4 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies relief pitcher Connor Brogdon pitched a clean ninth inning with two strikeouts to earn his first save of the season Saturday against the Nationals. It was a nice performance for the 26-year-old righty, but he's not a name fantasy managers need to chase for saves. Closer Hector Neris was placed on the paternity list on Saturday and will slot back into the ninth inning role when he returns to the team. Additionally, Jose Alvarado and Archie Bradley pitched in high-leverage situations earlier in the game and are more likely than Brogdon to pick up saves in the future if Neris is unavailable. Brogdon can be left on waivers in fantasy.--Mike Schwarzenbach - RotoBaller
