It updates the Mariners with the emergence of lefty Roenis Elías (LHP, SEA), although you may want to pump the brakes some on that one. And then we examine some interesting usage with the Diamondbacks and Cubs. Let's start with the Royals.

Kansas City has one save each by four different relievers. Here are the top six relievers:
