In fantasy baseball, bullpen changes happen fast. To help you stay ahead, RotoProspects presents the Fantasy Baseball Closer Chart as a key new feature for our subscribers. This tool keeps fantasy managers updated on shifting closer situations across Major League Baseball.
Why you need this closer chart
Bullpen roles change constantly due to injuries, performance shifts, and managerial decisions. That’s why our chart provides an up-to-date snapshot of each team’s closer hierarchy. You’ll always know who’s getting the ninth-inning chances.
Closer chart updates:
- Reds bullpen shake-up – With Alexis Díaz (pictured above) hitting the injured list because of left hamstring inflammation, Scott Barlow is the likely next man up for saves in Cincinnati. Meanwhile, Emilio Pagan and Tony Santillan could also factor into the mix.
- Tigers closer surprise – With Jason Foley surprisingly demoted to the minors, the Tigers could turn to Beau Brieske as their new closer. If he struggles, Tyler Holton or even Will Vest may get opportunities.
- Rangers’ closer situation – Luke Jackson is making a case for saves in Texas, pitching the ninth inning on Monday. With the bullpen in flux, he could see more late-game opportunities.
