Players on the DL

Activated from DL

Sent Down
Josh Outman, RP, NYY (DFA)

Closer Watch

Nationals – Rafael Soriano found himself back in the closer's chair Sunday in Miami with Drew Storen unavailable. Although he gave up a run, Soriano did finish it off for his 32nd save of the year. Nonetheless, the Nats will continue going to Storen over the season's final week.

Padres – Kevin Quackenbush picked up his sixth save Monday, one day after Joaquin Benoit made his return from a shoulder injury. Benoit looked sharp Sunday, but Quackenbush has been effective as the closer, and there's really no point in the Padres making a change at this late stage of things.

Recommended Pickup
Logan Morrison, 1B, SEA – At the end of what's been an awful season for Morrison, we have a late ray of light. Over his last 13 games, Morrison's gone 15-for-39 (.384) with three homers, four doubles, five RBI, nine runs and a 4:4 BB:K. He's riding an eight-game hitting streak and should be in the lineup most days here in the final week of the year as the Mariners look to evaluate him with an eye on next year.
