Kendall Graveman News
Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Kendall Graveman was able to escape during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. First baseman Jose Abreu made two errors, which hurt, but luckily the White Sox had a three-run lead. Graveman was able to escape with his third save of the season. This was his first save since Liam Hendriks (forearm) went on the injured list. Fantasy managers should be able to trust Graveman in the closer role while Hendriks is sidelined.
Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Joe Kelly isn't available to pitch on back-to-back days yet, so reliever Kendall Graveman will serve as the team's closer on Wednesday against the Detroit Tigers if a save situation arises. Liam Hendriks (forearm) went on the injured list on Tuesday and Kelly returned from the IL to strike out two over a scoreless inning of work. Prior to going unused on Tuesday, Graveman had appeared in three of the last four days. Kelly could get some save chances here and there with Hendriks out, so this looks like a committee approach between Graveman and Kelly for the time being. Graveman, who has 12 saves in his career, has a 2.51 ERA and 1.33 WHIP with two saves and 27 strikeouts in 28 2/3 innings pitched this year.
Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Kendall Graveman closed out the team's 4-1 victory over the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday to earn his second save of the year. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning, but he did allow one hit and a walk before putting a cap on the night. The team's primary closer, Liam Hendriks, had pitched in three of the team's previous four games, so the Sox likely wanted to give him the day off on Tuesday. Graveman is now 2-for-3 in save opportunities on the year and he has a 1.76 ERA and 1.17 WHIP. He'd likely be the next man up for saves in Chicago if Hendriks were forced to miss time.

In his first season with the Chicago White Sox in 2022, reliever Kendall Graveman had a respectable 3.18 ERA (3.42 FIP), 1.40 WHIP, six saves and 66 strikeouts in 65 relief innings. The 32-year-old right-hander wasn't quite as good as he was the year before in Seattle and Houston, but he was still extremely valuable for the White Sox and in holds leagues with an American League-leading 27 of them. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to be as dominant as he was in 2021, and injuries have been a concern of his in the last four seasons. Closer Liam Hendriks' cancer diagnosis will likely push Graveman into the primary closer position in Chicago, though, so he will have some fantasy appeal in deeper leagues for what will likely be an uptick in save opportunities in addition to holds.
