday considering how much he has been used over the last week. 18 PC-13 ST (5/14/13)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 1.1 innings of relief on Tuesday night retiring all four batters he faced in order. Capps was dominate in this appearance, striking out three batters while forcing one ground ball out on just 13 pitches thrown. 13 PC-10 ST (5/14/13) (MR) Charlie Furbush (L)–Took the loss on Tuesday night after allowing two runs on one hit and three walks. This was a typical outing for Furbush, who has yet to show consistency, and has now allowed three earned-runs over his last two appearances, but will continue to get work since he is the primary lefty in the bullpen. 27 PC-10 ST (5/14/13)Injured–Stephen Pryor (back)Tampa Bay Rays(CL) Solid Fernando Rodney (R)–Earned his seventh save of the season Tuesday night after striking out the side on 16 pitches. For all you Rodney owners that were worried about him, myself being one, it looks like he has turned the corner from his shaky start and is now ready to dominate the ninth inning, considering he has seven strikeouts in his last three innings pitched. 16 PC-11 ST (5/14/13) (SU) Joel Peralta (R)–Picked up his ninth hold of the season Tuesday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. With this appearance Peralta is now sitting on a 2.08 ERA as he continues to be very productive for his fantasy owners in holds leagues. 14 PC-10 ST (5/14/13) (MR) Jake McGee (L)–Picked up his seventh hold of the season Tuesday night after recording the first two outs of the seventh inning. McGee allowed two walks in the outing, but Josh Lueke was able to clean up his mess and escape the inning without allowing any runs to go up on the board. 27 PC-13 ST (5/14/13) Texas Rangers (CL) Elite Joe Nathan (R)–Collected his 12th save of the season Tuesday night despite allowing one run on one hit and three walks in the 10th inning, This clearly wan't a good showing from Nathan, but the fact he battled through it (31 pitches) is the reason why he is considered an elite closer in baseball. 31 PC-14 ST (5/14/13) (SU) Tanner Scheppers (R)–Picked up the win on Tuesday after pitching two scoreless innings needing only 27 pitches to get the job done. With this appearance Scheppers improved to 3-0 on the season with a 0.45 ERA, which makes him one of the better relievers to own in holds leagues. 27 PC-19 ST (5/14/13) (MR) Jason Frasor (R)–Recorded the final two outs of the seventh inning Tuesday night allowing one hit while striking out one batter. Frasor has now pitched back-to-back days and will likely get get the day off on  Wednesday, for those in Rangers-Only fantasy leagues. 16 PC-11 ST (5/14/13) 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)–Recorded the final out of the ninth inning Tuesday needing only two pitches to force a fly ball out. Rogers has pitched poorly this season, and will need to turn things around if he is going to stay in the Blue Jays bullpen for the remainder of the season. 2 PC-1 ST (5/14/13) 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)–Collected his fifth save of the season Tuesday night after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning striking out two batters. As noted by my colleague Michael Pichan, Bell has now struck out 22 batters while allowing just three walks on the season, which should allow him to hold onto the job for now. 19 PC-12 ST (5/14/13) (SU) David Hernandez (R)–Earned his seventh hold of the season Tuesday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one hit while striking out three batters. Hernandez has been shaky this season, but if Heath Bell fails in the closer role, he will be next to fill-in for the ninth inning. 18 PC-13 ST (5/14/13) (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)–Was used in a non-save situation on Tuesday night allowing one run on three hits while striking out two batters. Betancourt has allowed just three earned-runs over this season, which is really remarkable considering Coors Field is considered one of the best hitter ballparks in all of baseball. 24 PC-17 ST (5/14/13) (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)–Recorded his second save of the season Tuesday night after striking out the only batter he faced in the ninth inning. Clayton Kershaw recorded the first two outs of the inning, but Jansen not Brandon League, was called in to close out the game, which may be a sign of things to come. 4 PC-3 ST (5/14/13) (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) A.J. Ramos (R)--Pitched a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday night in a non-save situation allowing one hit on just pitches pitches thrown. Ramos bounced back nicely from a poor showing Saturday, and should be consisdered a dark horse candidate to close if Steve Cishek was to falter. 9 PC-7 ST (5/14/13)Milwaukee Brewers(CL) Solid Jim Henderson (R)–Pitched a scoreless 11th inning on Tuesday night in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order. As  fast as John Axford has fallen, Henderson has risen and at this point, there is no chance we will see a switch in the closer role any time soon. 11 PC-8 ST (5/14/13) (MR) John Axford (R)–Had another rough outing on Tuesday night allowing one run on two hits while striking out two batters in the eighth inning. With this appearance Axford is now sitting on a 9.20 ERA and appears to have lost all confidence in himself and his pitches. 21 PC-12 ST (5/14/13) (MR) Michael Gonzalez (L)–Earned his second hold of the season Tuesday night after striking out the only batter he faced to end the seventh inning. Gonzalez had allowed two runs in his previous two appearances, so it was nice to see him have a clean outing as he tries to right the ship. 6 PC-3 ST (5/14/13)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)–Pitched a scoreless seventh inning Tuesday night allowing one walk while striking out one batter. After a brilliant first few weeks of the season, Lyon has since fallen off the wagon, allowing five runs over his last 10 appearances, and is not worth owning in holds leagues. 17 PC-8 ST (5/14/13) (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)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Tuesday night in a non-save situation allowing one hit on only six pitches thrown. Despite only have seven saves, Papelbon has looked great this season and is someone to target in trades as the season moves forward, since it is hard to imagine he won't end up with aroudn 30 saves by season's end. 6 PC-5 ST (5/14/13) (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)–Earned his sixth hold of the season Tuesday after pitching 0.2 scoreless innings. It wasn't the cleanest of outings, after allowing two hits and one walk, but he escaped unharmed after striking out one and forcing a ground ball out, so fantasy owners can't be too mad about his performance. 19 PC-11 ST (5/14/13)Pittsburgh Pirates(CL) Elite Jason Grilli (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Tuesday night in a non-save situation striking out the side on just 13 pitches. After leaving the team Monday for a family matter, Grilli was back in the bullpen Tuesday, so fantasy owners should not worry about him missing time moving forward. 13 PC-9 ST (5/14/13) (SU) Mark Melancon (R)--Pitched a scoreless 10th inning Tuesday allowing two hits on 12 pitches thrown. With this appearance Melancon is now sitting on a 0.45 ERA, which is the best out of all setup men in baseball, and has shown no signs of slowing down, becoming one of the biggest surprises in baseball this season. 12 PC-9 ST (5/14/13) (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)–Collected his ninth save of the season Tuesday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one walk while striking out one batter. After blowing his first save of the season in his last outing, Street bounced back nicely in this contest, and appears to be moving forward. 21 PC-14 ST (5/14/13) (SU) Luke Gregerson (R)–Picked up the win on Tuesday after recording the final out of the eighth inning. Gregerson has been very effective this season, posting a 1.00 ERA and would be the first pick for the Padres to take over the closer role if something was to happen to Huston Street. 6 PC-3 ST (5/14/13) (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.
