Colten Brewer secured a shaky save in Wednesday's 6-5 victory over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Brewer allowed no hits but issued two walks in his inning of work, managing to keep the Giants scoreless to notch his first save of the season. Brewer's performance, while effective in preserving the win, highlighted ongoing control issues that could be concerning for fantasy managers. His season ERA of 3.68 and WHIP of 1.36 suggest moderate reliability, but his high walk rate could lead to more stressful outings. Fantasy managers should consider Brewer a risky option for saves, especially in tight matchups, given his tendency to allow base runners.

Fantasy Impact

Brewer will take the roster spot of Ben Brown (neck) who is headed to the injured list. Prior to landing on the injured list, Brewer held a 3.09 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP.
