Alexis Diaz

Alexis Diaz delivered a flawless performance, striking out two and securing the save in the Reds' 4-3 win over the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

Diaz's outing was a model of efficiency, requiring just 14 pitches to complete a hitless, walk-free inning. This performance should offer some reassurance to fantasy managers, especially given his rocky 4.17 ERA and 1.39 WHIP this season. While his 8.9 K/9 indicates decent strikeout potential, his high FIP and WHIP suggest volatility. However, securing his 23rd save could hint at a stabilizing role in the Reds' bullpen, potentially boosting his value in leagues where saves are a premium.

Diaz allowed one walk but kept the Cubs hitless, securing his 22nd save of the season. Despite a less-than-stellar season ERA of 4.23 and a WHIP of 1.46, Diaz continues to be a viable closing option, primarily due to his role in a Reds team that provides him with regular save opportunities. His strikeout rate (8.5 K/9) remains decent, though fantasy managers might be wary of his high walk rates and FIP (4.33), suggesting some underlying struggles. Moving forward, while Diaz remains a solid source of saves, his peripheral stats indicate potential volatility.

He threw 19 pitches, allowed no hits or walks, and struck out one batter. Despite a rocky season with a 4.34 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP, performances like this highlight his capability as a closer. His save count now stands at 20, and while his strikeout rate isn't elite, he remains a viable option for saves in fantasy leagues. Diaz's ability to navigate high-pressure situations without surrendering runs is a plus, but his overall inconsistency this season might keep him as a risky, albeit necessary, fantasy play.

His strikeout rate remains decent at 8.9 K/9, but his control issues are highlighted by a lower strikeout-to-walk ratio of 1.52.
