Maurer should be in line for saves with Fernando Rodney in Miami, the San Diego Union Tribune reports.
Maurer's overall numbers are poor, but he has settled down in the last couple weeks and will likely get the first shot whenever the team finds itself in a save situation. Should he struggle, Ryan Buchter, Kevin Quackenbush or Carlos Villanueva could see some chances, too.
