The Bullpen Tracker: NL
A weekly article looking for saves and holds across the league
2026 MLB Bullpen Tracker (NL)
June 24 – July 7
Another National League bullpen update—tracking closers, leverage roles, and the relievers creating sneaky value in SV+HLD leagues.
The NL has a handful of elite, stable situations right now… and several complete disasters.
Atlanta Braves
Closer: Raisel Iglesias
No changes here. Iglesias continues to do exactly what you want from a closer.
Holds Targets: Tyler Kinley (IL), Dylan Lee, Robert Suarez
Kinley remains sidelined, which gives Lee and Suarez even more value. Both are among the best holds arms in baseball right now.
Miami Marlins
Closer: Pete Fairbanks
Two saves in the last week and firmly locked into the role.
Holds Targets: Anthony Bender, Michael Peterson, Calvin Faucher
Faucher joins the list after strong recent usage. Quietly becoming a relevant holds option.
New York Mets
Closer: Devin Williams
Not dominant, but steady enough. Eleven saves and still secure.
Holds Targets: Luke Weaver, Brooks Raley, A.J. Minter
Minter returns healthy and immediately becomes relevant. Strong addition to this group.
Philadelphia Phillies
Closer: Jhoan Duran
Still elite. Nothing to worry about.
Holds Targets: José Alvarado, Orion Kerkering (Brad Keller on IL)
Keller’s absence opens more opportunities for both Alvarado and Kerkering.
Washington Nationals
Closer: Clayton Beeter
Beeter appears to have finally taken control of the ninth.
Holds Targets: Gus Varland
Varland remains relevant and would likely be next in line if anything changes.
