RELIEVERS: Cubs, Angels, Mariners, Nationals and others

This column focuses on the Cubs, Angels, Mariners, Nationals, and visits a couple other developing situations. Let's start with the Cubs who picked up another save from Rowan Wick (RHP, CHC) on Thursday against Milwaukee. Wick and set-up Jeremy Jeffress (RHP, CHC) are outperforming their projections and handling the back end duties just fine after Craig Kimbrel's (RHP, CHC) implosion.
