Bullpen Report: April 18, 2022
The 2022 version of Bullpen Report includes five different sections, as well as the closer chart, which can be found at the bottom of the page.
We will always include a link to the full Closer Depth Chart at the bottom of the Bullpen Report each day. It’s also accessible from the RosterResource drop-down menu and from any RosterResource page. Please let us know what you think.
- Notable Workloads: Primary closers or valuable members of a closer committee who have been deemed unavailable or likely unavailable for the current day due to recent workload.
- Injury News
- Outlier Saves: Explanation for a non-closer earning a save during the previous day.
- Committee Clarity: Notes on a closer committee that clarify a pitcher’s standing in the group.
- Losing A Grip: Struggling closers who could be on the hot seat.
The “RosterResource” link will take you to the corresponding team’s RosterResource depth chart, which will give you a better picture of the full bullpen and results of the previous six days (pitch count, save, hold, win, loss, blown save).

Notable Workloads
•David Bednar, PIT: 15 pitches on Sunday; 24 pitches on Saturday. | RosterResource
Co-closer Chris Stratton threw 28 pitches on Saturday but had Sunday off, so he should be good to go on Monday if needed. Anthony Banda is the top lefty option.

Anyone see who was warming up for the Red Sox while Diekman was pitching the 8th, before the game got out of hand?
Robles
In the Sunday night game, the Padres went with Wilson for an out in the 7th and Luis Garcia for the 8th. Pierce Johnson was fresh, but he also got knocked around on Friday night and his control has been spotty. Maybe time to put him in yellow…

My read on the Twins committee order is Pagan, Duran, Duffey, in that order. After his blown save, Duffey has been used while Twins are down and in the earlier innings. Duran has been utilized 7th-8th primarily. During the Patriot’s Day game, Duran looked poised to go back in for the 8th, with Pagan warming for the late 8th//9th. But Boston gave up 4 runs in the 8th/Twins went to Jax for 2 innings. I think Pagan may get the 9th until a collapse.
