Raisel Iglesias

Reds manager David Bell said he wants to use Iglesias when a high-leverage situation arises rather than limiting his best reliever to the ninth. He could serve a role reminiscent to Josh Hader, which makes the southpaw unlikely to record another 30 saves. Yet he can still contribute if scattering some saves and wins with a high strikeout tally and low ERA over 70-75 frames. Move him down the rankings in standard-scoring leagues, but don't dismiss him entirely.

Raisel Iglesias might not be everyday closer?

MLB.com's Mark Sheldon hints new Reds manager David Bell might not use Raisel Iglesias as a traditional closer in 2019.

Fantasy Impact

Sheldon notes that new Reds pitching coach Derek Johnson comes from Milwaukee where the franchise used their best relievers in the most high leverage situations, regardless of what inning that came in. Until we hear definitively, however, we should still be drafting Iglesias as a top closer in fantasy. His fantasy value would obviously take a hit if the Reds announce he'll be used more as a "relief ace".
