Hansel Robles Stats

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Hansel Robles was given the save chance Wednesday night against the Tampa Bay Rays, and he locked it down in a scoreless inning of work. He gave up one hit and struck out two batters. Robles has managed to collect 12 saves on the year despite a 5.22 ERA. With Matt Barnes both demoted and on the COVID list, it's a wide-open back end of the Boston bullpen, with Adam Ottavino and Garrett Whitlock the primary competition for save chances. Without a guaranteed role, Robles is volatile enough that fantasy managers should avoid him for now.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Hansel Robles may have been the new favorite for saves before Wednesday night's game, but he probably isn't any longer. Robles entered for the top of the 10th inning, and gave up five runs (four earned) on three hits with one strikeout. Two of those hits allowed were home runs. He took his fifth loss of the year, and now has a 5.47 ERA. If fantasy managers were looking to him to bolster their relief pitcher options, they should turn their attention elsewhere.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Hansel Robles was "excelente" Tuesday, according to manager Alex Cora. Robles entered the game in relief of Matt Barnes in the ninth inning with a two-run lead and two runners on, and he didn't allow either run to come around to score, giving up no runs and no hits with two strikeouts in an inning of work. Robles now has 11 saves on the year, but this was his first in Boston. With Matt Barnes struggling mightily, Robles might be in line for the next save opportunity, though Adam Ottavino would also be a candidate.
