Elbert notches second save: Dodgers RP Scott Elbert entered Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks in the ninth inning with a two-run lead. He retired the first batter he faced before giving up a double to Ryan Roberts. But the left-hander was able to strand the runner to secure the 5-3 win. Elbert picked up his second save of the season while lowering his ERA to 3.26. (Updated 08/06/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
Elbert picked up his first save since June 12 on Saturday and has now made eight straight scoreless appearances for the Dodgers. Javy Guerra has been seeing the bulk of the save chances lately but maybe the 25-year-old can get in on the action as well. Keep an eye on the situation going forward but unless Elbert is being run out consistently in the ninth inning, continue to view him as more of a low-end option in NL-only formats.
