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: Hader posts impressive 6 out SV (1 H/3 K). It's his first SV since August 5 & he's now posted back-to-back scoreless appearances. If he can settle back in he'll be among the elite, but for now he may not see all of the opps #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

CLE: Hand appears to be back on track, throwing his 3rd straight scoreless IP for SV. He went through a lengthy rough patch in mid-August (3 BSV) but his role was never really in jeopardy. He's among the Top 10 options in the league #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

BOS: Workman w/highly impressive inning (perfect IP w/3 K) en route to SV. He now has 10 K over his past 4.0 IP & 85 K over 59.0 IP overall. While he hasn't been perfect he's emerged as "the man" & could potentially claim role for '20 as well #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

LAD: Jansen takes BSV but is ultimately rewarded with a W (1 R/1 H/1 BB/1 K). He's now taken 2 BSV in past 3 apps & has 7 BSV overall. It's not going to cost him his job, but he's not the same pitcher he once was. He's closer to CL2 than elite #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

DET: Entering into non-SV Jimenez struggled (1 R/2 H/1 BB/1 K). He's now allowed R in 3 of his past 4, though there's only 1 BSV in that stretch so his role is safe (especially w/Farmer also struggling). He's more of a CL3 though #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

TEX: Leclerc rolls to perfect IP (2 K) for SV. It's obviously been a frustrating season but he's re-entrenched himself into the role. He's not necessarily elite (he did take BSV on August 20), but he should be solid the rest of the way #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

KC: Kennedy continues to rebound from his recent implosion, though he made it interesting (0 R/1 H/1 BB/2 K). While he does own a 1.34 WHIP, which shows he's hardly elite, he's 23-for-26 in SV & has established himself as a solid CL2 #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

CHC: Kimbrel wasn't lights out, but he got the job done (1 H/1 BB/1 K) to get SV. We all know that he's locked into the role as long as he's healthy & he should be a solid option the rest of the way #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

HOU: Entering into non-SV Osuna stumbles (2 R/1 H/1 BB/2 K). Obviously we all know that it's meaningless in the scheme of things, just frustrating. He's among the elite #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

SD: Yates gets burned by poor defense, allowing 2 unearned R (0.2 IP/2 H/1 BB/1 K) to take L. It's frustrating, but it was a non-SV & it's meaningless. He's one of the elite and we all know it #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

NYM: With the Mets being blown out it's still nice to see Diaz come in and impress (3 K in perfect IP). He's shown flashes, but every time we think he's right he tends to suffer a blowup. It's too early to dub him as "back" but there's hope #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

OAK: Treinen entered in the 7th & imploded (2 R/3 H/1 BB w/o recording an out). If you were still holding onto him in hopes of him figuring it out & returning to role, forget it. Move on now and cut your losses #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
