Eligibility
The Reds have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Buck Farmer.
Fantasy Impact
Farmer registered a 4.20 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 70 strikeouts across 71 games with the Reds last season. The 32-year-old will likely be in line for a middle relief role in the Reds’ bullpen.
Buck Farmer pitched a perfect inning, allowing only one hit and striking out one to earn his third save of the season in the Reds' 5-3 victory over the Rockies on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
With this performance, Farmer has now lowered his season ERA to 2.48 and maintained his impressive strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.20. Despite some blown saves earlier in the season, Farmer has been a reliable option for the Reds out of the bullpen with six holds and two saves to his name.

Fantasy Impact
The right-hander has been a reliable option out of the Reds' bullpen this year, posting a 2.60 ERA and 0.87 WHIP across 24 appearances. While he has only recorded one save, he has also notched three holds and blown just two saves, showing he can be trusted in high-leverage situations. With performances like this, Farmer should continue to see opportunities to close out games for Cincinnati.
Buck Farmer threw a 1-2-3 ninth inning Sunday, closing out the Cardinals for his second career save.
Fantasy Impact
The veteran has had a solid year for the Reds and has emerged as a late-inning option for the team down the stretch. He probably only got the opportunity Sunday since Alexis Diaz threw 26 pitches on Saturday, but he could have the chance to vulture another save before the 2022 season is done. On the season, Farmer is sporting a 3.29 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 10.3 K's per nine.
The Tigers are expected to activate Buck Farmer (groin) from the 10-day injured list Thursday when eligible.
