Brock Burke (2-0) pitched one and a third clean innings and picked up the win in the 6-4 win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Burke has been a solid mid-leverage reliever this year, and is gaining more trust to be a high-leverage man with performances like this. He is 2-0 with a 2.02 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and nine strikeouts in 13.1 innings with three holds. If you are looking for a ratio cleaner in saves and holds leagues, Burke might be worth a flier.

Brock Burke (1-0) earned the win on Sunday after allowing one run on one hit and two walks, striking out one batter in one plus inning in the 9-1 victory over the Astros.

Burke got lucky in this one, as he was simply the pitcher of record during the Rangers' offensive explosion in the top of the seventh inning. He fired a clean sixth inning, and then ran into trouble and loaded the bases in the seventh, before Jonathan Hernandez almost bailed him out entirely. Burke has made five appearances so far, with a 4.26 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP and six strikeouts over 6.1 IP. He remains a middle-leverage relief option in a solid Rangers bullpen.

Brock Burke earned the hold after he pitched two innings of relief in which he allowed one run on one hit while striking out one in Monday's 11-2 win over the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

Burke remains in the mix for holds in an improved Rangers bullpen this year. However, unless you are absolutely desperate for holds, you can leave Burke on the waiver wire in your league, as he should not be earning many saves with the likes of Jose Leclerc and Will Smith higher up in the pecking order.
