Jhoan Duran Fantasy Stats

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jhoan Duran (oblique) was placed on the 15-day Injured List, retroactive to April 15, on Saturday. The Phillies are hopeful that Duran will be back in 15 days. It's a "very mild" oblique strain, so the team believes he'll only need the minimum of 15 days on the shelf. It's unclear who is going to be the primary closer while Duran is out. It could be a closer-by-committee situation, which is never fun for fantasy managers. At the moment, Brad Keller and Jose Alvarado are the favorites to get the ball in the ninth while Duran is down. Fantasy managers will hopefully only be without Duran for the next two weeks, but the team should continue to update his status as Duran progresses.

The Philadelphia Phillies placed right-handed closer Jhoan Duran (oblique) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to April 15) with a left-oblique strain on Saturday, according to Jeff Skversky of FOX 29 Philly. Fantasy managers should expect Duran to be out longer than the 15 days with his oblique injury, but he needs to remain stashed in all fantasy leagues while he recovers. The hard-throwing 28-year-old Dominican was off to a fine start in 2026, too, in his first full season with the Phillies. Through seven relief appearances, Duran held a 1.35 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, five saves, eight strikeouts, and no walks in 6 2/3 innings pitched. It's unclear how the Phils will approach the ninth inning in the absence of Duran moving forward, but all of Jose Alvarado, Brad Keller, and Orion Kerkering could be involved in some sort of closer-by-committee situation. Alvarado, 30, has the most closing experience in his nine-plus MLB seasons, for what it's worth. The left-hander has recorded 52 saves in 374 1/3 innings pitched, and he's been in Philly since the start of the 2021 campaign.

Across 70 innings split between the Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies in 2025, Phillies closer Jhoan Duran recorded a 7-6 record with a 2.06 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 80 strikeouts, and 32 saves. Despite making 26 fewer appearances with Philadelphia than Minnesota, Duran recorded the same number of saves (16) with both teams. Heading into 2026, the 28-year-old is locked in as the Phillies' closer and could be in line for his most productive MLB season from a saves perspective. While Minnesota often deployed Duran in high-leverage spots outside of the ninth inning, Philadelphia used him as a traditional closer. Duran owns a career K-BB rate of 23.6% and also does a tremendous job of limiting the long ball, as he's allowed a HR/9 of just 0.67 across 254 1/3 career innings. He profiles as an elite closer option for fantasy managers heading into 2026.

Philadelphia Phillies closer Jhoan Duran has already made 23 appearances with the organization, but now, he's getting ready for his first spring training as a Phillie. Duran was dealt from Minnesota to Philadelphia ahead of the 2025 trade deadline, and he instantly boosted his fantasy value by moving from a seller to a contender. With the Phillies, Duran immediately picked up more save opportunities. In fact, he had more save opportunities in 23 games with the Phillies than he did in 49 games with the Twins. He remained just as effective after the change of scenery, finishing the year with a 2.35 FIP, 10.29 K/9, 2.44 BB/9, a 65% ground ball rate, and a career-high 32 saves. He continued to effectively rack up strikeouts, limit walks, and minimize loud contact, which is a rare combination. The 28-year-old has cemented himself as one of the best closers in baseball, and in doing so, he has continuously elevated his fantasy stock. He ranks as the #3 relief pitcher in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball draft rankings for 2026.

Philadelphia Phillies closer Jhoan Duran notched his 32nd save of the season on Friday in a 3-1 win over his former team, the Minnesota Twins. Duran allowed two hits, but did not give up a run and struck out two in his one inning of work. The 27-year-old has been a bit shaky of late, allowing six hits and three earned runs over his last five appearances. Overall, Duran's numbers on the season are rock solid. Across 70 innings split between Minnesota and Philadelphia, Duran is 7-6 with a 2.06 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 80 strikeouts to go along with his career-high 32 saves.

Philadelphia Phillies closer Jhoan Duran notched his 26th save of the season on Thursday in his team's 2-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Duran pitched a scoreless ninth inning with one strikeout and did not allow a baserunner. The hard-throwing righty has been excellent since being acquired by Philadelphia from the Minnesota Twins at the trade deadline. In 10 2/3 innings with the team, he's pitched to a 1.69 ERA and 0.94 WHIP with nine saves and 13 strikeouts. Duran is a high-end, must-start closer option in fantasy.

Philadelphia Phillies closer Jhoan Duran picked up his 25th save of the season in Monday's 10-8 win over the Brewers. Duran came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by two and delivered a 1-2-3 performance with no strikeouts. The 27-year-old has been excellent all season and has been even better since joining the Phillies at the trade deadline. He has now converted 25 of 28 save opportunities on the season with a 1.95 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, and a 9.90 K/9 rate in 60 innings of work. He should continue to be a high-end fantasy option now that he has joined a strong team where he can have a full grasp of the closer's role.

Philadelphia Phillies closer Jhoan Duran picked up his 21st save of the year on Sunday in an 11-9 win over the Washington Nationals. Duran, who entered in the ninth inning with a runner on second and one out, retired both batters he faced - including a game-ending strikeout of James Wood. He threw 12 pitches (10 strikes) in his first outing since his injury scare on Friday. Duran had to leave that game on a cart after Nationals infielder Paul DeJong lined a comebacker off his right ankle. The 27-year-old was fine by Saturday, though, much to the delight of the Phillies and fantasy managers. Duran's ERA is down to 1.83 with a 1.11 WHIP and 57:18 K:BB in 54 innings.

Philadelphia Phillies closer Jhoan Duran will be available out of the bullpen Saturday against the Washington Nationals, manager Rob Thomson told reporters. Duran left Friday's 6-2 win early after Paul DeJong lined a comebacker off his right ankle, but the hurler dodged an injury. He briefly dealt with a "dead foot," which has since gone away, Thomson said. While it wouldn't have been a surprise to see the Phillies hold him out as a precaution on Saturday, Duran will instead be there if they need him late in the game. The 27-year-old has 20 saves in 22 chances with a 1.86 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP, 56 strikeouts, and 18 walks over 53 1/3 innings this season.

Philadelphia Phillies closer Jhoan Duran (ankle) told Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer that he feels "100%" after taking a comebacker off his right ankle Friday. Duran is walking without a limp, according to Lauber. The hard-throwing right-hander left on a cart after the Washington Nationals' Paul DeJong lined an infield single off him in the Phillies' 6-2 win. X-rays came back negative after the game, and a day later, it appears Duran is out of the woods. That's welcome news for the Phillies and fantasy managers, as Duran has been outstanding in 2025. The trade deadline pickup from the Minnesota Twins has converted 20 of his 22 save opportunities while pitching to a 1.86 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP and 56:18 K:BB in 53 1/3 innings.
