Lucas Erceg notched a save while allowing one earned run and striking out three in Friday's 3-1 win over the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite giving up a couple of hits, Erceg managed to hold the Marlins to just one run, securing his second save of the season. His performance this season has been notably solid, boasting a 1.93 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP over 14 appearances. His high strikeout rate (12.9 K/9) continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, especially in categories that reward strikeouts and saves. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious; while Erceg's ability to strike out batters is impressive, his susceptibility to allowing hits in crucial moments could be a concern in tighter games. His role in high-leverage situations appears secure for now, making him a decent option for saves and holds in mixed leagues.
