Oakland A’s – A few days after complaining about the dreaded forearm tightness, A’s left-hander Drew Pomeranz was back in the mix last night, working a scoreless 6th inning with two strikeouts. We will keep an eye out for any injury news, but for the time being Pomeranz will bump Fernando Abad out of the hierarchy.
Updated hierarchy: *Mujica | Rodriguez | Pomeranz.
* = closer-by-committee.
VULTURE SAVE WATCH
1. Brian Duensing/Ryan O’Rourke, Minnesota Twins – The Twin’s bullpen is absolutely gassed. Glen Perkins, Kevin Jepsen, and Casey Fien have all pitched in three straight. How Paul Molitor uses his bullpen tonight is anyone’s guess.
2. Sam Dyson/Jake Diekman, Texas Rangers – Shawn Tolleson has pitched on four of the last five days.
