Luke Gregerson was pulled out of a save opportunity Wednesday after giving up two singles and a run against the Braves.
The Padres had a couple of potential double play balls that they couldn't turn behind Gregerson, settling for one out on each, and with the two outs and a man on, they decided to go get lefty Tom Layne to face Jason Heyward. Another singled followed, but Nick Vincent took over from there and struck out Justin Upton to end the game. It seems the Padres are looking at a closer-by-committee until Huston Street returns. Gregerson might still be the top option in the ninth, but Dale Thayer is also a possibility for saves. Jun 12 - 6:48 PM

Luke Gregerson got a one-out save Tuesday, striking out the only Brave he faced in the ninth.

Gregerson didn't get to start the ninth tonight after his ugly blown save Sunday, but he did improve to 3-for-4 in save chances since Huston Street went down. Even after allowing three runs on Sunday, his ERA stands at 1.76.

Luke Gregerson picked up a save despite giving up a run and three hits in the ninth Saturday against the Jays.

Gregerson made the Padres nervous in his first save chance with Huston Street on the DL, but he was able to get Emilio Bonifacio to line out and Jose Bautista to ground out to strand the tying run on second and end the game. He's expected to keep getting save chances while Street is out.

Luke Gregerson - R - Padres

Luke Gregerson holds a 1.35 ERA and 0.75 WHIP over his first 13 appearances this season.

Gregerson has struck out just nine over 13 1/3 innings, but his strikeout rate will climb. One of the better setup men in the game, Gregerson and his nasty slider will continue to set up for Huston Street and would slide into the closer role if Street is injured or traded.

Luke Gregerson - R - Padres

Padres and RHP Luke Gregerson avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.2 million contract.

Gregerson requested a salary of $3.75 million and was offered $2.875 million from the Padres when arbitration figures were exchanged earlier this month. It only took 10 days for the two sides to find a middle ground.

Luke Gregerson - R - Padres

Luke Gregerson requested $3.75 million and was offered $2.875 million from the Padres when arbitration figures were exchanged Friday.

Gregerson is arbitration-eligible for the second time after he earned $1.55 million last season while posting a 2.39 ERA and 72/21 K/BB ratio over 71 2/3 innings. Look for the two sides to settle somewhere in the neighborhood of the $3.31 million midpoint.

Luke Gregerson - R - Padres

Luke Gregerson picked up his ninth save in Wednesday's 7-6, season-ending win over the Brewers, notching two strikeouts in a perfect inning of work.

Arbitration eligible this offseason, Gregerson finishes 2012 the owner of a 2.39 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 72/21 K/BB ratio in 71 2/3 innings across 77 appearances. Those numbers would be good enough to close for a lot of teams, but with Huston Street under contract through 2014, Gregerson will return to a setup role if he's brought back this winter.

Luke Gregerson - R - Padres

Luke Gregerson notched his second save in as many games Wednesday in the Padres' 3-2 defeat of the Cardinals.

Gregerson allowed a leadoff double to Allen Craig to open the ninth inning, but the threat basically stopped there. Yadier Molina laid down a sacrifice bunt, then David Freese and Skip Schumaker hit into groundouts. It was a complete botch job by the St. Louis decision-makers and gave the Padres an unlikely three-game sweep. Gregerson will continue to hold fantasy value until Huston Street (calf) returns.

Luke Gregerson - R - Padres

Luke Gregerson nailed down his sixth save of the season Tuesday in the Padres' 6-4 win over the Cardinals.

Gregerson allowed a single to Skip Schumaker but was otherwise stout, going 1 2/3 innings in the save conversion. He has a 2.32 ERA and 1.06 WHIP on the year.

Luke Gregerson - R - Padres

Luke Gregerson suffered a blown save Monday against the Dodgers when he served up a solo homer to Andre Ethier.

Gregerson came on in the eighth and got Matt Kemp to ground out. He then struck out Hanley Ramirez to start off the ninth before Ethier's blast. It's the second straight save chance where he's been taken deep, though this is his first blown save since taking over the ninth inning. We anticipate him keeping the job until Huston Street returns.

Luke Gregerson - R - Padres

Luke Gregerson allowed a solo homer to Andrew Brown on Friday, but managed to preserve a Padres victory, notching his third save of the season.

He has clearly supplanted Dale Thayer as the go-to option for saves with Huston Street on the DL. Street had a setback on Thursday and was unable to make a rehab appearance on Friday, so Gregerson may have the gig for a little while longer.

Luke Gregerson - R - Padres

Luke Gregerson notched his second save in two days with a scoreless ninth Monday against the Braves.

Gregerson should have been closing over Dale Thayer all along. He has a 2.28 ERA in 59 1/3 innings this season.

Luke Gregerson - R - Padres

Luke Gregerson earned his first save of the season in Sunday's victory over the Diamondbacks.

Gregerson struck out two in an easy 1 1/3 innings. The right-hander has a 2.31 ERA and 61/16 K/BB ratio in 61 appearances (58 1/3 total frames) this season, and could vulture a few more saves before Huston Street makes his way back from a calf injury.

Luke Gregerson - R - Padres

John Harper of the New York Daily News reports that the Mets have turned down a trade offer of Luke Gregerson for Daniel Murphy.

The Mets are seeking relief help, but evidently don't feel giving up Murphy for a reliable setup man is worth it. Jon Morosi of FOXSports.com thinks Gregerson, who has a 1.13 ERA since mid-June, will be a "name to watch" at the deadline. It's clear the Pads are more interested in trading him than Huston Street.

Luke Gregerson - R - Padres

Luke Gregerson will miss his third straight game Wednesday due to back spasms.

Padres' manager Bud Black is calling him day-to-day, so it doesn't sound like a major concern at the moment. Assuming the issue doesn't sideline him for much longer, he should be ready for Opening Day.
