While injuries continue to ravage starting pitching around the league in the first month of the season, we are lucky to at least have some continuity with relievers. Sure Zach Britton is on the DL and Cam Bedrosian went down last week, leaving a mess in that Angels bullpen, but the RP community hasn't been hit too hard overall. The Nationals really need Koda Glover to be ready to go once his 10-day DL stint is up, as their bullpen is in shambles outside of (maybe) Shawn Kelley right now. Mike Dunn was the only other relevant name to make it to the DL this week. Some combination of Carlos Esteves and Jake McGee figure to fill in as that 7th inning set up guy in Colorado for now.

    Are y’all planning to do a top 100 for SV+H list soon?

    Specifically, I’m wondering about a guy like Glover. I don’t have enough DL slots to hold him (although he’s only supposed to be out for 10 days). Do I drop him for someone in Tier 3? Strickland, Givens, Barnes all available.

    Really only the 7th 8th and 9th guys… everyone else is just a coin flip from if they will implode or not
