RELIEVERS: NL West—first look at 2014

This week we begin the NL West relievers with a look at Arizona.

Arizona started strong and ran into difficulties with injuries to closer J.J. Putz (RHP, ARI), poor-timed failures by replacement Heath Bell (RHP, ARI) and set-up David Hernandez (RHP, ARI) and finally settled on sidewinder Brad Ziegler (RHP, ARI) to save games as the Dodgers surged past. Skills:

We are a week into the 2026 season and can start to look for usage patterns in fluid bullpens. Griffin Jax's season so has left managers screaming.

Every week brings changes to bullpens. One game does not give us much, but it gives us something, like a Jordan Romano (RHP, LAA) save.
