The Bullpen Tracker: NL
A weekly article looking for saves and holds across the league
2026 MLB Bullpen Tracker (NL)
May 13 – May 26
Another National League bullpen update—tracking closers, leverage trends, and the relievers that actually matter in SV+HLD formats.
Bullpens remain chaos. The key is figuring out which chaos is actionable.
Atlanta Braves
Closer: Raisel Iglesias
Back from the IL after a minimum stay and immediately returned to closing duties.
Holds Targets: Tyler Kinley, Aaron Bummer, Dylan Lee, Robert Suarez
Suarez rejoins the holds mix. Atlanta is rolling right now, and all four of these arms should continue getting meaningful work. Dylan Lee still stands out as the best overall option.
Miami Marlins
Closer: Pete Fairbanks
Expected back on the active roster Wednesday and should reclaim the ninth immediately.
Holds Targets: Andrew Nardi
Only recommending Nardi this time around. The rest of the bullpen simply hasn’t inspired confidence.
New York Mets
Closer: Devin Williams
The ERA still looks ugly, but the underlying stuff remains excellent. No reason to panic.
Holds Targets: Luke Weaver, Brooks Raley
Same setup duo as before. Clear hierarchy behind Williams.
