Samy Natera Jr.

The Angels selected the lefty from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, where he was 5-0 with a 3.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and a 34.4% strikeout rate. Available in every league at 2% ownership, a LHP with elite swing-and-miss numbers is worth a deep-league speculative stash. The 14%+ walk rate is a concern, but if the Angels slot him into the rotation or a high-leverage bullpen role, that K rate plays immediately. Monitor his first big-league outing to assess role before committing a roster spot.

The committee hedge for Joyce's off days, with two saves since the deadline exodus removed Zeferjahn, Yates, and Suter from the roster. The Angels' 14-save season total caps the floor on overall opportunity. Best add in 14-team leagues where Joyce is already owned and you need coverage for his rest days.

The deep-league hedge on Joyce's off days. Has two saves since the trade-deadline exodus cleared Yates, Zeferjahn, and Suter from the roster. The Angels are dead-last in MLB with 14 saves, so overall opportunity is limited — but Natera is the better add in leagues where Joyce is already rostered.

Recorded his second save with six whiffs on 23 pitches, finishing the eighth and retiring all three hitters in the ninth. He is the deep-league hedge because Joyce's workload restrictions create planned save chances on off days.
