Louis Varland

Allowed Alex Bregman's game-tying two-run homer for his first blown save, but the hierarchy remains Varland, Tyler Rogers, then Braydon Fisher. Hold him; monitor the declining strikeout rate and note that Rogers is Friday's vulture-save option after Varland worked back-to-back games.

Varland leads Toronto's closer committee with 14 saves after the Blue Jays benched Jeff Hoffman from the ninth-inning role. The current hierarchy is Varland, then Tyler Rogers, then Hoffman — and Varland is claiming roughly 55–60% of save opportunities when he's pitching well. He struck out the side Wednesday in 10 pitches for his 14th save. Not locked in, but the clear #1 arm in the committee. Add in any format if he's available.

5 saves, has converted 5-of-6 since late April. Toronto's offense keeps games close enough that the volume is real. Top-15 RP rest of season.

3rd save Sunday with 4 K in 20 pitches. Jeff Hoffman continues to implode (3 blown saves, 7.59 ERA). Varland has clearly seized the role despite the 'committee' label. Must-add in all leagues — 49% rostered and climbing fast.

3rd save on Sunday. Still technically a 'committee' per the front office but he's clearly the guy — dominant peripherals and earning consecutive save chances. Must-add if not already rostered.

2nd save on 4/25 (allowed 1 run on 3 hits in the 9th). Still labeled a 'committee' by the front office but he's clearly the guy — 0.00 ERA, 19 K in 13 IP. The only knock: he gave up a run for the first time Friday. Still a must-add.

Hoffman removed after 7.59 ERA and 3 BS. Varland has a 0.00 ERA with 19 K in 13 IP — he is the frontrunner despite the 'committee' label. Add immediately.
