Cincinnati Reds – Sean Marshall returned from the DL and pitched a perfect inning with 2 strikeouts last night. Look for Marshall to slide back into that late inning role for the Reds and could be an option to close when Chapman needs a day off depending on the matchups. Hierarchy change: Sean Marshall to 2nd in line, replacing Sam LeCure.

(UPDATED April 27, 2013 10:18 PM EDT) Chicago Cubs – Another 9th inning opportunity for Kevin Gregg, and a perfect inning for his third save of the season. As we’ve said, Kyuji Fujikawa should take back over when he returns, so much of this is elementary; however, hard as it is to believe, Kevin Gregg appears to be the reliever to own now in Chicago. Hierarchy change: Kevin Gregg to Closer, Carlos Marmol to Set-up.
