There are reports that Burton and Maloney are the front runners for two bullpen spots. I think Swarzak is still ahead of both of those two. Brendan Wise has had two rough outings and looks like he is no longer in the competition. That would leave five pitchers competing for one spot.
Saturday, Maloney got out all six batters he faced. Burnett gave up 3 hits, a walk and a run in two innings. Fien gave up a walk and a hit in one inning, but all the damage was done after an error that gave the Cardinals an extra out. Gray started the game and went two innings giving up two runs on two hits and a walk.
Sunday, Burton left the game after a rain delay when he came into the game without finishing a batter. Wise gave up two runs on three hits.
Here is my updated rankings after Sunday's game in four groups in order of how likely they are to fill out the bullpen:
Capps
Perkins
Duensing
Swarzak
Maloney
Burton
Manship
Waldrop
Burnett
Fien
Gray
Wise
Hendricks
