News: Melancon would likely serve as Pittsburgh's closer Thursday if the opportunity presents itself. Impact: Melancon has had a spectacular first six weeks of 2013, posting a 0.43 ERA and 0.71 WHIP in 21 innings with a 22:1 K:BB ratio. Should anything happen to Jason Grilli -- who's just getting a night off Thursday -- Melancon would be first in line to take over the closer duties for Pittsburgh.(RotoWire, )

News: Melancon, who leads the NL with 12 holds, has allowed one run in 17 relief innings. He's given up 10 hits and zero walks, striking out 17. Impact: His near flawless performance marks a dramatic turnaround from 2012, when he struggled with Boston. Melancon will see few, if any, save opportunities so long as Jason Grilli is healthy, but he would move into the stopper's role should anything happen to the 36-year-old Grilli.(RotoWire, )
