Brandon Workman Earns Seventh Save
4 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies relief pitcher Brandon Workman earned his seventh save of the season - and third with the Phillies - in a win over the Braves on Saturday. Workman has now converted his last three save chances and has established himself as the closer as the team used former closer Hector Neris in the eighth inning. Workman doesn't have the elite stuff you like to see from a closer and his 12.5 percent walk rate is dangerous for a reliever. He allowed two more baserunners in this game and it seems like a matter of when, not if, he suffers a complete meltdown in a save chance. That makes Workman a bit of a risk in fantasy, but those who need saves should start Workman as long as he's collecting saves for the Phillies.
