Miami Marlins – With A.J. Puk out, Dylan Floro has collected the past three saves for the Marlins, doing so in just a five-day stretch this week, including on Thursday. It sure seems like this is Floro’s job at this point, at least until Puk returns.
Updated hierarchy: Floro | Scott | Barnes.
New York Yankees – The Vulture Save Watch called an off-day Thursday for Michael King, but Wandy Peralta also got the night off after he worked in two straight, leaving Ron Marinaccio to close out the ninth on seven pitches for his first save. This is a pretty fluid situation that we’ll continue to monitor.
Hierarchy remains: *King | Peralta | Holmes.
* = closer-by-committee
Chicago White Sox — Liam Hendriks plans to throw live batting practice Friday and if that goes well, he’ll return to the majors “soon thereafter.”
Hierarchy remains: *Graveman | Lopez | Middleton.
* = closer-by-committee
Seattle Mariners – Andres Munoz has resumed a throwing program as he works his way back from shoulder inflammation. If all goes well in his rehab, he could be back relatively soon, though Seattle will certainly take it slow with the talented right-hander.
Hierarchy remains: Sewald | Topa | Brash.
VULTURE SAVE WATCH
Today:
1. Adam Ottavino (NYM) – David Robertson has gone in two straight.
2. Tanner Scott (MIA) – Dylan Floro has also pitched in two straight.
3. Tyler Rogers (SF) – Camilo Doval pitched in three straight earlier this week and could use more time off Friday.
Saturday:
1. Tyler Rogers (SF) – An outing Friday would be four of five for Camilo Doval.
2. Brusdar Graterol (LAD) – If he goes Friday, that would be three of five and five of seven for Evan Phillips.
