Hector Neris Secures Save in Tight Cubs Victory
by Matthew Adam | Astros Correspondent | Tue, Jul 23rd 6:47am EDT
Hector Neris logged a save in the Cubs' 3-1 win over the Brewers, allowing one hit over an inning.
Fantasy Impact:
While he didn't record any strikeouts, his ability to keep runs off the board in a close game was crucial. This season, Neris's performance has been a mixed bag with a 3.63 ERA and a somewhat concerning 1.53 WHIP, which suggests he often allows too many baserunners. His strikeout rate remains solid at 9.3 K/9, but his high FIP of 4.84 and low strikeout-to-walk ratio indicate potential volatility. Fantasy managers should view Neris as a risky, albeit sometimes necessary, option for saves, keeping an eye on any shifts in his usage or effectiveness that could impact his role.
