Junichi Tazawa to serve as setup man

by David A Marcillo | Sun, Jul 23rd 5:17pm EDT

Miami Marlins relief pitcher Junichi Tazawa will work the late innings as a setup man now that David Phelps has been traded to the Seattle Mariners.

Fantasy Impact:

Tazawa was absolutely atrocious to start the season, but before a bit of a hiccough last night, he had appeared in 10 straight games without allowing a run. A.J. Ramos is still around (for now) closing games, and Kyle Barraclough will work the eighth innings, but Tazawa will have the seventh and may return some value for players in holds leagues desperate for bullpen help.
