Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz picked up his third save of the season on Thursday, locking down the Texas Rangers in a 4-3 win. Munoz tossed up goose eggs across the board in his inning of work as he didn't allow a baserunner and didn't strike anyone out either. It was the 25-year-old's first save since April 6, as he has been used in non-save situations and has also blown a save since then. It seems like Munoz is still Seattle's highest-leverage pitcher and should see the most save chances, but his season total might be held back by being used in the seventh or eighth innings on occasion.
Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz took the blown save and the loss in a 2-1 extra-innings defeat at the hands of the Colorado Rockies. Munoz came in with the Mariners up 1-0 in the bottom of the 10th, but allowed three hits and two runs (one earned) without recording an out. Munoz hasn't been at his best this year, pitching to a 3.68 ERA and 1.64 WHIP. That being said, this was his first blown save of the season and the first time he has given up more than one run in an appearance. He should continue to see the majority of save opportunities for the Mariners and should be rostered in all leagues where saves matter.
Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz got the final out of the eighth inning with the tying runner at third, then struck out the side in the ninth to slam the door shut on the Red Sox in a tight 1-0 win Friday night in Seattle. It was the first save of the season for the 25-year-old, who pitched to a 2.94 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 31.8% K% on his way to a 4-7 record and 13 saves last year for the Mariners. The righty is projected for 29 saves this season and doesn't have any competition for the role at the moment, so he should be one of the top closers for fantasy this season.

Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz entered 2023 with a ton of hype as a Statcast darling and one of fantasy's top sleepers among relief pitchers. But a right deltoid strain in early April would dump cold water all over the 25-year-old's breakout prospects, costing him two months of action and letting Paul Sewald run away with Seattle's closing job. With Sewald out of the picture via trade during the second half, however, Munoz began racking up some saves later in the year after the Mariners made him work out of the seventh and eighth innings quite a bit to perhaps groom him for the role. Collecting the bulk of his saves (12) in 30 appearances from July 26 to Sep. 30, Munoz totaled a 2.94 ERA (2.70 FIP) and 67:22 K:BB over 40 innings in 2023. There's not much Munoz did wrong last year, according to Statcast, with a 10.4% walk rate signifying his most glaring flaw. After the M's made no notable additions to augment their bullpen this offseason, the flame-throwing right-hander has a clearer path to seizing the ninth-inning mantle for 2024. With an affordable fantasy ADP and some of the best swing-and-miss stuff in the entire game (39.4% whiff rate), Munoz deserves to be a popular choice once again as a top-12 option among relievers for any rosters searching for saves in the early-double-digit rounds, but he'll need to overcome former top prospect Matt Brash for the lion's share of the save opportunities.
