AJ Ramos picked up his second save with the Mets on Friday working a clean ninth inning in the Mets' 7-6 win over the Phillies. Ramos struck out one in his lone inning of work. He now has 22 saves on the season against just two blown saves.
Fantasy Impact
This was Ramos' best appearance with his new team since being acquired before the July 31 no-waiver trade deadline. Ramos will serve to be a solid source for saves until the time Jeurys Familia returns from his stint on the DL (sometime in late-August) when it is presumed Ramos will move to a set-up role. That said, with the Mets out of contention, management may not try to rush Familia back, extending Ramos' fantasy value as a closer deep into September.
