Bullpen Report: July 1, 2023

The 2023 version of the 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.

1. 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.
2. Injury News
3. Outlier Saves: Explanation for a non-closer earning a save during the previous day.
4. Committee Clarity: Notes on a closer committee that clarify a pitcher’s standing in the group.
5. 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 Robertson, NYM: 29 pitches on Friday; 13 pitches on Thursday. | RosterResource

Adam Ottavino is the likeliest closer on Saturday, though it could be Brooks Raley 레일리 in a left-on-left situation.

Injury News

•None

Outlier Saves

•Pierce Johnson, COL | RosterResource

Johnson was ousted from his closing role after struggling, but his replacement, Justin Lawrence, threw 24 pitches Wednesday, evidently requiring multiple days off. So, Johnson filled in with a three-run lead, earning his 13th save of the season with a scoreless inning and a strikeout. Signed to a one-year contract in the offseason, he’ll probably on the move at the Trade Deadline to a team tantalized by his stuff and hoping for a bounce back (his ERA is currently 6.00 flat) away from Coors.

Committee Clarity

•None

Losing A Grip
