Cole Sands seals the deal in Twins victory

Cole Sands delivered a flawless inning to notch a save in the Twins' 5-2 win over the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

He faced the minimum, allowing no hits or walks and striking out one. This performance underscores Sands's growing reliability in high-pressure situations, enhancing his fantasy value as a potential late-inning option. His season metrics, including a 3.23 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP, combined with a strong 10.2 K/9 rate, suggest he could be a sneaky pick for saves and holds moving forward, especially given his improving command and ability to minimize base runners. Sands's role may continue to expand if he maintains this level of efficiency.
