Typically, if a reliever has one bad outlier in a week, it doesn't affect his stock too much. However two outings in which the pitcher in question allows two or more runs and it would be hard not to question his place on this list. This week saw both Felipe Rivero and Roberto Osuna labor through 2 games, which certainly comes as a shock after how dominant they have looked all year. Neither should be in danger of losing their jobs soon, although Juan Nicasio did pick up a save this past week the day after Rivero's second meltdown. Both worked clean 9ths last night and should continue to be started with confidence. They just aren't "elite" right now.
