Gregory Soto Finds New Nest In Baltimore

The Philadelphia Phillies linked up with the Baltimore Orioles again for the second time in a week to send more bullpen pieces down the Beltway. Baltimore reunited high-leverage reliever Gregory Soto with his former Philadelphia teammate, Seranthony Dominguez. Soto joins a crowded cast in Baltimore, where it appears he's headed for a middle relief role, bridging the gap between Yennier Cano and Craig Kimbrel. With two saves on three chances and seven holds in 2024, Soto has pitched to a 4.08 ERA and 44 Ks in 35 and 1/3 innings. Baltimore is going to win many games down the stretch, and Soto is definitely someone who should be added to all watch lists, especially given the recent shakiness of Kimbrel, who's blown six saves this year and has a 7.27 ERA in July.

Gregory Soto Earns First Save Of Season Monday

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Gregory Soto earned his first save of the season in Monday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the Cardinals. Soto came in to pitch the bottom of the 10th inning up by two with an automatic runner on second. He got the first out on a fly-out, allowed a single, and ended the game with back-to-back strikeouts. It was the 29-year-old's first save opportunity this season, but he has served as a closer in the past and has yet to allow a run this season with five strikeouts and no walks in 3 2/3 innings pitched. The Phillies have yet to see consistent results from their end-of-game bullpen options, so fantasy managers should keep an eye out to see if Soto finds himself in more high-leverage opportunities.

Gregory Soto Blows Wednesday's Game

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Gregory Soto was called upon to shut the door against the Miami Marlins on Wednesday. The Phillies bullpen completely imploded as they allowed three runs over the final two innings. Soto allowed Jorge Soler to blast a 404-foot home run to tie the game in the ninth inning. It sounds like Craig Kimbrel was unavailable after having pitched in two of the last three games. Soto also pitched on Tuesday, so it's unclear why the Phillies decided to hand the ball to him. Regardless, it didn't go well as his ERA climbed to 4.25 after that outing. The expectation is that Soto won't get many more save chances.

Gregory Soto Slams Door On Rockies For First Save

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Gregory Soto recorded his first save of the season in closing the team's triumph over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday. The 28-year-old now owns a 4.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP with 21 strikeouts this year. The southpaw appears to be in line to share ninth-inning duties with righty Craig Kimbrel, who worked three straight days before Saturday, depending on matchups while Jose Alvarado is sidelined. Soto checks a ton of positive boxes on Statcast with perhaps the most notable one being an 84.4% average exit velocity allowed. The two-time all-star should be added off waivers for saves-needy fantasy rosters with a potential uptick in save chances forthcoming in the interim. He saved 30 games for the Detroit Tigers last season.

Gregory Soto Reports To Camp Wednesday

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Gregory Soto reported to major-league spring training camp on Wednesday. Soto has been late getting to spring training this year due to visa issues, but he should still have time to get himself ready for Opening Day as he gets set to begin his first year in Philadelphia. The 28-year-old left-hander had a career-high 30 saves for the Detroit Tigers last year. However, he also saw a dip in his strikeout percentage while continuing to be wild with a 12.9 percent walk rate. His move to an extremely crowded back end of the Phillies bullpen makes him very volatile for fantasy purposes given his wildness and likely huge drop in save opportunities.

Gregory Soto To Earn $3.925 Million In 2023

The Philadelphia Phillies and left-handed reliever Gregory Soto avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.925 million on Friday. The Phillies just acquired Soto in a trade with the Detroit Tigers a week ago after finishing up back-to-back All-Star seasons in Detroit. Last year, he went 2-11 but had a career-low 3.28 ERA (3.59 FIP), 1.38 WHIP, career-high 30 saves and 22.8 percent strikeout rate in 60 1/3 innings over a career-high 64 relief appearances. The 27-year-old southpaw has never had a BB/9 under 5.00 in his four major-league seasons, so without nearly as many save opportunities in what is expected to be a closer-by-committee situation in Philly, Soto loses considerable fantasy appeal with his move to the Phillies. Along with Soto, the team will also have Seranthony Dominguez, Craig Kimbrel and Jose Alvarado as options to save games.

Phillies Acquire Gregory Soto, Kody Clemens From Tigers

The Philadelphia Phillies acquired closer Gregory Soto and infielder Kody Clemens from the Detroit Tigers on Saturday in exchange for infielder Nick Maton, outfielder Matt Vierling and catcher Donny Sands. The 27-year-old Soto had a career-high 30 saves for the Tigers in 2022, but his fantasy stock is likely to fall with the move to Philadelphia and their closer-by-committee situation that also includes Craig Kimbrel, Seranthony Dominguez and Jose Alvarado. If the left-handed Soto can't limit his walks (12.9% BB rate last year), he could regress in 2023. Clemens, the son of Roger Clemens, made his major-league debut in 2022 and hit .145 with five homers, 17 RBI and 13 runs scored in 56 games. He'll give the Phillies flexibility on the infield as a bench bat.

Phillies Working On Trade For Gregory Soto

The Philadelphia Phillies are working on a trade for Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Gregory Soto on Saturday, according to sources. The Phillies recently added veteran reliever/closer Craig Kimbrel to their bullpen, but it looks like they may not be done adding. Soto has been an All-Star for the Tigers each of the last two seasons as their primary closer. He had a career-high 30 saves in 2022 while also recording a 3.28 ERA (3.59 FIP), 1.38 WHIP and 22.8 percent strikeout rate in 60 1/3 innings. While the Phillies went with a closer-by-committee approach for the vast majority of the 2022 campaign, Soto would most likely become their primary closer if they were able to land him in a trade. As of right now, Kimbrel, Seranthony Dominguez and Jose Alvarado are the three primary options for saves in Philly's bullpen.

Gregory Soto Earns 30th Save

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Gregory Soto made quick work of the Minnesota Twins hitters during Sunday's game. The lefty reliever needed only 12 pitches to close out the game. He earned his 30th save of the season to go with a 3.17 ERA and 60 strikeouts. It has been a down year for the Tigers, but Soto has been a bright spot for the team in the bullpen. The expectation is that he'll continue to be a key part of the bullpen next season.

Gregory Soto Earns 26th Save Of Season Tuesday

Detroit Tigers closer Gregory Soto picked up his 26th save of the season in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Orioles. Soto entered the game to pitch the bottom of the ninth up by one and delivered a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout. Soto has had some blemishes but has been a useful fantasy closer this season, compiling a 2-9 record with two blown saves, a 3.44 ERA, a 9.16 K/9 rate, and a 4.91 BB/9 rate. The Tigers face a tough schedule overall for the rest of the season, so Soto's opportunities to help fantasy managers may be limited, but he is worth keeping in lineups for roto leagues at least.
