3 years agoKansas City Royals relief pitcher Josh Staumont picked up his second save of the season in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Twins. Staumont came in to pitch the ninth inning up by a run. He got Ryan Jeffers to pop out, walked Luiz Arraez, struck out Jorge Polanco, and got Carlos Correa to ground into a force out to end the game. Fantasy managers likely thought that teammate Scott Barlow would be the team's leading closer heading into the season, but Staumont has seen and converted both of the team's save opportunities with a 3.60 ERA, six strikeouts, and three walks over five innings pitched. This does not necessarily mean that Staumont will be the outright closer for the Royals going forward, but he is worth a look in deeper roto leagues, as he is currently just 12 percent rostered.--Connelly Doan - RotoBaller
