![]() He earned a seventh-inning hold Tuesday and has recorded five holds since the start of June. Meanwhile, it would appear Julian Merryweather has pitched his way into more late-inning looks for the Cubs. He came on in a tight spot Tuesday night, pitching scoreless tenth and eleventh innings on just 12 pitches to earn his first major league win. Hector Neris (HOU) - An appearance Thursday will be four out of five for Ryan Pressly.Ĭhicago Cubs - The Cubs remade their bullpen a bit Tuesday, calling up hard-throwing righty Daniel Palencia. Ryan Brasier (LAD) - If Graterol still can’t go and Evan Phillips needs a second day of rest, there’s not much left in the Dodger pen. D ylan Floro (MIA)- AJ Puk has gone in two of three.ĥ. Joel Payamps/Elvis Peguero (MIL) - And Devin Williams.Ĥ. Adam Ottavino (NYM) - David Robertson too.ģ. (CHC) - Adbert Alzolay has appeared in three of the last four.Ģ. Updated hierarchy: Hader | Martinez | Cosgrove.ġ. ![]() San Diego Padres - It hasn’t been Luis Garcia pitching more high-leverage innings with Steven Wilson out it’s been rookie lefty Tom Cosgrove, back from his own IL stint and boasting a 0.59 WHIP through 20.1 innings. Hierarchy remains: Hicks | Gallegos | Cabrera. It was a double-clutched 45 mph putout attempt that Hicks threw 10 feet over Paul Goldschmidt’s head, allowing the Marlins to walk off the victory. Louis Cardinals - Jordan Hicks’s wildness was to blame for last night’s wild 10-9 loss to Miami, but the culprit wasn’t a slider or a 105 mph fastball. Updated hierarchy: *Phillips | Graterol | Hudson. The bad news for the Dodgers is that Brusdar Graterol was unavailable with an “arm thing” that could land him on the IL as early as today. Los Angeles Dodgers - LA has wasted little time getting Daniel Hudson back into the late-innings mix, turning to him for a rocky save on Wednesday - his first in 392 days - when Evan Phillips needed rest. Lucas Sims (CIN) - If Alexis Diaz pitches today it will be two in a row. Jose Alvarado (PHI) - And for Craig Kimbrel.Ĥ. Gregory Santos (CHW) - Same is true for Kendall Graveman.ģ. Erik Swanson (TOR) - If Jordan Romano pitches today that will be two straight and three of four.Ģ. Elvis Peguero (MIL) - This is a bit of a long shot, but if Devin Williams gets a second consecutive night off, Peguero could vulture a save since Joel Payamps has pitched in two straight.ġ. Nick Martinez (SD) - Josh Hader may get a second straight day of rest after he pitched three in a row earlier this week.ģ. Genesis Cabrera (STL) - Both Jordan Hicks and Giovanny Gallegos have gone back-to-back days.Ģ. Updated hierarchy: Graveman | Kelly | Lopez.ġ. Hierarchy remains: Williams | Payamps | Peguero.Ĭhicago White Sox – Joe Kelly landed on the IL with right elbow inflammation, which means Reynaldo Lopez has returned to the hierarchy. ![]() Milwaukee Brewers- As predicted in yesterday’s Vulture Save Watch, Joel Payamps protected a 6-5 lead for his third save of the season. Hierarchy remains: Romano | Swanson | Mayza. In the nightcap, Nate Pearson was the last reliever standing to earn his first MLB save. After Jordan Romano blew a save in game one of the doubleheader, Yimi Garcia got the final two outs of the 11th inning to preserve a 6-2 win. Toronto Blue Jays - The Blue Jays recorded two saves on Thursday, but none came from a member of their hierarchy. Updated hierarchy: *Phillips | Graterol | Ferguson. Caleb Ferguson, who desperately needed a day off after three straight outings, returns to the hierarchy following the Hudson injury, but we’ll keep an eye on Vesia to see if he continues to get high-leverage looks even when the Dodgers have their full complement of relievers available. Vesia looked sharp as well, earning his first save in nearly a year. With Evan Phillips still unavailable, that left the save to Alex Vesia, who was recalled from Triple-A that afternoon. The good news is that Brusdar Graterol, who was expected to end up on the IL yesterday, avoided that and looked sharp in an efficient eighth-inning hold. Hudson is expected to miss at least 1-2 months, if not longer. ![]() The bad news is that Daniel Hudson, who earned his first save in 392 days on Wednesday, landed on the IL with an MCL sprain on his right knee. Los Angeles Dodgers - It was another good news/bad news day for the Dodgers’ bullpen on Thursday. ![]()
