Garrett Cleavinger delivered a pristine inning, striking out one and securing the save in the Rays' narrow 5-4 victory over the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
This performance not only added another save to his tally but also reinforced his role as a reliable late-inning option for the Rays. With a season ERA now even more impressive at 1.45 and a WHIP that remains solid, Cleavinger is shaping up to be a dependable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly in formats that value saves and strikeouts. His high strikeout rate (14.0 K/9) continues to provide excellent value, making him a worthy consideration for fantasy managers in need of bullpen strength.
Garrett Cleavinger delivered a solid performance, securing a save in the Rays' 7-5 victory over the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
He pitched a clean inning, allowing no hits and striking out one, though he did issue a walk. This outing lowers his ERA to a respectable 2.53 and marks his second save of the season. Despite a somewhat worrisome WHIP of 1.59, Cleavinger's ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (11.8 K/9) continues to make him a valuable asset in leagues that reward strikeouts and saves. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious due to his high walk rates and BABIP, which suggest potential volatility in his performances.
Garrett Cleavinger has an ACL injury and is likely out for the remainder of the season.
Fantasy Impact
Losing Cleavinger in the Rays’ bullpen is going to be a big loss considering how he was pitching prior to the injury. The 29-year-old had a 3.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 14 strikeouts over 15 games this season. Fantasy managers can move on from Cleavinger if he was on their roster.
Garrett Cleavinger failed to retire a batter and surrendered a walk-off three-run homer during the ninth inning of Sunday's game against the White Sox. He was charged with the blown save as Tampa Bay ultimately fell to Chicago by a score of 12-9.
Fantasy Impact
Cleavinger's final line included zero outs, two hits, and two earned runs. His streak of allowing just one earned run over 10 2/3 innings came to a drastic halt as Chicago snapped its 10-game losing skid at home.
Garrett Cleavinger struck out one batter and preserved the 3-3 tie while pitching the 10th inning of Saturday's game against the White Sox. He even earned the win as Tampa Bay ultimately defeated Chicago by a score of 4-3 on a walk-off hit in the bottom of the 10th.
Fantasy Impact
Cleavinger has looked great out of the Tampa Bay bullpen, allowing just one earned run, three hits, and four walks over 8 2/3 innings of work. He has also racked up an impressive 10.38 K/9 rate. Still, without a high-leverage late-innings bullpen role, Cleavinger isn't on the fantasy radar.
