Griffin Jax Stats

Minnesota Twins right-hander Griffin Jax was used in the ninth inning of the 7-5 victory over the Texas Rangers on Thursday. He walked and struck out one without allowing a hit or a run to earn his second save of the season. Over 53 1/3 innings, Jax owns a 3.38 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 23.1% strikeout rate with 19 holds. The 28-year-old doesn't have much value in standard leagues, with Jhoan Duran closing the majority of games, but fantasy managers should be happy with his production in hold formats.

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Griffin Jax blew his sixth save of the season in Monday's 4-3 extra-innings win over the Mariners. Jax entered the game to pitch the top of the ninth up by one. He got the first two outs on a groundout and strikeout but then allowed a single and a go-ahead two-run home run before getting the final out on a groundout. Teammate Jhoan Duran, who serves as the team's closer, had pitched the two previous days, so he was likely unavailable to close this one out. Jax has pitched well overall this season with a 3.19 ERA and 14 holds in 42 1/3 innings pitched. However, his fantasy value is limited given Duran's secure hold on the team's closer's role.

Minnesota Twins reliever Griffin Jax closed out Wednesday's 4-2 win against the Milwaukee Brewers, grabbing his first save of the season. After Jhoan Duran pitched the eighth, the club called on the 28-year-old for the ninth, and he threw a perfect frame while striking out one. Jax is now sporting a 3.72 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and 25.8% strikeout rate with seven holds across 29 innings. Duran is still the main closer in Minnesota, but the right-hander may be due for a few more saves this season as he continues to be used in high-leverage situations.
