A.J. Minter Records Fifth Hold
Atlanta Braves reliever A.J. Minter recorded his fifth hold of the season on Monday as the club held on to defeat the Chicago Cubs by the score of 8-7. The hard-throwing lefty has had an up-and-down season with two blown saves and five runs allowed in 10 1/3 innings. He's missed some bats with a 23% strikeout rate but he's also inducing ground-balls at a high rate (51%) which has helped him avoid the home run ball. Minter is coming off a 2020 season that saw him post a 0.83 ERA with a 28% strikeout rate in 22 games. He isn't an elite option out of the bullpen in fantasy leagues but he could help as a back-up option given that he appears in line for significant high-leverage usage.
