Chad Green picked up his first save of 2025 in Thursday's 8-5 win over the Angels, throwing a perfect ninth inning with two strikeouts. The save chance arose with closer Jeff Hoffman having worked the previous two days (allowing six runs across those outings) and setup man Yimi Garcia having yielded seven runs over his last two appearances.

Thursday's save was Green's first of the season. He currently holds a 3.63 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP through 17.1 innings, alongside a 17:4 K:BB ratio. The opportunity came with Jeff Hoffman and Yimi Garcia having either worked recently or struggled in their prior outings.

Chad Green worked around two hits to work a scoreless inning on Sunday against the Cardinals.

Green was able to work out of the jam by getting Jordan Walker to pop up. He remains the closer in the Blue Jays bullpen.

Chad Green notched another save, tossing a perfect inning in Toronto's 2-0 victory over Boston.

Fantasy Impact

He threw 13 pitches, allowing no hits, walks, or runs, and recorded no strikeouts. This performance underscores Green's role as a reliable closer for Toronto, enhancing his fantasy value in leagues where saves are a premium. His season ERA now impressively stands at 1.61, complemented by a stellar 0.85 WHIP. Despite a lower-than-average strikeout rate (7.9 K/9), his ability to suppress hits and maintain a high save count without blowing any opportunities makes him a solid option for fantasy managers needing steady late-inning points.
