Fantasy Impact

Sewald needed just 11 pitches to strikeout Alec Bohm, get Rafael Marchan to pop out, and then to strikeout Justin Crawford for his fifth save of the season. The righthander is a perfect 5-for-5 in save opportunities and is tied with three others for the major league lead. Sewald carries a 2.84 ERA and a 0.63 WHIP with a 9:0 K:BB ratio in 6.1 innings.

Paul Sewald pitched around a two-out triple in the bottom of the ninth to secure his fourth save of the season on Friday as the Diamondbacks edged the Phillies, 5-4.

Fantasy Impact

Sewald is now a perfect 4-for-4 in save opportunities and is tied for the major league lead in saves with four others. The righthander retired the first two batters on Friday before Justin Crawford made things interesting with a triple to right. Sewald, however, got Trea Turner to fly out to left to preserve the one-run win. Sewald has a 3.38 ERA in seven appearances, allowing two earned runs on four hits with no walks and seven strikeouts in 5.1 innings.

Paul Sewald allowed a walk-off single in the bottom of the tenth inning as the Mets defeated the Diamondbacks, 4-3, on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Sewald (0-2) suffered his second loss of the season as he pitched to two batters in the bottom of the tenth, trying to preserve a 3-3 tie. After a groundout, Ronny Mauricio laced a single to right to bring home the winning run for the Mets. Sewald's ERA, however, was not affected due to the automatic runner placed at second to start the inning. It was his second loss in his last three appearances, but both came in non-save situations so he remains a perfect 3-for-3 in that department. Sewald has a 4.15 ERA with a 7:0 K:BB ratio through 4.1 innings and, despite a couple of hiccups, doesn't really have a challenger for the closer's role in Arizona at the moment.

Paul Sewald pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning with a pair of strikeouts to earn his third save of the season as the Diamondbacks defeated the Braves, 2-1, on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

One night after suffering the loss by allowing back-to-back solo home runs in the ninth inning to break a scoreless tie, Sewald improved to 3-for-3 in save situations with a perfect ninth inning against the Braves on Saturday. He struck Mike Yastrzemski and Ozzie Albies before retiring Michael Harris II on a flyout to center. Other than the hiccup on Friday, Sewald has been perfect for the Diamondbacks as the two home runs he allowed have been the only two baserunners he has given up in four innings of work.

Paul Sewald struck out the side in a perfect ninth inning for his second save in as many days as Arizona completed a come-from-behind, 7-5, win over Detroit on Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran righthander has now appeared in three games this season, pitching 2.1 perfect innings thus far. He saved a career-high 34 games between Seattle and Arizona in 2023 and could potentially take a run at that number in 2026.
