Fantasy Impact:
Even though Doolittle again battled injury and had the highest ERA of his career last year, the option was a no-brainer for the Nationals. Doolittle should remain in the closer's role unless the Nationals add a significant piece to their bullpen, which seems unlikely. Despite the injuries, Doolittle has tallied at least 24 saves in each of the past three seasons and makes a fine second-tier closer.
