Barnes is no longer the closer with Eovaldi back off the IL, and his ratios won't be ideal, but fantasy owners can bet on another 50+ second half Ks while rostering him as a fallback saves option should Eovaldi hit the IL again.
Barnes isn't receiving save opportunities in Boston, and he has allowed 11 runs and nine walks during a disastrous June. An elite 40.9% strikeout rate has made him worth rostering even without closing, but it's awfully tough to hang on to a struggling setup man in standard mixed leagues.
Barnes is being deployed in a flexible role by Red Sox manager Alex Cora, but he is pitching so well that he can have quite a bit of fantasy value even if he never becomes Boston's exclusive closer.
