Devin Williams, Milwaukee Brewers (Rostered in 70% of leagues)
Brewers nearer Devin Williams hasn’t pitched but this season due to stress fractures in his again, however he is been on a minor league rehab task and has not allowed a single hit in three appearances. It is actually unfair to have Williams going through minor league hitters, as he is used to creating main league hitters appear like little leaguers.

Ben Joyce, Los Angeles Angels (Rostered in 6% of leagues)
For the third week in a row: Ben Joyce. There are a number of groups who may commerce a few of their present leverage relievers (Marlins, Nationals, White Sox, Rays), however none of these groups are prone to have a man left with as clear a path to saves as Ben Joyce. Proper now, Carlos Estevez and Luis Garcia are each forward of Joyce on the Angels’ leverage ladder, however each of these guys are free brokers after this season, so the Angels haven’t any motive to carry onto them previous the deadline. As soon as these two are in a brand new uniform, Joyce ought to nearly actually be the ninth-inning man in Anaheim, and he has the upside to be an actual fantasy asset.
That is in all probability the nastiest sinker/splitter/splinker that Ben Joyce has thrown since he integrated into his arsenal earlier this month.

Daniel Hudson, Los Angeles Dodgers (Rostered in 53% of leagues)
Dodgers nearer Evan Phillips has (considerably quietly) been one of the efficient relievers in baseball since 2022.

Supervisor Dave Roberts has stated that Phillips will stay as a part of the leverage ladder in L.A., however veteran Daniel Hudson (rostered in simply 53% of leagues) has been pitching effectively and has earned a save in every of his final 4 appearances.

A’s nearer Mason Miller was positioned on the injured record on Thursday on account of a fractured pinky finger on his left hand.

Fortunately, it wasn’t on his throwing hand, so he may very well be again earlier than too lengthy of a keep on the IL. Nonetheless, he’ll be out for no less than two weeks and Lucas Erceg is the probably man to step in for any upcoming save conditions (though supervisor Mark Kotsay stated he will combine and match primarily based on conditions). Erceg has been stable all yr with 11 holds and a 26.2% Okay%. He is price rostering for anybody who simply needed to throw Miller onto their IL spot.

Hunter Harvey, Kansas Metropolis Royals (Rostered in 44% of leagues)
The Royals began the aid pitching commerce market by choosing up Hunter Harvey from the Nationals on July 13.
