Bullpen Report: June 30, 2021

NEW FEATURE ALERT! We have added an upgraded version of RosterResource’s Closer Depth Chart to FanGraphs. Read more about it here.

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

•Greg Holland, KCR: 30 pitches on Tuesday. | RosterResource

Scott Barlow, Jake Brentz, Kyle Zimmer and Josh Staumont are all more than capable of filling in.

•José Alvarado, PHI: 33 pitches on Tuesday. | RosterResource

Co-closer Archie Bradley would get the ball in the ninth.

•Alex Reyes, STL: 32 pitches on Tuesday. | RosterResource

Giovanny Gallegos is the best option to substitute. So too could Génesis Cabrera, although he’s worked back-to-back days and may not be available either.

•Brad Hand, WSN: Three days in a row; 8 pitches on Tuesday. | RosterResource

Austin Voth (who’s worked three of the last four days but topped out at 16 pitches thrown) and Wander Suero are the two best bets to substitute if needed.

Injury News

•None

Outlier Saves

•Dillon Tate, BAL | RosterResource

Tate entered with one out in the seventh when the Orioles were leading by a single run, but continued to pitch and ultimately finished the game even after Baltimore scored nine more unanswered runs. Tate ultimately retired eight of nine batters faced to earn a very impressive first career save.

Committee Clarity

•None

Losing A Grip

•None
