| Jason Grilli records 17th save |
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com (5:00 pm ET) Pirates closer Jason Grilli recorded his 17th save with a clean inning Sunday against Houston.
Grilli appears poised to cruise into the All-Star game. He recorded his 31st strikeout in 19 2/3 innings Sunday and he owns an absurd 0.92 ERA with just nine hits and four walks allowed.

| Jason Grilli not available Thursday |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com (5/16/13) Pirates closer Jason Grilli is not available Thursday against the Brewers.
Grilli has pitched two-consecutive games, and will not be used a third-straight day. Setup man Mark Melancon is in the same situation, so manager Clint Hurdle will have to turn to another pitcher if the team needs to close out the game. Grilli has been fantastic this season, with 16 saves and a 1.02 ERA.

| Jason Grilli converts 16th save |
by Ed Gauna | CBSSports.com (5/15/13) Pirates closer Jason Grilli entered Wednesday's contest against the Brewers in the ninth inning with a two-run lead. The right-hander needed 14 pitches to retire the side in order and secure a 3-1 win.
Grilli also struck out one while earning his 16th save.

| Jason Grilli's availability in question Monday |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com (5/13/13) Pirates closer Jason Grilli's availability is in question for Monday's game against the Brewers.
Grilli quickly put on his street clothes and left the clubhouse in a hurry Monday, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's Dejan Kovacevic. Clint Hurdle said there was "nothing [he] could share" about the situation. Hurdle confirmed that Grilli's availability would be in question for Monday's game.

| Jason Grilli stays dominant with 15th save |
by Jack Moore | CBSSports.com (5/12/13) Pirates closer Jason Grilli earned his 15th save with a clean ninth inning Sunday against the Mets.
Grilli struck out two. He has 25 Ks and a 1.15 ERA. He needed eight pitches to dispatch the side and continues to dominate in his first full season as closer in Pittsburgh.

| Jason Grilli enjoyed the finest campaign of his career last season as he became a reliable setup man for the Pirates. He posted a 2.91 ERA over 64 appearances and finished tied for fourth in the majors with 32 holds. He also went 2 for 5 in save chances behind closer Joel Hanrahan. With Hanrahan being traded to Boston in the offseason, the 36-year-old steps into the closer's role for Pittsburgh and has some intriguing appeal in Fantasy on Draft Day. While Grilli has just five career saves, he has shown over the last two seasons that he might have what it takes to pitch in the late innings and could be a reliable option in Fantasy in 2013. Owners should keep in mind the Pirates brought back Mark Melancon in the Hanrahan deal for insurance just in case Grilli falters, but plan on targeting the right-hander in the later rounds of deeper mixed leagues on Draft Day.
