6 years agoWashington Nationals relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera is expected to be the team's closer while Sean Doolittle is on the disabled list. Doolittle was placed on the 10-day DL with a toe injury but is expected back for the first game of the second half. Herrera has struggled since coming to Washington but has an overall 1.89 ERA on the season with a 29/5 K/BB ratio. He was already an established closer on the Royals so he has experience with the job. Herrera needs to be added in all leagues as he should see a fair amount of save opportunities in Doolittle's absence.--Dan Fappiano
