Brad Hand the new closer in San Diego?

Brad Hand (RP - FA)

Brad Hand came on in the ninth to collect this first save of the season. He loaded the bases before working out of the jam.

Fantasy Impact
While nothing has been made official, it looks like the Padres are moving Hand into the ninth inning in place of the struggling Brandon Maurer. It will at least be worth monitoring moving forward, and Hand is worth a stash for those interested in speculating on saves. He has been solid this year and can help ratios and strikeouts even outside of the closer role.
