Hector Neris clutches save in crosstown nail-biter
by Chris Schommer | Sat, Aug 10th 10:02am EDT
Hector Neris secured his 16th save of the season, allowing two hits and a walk in a scoreless inning as the Cubs edged out the White Sox 7-6 on Friday.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not recording any strikeouts, Neris managed to keep the White Sox from scoring, which is what ultimately counts for those clutch fantasy points. His season-long metrics, including a 3.51 ERA and a 1.49 WHIP, suggest inconsistency, but he remains a viable option for saves in most fantasy formats. Given his high WHIP and modest strikeout rate, fantasy managers should continue to view Neris as a somewhat risky, albeit often necessary, closing option in deeper leagues.
