Street injures groin, Harris records save

September 27, 2015

Los Angeles Angels — Huston Street had to be helped off the field last night after he injured his groin.  With Joe Smith also injured, the Angels will use a committee to close out games.  Trevor Gott pitched the eighth inning and we think he will be the head of the committee.  Righties Fernando Salas and Mike Morin could also be in the mix, while lefty Jose Alvarez might be used if the match-ups dictate it.

Updated hierarchy: *Gott | Salas | Morin.
* = closer-by-committee

Houston Astros — The Astros brought in closer Luke Gregerson to protect a five run lead yesterday.  He struck out the first two batters but then gave up four straight hits and hit a batter and was pulled.  Will Harris came on to get the last out and record his second save of the season.

Hierarchy remains: Gregerson | Neshek | Harris.

VULTURE SAVE WATCH
1. Mike Morin/Fernando Salas, Los Angeles Angels – With Street and Smith out for the Angels, they will use a committee that could include Morin and Salas.
2. Pat Neshek, Houston Astros – Luke Gregerson threw 28 pitches in a rough outing yesterday
3. Aaron Sanchez/Brett Cecil, Toronto Blue Jays – Roberto Osuna has pitched in two straight and three of the last four.
