J.J. Putz pitched a perfect inning Tuesday in his first appearance in four days. Putz has pitched 2 1/3 perfect innings since giving up a run and losing his closer's role in his second appearance back from the DL on July 1. Meanwhile, Heath Bell has gone unused for five days since giving up a homer and blowing a save on July 4. If Putz remains successful, he could be put back into the closer's role after the break.
