J.J. Putz (1-1) worked two scoreless innings in Thursday's extra-inning win at Texas before Jarrod Washburn, Friday's scheduled starter against San Diego, worked a perfect 12th for his first career save. Washburn was the eighth pitcher used by Seattle. Putz allowed just one hit and a walk and struck out two batters. (Updated 05/14/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Putz has settled in after returning from his ribcage injury and has not allowed a run in his last five innings of work. He saved 40 games for the Mariners in 2007 and should still be considered a No. 1 Fantasy closer in most leagues while healthy. (Updated 05/14/2008).
