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: Jeffress works 2.0 IP (1 R/1 H/2 K) before Hader locks down SV (perfect IP/2 K). Thought had been wanted to keep Hader in flexible role, but if Jeffress can handle similar workload Hader should be able to run w/role #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

HOU: Very interesting to see Rondon used in 8th inning w/Astros up 9-4. Could be nothing, but after back-to-back BSV it also could be something significant. Have Osuna stashed just in case a change is coming #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

COL: Another strong performance from Davis (1 H/3 K). Now has five straight scoreless outings (2 H/1 BB/6 K) as he's re-secured his role for Colorado. Can't say he's 100% safe, but trending in that direction #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

SD: Yates takes the L in a non-SV (1 R/2 H/1 K). Frustrating for fantasy owners, especially since it's his 2nd straight L, but has no impact on his role for now. Another stumble & Stammen could get a look, though #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

CWS: The White Sox continue to show a complete committee approach, splitting the ninth between Viera (0.1 IP) and Fry (0.2 IP/2 K/SV). While someone could step up, for now this is 100% situation to avoid #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

MIN: Hildenberger brought on to get final out in 8th & then stayed on in 9th after Twins took lead. It's clear he's the preferred option for SV at this point and a must own option in all formats #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

TEX: Leclerc dominant yet again (perfect IP/1 K). If he's throwing strikes he's going to be a borderline Top 10 option & he continues to show why (since 6/30 gone 17.2 IP with 8 H/3 BB/29 K). #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

ARI: Boxberger locks down 28th SV (1 H/2 K). While there has been speculation all season that Bradley could get an opportunity, that simply doesn't appear to be in the cards for '18 #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

TB: Romo w/perfect IP (2 K) en route to SV. Good news for fantasy owners, especially after he had had to be pulled in his previous outing (2 H/1 BB/0.1 IP). Clearly his job remains safe for now #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

K. Herrera might be coming back on Tuesday. Wise to pick him up. Currently I have Hader, Allen, Rondon and Treinen. Worried that Rondon could loss role. It would mean I have to drop O. Herrera and I know you advised holding on to him.
Thank for all your advise.
If you need SV the move works, but K. Herrera may not be long for role if Doolittle is getting close
