3 years agoSeattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald continued his excellent year Tuesday night, coming on in the eighth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays and striking out two batters in a clean inning to lock up his ninth hold. Sewald appeared to have a claim on the closer's role very briefly this weekend, after Kendall Graveman was traded to the Astros, but his usage since the acquisition of Diego Castillo seems to suggest he'll remain the primary set-up man. He still holds some fantasy value due to his astronomical 58 strikeouts in 34 1/3 innings, especially in leagues that value holds.--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
