Cole Sulser Stats

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Cole Sulser picked up his sixth save of the season in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays. Sulser entered to pitch the ninth inning up by two and threw a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout to end the game. The 31-year-old has pitched well this season, compiling a 3.12 ERA over 49 innings pitched. However, save opportunities (and holds for that matter) have been very hard to come by for the O's this season, so Sulser's fantasy value has been limited.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Cole Sulser picked up his second save of the season in Friday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Blue Jays. Sulser came on to pitch the 10th inning up by a run with an automatic runner on second. He walked Bo Bichette, got a double play, and struck out Teoscar Hernandez to strand the tying run at third. The 31-year-old has pitched well this season, compiling a 2.30 ERA and 36.4% strikeout rate. It is conceivable that Sulser could see more high-leverage pitching opportunities given his success so far, but the O's have not found themselves in such situations often this season. As such, his fantasy value remains limited.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Cole Sulser picked up his first save of the season in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Twins. Sulser entered the game to pitch the ninth inning up by three. He got the first out on a fly out, then allowed a walk and a double, but was able to get a strikeout and another fly out to end the game without allowing any runs to score. The O's had started the season with Cesar Valdez as their closer, but his poor performance lately has taken him out of ninth-inning situations (he pitched the eighth inning in Tuesday's game). As such, it is possible that the O's may start trying some other arms out in save situations, including Sulser. The 31-year-old has pitched very well this season, compiling a 1.74 ERA with a 13.94 K/9 rate. The fact that the O's have not won many games and that they may be moving to a committee does not bode well for figuring out fantasy value, but managers in need of saves should keep an eye on how the O's navigate the later innings in the coming days.
