6 years agoPittsburgh Pirates closer Felipe Vazquez (forearm) told reporters he feels "fine" after leaving Sunday's game with what was termed "left forearm discomfort." According to The Athletic's Rob Biertempfel, Vazquez said he felt a "little pop" in his elbow and had no feeling in his ring finger. Fortunately, nothing concerning was detected on an MRI. He's not expected to pitch Monday, and his availability thereafter is currently unclear. This is a situation worth monitoring for fantasy owners, but Vazquez appears to have escaped major injury. Edgar Santana and Michael Feliz are the favorites to get save opportunities while Vazquez is unavailable.--Matt Wilkes
