Chad Green Gives Up Four Runs, Blows Save On Wednesday
Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Chad Green (4-6) blew a save on Wednesday, as his team lost to the New York Mets 6-2. Green entered the game in the ninth inning when the game was tied 1-1 and, in 2/3 IP, gave up one hit and three walks, allowing two runners to score on sacrifice flies. After that, Francisco Alvarez proceeded to hit a three-run homer off of Genesis Cabrera, where two of those runners he inherited from Green. Overall, Green was charged for allowing four runs. This marks the fourth blown save from Green in his last five appearances. In that time, his ERA on the season has climbed from 1.61 to 3.49. Green is still Toronto's closer and worth holding onto in leagues for fantasy managers needing the saves.
Toronto Blue Jays reliever Chad Green nailed down his 14th save in Monday's 4-1 win over the Boston Red Sox, concluding a game suspended on June 26. Green allowed one hit and struck out three batters in his 19-pitch (13 strikes) effort. The veteran reliever is 4-3 with a 1.69 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 42 appearances, striking out 36 and walking 11 in 42 2/3 innings. He has yet to blow a save opportunity and should be a part of the pitching staff of fantasy managers as the Blue Jays have won five straight in a push to get their record to .500.
Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Chad Green was called upon to hold a one-run lead against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. Green did give up a hit to Cody Bellinger who ended up stealing his way into scoring position. Despite that, Green was able to battle back and convert his 13th save of the season. The right-hander is now 11-for-11 in save chances since taking over as the primary closer in Toronto. The Blue Jays have struggled to find a reliable closer all season long. It looks like Green is finally the answer and he should be worth adding in fantasy leagues where saves matter.
Toronto Blue Jays reliever Chad Green picked up his 12th save of the season in Monday's 4-2 win against the Los Angeles Angels. The 33-year-old allowed one run with no strikeouts over an inning in Monday's victory. He surrendered a solo blast to Jo Adell in the bottom of the ninth inning but bounced back to retire the next three batters he faced to pick up the save. Green has been a consistent closing option for the Jays to replace the injured Jordan Romano (elbow). He is (3-2) with a 1.86 ERA and a 0.85 WHIP across 38 2/3 innings. With how well he is pitching and how depleted Toronto's bullpen is, the closing job has been Green's to run with. Green is available in 44% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues and should be picked up by fantasy managers searching for saves.
Toronto Blue Jays closer Chad Green picked up his fourth save of the season in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Mariners. Green came on to get one out in the eighth, then recorded the final three outs in the ninth. It didn't come without some drama though as the 33-year-old coughed up a home run that allowed Seattle to get within a run of tying the game. All in all the righty threw 27 pitches (20 strikes) and it was the first time he'd given up a run since early June, a span of 9 appearances. Green is serving as closer after a plethora of injuries in the Toronto bullpen and may relinquish duties to Yimi Garcia when he returns. On the season, Green has a 1.64 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, 5:19 BB:K, six holds, and four saves in 22 IP.
Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Chad Green shut the door against the Houston Astros on Tuesday night, picking up his third save of the season while allowing one hit on two strikeouts in a 7-6 victory. Green gave up a leadoff double to Jeremy Pena, but then struck out the next two batters and put away Jose Altuve with a fly out to end the ball game. The 33-year-old veteran is having a career year with the Blue Jays with his season ERA at 1.37. He's on pace for a career-low strikeout rate, but what he's been lacking in strikeouts, he's been making up for with only three earned runs in 19 2/3 innings. While Jordan Romano (elbow) and Yimi Garcia (elbow) are sidelined, Green should remain the interim closer, barring any possible trades happening at the deadline.
Blue Jays Reinstate Chad Green, Option Erik Swanson To Triple-A
The Toronto Blue Jays reinstated right-hander Chad Green (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned right-hander Erik Swanson to Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Green will be available out of the bullpen for Toronto for Tuesday night's game in Chicago against the White Sox for the first time since being put on the injured list in mid-April with a right-shoulder strain. The 33-year-old veteran tossed three scoreless innings on a minor-league rehab start with Buffalo and should be ready to immediately jump into his late-inning setup role in front of closer Jordan Romano. Green is valuable in holds leagues and as a handcuff to Romano. Swanson has come apart in 2024 and will look for answers on the farm. The 30-year-old has allowed 14 earned runs on 20 hits (five homers) while walking four and fanning 10 in 13 2/3 relief innings in 2024.
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Chad Green (shoulder) could be activated from the injured list as early as Tuesday, according to manager John Schneider. Green has been out since the middle of April with a right-shoulder strain but is ready to return to the big-league bullpen after throwing three scoreless innings for Triple-A Buffalo on his minor-league rehab start. Green opened the season as Toronto's primary ninth-inning guy, but that was with Jordan Romano on the injured list. The 33-year-old reliever could still be valuable in fantasy leagues that count holds, but as long as Romano is healthy, Green will serve in a late-inning setup role for the Jays. Before going on the IL, Green went 1-0 with two saves, a 2.35 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and seven strikeouts in 7 2/3 frames.
Toronto Blue Jays right-handed reliever Chad Green (shoulder) said he felt good during a nine-pitch minor-league rehab outing on Sunday for Triple-A Buffalo. Green will throw another inning for the Bisons on Wednesday, and the Blue Jays are hoping he'll be ready to return from the injured list after that. The 32-year-old veteran tossed a scoreless inning on Sunday and struck out one. He landed on the injured list in the middle of April after straining his right shoulder, but Green appears to be healthy now and ready to rejoin Toronto's bullpen as a late-inning setup man in front of closer Jordan Romano. When Romano opened the 2024 season on the injured list himself, Green filled in as the Jays' primary ninth-inning man. Green is a handcuff option for Romano and can also be useful in holds leagues.
Toronto Blue Jays right-handed reliever Chad Green (shoulder) threw a bullpen session on Friday, which was his first time throwing off a mound since he was placed on the injured list back on April 20 with a right-shoulder strain. As long as the 32-year-old veteran doesn't encounter any setbacks along the way, he should certainly be back in Toronto's bullpen by the end of the month. The former 11th-round pick by the Detroit Tigers in 2013 out of Louisville isn't as attractive in fantasy now that regular closer Jordan Romano is back and healthy, but Green still plays a key role as a late-inning setup man and can carry fantasy value in holds leagues when he's active. Before his injury, he was 1-0 with two saves, a 2.35 ERA, a 1.04 WHIP and seven strikeouts in 7 2/3 relief innings.
