Héctor Neris News
The Houston Astros signed free-agent relief pitcher Hector Neris to a two-year deal worth $17 million guaranteed on Saturday, according to a source. Neris will replace right-hander Kendall Graveman, who signed a three-year, $24 million deal with the Chicago White Sox earlier this week, in Houston's bullpen. The 32-year-old right-hander had multiple stints as the Philadelphia Phillies closer in the last eight seasons, and he had a 3.63 ERA with 98 strikeouts in 74 1/3 inning in 2021. Neris ranks second in relief appearances (372) and is third in relief innings (366 1/3) since 2016, so he should at least provide the Astros with plenty of innings in a backend bullpen role while helping Ryne Stanek set up closer Ryan Pressly. Neris should have value in leagues that reward points for holds.
Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris allowed one run across two innings to earn the relief win on Thursday against the Cubs. The former closer has had an up-and-down season, but he's been better lately and is a candidate to earn saves as closer Ian Kennedy has struggled mightily. Kennedy has a 6.32 ERA since joining the Phillies on August 1. In that same span, Neris has a 1.54 ERA and has posted an elite 40% strikeout rate. He has plenty of closing experience and has always been a favorite of manager Joe Girardi. Neris worth a speculative add in deeper roto leagues.
Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris allowed three runs in one inning at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday. Two steps forward, three steps back for Neris, who earned a save in his last outing on Sunday. He was less sharp in this one, however, as he allowed a go-ahead single to Giancarlo Stanton before serving up a home run to Rougned Odor that may very well be in orbit right now. Ranger Suarez was unavailable for Neris' save and Suarez pitched well in this game after Neris imploded. Suarez should be considered the closer in Philly with Neris being too unreliable to be rostered in fantasy at the moment.
