Los Angeles Angels – Mike Scioscia said yesterday that Ernesto Frieri will go back to being the primary closer. Scioscia said that Dane de la Rosa may still get the occasional save but it looks like Frieri will be the guy moving forward. Hierarchy change: Ernesto Frieri to Closer, Dane de la Rosa to Set-up.

Houston Astros – Chia-Jen Lo picked up his second save of the season on Saturday night. Since the Veras trade the Astros have alternated between Josh Fields and Lo. Fields picked up saves on 8/5 and 8/14 and Lo picked up saves on 8/13 and 8/24. Both guys are worth owning right now if you are desperate for saves and the next couple save opportunities could clarify whether or not one of these guys will become the primary closer. No hierarchy change.
