Hansel Robles Logs First Save, Makes Case To Be Boston's Closer
3 years agoBoston Red Sox pitcher Hansel Robles makes a legitimate case to be the team's primary closer. The 31-year-old earned his first save of the season in Wednesday's 9-7 win over the Detroit Tigers. He struck out one while not allowing a baserunner across 1 1/3 scoreless innings to register his first save of the season. The right-hander hadn't allowed a run over 14 outings last September before faltering in the playoffs, where he blew Game 3 vs. the Rays and then lost Game 1 to the Astros. Robles has closer experience and saved 23 games for the Angels in 2019. Fantasy managers should add Robles as a speculative add in most league formats as he could be in the mix for saves chances for Boston in 2022.
