Bob Wickman - Wickman's MRI on his forearm came back clean, and he's returned to the bullpen tonight in the closer's role. It looks like he's fine for now.
Octavio Dotel - The Atlanta Braves will place 8th inning man Dotel on the DL with a sore shoulder. Given how badly he's pitched since the Braves acquired him, it makes sense that he was hurting given how good he is when healthy. At least it's not his elbow, but the severity of the injury probably won't be known for a while. He's droppable if you don't have a DL spot.
Rafael Soriano - Soriano has been very disappointing, posting a 3.83 ERA which is way out of line given his 0.97 WHIP, even if his K rate has gone down a bit with 44 K in 51 2/3 IP. He has given up 10 HR already, which is the likely culprit. He will return to the primary setup man in Atlanta with Dotel headed to the DL, and is worth owning given Wickman's advanced age, mediocre performance, and fragile health.
