Toronto Blue Jays – While a broken nail may not seem like a devastating injury, it was severe enough to keep Roberto Osuna on the bench in yesterday’s Patriot’s Day game at Fenway. Information is scarce on Osuna’s timetable to return — he’s day-to-day at the moment — but in the meantime, Drew Storen is likely to be tapped in save situations, as he was yesterday.
Hierarchy remains: Osuna | Storen | Cecil.
Miami Marlins – Don Mattingly recently told the media that he is looking to use David Phelps later in games. We will take Donny Baseball at his word for now and slip Phelps into the hierarchy, and we also wouldn’t be surprised if he eventually takes over the set-up man role.
Updated hierarchy: Ramos | Morris | Phelps.

1. Brett Cecil, Toronto Blue Jays – Roberto Osuna might need another day off, while Drew Storen has pitched in back-to-back games, including a shaky 26-pitch outing yesterday afternoon.
