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):
CHC: Strop got W (0 R/1 H/2 K/1.2 IP) but suffered a hamstring injury in the process. Cishek & Edwards should be considered the favorites to get SV opportunities moving forward, but they will likely take a committee approach #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

MIA: After Conley opened 9th Barraclough summoned & implodes (2 R/2 H/0.1 IP) allowing back-to-back HR to take BSV/L. No surprise he got opp given Steckrenider's struggles, but he failed to capitalize & reclaim role #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

WAS: Doolittle takes L in non-SV (1 R/3 H/1.1 IP) & has now allowed runs in back-to-back outings. It's hard to imagine him being replaced, but w/way Holland has pitched would it be surprise if he gets opps until Doolittle finds footing? #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

BAL: Givens delivers strong 5 out SV (1 BB/2 K). The biggest issue here, despite a 4.39 ERA, is the number of opportunities the Orioles are going to give him. They are flat out bad and the lack of opps means he's going to hold little value #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

KC: Peralta delivers perfect IP (1 K) to earn 11th SV. He's only about a week removed from HR issues and his control has been less than stellar, so it's hard to say he's "emerged". Use him ROS but don't expect much value moving forward #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

NYM: Gsellman does job & earns SV (1 BB/1 K). He continues to be the favorite for opps moving forward, but he's not guaranteed to get them all & that's going to limit his potential value to being more of a CL2 type #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

LAD: Pitching in non-SV Jansen struggles (2 R/1 H/2 BB/1.0 IP). The defense hurt, but that doesn't change the outlook. Just when we thought he had righted the ship this isn't the type of performance we wanted to see #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

ARI: Bullpen in shambles as Diekman (3 R/1 H/1 BB/0 outs), Boxberger (1 R/1 BB/0.1 IP) & Chafin (1 R/3 H/1 K/0.2 IP) all contribute to breakdown. At this point who gets next SV opp is complete mystery make it tough to invest in #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers

BOS: A ho hum SV for Kimbrel (perfect IP/1 K). He's had his issues with his control of late, but is anyone truly concerned? He's one of the elite and that's the bottom line #MLB #FantasyBaseball #closers
