Griffin Jax, Justin Martinez, Jorge Alcala, Aroldis Chapman, Lucas Erceg, Kevin Ginkel, Chad Green, Josh Hader, Ryan Helsley, A.J. Puk, Manuel Rodríguez, Tyler Rogers, Ryan Thompson, and Ryan Walker all had three SV+HLDs this past week, with Jax and Martinez picking up 4 a piece. A lot of the usual names here, but one interesting addition is Rodríguez, who was once in consideration to close out games for the Cubs and is now thriving in Tampa Bay. Since returning to the Rays bullpen before the All-Star break, Rodríguez holds a 1.59 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 26.2% K rate over 11.1 IP.
Notes
- Mason Miller, Chris Martin, Drew Rasmussen, Anthony Banda, Seranthony Domínguez, Manuel Rodríguez, and Edwin Uceta were all added to the list. Miller, Martin and Rasmussen all returned from the IL this past week.
- Blake Treinen, Colin Holderman, Jacob Webb, Erik Miller, Nick Sandlin, Shelby Miller, and Gregory Soto all fell off the list this week. Treinen, Holderman and Webb were all placed on the IL this past week.
- Ryan Helsley and his 3 saves this past week put him in the lead over Emmanuel Clase who had 0 this week. Helsley’s 36 are 3 more than Clase and 6 more than Yennier Cano, Kyle Finnegan and Andrew Kittredge who all sit at 30 for the season. To also put into perspective how dominant that Helsley number is, there are only 11 relievers with more than 25 SV+HLD’s on the season so far.
