The Bullpen Tracker: NL
A weekly article looking for saves and holds across the league
Updated MLB Bullpen Tracker (NL)
April 29 – May 12
Back with another National League update—tracking closers, shifting roles, and the best holds targets for SV+HLD formats.
As always, the goal is simple: stay ahead of bullpen chaos before everyone else does.
Atlanta Braves
Closer: Robert Suarez (Raisel Iglesias expected back ~5/5)
Suarez gets the ninth until Iglesias returns. Short-term value while it lasts.
Holds Targets: Tyler Kinley, Aaron Bummer, Dylan Lee
Kinley joins the mix with matching hold totals, but Dylan Lee remains the clear best option here.
Miami Marlins
Closer: Committee (Pete Fairbanks expected back ~5/13)
Fairbanks dealing with hand issues again. Until he returns, this will be a messy committee.
Holds Targets: Andrew Nardi, Anthony Bender, Tyler Phillips
Phillips has seen recent save chances, but this bullpen remains volatile. These are still the best high-leverage names.
New York Mets
Closer: Devin Williams
Ugly ERA early, but the skills still matter. No reason to panic.
Holds Targets: Luke Weaver, Brooks Raley
Still the clear next two in line if anything changes.
