Carlos Estévez News
Los Angeles Angels closer Carlos Estevez nailed down the win for the Halos, retiring all three batters he faced in the ninth inning of Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Sox. Estevez threw 15 pitches, 10 of them for strikes, and didn't allow a hit or a walk while striking out one batter on his way to a third save. The 31-year-old has been good thus far in his three appearances, allowing just one hit and no walks while striking out one. Estevez saved 31 games for the Angels last season, striking out 79 batters in 62 1/3 IP on his way to his first All-Star selection. He's rostered in just 71% of Yahoo leagues, so managers in need of saves should pick him up immediately.
Los Angeles Angels closer Carlos Estevez picked up his second save of the season in Monday's 7-4 win over the Marlins. Estevez came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth up by three. He allowed a leadoff single but then induced a ground-ball double play and got a fly-out to end the game. The 31-year-old was thought to have competition when the team signed Robert Stephenson (shoulder) this off-season, but Stephenson's injury and Estevez's 31 saves in 2023 make it his job to lose at this point. He has converted both save opportunities with one hit, no walks, and no strikeouts.
Los Angeles Angels relief pitcher Carlos Estevez picked up his first save of the season in a 4-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Estevez had zeroes across the board in his inning of work, as he didn't allow a baserunner and didn't strike anyone out either. After a rough second half of 2023, there were some questions about Estevez's status as Angels closer. Fortunately for him, the newly acquired Robert Stephenson got injured late in Spring Training, leaving Estevez as the only real option to close out games. If he can continue to succeed he should maintain the role even when Stephenson returns, but if he falters the Angels' might be quick to make a change.

Los Angeles Angels reliever Carlos Estevez served as the club's closer in 2023, collecting 31 saves along with a 3.90 ERA in 63 appearances. However, he also struggled to a 6.59 ERA across 27 1/3 innings in the season's second half. New Angels manager Ron Washington recently confirmed Estevez as the team's closer to begin the season but it's difficult to imagine a long leash. It's also difficult to ignore the additions of Matt Moore, Luis Garcia, Adam Cimber, and especially Robert Stephenson to the Angels' new-look relief corps. Stephenson may not be ready to open the season with a shoulder injury but he was one of the game's elite relievers in the second half of last season, with an MLB-best 42.9% K-BB%, at the same time Estevez was one of the worst. If that trend continues, Estevez's 251.19 ADP could be disastrous. It's not an unfair ADP but his short leash is not worth an investment on draft day.
