Joel Payamps News
With Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams (back) expected to miss three months due to stress fractures in his back, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Curt Hogg writes that relievers Joel Payamps and Abner Uribe are among the most obvious early candidates to see save chances for the Brewers until Williams is able to return. There isn't anyone with significant closing experience in the bullpen for Milwaukee, but Payamps, Uribe, Hoby Milner, Elvis Peguero, Bryse Wilson and Trevor Megill are all among the key returners from a bullpen that was second in ERA in 2023. Payamps, 29, had a 2.55 ERA with three saves and 28 holds in 70 2/3 innings last year and should be considered a top speculatory closer for fantasy managers late in drafts. Uribe, 23, lights up the radar gun and can whiff batters with the best of them, but his elevated walk rate is a cause for concern.
Milwaukee Brewers relief pitcher Joel Payamps is off to a rough start this spring, giving up six runs (five earned) and two home runs in just 2 2/3 innings of work, but he remains next in line for save opportunities in the team's bullpen. With All-Star closer Devin Williams (back) heading for a second opinion from a spine specialist on his sore back this week, Payamps is a name to watch late in fantasy drafts while Williams' status is unclear. The 29-year-old Dominican right-hander has been a solid high-leverage arm throughout his career, and he most recently delivered a strong 2.55 ERA (3.48 FIP), 1.04 WHIP, and 77:17 K:BB through 70 2/3 frames for the Brew Crew in 2023. After collecting 27 holds a year ago, Payamps may be needed for ninth-inning duties if Williams ends up needing to miss time to begin the campaign and is worth rostering in deep fantasy leagues until the latter is cleared to return.
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.
