Andrés Muñoz Fantasy Stats

The Seattle Mariners exercised right-handed closer Andres Munoz's $6 million option for the 2026 season on Tuesday, a source told Francys Romero. It was an expected move for the Mariners to keep one of the most dominant relievers in baseball around for another year. The 26-year-old Mexican reliever was an All-Star for a second straight year in 2025, finishing the regular season with a tidy 1.73 ERA (2.43 FIP), 1.03 WHIP, a career-best 38 saves, 83 strikeouts, and 28 walks in 62 1/3 innings out of the bullpen for Seattle. The Mariners could keep the 26-year-old around through the 2028 season, too, as they have an $8 million option on him for 2027 and a $10 million option for 2028. Munoz's walk percentage has been in double digits each of the last three years, but he's made up for it by striking out 32.6% of the batters he's faced in the last three seasons.

Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz continued his stellar season in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rockies, picking up his 38th save of the season. Munoz came in to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by one and turned in a 1-2-3 performance with two strikeouts. The 26-year-old has been one of baseball's best closers this season, converting 38 of 45 save opportunities with a 1.47 ERA, a 0.99 WHIP, and a 12.18 K/9 rate in 61 1/3 innings of work. He should enter the 2026 season as a top fantasy option now that he has shown what he can do as the team's primary closer.

Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz continued his strong season in Monday's 4-2 win over the Cardinals, picking up his 33rd save of the season. Munoz entered the game to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by two. He got the first out on a fly-out, allowed a walk, and got the final two outs on strikeouts. The 26-year-old has been given the chance to shine as the team's primary closer this season, converting 33 of 40 save opportunities with a 1.66 ERA, a 1.05 WHIP, and an 11.6 K/9 rate in 54 1/3 innings of work. He now has the third-most saves in baseball and should continue to be a top fantasy option for the rest of the season.

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz blew his sixth save of the season in Thursday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Yankees. He entered the game with a two-run lead in the bottom of the ninth, but allowed three singles and a walk that ultimately tied the game. These were his first allowed earned runs since June 1st, although he did get saddled with one blown save and one relief loss in back-to-back nights on June 27 and June 28 due to ghost runners scoring in extras. The 26-year-old is still locked in as Seattle's closer, and already has three saves in July.

Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz slammed the door on the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday to earn his 21st save in a 1-0 victory. Munoz threw a 1-2-3 ninth inning with one strikeout on 14 pitches to log his third straight perfect appearance. He has now gone nine outings in a row without allowing an earned run. Just named to his second American League All-Star team, the 26-year-old has pitched to a jaw-dropping 1.06 ERA with a 0.82 WHIP and 45:13 K:BB in 34 innings.

Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz needed just nine pitches to earn his league-leading 10th save of the season on Sunday, nailing down the 7-6 win over the Marlins. The 26-year-old has been a force in 2025, tossing 14 innings of scoreless ball, allowing just five hits and six walks while striking out 18 (23.5 percent K-BB%). The 6-foot-2 hurler has picked up a win along the way as well, leaving him as the highest-scoring fantasy reliever through the first month of the season. This is one of the few bullpens with no question marks, with Munoz the unquestioned closer in Seattle. Continue to deploy him with confidence.

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz locked down his ninth save of the season on Thursday, pitching a scoreless ninth in a 4-3 win over the Red Sox. He struck out two and walked one. This extended his scoreless streak to 13 innings, as he hasn't given up a single run all season. He is also maintaining a 0.85 WHIP with 17 strikeouts, making him one of the most dominant relievers in baseball so far in 2025. His nine saves are tied for second-most in the league, and there will be plenty more to come as he has a firm hold on the closing role for Seattle.

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz has already racked up seven saves in his team's nine wins this season. He pitched a clean ninth inning against the Reds in Cincinnati to secure the 5-3 win. He didn't give up a hit or run but did need 19 pitches to get through the inning. The 26-year-old righty has appeared in nine games for the Mariners this year, allowing only five hits and racking up 12 strikeouts in nine scoreless innings. He'll continue to be one of the top closers in baseball since his team plays so many close games, and he is so effective closing them out. The Mariners finish their series in Cincy on Thursday afternoon.

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz picked up his fourth save of the season on Monday night, moving within one save of the Major League lead. Munoz has shut the door on each of the Mariners' four wins this season and held the Astros without a runner in a clean inning that included a strikeout of Yainer Diaz. He has not allowed a run in five innings over five games while issuing four walks and allowing two hits but also recording eight strikeouts. He's one of the top closers in the American League and should continue to anchor the back end of the Mariners' bullpen. Seattle should continue to be in enough close games that he stays among the league leaders in saves most of this season.

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz earned his third save of the season and helped the Mariners avoid a sweep at the hands of the visiting Tigers. It wasn't as stress-free as Munoz, the Mariners, or his fantasy owners would have liked it to be, but he ultimately got the job done. He entered the 3-2 game to start the ninth inning and walked the first two batters he faced. After a strikeout, he gave up a single to load the bases with one out. However, he bounced back and retired Javier Baez on a fielder's choice that got the out at the plate and then struck out Zack McKinstry on three straight pitches to put the game in the books. Munoz has picked up three saves in three games while working three innings. He does have three walks but has also picked up five strikeouts. He and the Mariners have Thursday off before a three-game set in San Francisco against the Giants over the weekend.
