Closer Watch
Indians – Chris Perez wasn't available Sunday, and it was the unheralded Cody Allen who collected a 10th-inning save. With Vinnie Pestano still hurt, save-chasers should take note that Allen is one Perez injury away from more save chances.
Cubs – Kyuji Fujikawa may be back, and he may have this job long-term, but Kevin Gregg is holding on for now. He pitched a clean ninth with two strikeouts Sunday for No. 6 and still hasn't allowed a run in 9.1 innings this season.

Recommended Pickup
Oswaldo Arcia, OF, MIN – While Arcia's ownership has been climbing, the young slugger is still sorely under-owned in fantasy leagues. Despite a cool start, he's hitting a smooth .301 with three homers and 12 RBI in his first 20 major-league games, and there's reason to expect plenty more to come. Arcia was demolishing Triple-A pitching to the tune of .394/.474/.727 in his first 10 games there, and he may never see that level again. Though he's been an underappreciated prospect, Arcia's done nothing but hit in the minors. Jump on if you need an outfielder – or even if you don't.
