He threw 20 pitches, allowed no hits, and walked one batter. Finnegan's performance continues to bolster his role as a reliable closer for fantasy managers, especially given his impressive 1.64 ERA and 0.95 WHIP this season. Despite a concerning 4.26 FIP that suggests potential regression, his ability to consistently close games (15 saves, 2 blown saves) should keep him relevant in all fantasy formats. However, his high FIP and low BABIP might hint at some rough patches ahead, so fantasy managers should stay alert but confident in his abilities for now.
