Closer Watch
Pittsburgh – Mark Melancon has adjusted to the closer's role without any problem at all. Melancon closed the door Saturday night and is 2-for-2 in save opportunities since Jason Grilli went down.

San Francisco – Sergio Romo is in a funk of late, allowing four runs in his last four outings, though two of the runs were unearned. He blew a save Friday and took a loss both Friday and Saturday.

Recommended Pickup
Tony Cingrani, P, Reds – Cingrani shined after being recalled Sunday, shutting out the Dodgers on just one hits and one walk with 11 strikeouts. He will remain in the rotation until Johnny Cueto returns, but that is still at least a couple of weeks away. That should give Cingrani another three or so starts.

Other Recent Recommendations:David Lough, Mark Melancon, Brandon Beachy, Wily Peralta, Christian Yelich, Jonathan Villar
