Watson struck out one batter in a scoreless inning against the Phillies on Sunday, notching his 10th save of the season and his second in as many days.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Clint Hurdle doesn't like to use his relievers three straight days, so there's a chance Watson could rest Monday in Atlanta. That said, he threw only a combined 18 pitches Saturday and Sunday, so there's a chance he could pitch if needed. Watson's recent pitching has been impressive, if only because he threw his first two clean innings of the season over the weekend. The lefty recently hired agent Scott Boras, further signaling that his time in Pittsburgh is nearing its end. Felipe Rivero would likely close in the event Watson can't go.
