Here is a look at the fantasy baseball closer report for week 21. It contains all of the most recent closer news, plus the current closers and the current handcuffs.

Hisanori Takahashi had little problem last week in his first week as new closer for the New York Mets in place of Francisco Rodriguez. Takahashi picked up a save and worked 2 2/3 scoreless innings. With a 3.21 ERA and a 0.75 WHIP in his first 15 pitches on the season, he should be good in that role for the rest of the season.

Koji Uehara picked up a save last week for the Baltimore Orioles although manager Buck Showalter was not ready to annoint him the full-time closer yet. With a 1.73 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP, Uehara has been more reliable in the pen than Mike Gonzalez or Alfredo Simon.

With Matt Lindstrom going on the disabled list, it finally confirmed what we have known for several weeks, that Brandon Lyon is officially the closer in Houston.  Lyon has been a perfect 4-for-4 in saves the last two weeks without allowing a run in his last six innings. NL only league players should grab Wilton Lopez as he may be able to snag a save or two over the next few weeks.

The month of August has been unkind to Huston Street in Colorado as he has converted only four of seven saves and has a 7.15 ERA to go along with a 1.85 WHIP.  Manny Corpas who picked up 10 saves the first half of the year has not been great after the All-Star break with a 1.79 WHIP. Street still looks to be the man though at Coors Field as there have been no rumblings yet of an impending change.
