2 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies relief pitcher Brad Hand recorded his second save of the season on Friday in a 5-3 win over the Washington Nationals. This is an interesting development, as the bulk of fantasy players expected Seranthony Dominguez to take over the role of closer after the news of Corey Knebel losing the job came out. It should be noted that Dominguez faced the heart of the Nationals order while Hand faced the bottom of the order, and then the Nationals first and second hitters after he allowed two baserunners. Hand also came in to face a lefty, so it looks like the back end of the Phillies bullpen will be used on a matchup basis. Hand is widely available and looks like a decent option for saves in deeper leagues.--Matt Garon - RotoBaller
