May 22 Bell worked around a double to secure his seventh save of the season and second in consecutive days Tuesday against the Rockies.

Recommendation: Bell appears to have a hold on the closer's role again in Miami. He now has four straight scoreless appearances spanning 3.2 innings, but he still isn't missing bats. He has just one strikeout in these four appearances. Don't get too comfortable.

May 18 RHP Heath Bell got his closer's job back Friday and he responded with a perfect ninth inning to nail down the Marlins' 3-2 win in Cleveland. Bell, who signed a three-year, $27-million contract in December, lost the job May 5, a day after he blew his fourth save chance. Bells' save Friday was his fourth of the year and his first since May 1. "That's his job,'' manager Ozzie Guillen said. "There's nobody out there who wants him to do well more than me. I'm behind him 100 percent. We've got to believe he can do that.'' Yahoo! Sports
