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).

Castillo has recorded two wins and a save in his last three appearances. He has three saves and three wins on the year. His 10.35 K/9 is right in line with his career marks, but his 4.05 BB/9 rate remains high and has led to ERA inflation. While he isn’t giving up the long ball (0.45 HR/9), hitters are batting .263 against the righty. Rostering Castillo on fantasy teams is a gamble. On one hand, he can be a sneaky save and wins option. On the other, one outing could do damage to ratios. He’ll likely need rest on Tuesday and fellow committee members Andrés Muñoz and Paul Sewald should be available.
