Closer Watch
Twins - Matt Capps, who has been dealing with a sore right shoulder, did not need an MRI. The team is optimistic that he will be available if needed on Tuesday after being out since Friday's game. The Twins had planned on using Jared Burton or Glen Perkins if a save situation came up during Capps' absence. However, after a Saturday loss and an extra-innings victory on Sunday, there has been no need for a closer in Minnesota.

White Sox - Addison Reed blew the save for the White Sox on Sunday against the Dodgers. After an outstanding start from Jose Quintana, Reed was given a 1-0 lead in the ninth inning. Reed immediately gave up a single to Bobby Abreu, followed by a strikeout, then another single. That put runners on the corners with one out, setting up Juan Rivera for a sacrifice fly that brought Abreu in to tie the game. Then, in the tenth inning, Matt Thornton took the loss after giving up a run of his own. The White Sox closer situation has been anything but settled after the team traded Sergio Santos in the offseason. Reed, Thornton, and Hector Santiago all have received save opportunities this season, though nobody has definitively locked down the position.
