Arizona Diamondbacks – Patrick Corbin picked up a 3-inning save on Sunday.  He does not factor in to Arizona’s normal late-inning plans.  No hierarchy change.

Miami Marlins – Heath Bell blew his 10th save of the season on Sunday.  After the game, Ozzie Guillen told the Miami Herald that he stood behind Bell, but in typically cryptic fashion, also said that “I have to make a decision, a solution, it will be drastic. But I will do it. We’ll wait until the All-Star break, and I will pick whoever is better out there to do the job.’’  Should Bell get demoted, Steve Cishek stands to inherit the job.  Juan Oviedo, the man formerly known as Leo Nunez, could also get a shot at his old job when he returns from his suspension later this month.  Heath Bell to Hot Seat.
