David Robertson Won't Be Sole Closer
2 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said he will continue to mix and match in the later innings after the team placed right-hander Seranthony Dominguez (triceps) on the injured list on Sunday. Thomson listed Connor Brogdon, Jose Alvarado, Brad Hand, David Robertson and Andrew Bellatti as options to close with Dominguez sidelined for at least the next 15 days. It's not the greatest situation for fantasy managers that are speculating on saves in Philadelphia moving forward, but although Robertson might not see every save chance, he still feels like the best bet. The 37-year-old is the most experienced closing option and recorded a two-inning save on Saturday in the second game of the doubleheader against the New York Mets.
