May 17 Capps (arm) threw a scoreless ninth inning to record his eighth save in Thursday's win over Detroit.

Recommendation: Capps has surprisingly converted all eight of his save chances this season. Entering the year, he seemed like one of the weaker closers in baseball on the heels of his struggles last season. Capps was unavailable to pitch Wednesday due to a sore arm, but it sounds like his ailment was just normal soreness due to pitching frequently in the last week than an injury to get worried about.
