Mason Miller

9 entriesMiller was placed on the bereavement list Monday ahead of the Padres' series in St. Louis. He leads the NL with 19 saves and is one of the most dominant closers in baseball, so this is a short-term absence — not a role threat. Tyler Zuber and Calvin Faucher are the most likely bridge options. Retain Miller; you may have a window to grab Zuber cheaply if your roster has room.
MLB-leading 14 saves, 0.63 SIERA, 55.7% K-rate. The most dominant closer in baseball. Hierarchy is Miller / Adam / Estrada — Miller is untouchable. Top-5 RP rest of season.
13 saves with elite K production. The Padres' bullpen has been deep and Miller is the unquestioned ninth-inning arm. Top-10 RP rest of season.
13 saves (tied for MLB lead). San Diego picked him up over the winter and he's been everything advertised — elite velocity plus a Padres bullpen that gets him into save chances. Top-8 RP rest of season.
0.84 ERA, 23 K in 16 IP. The setup-to-closer story of the year — fully locked since Robert Suarez went out. Top-5 RP rest of season; claim immediately if available.
The cleanest setup-to-closer story of the year. 0.84 ERA, 23 K in 16 IP, and the role is uncontested with Robert Suarez out. Top-5 RP rest of season — at this point he's the priority RP add in any league he's somehow available.
Scoreless streak ended at 34.2 IP on a controversial umpire call, but he still earned the save. Season line: 1.26 ERA, 0.56 WHIP, 28:2 K:BB. Undisputed closer. Don't overreact — top-3 reliever in fantasy.
Extended scoreless streak continues. Elite K rate.
Extended scoreless streak per Closer Monkey. Dominant K rate. Jeffrey Springs now primarily starting.
