The Bullpen Tracker: NL
A weekly article looking for saves and holds across the league
Back with a look at the current situations in the NL bullpens!
Baltimore Orioles
Closer: Ryan Helsley
Helsley has settled back in nicely after returning from injury. Not perfect, but the role is his.
Holds Targets: Andrew Kittredge, Rico Garcia
No changes here. Garcia remains one of the better non-closing relievers in the AL.
Boston Red Sox
Closer: Aroldis Chapman
Blew his most recent save chance, but there’s no reason to panic. Still locked in.
Holds Targets: Danny Coulombe, Garrett Whitlock
Coulombe replaces Slaten. Both continue seeing reliable late-inning work.
New York Yankees
Closer: David Bednar
On a brief paternity leave, but this changes nothing long-term.
Holds Targets: Camilo Doval, Fernando Cruz, Tim Hill, Brent Headrick
Bird exits after a recent AAA stint. Cruz remains the most appealing fantasy option of this group.
