3 years agoOn Saturday, a night after Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Daniel Bard saw teammate Carlos Estevez earn a save against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, Bard was called on to preserve a 2-2 tie in the eighth inning against the Dodgers. Bard promptly allowed all four baserunners he faced to reach without recording an out. Bard yielded two walks, two hits, and three earned runs on Saturday in the Rockies 5-2 loss to the Dodgers. Bard's record fell to 7-7, as his horrible August continued. Over his last seven games, Bard has allowed 11 earned runs over 4 2/3 innings pitched (a 21.21 ERA) and has posted a 3.43 WHIP. In August, Bard has saved four games in six opportunities but has posted an 11.42 ERA, and a 2.19 WHIP over 11 appearances and 8 2/3 IP. He has been removed as closer, at least temporarily, due to his recent struggles. While it has been reported that the Rockies are not giving up on Bard as closer permanently, there are only four weeks left in the season for Bard to right the ship and resume closer duties. Fantasy managers in redraft formats can likely move on from Bard at this point given his struggles and limited upside to accumulate saves through the remainder of the season. Fantasy managers in desperate need of saves for the stretch run could look to Estevez as an option while he temporarily holds down the closer role in Colorado.--Nick Ritrivi - RotoBaller
