Saves Sleepers

Royals manager Ned Yost said on Tuesday that Wade Davis will close for the rest of the season as Greg Holland nurses a sore elbow.

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus dismissed Bruce Rondon for the rest of the season on Tuesday, citing his "effort level." It seems likely that Alex Wilson will handle the bulk of the save chances going forward, but Neftali Feliz and even Al Alburquerque could also be in the mix.

Darren O'Day picked up a save on Tuesday, as Zach Britton was out with a sore left lat muscle. It's unclear how long Britton will be out, but obviously O'Day is a must-own right now.

Weather Watch

The only significant threat of rain today is in Minneapolis (75-percent chance) for Indians-Twins, so be careful using players in that game. Other than that, it looks like a clear day around the league.
