Joel Payamps Stats

Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Joel Payamps threw a clean ninth inning with one strikeout to net his second save of the season in Saturday's 11-8 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. After the Brewers bullpen sputtered and nearly squandered a wonderful Corbin Burnes starting effort, Payamps was summoned to extinguish the fire and did just that. Devin Williams was not called upon for this one after working four of the prior seven days, last pitching on Thursday against the New York Mets for 26 high-pressure pitches. It should be relieving for Milwaukee to see another arm step up in an occasion where their All-Star closer seemed to be unavailable. The 25-year-old Payamps features a 2.11 ERA and 1.04 WHIP with 42 punchouts over 38 1/3 innings this year.

Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Joel Payamps notched his first save of the season on Thursday when his club defeated the San Diego Padres 4-3 in 10 innings. He went one inning, allowing a hit and striking out one batter. The Brewers were without Devin Williams, who pitched the ninth inning, and Matt Bush, who blew a lead in the eighth inning. Payamps now owns a 3.38 ERA, 20.0% strikeout rate and 1.69 WHIP over 5.1 innings. Fantasy managers shouldn't count on the 29-year-old factoring much into save situations moving forward, as he probably isn't even the third option for manager Craig Counsell.

Oakland Athletics outfielder Skye Bolt (knee) suffered a right knee contusion after being hit by a pitch in the seventh inning on Thursday against the New York Yankees, according to manager Mark Kotsay. Bolt said X-rays came back negative, but he was still walking gingerly after the game. Reliever Joel Payamps (calf) suffered a left calf contusion. Bolt was 0-for-2 with a run scored in the game, while Payamps had to be helped off the field after being hit by a comebacker. It was only his second appearance for the A's after being claimed off waivers from the Kansas City Royals last week. Payamps' injury appears more serious than Bolt's, but fantasy managers should consider them both day-to-day for now.
