Cleveland Indians – Andrew Miller pitched the 7th and 8th innings in a one-run ballgame yesterday before giving way to Cody Allen, who picked up the save. Terry Francona continues to use Miller as a fireman, and the results so far have been very good — though not for Miller’s fantasy value. Sunday marked his 6th appearance as an Indian, of which only one was a save chance. Miller does have three holds in that span, but for now, we’re going to slide Allen back to the top of the committee, since he’s being used as a more traditional closer at the moment.
Updated hierarchy: *Allen | Miller | Shaw.
* = closer-by-committee
Kansas City Royals – Chris Young picked up a three inning save yesterday, lowering his ERA to 6.03. Did you have him in your lineup? If so, here’s another chance to win Closer Monkey Premium for a year! Just send us a screenshot as proof and we’ll sign you up.
Hierarchy remains: Herrera | Soria | Moylan.
