Craig Kimbrel, Cionel Pérez, Jason Adam, Yennier Cano, Josh Hader, Ryan Helsley, Kevin Kelly, Tyler Rogers, JoJo Romero, and Jacob Webb all had three SV+HLDs this past week, with Kimbrel and Perez grabbing four. Obviously, there is a lot of Oriole representation here with Kimbrel, Perez, Cano and Webb. Perez misses the list as there’s little upside there, and really is only useful if he is getting multiple holds a week. We also see Adam and Kelly from the Rays here despite no Pete Fairbanks. Kelly just missed the list but could rise in the coming weeks especially if the Rays move Fairbanks and/or Adam. Of course Helsley and Romero are here once again, as the two continue to dominate the Saves and Holds leaderboards respectfully.

The hate for A. Diaz is real. His era is not good. But he has been LIGHTS OUT the last month. 1.80 ERA 1.00 WHIP and 7 SAVES (2nd most in that span) Easily a top 25 RP. But you leave him in the 80’s? It’s like you are not paying attention.
