Mychal Givens Under The Weather
5 years agoBaltimore Orioles closer Mychal Givens (illness) will miss his bullpen session on Saturday due to an illness. Reliever Hunter Harvey is also sidelined with an illness to start the weekend. Givens was Baltimore's primary closer in 2019 and had a rough 4.57 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 11 saves while striking out 86 in 63 innings. He allowed a career-high 13 home runs and also walked 3.7 hitters per nine innings. The 29-year-old should lead the Orioles ninth-inning options again heading into the 2020 season, but he's not all that attractive to fantasy managers in that role on a team that is likely to finish in last place in the division again. If you're desperate for save options late in drafts, Givens would be worth a look.
