Andrés Muñoz Stats

Seattle Mariners pitcher Andres Munoz struck out three over a perfect 1 1/3 innings to earn the save during Thursday's 3-1 win over the Cleveland Guardians. With two outs and runners on first and second base, he struck out Jose Ramirez to escape the jam in the eighth inning. The 23-year-old has been on fire recently and hasn't allowed a run over his last 10 appearances. He is three for five in save opportunities with a 2.47 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, and 82 strikeouts across 51 innings in 2022. Munoz will continue to be used in high-leverage situations and should be rostered in all league formats that reward the category holds.

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz didn't make things easy but did pick up his second save of the season in Tuesday's 8-6 win over the Yankees. Munoz entered to pitch the ninth inning up by two. He got the first two hitters out on strikeouts, but then allowed a single and back-to-back walks before striking out the final hitter with the bases loaded. Paul Sewald has served as the primary closer this season for the Mariners, but he pitched the seventh inning of this game, likely because of the close score. Munoz does have a 3.02 ERA with a 13.39 K/9 rate and 13 holds through 41 2/3 innings pitched this season, but Sewald is the clear arm to roster for fantasy purposes.

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz closed out the team's 4-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Friday to earn his first save of the year. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and one walk while also inducing a strikeout. It's hard to feel confident about how the bullpen is aligned in Seattle right now. Diego Castillo and Drew Steckenrider each earned a single save during Opening Weekend, but neither has had a save chance since then as the team hadn't provided a save opportunity until this Friday, when Munoz was called upon. Castillo pitched the ninth inning in a pair of games earlier this past week when the team had four-run leads, so he seems to be the favorite for saves. However, he didn't pitch on Thursday, so he technically should have been available when Munoz was called upon instead of him on Friday. Consider it a closer-by-committee for now, but if you have to take a shot with member of the committee, go with Castillo.
