Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Paul Sewald came on with a one-run lead during Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The veteran right-hander was greeted with a leadoff double by Rowdy Tellez. Sewald was able to retire the next two batters before Joey Bart smacked a game-tying double. This was a rough outing for Sewald, but he should remain the primary closer in Arizona. It's worth noting the D-Backs recently acquired A.J. Puk from the Miami Marlins. That being said, Puk could be in the mix for saves if Sewald continues to struggle.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller

Cleveland Guardians right-handed reliever Paul Sewald (shoulder) was pulled from his outing early on Monday against the division-rival Minnesota Twins due to right-shoulder inflammation. Sewald threw a pitch in the fifth inning and immediately waived to the dugout to come and take a look at him. The 34-year-old veteran reliever ended up throwing two-thirds of an inning while striking out one and allowing no hits before his injury. Expect the Guardians to send Sewald for testing before relaying the severity of his right-shoulder injury. There's certainly a chance he'll need to go on the 15-day injured list. It's already been a rough first year in Cleveland for Sewald, who came into Monday's contest against the Twins with a 6.55 ERA, a 1.36 WHIP, one save, 14 strikeouts and two walks in 11 innings pitched. We should have an update on Sewald's injury on Tuesday.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The Cleveland Guardians announced on Wednesday that they signed free-agent right-handed reliever Paul Sewald to an undisclosed major-league contract for the 2025 season. The deal includes a mutual option for 2026. It was a rough 2024 season for Sewald in his final year with the Arizona Diamondbacks, as he missed time due to injury and also lost his job as the closer. The 34-year-old veteran finished with a 4.31 ERA (3.95 FIP) and a 1.13 WHIP with 16 saves, a 26.1% strikeout rate and a 6.1% walk rate in 39 2/3 relief innings. He got a late start due to an oblique injury and saved 11 straight saves while being unhittable before everything fell apart. Although Sewald won't be the closer in Cleveland with Emmanuel Clase locked into that role, he did have 81 saves the last four years and should be worth a look in holds leagues as a setup man for the Guardians in 2025. UPDATE: Sewald will make $7 million, and his 2026 option will be worth $10 million.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Arizona Diamondbacks right-handed reliever Paul Sewald (neck) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session at Chase Field on Monday and is scheduled to throw again on either Thursday or Friday, making it unlikely that he would be activated from the injured list before the final few games or two of the regular season. "Paul's got a disk problem in his neck," manager Torey Lovullo said. "It's causing some problems with his left side, his left shoulder, so he can't go out there at full strength and compete. We made the decision, along with his input, to just step away and heal up and get strong." Sewald was put on the IL (retroactive to Sept. 12), which would mean that the first day he could be activated would be this Friday. With Sewald on the shelf, Justin Martinez has stepped into the closer's role for the Snakes. It's unclear if Sewald will be available to the team if they get into the postseason.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Paul Sewald (neck) played catch on Friday for the first time since being placed on the 15-day IL on Sunday with neck discomfort. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo also noted that Sewald will throw off a mound in the coming days. That news is a positive update for the 34-year-old, signaling that the discomfort is subsiding. Sewald has been a solid member of the Diamondbacks' bullpen in August and September after struggling in July (10.80 ERA). Though Arizona is clinging to the final wild card spot, Sewald likely is done for the regular season and wouldn't be able to return until the postseason. Fantasy managers hoping for help in the last week of the season should set their sights elsewhere. A fine replacement would be Justin Martinez, who's posted a 1.59 ERA in his last five appearances for Arizona.--Kevin Larson - RotoBaller
