Joe Mantiply Seals the Deal Against Reds

Joe Mantiply notched a save in the Diamondbacks' 4-3 victory over the Reds.
Fantasy Impact:
He threw 11 pitches, striking out one without allowing any hits or walks in his brief appearance. This performance marks Mantiply's second save of the season, bringing a slight uptick to his save tally which could hint at more late-game opportunities. His solid 3.52 ERA and 1.17 WHIP are respectable, but his moderate strikeout rate of 7.6 K/9 doesn't make him a standout for those chasing strikeouts. However, his excellent 2.34 FIP suggests he's pitching better than some traditional stats might indicate. Fantasy managers should view Mantiply as a potential low-end relief option, particularly in formats that reward holds and saves, though his limited strikeout capability somewhat caps his upside.
