Tracked Roster
13 playersRecent Activity
25 entriesMLB-leading 18 saves with 37 K vs. 5 BB across 25.2 IP. The most consistent closer in baseball — the 1.05 WHIP is genuine. Top-5 RP rest of season.
Cantillo has quietly been a top-30 SP — 4-1 with a 3.05 ERA and a strikeout rate in the mid-30s. The Guardians' rotation is the AL Central's best (Williams + Messick + Cantillo + Bibee). Last week to claim him before the ownership catches up to the production.
Started vs Washington Nationals (4W-1L, 3.05 ERA)
Williams is set up for a two-start week in a favorable matchup spread. His May line (5 ER / 29 K / 20 IP) is the validation of the breakout we covered Saturday. Still in 28% of leagues — claim there. He's now firmly a top-25 SP rest of season.
Started vs Washington Nationals (0W-6L, 3.75 ERA)
The plate discipline leap is the story — his K% is nearly half what it was last year, and the walk rate climbed to 8.6%. He closed April batting .385 over his last 15 games. The counting stats (especially those 7 steals) deserve a roster spot in 12+ team leagues.
A top-20 Yahoo player over the last two weeks — .341 with 5 SB, 9 R, and 8 RBI. The 1:1 K:BB ratio makes him especially valuable in points leagues. Rocchio's multi-position eligibility is the cherry on top. Top-20 2B/SS rest of season; claim in any league he's still floating.
MLB-leading 16 saves across 23 appearances. The most reliable closer in baseball this year — no cracks in the role. Top-5 RP rest of season.
Started @ Philadelphia Phillies (6W-3L, 3.67 ERA)
15 saves (MLB lead); 9-of-10 scoreless over his last 10 outings. The Guardians' bullpen has fully settled around him. Top-5 RP rest of season.

Pitcher List's most-added hitter on both Yahoo and ESPN. Martínez has homered in four of his last five games with 3 SB — the comparison being thrown around is early-career José Ramírez. Top-30 2B rest of season ceiling. Aggressive add in 12+ team leagues.
Pitcher List's priority hitter. Rocchio cut his K rate dramatically (was 77:22 K:BB last year — now 17:16). 4 HRs and 8 SBs in 45 games. Top-25 2B/SS rest of season with the multi-position eligibility bonus.
14 saves, 11 consecutive conversions. 31 K vs. 5 BB across 21.2 IP. Most consistent closer in MLB. Top-7 RP rest of season.
