Rest-of-Season Projections
Saves possible this weekend
Bird could be in the mix for save opportunities this weekend in Pittsburgh after Colorado placed closer Justin Lawrence on the paternity list Friday.
ANALYSIS
Bird has one save and two holds in 13 outings this season, though he has an unimpressive 5.52 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 8:7 K:BB over 14.2 innings. Nick Mears could also be an option, but neither pitcher offers much fantasy upside since Lawrence should be back in a few days, plus the Rockies have just three saves as a team this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Uncertain role
Bird's recent struggles have coincided with a rough patch for closer Pierce Johnson, leaving roles at the back of the Rockies' bullpen uncertain.
ANALYSIS
The relief picture is messy for the 24-win Rockies. Daniel Bard, who racked up 54 saves over the prior two years, has been sharp over 14 appearances since missing the beginning of the season due to anxiety issues and is likely higher in the pecking order than Bird if Johnson is relieved of his closing duties. Justin Lawrence has also racked up seven holds compared to Bird's three.
