Notes

Transaction and Schedule Notes

 

  • Check back here every day for the latest transaction news. Whether it be a big trade, IL moves, demotions/promotions, if it involves a reliever, we will have it here.
  • With it being Opening Day, there are not a lot of streaming options but if you are looking for a shot at a win in deeper leagues to begin the year, I’d consider Reds reliever Tejay Antone against the Nationals. Frankie Montas will be on the mound against Josiah Gray in this one, and with a potential shootout at Great American Ball Park, Antone could get a chance to factor into the outcome. It would also just be a great story as he’s missed almost two full seasons now, while also only managing 33.2 innings in 2021.

 

  • Primary Closer: these are the relievers that should be rostered in most 12-team mixed leagues, as they will be your best option for saves.
  • Next in Line: these relievers will have more value in holds leagues, but that doesn’t mean they have no value in standard mixed leagues. There’s still 10+ save potential for some of them, and they will likely help in other categories as well.
  • Holds Leagues Options: here are the rest of the high-leverage reliever options, and while they aren’t in the top two pecking order for saves, they should still provide value in deeper holds leagues.
  • Bulk RP (wins): expect to see these relievers entering games early on, around the 5th inning or so, making them a potential source of wins (but little to nothing else).
  • Injured List: these pitchers are currently on the IL, but could return this season and may be worth stashing depending on your league’s IL rules.
  • Minor Leagues: these are either potential prospects or notable minor league arms that could be worth monitoring in certain leagues.
