Are you following @Rotoprofessor on Twitter? If not you should be, as we Tweet out all the important bullpen notes every morning from the previous day’s games. Who is in jeopardy of losing their job? Who is worth the speculative add? Here are this morning tweets (Please note we won’t be posting these on the website every day, so make sure you follow @Rotoprofessor to ensure you don’t miss a thing):
MIL: Interesting to see Knebel (2 K/1 BB) in 8th & Jeffress (3 K) get SV, but likely still just letting former get back into the swing of things. Look for Knebel to start seeing SV opps in short order #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

STL: Norris gets SV but more interesting that Holland works 8th in close game. Now has three straight scoreless outings & it may not take much of a bump from Norris in order for a change to come #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

SF: Strickland gets some work, but does struggle slightly (1 H/1 BB/2 K). He's now allowed 4 H/2 BB/3 ER over past 3.0 IP so worth monitoring, but lack of work likely contributing to it. Don't be concerned at this point #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

PHI: Neris was lights out (perfect IP/2 K) & has struck out 4 of past 5 batters faced since blip in Washington. He's locked in, for now, but 1.43 WHIP shows not fully safe. Garcia worked 8th yesterday & Hunter also looming #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

LAA: Middleton used in setup role & gets into and out of trouble (1 H/2 BB) while Johnson gets SV. Don't read into the usage as it's likely just the Angels working Middleton back in & he should return to closing soon #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

MIA: Steckenrider has been seen as possible next up, but complete breakdown (6 R/4 H/2 BB without getting out) is going to hurt outlook. Ziegler (1 R/2 H) still "the man" with Barraclough next up #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

BOS: After BSV on Weds. Kimbrel bounces back strong w/perfect IP for SV. It should go without saying, but he's one of the elite & it takes going to take a lot more than one poor outing to cause any concern #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

ARI: Bradley charged w/BSV, allowing an inherited runner to score (2 H). He's going to remain the next up regardless & it's likely just a matter of time though not imminent #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

NYY: Betances pitched well overall, but made 1 mistake & it cost him (2.0 IP/1 R/1 H/3 K). All in all it was a "positive" outing, but it does little to change his outlook as nothing more than a middle innings reliever who may not get HLD #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

CIN: Iglesias called on for 4 out SV and delivers (3 K). Strikeouts had been down, but 6 K over 3.1 IP over past two appearances shows it's still there. He's locked into role, though Reds could deal him prior to July 31 #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

WAS: Doolittle just keeps doing the job (1 H/1 K/SV). As we always say the big issue here is health, but as long as he's on the mound he's going to be a Top 10 (and potentially Top 5) option #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
