Joe Mantiply Stats

Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Joe Mantiply tossed a scoreless inning to earn the save during Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Miami Marlins. In the ninth inning, he entered the game to protect a one-run lead and threw a scoreless frame to notch his second save. The 31-year-old has been terrific out of the bullpen in 2022, owning a 0.80 WHIP and striking out four over 10 scoreless innings. Arizona's primary closer Mark Melancon (illness), is on the injured list, and Ian Kennedy got the save chance for Monday's 5-4 win over the Marlins. The Diamondbacks turned to Mantiply for Tuesday's save opportunity. Melancon is expected to return soon to retain his closer role, but Kennedy and Mantiply can be added in deep-league formats for fantasy managers searching for saves.

Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Joe Mantiply picked up his first career save on Saturday, pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning to close out the team's 5-2 win over the Mets. With closer Mark Melancon working the previous two nights, it was the left-hander who got the call to seal the victory as he recorded a strikeout and a pair of ground outs in the 12-pitch frame. Mantiply has been sharp this season over 6 2/3 innings of scoreless work despite not having a prototypical overpowering arm with just three strikeouts to date. Melancon remains the top closing option in Arizona, so Mantiply can just be a name to stash away in case something were to happen to the 37-year-old veteran.
