And confirmation.

Soriano sure closed the game out with authority though, and now has more saves this season than Gonzalez. I think he has to be towards to top of the list of high strikeout, good ratio, potential closer setup men to own right now.

I agree completely. And it looks like both of those guys could be getting save chances, regardless of how well Gonzalez is pitching.

And thanks to mweir for the Blue Jays information.

specifically mentioned the 15 day DL for romero, but just said DL for ryan. does this indicate something more serious?

A tight trapezius explains BJ's control and velocity issues. Hopefully it's just a strain and he'll be back within 2-3 weeks, throwing like he was most of last year. A tear would be a lot more serious but I don't think it's possible to pitch through a teared trapezius for weeks on end.

No, they just said 15 day DL on the blue jays game.

Too lazy to look back 1 page?

[djxskillz]

well, page 1 also says bj ryan is rock solid.

I suppose he's still in waiting, but at least no more frowny-face:

"Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland announced this afternoon that reliever Joel Zumaya (shoulder) will be recalled from Toledo Saturday or Sunday, when the Tigers are in Kansas City to play the Royals."
