Episode Details

The closer race is heating up—and shifting fast. Alex Lange now owns the closer’s role in KC, pushing Lucas Erceg to mop-up duty, while Kenley Jansen reclaims his Detroit throne after injury, though his performance remains under the microscope. Aroldis Chapman’s trade buzz continues, but his grade stays steady. Cade Smith’s 19-game save streak since mid-April has him soaring to elite status, while Andres Munoz and Riley OBrien are teetering on the edge after shaky outings. Josh Hader’s return has been stellar, lifting his confidence grade, and Paul Sewald’s elite stuff is still held back by role limitations. In Baltimore, Andrew Kittredge now handles saves over Rico Garcia, with Ryan Helsley’s potential return adding more volatility to the mix.
