Hector Neris seals the deal in Cubs victory over Cardinals
by Chris Schommer | Astros Correspondent | Sat, Jul 13th 7:06am EDT
Hector Neris secured his 13th save of the season, navigating through a shaky outing where he allowed a walk but no hits and struck out one in the Cubs' 5-1 victory over the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite a less-than-stellar WHIP and a worrisome FIP that suggests underlying issues, Neris continues to be utilized in save situations. His ability to strike out batters remains a redeeming feature, but the high walk rate is a persistent thorn for fantasy managers. Given his performance this season, including four blown saves, his role as a closer is stable but precarious. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on potential alternatives in the Cubs bullpen, as Neris's grip on the closer role could slip if his inconsistency continues.
