From the closermonkey.com today ...
Arizona Diamondbacks – Stefan Crichton picked up his fourth save of the season on Monday. As the only Diamondback to get a save since April 4, we’re removing his asterisk. Elsewhere in Arizona’s system, Ryan Buchter opened up to Sports Illustrated about the mental health issues that he — and many journeymen struggling to stick in the bigs — deal with on a routine basis. It’s Mental Health Awareness Week, and it’s been a damn tough year for everyone, so we’re spotlighting this article while urging our readers to please seek help if you need it.

The Monkey this morning:
Seattle Mariners — With a 3 run lead going into the late innings the Mariners turned to Anthony Misiewicz for the 8th inning and Andres Muñoz for the 9th. Drew Steckenrider had thrown 26 pitches on Thursday, so a rest made sense for him, but Diego Castillo hadn’t pitched since giving up 2 runs on Wednesday. Muñoz joins Steckenrider and Castillo as the only players with saves, and he has the talent to be a closer for a long time in the major leagues. This is still a committee, so don’t be surprised if Castillo is out there today, but Muñoz is the best arm in the bullpen, and could run away with the job soon.
Updated hierarchy: *Muñoz | Steckenrider | Castillo.
* = closer-by-committee
