Gregory Soto

Gregory Soto notched his second save of the season, allowing two hits and striking out one in a scoreless inning as the Phillies eked out a 2-1 victory over the Angels.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the successful outing, Soto's season has been rocky, characterized by a bloated 6.52 ERA and a 1.76 WHIP over 12 appearances. His high strikeout rate of 10.24 K/9 continues to be a silver lining, suggesting he can overpower hitters, but his overall inconsistency and high BABIP (.448) raise concerns about his reliability in high-leverage situations. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his volatility could lead to heartburn despite the occasional save.

Soto was part of a five-player swap between the Tigers and Phillies on Saturday. The hard-throwing left-hander and two-time All-Star posted a 3.28 ERA/3.59 FIP in 2022 along with a 22.8% K%. However, Soto has long struggled with control en route to a career 13.1% BB% despite racking up 48 saves over the last two seasons.
