Daniel Bard News
Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Daniel Bard was asked to throw multiple innings during Sunday's contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Bard was fantastic as he struck out six batters while allowing two hits in the win. This notched his 33rd save of the season, which is quite impressive for the 37-year-old reliever. The Rockies aren't very good, so Bard's success hasn't been noticed as much as Edwin Diaz. Despite that, Bard has quietly been one of the best relievers in baseball.
Colorado Rockies closer Daniel Bard earned his 28th save of the season in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Braves. Bard came in to shut things down in the bottom of the ninth inning and did just that, delivering a 1-2-3 inning with two strikeouts. The veteran has been a consistent fantasy producer this season despite playing on a less-competitive team, converting all but three save opportunities with a 2.28 ERA and a 10.27 K/9 rate. He should continue to be a valuable player for fantasy managers down the stretch.
Colorado Rockies closer Daniel Bard picked up his 26th save of the season in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Rangers. Bard entered to close things out with a one-run lead. He got the first out on a groundout, allowed a double, but was able to strand the tying run after getting a strikeout and ground out. The veteran has been a reliable fantasy option all season long, converting all but three save opportunities with a 2.22 ERA. Bard should be in fantasy managers' lineups for the rest of the season, despite the fact that he plays on the Rockies.

What a remarkable comeback story it was in 2020 for Colorado Rockies relief pitcherDaniel Bard. After his last major league appearance in 2013 with the Red Sox, Bard returned to the big show with Colorado and pitched quite admirably. His fastball averaged 97 mph with an incredible spin rate. He walked batters at a 9% clip and struck out a quarter of the batters that he faced. Combined with a ground-ball rate of almost 50%, he was the real deal. Bard is currently 35 years old, so it is hard to project lightning in a bottle for a second straight season (and a full one), but aside from that, it isn't a stretch to think that Bard could succeed as the Rockies closer to start 2021. Bard will be fantasy relevant this spring.
