Bullpen Report: September 18, 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.
- 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
•Devin Williams, MIL: Three of the last four days; 25 pitches on Sunday. | RosterResource
Joel Payamps is Monday’s likeliest closer, with Elvis Peguero and Hoby Milner also options.
•Kyle Finnegan, WSN: 26 pitches on Sunday; 26 pitches on Saturday. | RosterResource
Hunter Harvey threw 30 pitches on Sunday, so he almost surely won’t be available on Monday. Jordan Weems is the most probable closer.
Injury News
•None
Outlier Saves
•Taylor Rogers, SFG | RosterResource
Camilo Doval just couldn’t shut the door on Sunday, giving up four runs (albeit only one earned, thanks to his own fielding error) on Sunday against the Rockies, ultimately throwing 35 pitches to get two outs before giving the ball to Rogers. The lefty needed just two pitches to get that third out and end the game, picking up his second save of the year.
Committee Clarity
•None
Losing A Grip
•None
