Héctor Neris Stats

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris allowed one run in one inning to take his third blown save of the season on Thursday. Called on to protect a one-run lead, Neris struck out Ronald Acuna Jr. before serving up a game-tying homer to Freddie Freeman. Neris would escape the inning despite a walk and a wild pitch, but the damage was done to cost Zack Wheeler a win on a day where he threw eight shutout innings. Neris shouldn't be in trouble of losing the ninth-inning role as this was a difficult save situation and he's been mostly good this season, pitching to a 2.19 ERA with nine saves and 31 strikeouts in 24 2/3 innings. He should be rostered in all leagues where saves are valued.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris has been activated off the paternity leave list on Sunday. The 31-year-old has posted a 1.96 ERA with nine saves over 23 innings this season. He should return to his normal role as the closer in Philly. Connor Brogdon filled in as the closer on Saturday, but won't have much fantasy value going forward. Both David Hale and Chase Anderson have been placed on the COVID list, so the Phillies didn't need to make a move to bring back Neris.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris was placed on the paternity list on Saturday, according to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com. Neris has been one of the better closers in fantasy this year, as he has posted a 1.93 ERA and 1.000 WHIP with nine saves and 27 strikeouts over 23 innings of work. While Neris is out, Jose Alvarado will likely be the go-to guy for save opportunities, with Sam Coonrod likely the next guy in line after Alvarado.
