Alexis Diaz gets a win in relief Wednesday

by Scott Youngson | Reds Correspondent | Wed, Aug 17th 4:06pm EDT

Alexis Diaz threw two shutout innings to earn his fourth win Wednesday. Diaz relieved starter Nick Lodolo, who also held the Phillies scoreless.

Fantasy Impact:

Diaz is clearly the best pitcher in the Reds' bullpen right now, and the guy David Bell is going to in clutch situations. This will sometimes lead to saves for him down the stretch, but Bell will probably use him in the most critical situations rather than as a traditional closer. Even so, he's worth a spot on your roster if you have a need at relief pitcher, given his outstanding 1.75 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and 12.2 K's per nine.
