Tampa Bay Rays – JP Feyereisen now has five appearances for the Rays: a 6th inning debut, followed by four straight 9th inning save chances, of which he has converted three. (In the fourth, he gave up a run and blew the save, but stayed on and pitched the 10th for the win.) All four of those opportunities have come after Diego Castillo’s last save on May 22, which is enough for us to push Feyereisen to the head of this committee.
Updated hierarchy: *Feyereisen | Castillo | Fairbanks.
* = closer-by-committee
Chicago White Sox – Aaron Bummer picked up the save in the first game of Chicago’s doubleheader; hopefully a few of you speculated on him after he appeared in yesterday’s Vulture Save Watch!
Hierarchy remains: Hendriks | Bummer | Crochet.
