| Boston Red Sox reliever Matt Barnes was tagged with a loss on Wednesday after pitching just 0.2 innings and allowing four runs, one homerun, one base on balls, and striking out just one against the Angels. Kyle Williams - Dog Day Sports Thu, May 5th | Brewers relief pitcher Devin Williams tossed a perfect ninth inning Thursday, striking out the side and picking up his first save of the season in the Brewers' 3-2 win over the Pirates. Chris Schommer Thu, Apr 28th | |

| Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports that Red Sox closer Matt Barnes (back) likely won't be available out of the bullpen for Sunday night's series finale against the Yankees. However, he could return when the Red Sox arrive in Detroit on Monday. Andersen Pickard Sun, Apr 10th | ||
| Notes | ||
| Barnes was one of the best pitchers in baseball over the first half of the season, harnessing his control and dominating with his fastball/cuveball combination. But he fell apart in the second half, seeing his ERA rise by almost four points. There's speculation that his decline was related to MLB cracking down on foreign substances but, either way, the first half version of Barnes disappeared. His job security was in doubt heading into the year, but the Red Sox didn't bring anyone into challenge him and the biggest internal competitior for the job, Garrett Whitlock, has been stretched out for a starter or long-relief role. Expect Barnes to begin the year as the closer but whether he remains all year is anyone's guess. Draft him as a low-end second reliever and hope we say the first-half 2021 version of him.
