Cishek to inherit saves?: The Miami Herald reports that Marlins closer Leo Nunez has left the country, as he is on his way to the Dominican Republic, and he has been suspended and placed on the restricted list. That leaves Steve Cishek as the most likely candidate to get save chances for the remainder of the season. Cishek is second on the team to Nunez in saves, having converted all three chances this year. (Updated 09/22/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
Cishek has had an excellent season and has likely earned the role as Nunez's temporary successor. Not only can Cishek help Fantasy owners over the final days of the season, but he is likely to factor into the Marlins' closer picture in 2012. That makes the rookie a pitcher to target in NL-only formats and some mixed leagues as well next season. (Updated 09/22/2011).
