Lucas Sims Expected To Share Closer Duties
4 years agoCincinnati Reds right-hander Lucas Sims threw a scoreless inning in a 7-1 Cactus League loss to the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. Sims is expected to share the closer role with Amir Garrett and possibly Sean Doolittle this season. The veteran reliever got a late start to the spring due to an elbow issue but he is feeling good as the regular season approaches. He told reporters, "I feel really good. There were some small adjustments that we wanted to make over the past two outings. I kept it really simple and finally got to put it all together today." Sims sharing the ninth-inning duties isn't ideal for fantasy but he should still hold some value in NL-only formats and deeper mixed leagues.
