Cade Smith, Bryan Abreu, Enyel De Los Santos, Hunter Gaddis, Yoendrys Gómez, Tim Herrin, Jeff Hoffman, Bryan King, and Richard Lovelady each had three SV+HLD’s over the past week, with Smith picking up four. Let’s talk about Abreu, who has been getting some high-leverage work again and has not allowed a run in May yet. The fastball velocity is still hovering around 94 MPH (typically sits 97+ MPH), he still has a 0% K-BB rate for the month, as well as a 5.98 xFIP and a swinging strike rate under 10%. His 93 Stuff+ in May ranks 173rd out of 200 qualified relievers (the slider is doing the heavy lifting with that Stuff+ grade).
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Paul Sewald | 75% |
| Setup Role | Juan Morillo | 10% |
| Setup Role | Taylor Clarke | 5% |
| Middle Relief | Kevin Ginkel | 5% |
- Juan Morillo has totalled just 2.2 innings since May 8th, and they haven’t exactly been good innings either. He got some time off in between to deal with a fatigue issue, so that is something to monitor moving forward.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Co-Closer | Mark Leiter Jr. Jr. | 20% |
| Co-Closer | Hogan Harris | 20% |
| Co-Closer | Scott Barlow | 15% |
| Co-Closer | Joel Kuhnel | 15% |
- Hogan Harris continues to factor into SV+HLD’s (12 now) despite the volatility. His WHIP on the season stands at 1.73, and over the past month, it’s at 2.22 with an ERA of 4.00. I know the A’s lack trustworthy bullpen options, but I think they can do better than Harris (maybe?).
- Jack Perkins is out of the closer role and may not get a chance to get back into that mix, but I’m still not totally out on him yet. He looked great yesterday, throwing almost five innings out of the pen, and maybe he finds his way back into the rotation?
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Raisel Iglesias | 65% |
| Setup Role | Robert Suarez | 20% |
| Setup Role | Dylan Lee | 10% |
| Middle Relief | Tyler Kinley | <5% |
- Robert Suarez has been OK this season, and the ratios certainly don’t hurt, but I was expecting more in the bat-missing department. 23% K and 25% CSW rates don’t exactly scream elite stuff, and the velocity has been down the past five games.
- Dylan Dodd is back with the MLB club and should be there to stay, as he broke out with them in the second half of last season and has looked great so far in 2026. Another strong week could have him skyrocketing up the holds list.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Ryan Helsley (IL) | 60% |
| Setup Role | Rico Garcia | 20% |
| Setup Role | Anthony Nunez | 10% |
| Middle Relief | Yennier Cano | 5% |
- Grant Wolfram is back from the IL, and that’s a huge relief, as the other lefties in this bullpen have struggled for the most part. The ratios are inflated due to a .500 BABIP, but the stuff is legit, and his 30.8% K-BB rate is fourth best amongst relievers with 10+ innings pitched.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Aroldis Chapman | 75% |
| Setup Role | Garrett Whitlock | 10% |
| Setup Role | Justin Slaten | 5% |
| Middle Relief | Greg Weissert | 5% |
- Justin Slaten hasn’t pitched since May 22nd, when he allowed four earned runs (two HR’s), and we saw some decreased velocity from him. Hoping everything is fine there and he can put together a strong week to quell any concerns.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Daniel Palencia | 75% |
| Setup Role | Jacob Webb | 10% |
| Setup Role | Phil Maton | 5% |
| Middle Relief | Caleb Thielbar | 5% |
- Jacob Webb has just flat-out been outpitching Phil Maton at this point and deserves to be the top setup option here. Over the past month, Webb holds a 1.38 ERA (2.11 SIERA), 0.85 WHIP, plus 31.4% K and 18.6% SwStr rates.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Seranthony Domínguez | 50% |
| Setup Role | Grant Taylor | 25% |
| Setup Role | Bryan Hudson | 15% |
| Middle Relief | Sean Newcomb | 5% |
- Grant Taylor has put together a solid month and even had some thinking he was going to supplant Seranthony Domínguez from the closer role (it probably will happen eventually). His velocity has been down over the past month, but when you go from 99 to 97.7 MPH, it’s not a huge deal. He’s been better with the velo dip, actually.
First 9 IP (99 MPH): 5.00 ERA (1.93 xFIP), 1.67 WHIP with a 38.1% K rate.
Last 12.2 IP (97.7 MPH): 1.42 ERA (2.62 xFIP), 1.26 WHIP, 33.3% K rate.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Emilio Pagán (IL) | 50% |
| Setup Role | Graham Ashcraft | 25% |
| Setup Role | Tony Santillan | 10% |
| Middle Relief | Pierce Johnson | 5% |
- Graham Ashcraft has been rocky, but I think he may get a third chance to nail down the closer role, because, quite frankly, what alternatives do they have? Johnson, Antone, Santillan, and Burke should be out of the mix, so that leaves Ashcraft, Sam Moll?, and newly reinstated Caleb Ferguson. Maybe Ferguson can be an X factor here, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Cade Smith | 80% |
| Setup Role | Erik Sabrowski (IL) | 10% |
| Setup Role | Hunter Gaddis | 5% |
| Middle Relief | Colin Holderman | <5% |
- Colin Holderman over the past month: 0.59 ERA (2.17 SIERA), 0.65 WHIP, with 32.1% K and 32% CSW rates. With no Sabrowski for a while, Holderman should live up to his name for the foreseeable future. I don’t see any glaring change in his profile to suggest this will stick, but ride it while he’s pitching well.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Antonio Senzatela | 30% |
| Setup Role | Juan Mejia | 20% |
| Setup Role | Jaden Hill | 15% |
| Middle Relief | Victor Vodnik (IL) | 15% |
- After a rough couple of outings from Juan Mejia, I think we are down to Antonio Senzatela as the only reliever we can trust here for the time being. I’m not so sure how much I trust Senzatela, who holds an ugly 5.04 xFIP, with 6% K-BB and 26.5% CSW rates over his past 17.2 innings. Feels like a ticking time bomb.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Kenley Jansen | 70% |
| Setup Role | Will Vest | 15% |
| Setup Role | Kyle Finnegan | 10% |
| Middle Relief | Tyler Holton | <5% |
- Kenley Jansen had a brutal meltdown on Sunday, and it serves as a reminder that he will give you that now and then at this stage of his career. The good news for him is that Kyle Finnegan looks terrible, but I do think Will Vest has looked a lot better since coming off the IL, and perhaps he could end up being a threat to Jansen at some point.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Josh Hader (IL) | 60% |
| Setup Role | Bryan King | 20% |
| Setup Role | Bryan Abreu | 10% |
| Middle Relief | Enyel De Los Santos | 5% |
- Enyel De Los Santos may not be great, but he at least is keeping his walk rate low and giving the Astros something from the right side out of the bullpen. Nate Pearson has only made two appearances so far, but he’s looked great in both, so between De Los Santos and Pearson, there is some hope that the Astros can find quality right-handed relief moving forward.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Lucas Erceg | 50% |
| Setup Role | Daniel Lynch IV | 25% |
| Setup Role | Matt Strahm (IL) | 10% |
| Middle Relief | Nick Mears | 5% |
- Lucas Erceg has given up five earned runs over the past two days, but will that be enough to remove him from the closer role? The issue is their best reliever, Daniel Lynch IV, has been vulnerable this past month with a 1.22 WHIP. Still a lot better than Erceg, but this bullpen may just want to go the way of the Twins, A’s, and Nationals and give up trying to have a sole closer when that guy doesn’t exist on your roster.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Co-Closer | Sam Bachman | 40% |
| Co-Closer | Ryan Zeferjahn | 20% |
| Co-Closer | Kirby Yates | 20% |
| Middle Relief | Chase Silseth | 10% |
- I know Kirby Yates has veteran status on Sam Bachman, and the Angels seldom make the correct decisions, but Bachman should be the team’s closer now and moving forward. Yates fastball has fallen off a cliff. Ryan Zeferjahn has the stuff in his favor, but he can not command it consistently, which was a problem Bachman had earlier in the year, but lately he has been filling up the zone. He has three plus pitches and closer stuff, and just feels like a no-brainer in the closer role.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Edwin Díaz (IL) | 20% |
| Setup Role | Tanner Scott | 60% |
| Setup Role | Alex Vesia | 10% |
| Middle Relief | Will Klein | 5% |
- Kyle Hurt has been getting a lot of love, but let’s not forget about Will Klein, who is coming off a strong week, and it appears as if Roberts is willing to trust him in high-leverage spots again. This bullpen is just so ridiculously deep.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Pete Fairbanks | 75% |
| Setup Role | Andrew Nardi | 5% |
| Setup Role | Michael Petersen | 5% |
| Middle Relief | Anthony Bender | 5% |
- Michael Peteresen is one of the more volatile relievers out there, but there is no denying how nasty the stuff is when he is on and even remotely commanding it. The Marlins are trusting the “stuff” dudes in this bullpen with Petersen and Andrew Nardi continuing to see hold chances, and I love the commitment to them because if they truly figure things out, this bullpen could be one of the best in baseball.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Co-Closer | Trevor Megill | 50% |
| Co-Closer | Abner Uribe | 40% |
| Setup Role | Aaron Ashby | 5% |
| Middle Relief | Grant Anderson | <5% |
- Right after Trevor Megill picked up a save over Abner Uribe two weeks ago, the roles reversed this past week. We haven’t seen enough save chances the past week to determine roles, but Megill has been outpitching Uribe lately, so I’m still leaning towards him as the favorite.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Co-Closer | Yoendrys Gómez | 20% |
| Co-Closer | Eric Orze | 20% |
| Co-Closer | Andrew Morris | 20% |
| Co-Closer | Anthony Banda | 20% |
- Yoendrys Gómez could be a very good reliever in this league, but he has a long way to go despite showing flashes of dominance. The control has gotten better lately, now let’s hone in the command.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Devin Williams | 75% |
| Setup Role | Luke Weaver | 10% |
| Setup Role | Brooks Raley | 5% |
| Middle Relief | Huascar Brazobán | <5% |
- A.J. Minter is finally back, and I have no idea what to expect since it’s been over a year since we’ve seen him at the MLB level. If he looks good this week and like his normal self, he’ll probably move up 20 or so spots next week.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | David Bednar | 75% |
| Setup Role | Fernando Cruz | 10% |
| Setup Role | Camilo Doval | 10% |
| Middle Relief | Brent Headrick | <5% |
- David Bednar put together a strong week, and it certainly is in some part due to him limiting his curveball usage. Camilo Doval needs to follow suit and limit his slider usage moving forward.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Jhoan Duran | 75% |
| Setup Role | Brad Keller | 10% |
| Setup Role | José Alvarado | 5% |
| Middle Relief | Orion Kerkering | 5% |
- Brad Keller and Orion Kerkering have shown up lately and looked great, but what’s going on with José Alvarado? He hasn’t pitched since May 20th, and he was dealing with some nagging injuries earlier in the year, so that’s something to keep an eye on.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Gregory Soto | 60% |
| Setup Role | Mason Montgomery | 20% |
| Setup Role | Yohan Ramírez | 15% |
| Middle Relief | Evan Sisk | <5% |
- Gregory Soto and Mason Montgomery have similar numbers over the past month or so, so I wouldn’t expect a Montgomery takeover anytime soon, but it definitely feels like we are getting closer.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Mason Miller | 80% |
| Setup Role | Adrian Morejon | 5% |
| Setup Role | Jeremiah Estrada | 5% |
| Middle Relief | Jason Adam | 5% |
- Jason Adam finally was able to pick up some strikeouts in his most recent outing, striking out the side, in fact. His swinging strike rate is currently higher than his strikeout rate, so expect that K rate to continue to climb as he figures out how to put hitters away again.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Caleb Kilian | 40% |
| Setup Role | Erik Miller | 20% |
| Setup Role | Keaton Winn | 15% |
| Middle Relief | Joel Peguero | 10% |
- Caleb Kilian remains inconsistent, but he’s still the preferred reliever to roster in this bullpen, as Erik Miller is still struggling with his command, and Keaton Winn doesn’t seem like a realistic threat to the team or me. Winn has great ratios, but just a 4.2% K-BB rate over the past month, with the swinging strike rate dipping below 10%.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Andrés Muñoz | 75% |
| Setup Role | Matt Brash | 10% |
| Setup Role | Jose A. Ferrer | 10% |
| Middle Relief | Gabe Speier | <5% |
- Matt Brash returned from the IL this past week, and the stuff looks great as his sinker is sitting in the mid-97 MPH range, and we even got three strikeouts so far as he was struggling to generate swing and miss prior to the IL stint.
- Just as José A. Ferrer was getting comfortable in a setup role, we have Gabe Speier returning from the IL today. I think Ferrer’s role is safe, but at least this allows the team to give Ferrer some occasional rest.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Riley O’Brien | 70% |
| Setup Role | JoJo Romero | 15% |
| Setup Role | Ryne Stanek | 5% |
| Middle Relief | George Soriano | 5% |
- Riley O’Brien hadn’t walked anyone or even allowed an earned run until about a month ago on April 25th. Since then (11 IP), O’Brien holds a 6.55 ERA and 1.64 WHIP with just 15% K-BB and 26% CSW rates. That looks worrisome, but honestly, I’m not terribly concerned for two reasons. The first being, there’s no competition behind him outside of maybe JoJo Romero, who is also their only trustworthy left-handed reliever. I think this rough stretch has also included some bad luck for O’Brien (3.14 SIERA, .406 BABIP, 63% LOB), and the stuff still looks great, so I expect him to bounce back as early as this week.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Bryan Baker | 75% |
| Setup Role | Garrett Cleavinger | 5% |
| Setup Role | Kevin Kelly | 5% |
| Middle Relief | Ian Seymour | 5% |
- Garrett Cleavinger has not pitched since May 17th now, which has led to more chances for Ian Seymour, who has been solid over the past month for the Rays as the only consistent left-handed option in this bullpen. Hopefully, Cleavinger will be available soon, but the velocity was back down in his most recent outings. When healthy though, his upside is far superior to Seymour’s.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Jacob Latz | 70% |
| Setup Role | Jakob Junis | 10% |
| Setup Role | Cole Winn (IL) | 10% |
| Middle Relief | Chris Martin | 5% |
- Chris Martin is back, and I’m not sure it matters much as he looks pretty cooked. Maybe he has one more run in him, but I’d rather see more Gavin Collyer at this point.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Closer | Louis Varland | 65% |
| Setup Role | Jeff Hoffman | 20% |
| Setup Role | Yimi García (IL) | 5% |
| Middle Relief | Tyler Rogers | 5% |
- Who could have imagined we’d see Jeff Hoffman picking up two saves with zero baserunners allowed and five strikeouts last week? He’s scaled back his fastball usage, and the BABIP is finally below .500 now, so don’t be surprised if he’s one of the most dominant relievers in baseball moving forward.
| CLOSER SITUATION | ||
|---|---|---|
| Role | Pitcher | Save Chances |
| Co-Closer | Richard Lovelady | 30% |
| Co-Closer | Gus Varland | 20% |
| Co-Closer | Clayton Beeter | 20% |
| Middle Relief | Orlando Ribalta | 5% |
- Clayton Beeter is back and doesn’t look fully healthy, to be honest, but anyway, who is the closer here? Is it actually Richard Lovelady, is that where we are at? Lovelady has a 1.72 ERA since joining the Nationals (15.2 IP), but that comes with a 1.53 WHIP and just a 21% K rate.
Injured List
| Pitcher | Notes |
| Edwin Díaz | Elbow. Cleared to begin a throwing program; Roberts said he’d play catch this week. Still tracking for a post-All-Star break return. |
| Josh Hader | Biceps. Six rehab outings in the books, with 2-3 more rehab appearances to go. GM Dana Brown said he’s targeting the first week of June for activation. |

| A.J. Puk | TJS (Internal Brace). On a rehab assignment and made his first appearance in the complex league on 5/23. Hitting mid-90s in bullpens. Will likely need 7-8 rehab outings before activation. |
| Emilio Pagán | Hamstring. Tested the hamstring and measured well in strength. Meeting with the doctor about starting to play catch. Still on the 4-8 week timeline. |
| Edwin Uceta | Shoulder. Eligible to come off the 60-day IL, but has not progressed to throwing off a mound yet. |
| Matt Strahm | Knee. Still on the 15-day IL with right knee inflammation. Royals view it as a short-term issue based on his history with the same knee. Eligible to return 5/31. |
| Carlos Estévez | Shoulder. Rotator cuff strain has him shut down for three-to-four weeks total, with imaging to follow. |
| Yimi García | Elbow. Eligible off the 60-day IL on 5/24. Threw a two-inning, 30-pitch bullpen on Friday after his FCL setback. A rehab assignment is expected to follow shortly. |
| Ben Joyce | Shoulder. Resumed his throwing program in Arizona. First good news since his most recent setback. |
| Cole Winn | Arm fatigue. Allowed 2 ER in 0.1 IP vs. the Angels on Saturday before being shut down. No timetable yet. |

| Brock Stewart | Foot. Eligible off the IL later this week, but Roberts said “three weeks is fair.” Arm is healthy; bone spur is the issue. |
| Bennett Sousa | Elbow. Still wasn’t throwing as of 5/14 due to lingering soreness. No firm return date. He ended 2025 on the IL with elbow inflammation. |
| Jared Koenig | Elbow. On the IL since early April with an elbow sprain. Diagnosed with UCL damage that he’s attempting to rehab without surgery. Team doesn’t expect him back until late May or early June. |
