Closers and Saves Report - Week 13 Waiver Wire

Quite a sticky situation in baseball this week, huh? That's just in reference to some of the bullpen issues, why, what did you think I meant? As usual, some committees shuffled around, some injuries created new committees, and some healed players ended committees. The word of the day is committee. There's only one division in […]

Isan Diaz Optioned To Triple-A

Marrero is hitting .253/.330/.398 so far this season, but is off to a hot start this month, slashing .375/.429/.594 in June.
