O'Day hasn't been pitching that great as of late, but has still pitched well enough to be worth owning in holds leagues. 11 PC-9 ST (7/9/13)Boston Red Sox(CL) Shaky Koji Uehara (R)–Recorded his sixth save of the season Tuesday night after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning. Uehara bounced back nicely from a blown-save on Saturday, which is much better than what we have seen this season from the likes of Andrew Bailey and Joe Hanrahan. 7 PC-6 ST (7/9/13) (SU) Junichi Tazawa (R)--Pitched one inning of relief on Tuesday night allowing one run on two hits needing 24 pitches to work through the frame.

Bailey allowed one hit in the appearance, forcing four ground ball outs and one strikeout to get the job done. 19 PC-13 ST (7/9/13) Injured--Joel Hanrahan (Forearm)Chicago White Sox(CL) Solid Addison Reed (R)–Was used in a non-save situation Monday night allowing one run on three hits in the ninth inning. This was Reed's first appearance since last Thursday, so despite the huge deficit, the White Sox wanted him to get some work in. 22 PC-17 ST (7/8/13) (SU) Jesse Crain (R)–Took the loss on Saturday after allowing one run on three hits in the eighth inning. The earned run allowed by Crain in this contest was his first surrendered since April 12, which brings his season total up to three on the season. 18 PC-12 ST (6/29/13) (MR) Matt Thornton (L)–Took the loss on Monday night after allowing three runs on two hits and one walk in the eighth inning. Thornton only recorded one out in the appearance before being pulled in favor of Nate Jones, in what was a terrible inning for the White Sox. 13 PC-5 ST (7/8/13)Cleveland Indians(CL) Solid Chris Perez (R)--Collected his 10th save of the season Tuesday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing two hits while striking out one batter. Perez has now been used four straight days, so he will likely be unavailable to pitch in Wednesday. 19 PC-15 ST (7/9/13) (SU) Joe Smith (R)--Earned his ninth hold of the season Tuesday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning allowing one walk on 13 pitches thrown. Smith has now pitched three consecutive days, so expect him to get the day off on Wednesday. 13 PC-7 ST (7/9/13) (MR) Vinny Pestano (R)--Was charged with his third blown-save of the season Sunday after allowing three runs on four hits and one walk in the eighth inning.

Coke has yet to turn things around this season, but will likely stay with the team for the foreseeable future considering he is left-handed. 11 PC-5 ST (7/9/13) (MR) Al Alburquerque (R)--Had another rough outing on Tuesday night allowing three runs on four hits in the eighth inning. He has now allowed six runs over his last two appearances, and if he doesn't turn things around, the Tigers will likely send him packing back to the minors. 16 P-11 ST (7/9/13) Injured– Octavio Dotel (Shoulder)Houston Astros(CL) Solid Jose Veras (R)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Saturday night retiring all three batters he faced in order.

Wright has now pitched back-to-back days, so expect him to get the day off on Monday. 12 PC-9 ST (7/7/13)Kansas City Royals(CL) Solid Greg Holland (R)–Earned his 22nd save of the season Tuesday after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning striking out one batter on 12 pitches thrown.

Frieri has now pitched back-to-back days (3.0 innings), but the Angels have a day off on Monday, so that should be enough rest for Frieri to be available for their series opener with the Cubs on Tuesday. 18 PC-13 ST (7/7/13) (MR) Kevin Jepsen (R)--Pitched one inning of relief on Saturday allowing one run on two hits and one walk. Jepsen has now pitched two of the last three days, but has kept him pitch counts low, so he should be good to go for Sunday. 18 PC-9 ST (7/6/13) (SU) Scott Downs (L)–Picked up his 17th hold of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless eighth inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Downs has been pitching very well as of late, and has recently lowered his earned-run average to 1.42 on the year. 11 PC-8 ST (7/7/13) Injured:  Ryan Madson (Elbow), Sean Burnett (Elbow)Minnesota Twins(CL) Solid Glen Perkins (L)–Pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Saturday in a non-save situation retiring all three batters he faced in order.

Robertson has now pitched back-to-back days, but will likely be available due to low pitch counts in both contests. 9 PC-6 ST (7/7/13) (MR) Boone Logan (R)–Pitched 0.2 innings of relief on Thursday allowing one run on two hits and one walk. This was Logan's first outing since Sunday, so expect him to be used in the setup role Friday with David Robertson likely unavailable. 25 PC-16 ST (7/4/13)Oakland Athletics(CL) Elite Grant Balfour (R)–Collected his 24th save of the season Tuesday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit while striking out two batters on 13 pitches thrown.

Cook has now pitched back-to-back days and three of the last four, so expect him to get the day off on Wednesday. 13 PC-9 ST (7/9/13) (MR) Sean Doolittle (L)–Earned his 13th hold of the season Tuesday after recording the fain two outs of the seventh inning.

Wilhelmsen has really turned his season around over his last few appearances, but appears to still be in a timeshare situation with Oliver Perez. 5 PC-3 ST (7/7/13) (SU) Oliver Perez (L)--Pitched one inning of relief on Monday night allowing two runs on three hits. Luckily for Perez the Mariners had a big lead before he entered the game, so his bad outing really didn't hurt the team in this one. 19 PC-15 ST (7/8/13) (MR)  Carter Capps (R)–Had another rough outing on Tuesday night allowing one run on two hits and one walk in the eighth inning. Capps has now allowed six runs over his last three appearances, and will have to turn things around soon if he wants to stay in the big league roster. 12 PC-7 ST (7/9/13) Injured–Stephen Pryor (back)Tampa Bay Rays(CL) Shaky Fernando Rodney (R)–Recorded his 21st save of the season Tuesday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing two hits while striking out three batters on 24 pitches thrown.

Scheppers bounced back nicely after a rough outing on Saturday, so hopefully this appearance will get him going back in the right direction. (MR) Jason Frasor (R)–Earned his sixth hold of the season Tuesday after pitching a scoreless seventh inning retiring all three batters he faced in order. Frasor needed only eight pitches to work through the inning, forcing one fly ball out while striking out one batter to get the job done. 8 PC-5 ST (7/9/13)Toronto Blue Jays(CL) Solid Casey Janssen (R)–Was used in a non-save situation on Sunday allowing one hit on 15 pitches thrown in the ninth inning. Janssen was coming off of his worst performance on the year on Thursday, so it was nice to see him get back on track in this contest. 15 PC-12 ST (7/7/13) (SU) Steve Delabar (R)--Was used in the eighth inning on Tuesday night allowing one run on one hit needing only six pitches to get through the frame.

Cecil pitched well enough in the first half to earn himself a spot in the All-Star team, but this performance sure wasn't what caused the managers to select him to the pitching staff. 24 PC-13 ST (7/7/13) Injured– Sergio Santos (Triceps)Continue to Page 2 to view the National League Bullpen Report...National League Bullpen Report Arizona Diamondbacks(CL) Shaky Heath Bell (R)–Was charged with his fourth blown-save of the season Thursday after allowing a home run to Anthony Recker in the 13th inning.

Hernandez has been struggling as of late, but the fact he was able to limit his base runners over his last two outings, is a sign of good things to come. 8 PC-6 ST (7/9/13) (MR) J.J. Putz (R)--Pitched a scoreless seventh inning on Tuesday night retiring all three batters he faced in order. This was a nice outing from Putz, but he is still a ways away from returning to the closer role. 10 PC-6 ST (7/9/13) Injured: Matt Reynolds (Elbow)Atlanta Braves(CL) Elite Craig Kimbrel (R)–Recorded his 24th save of the season Tuesday night after pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning, fanning two batters on 16 pitches thrown.

Simon threw only two pitches in the appearance, forcing the only batter he faced to fly out. 2 PC-1 ST (7/6/13) Injured--Sean Marshall  (Shoulder), Jonathan Broxton (Elbow)Colorado Rockies(CL) Solid Rafael Betancourt (R)--Recorded his 12th save of the season Monday night after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit and one walk on 21 pitches thrown. Betancourt has been used sparingly since returning from the disabled list, but appears to be healthy enough to see an increase in his workload. 21 PC-12 ST (7/8/13) (SU) Rex Brothers (L)–Picked up his seventh hold of the season Monday after recording the final out of the seventh inning. Brothers only threw seven pitches, so the fact he has now pitched back-to-back days should not effect his status for Tuesday. 7 PC-5 ST (7/8/13) (MR) Wilton Lopez (R)–Was used in the seventh inning on Tuesday night allowing one run on four hits while striking out one batter on 21 pitches thrown. Lopez's up and down season continued in this contest, but does not have to worry about losing his spot in the Rockies bullpen considering his ability to go multiple innings. 21 PC-14 ST (7/9/13)Los Angeles Dodgers(CL) Solid Kenley Jansen (R)–Collected his ninth save of the season Sunday after pitching a scoreless ninth inning allowing one hit on 17 pitches thrown.

Affeldt hasn't been pitching too well as of late, but will likely stay in the setup role until Santiago Casilla returns from injury.  17 PC-8 ST (7/9/13) (MR) Javier Lopez (L)--Pitched 0.1 innings of relief on Monday night recording the final out of the 16th inning. Lopez has now pitched three consecutive days, so expect him to be unavailable to pitch on Tuesday. 11 PC-4 ST (7/8/13) Injured--Santiago Casilla (Knee)St. Louis Cardinals(CL) Elite Edward Mujica (R)–Recorded his 24th save of the season Tuesday night after striking out the only batter he faced in the ninth inning.
