Seranthony Domínguez Fantasy Stats

The Toronto Blue Jays traded away right-handed pitching prospect Juaron Watts-Brown in exchange for right-handed reliever Seranthony Dominguez from the Baltimore Orioles, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. The 2023 third-round pick out of Oklahoma State has split time between High-A and Double-A with Toronto this season, totaling 89 innings with a 3.54 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, and a 20.4% K-BB%. The 23-year-old has operated solely as a starter and has strong grades on his slider and curveball. The command will be what determines his future role as a starter or reliever, but it's a solid foundation with two plus breaking balls despite a below-average fastball. While there are differences, the Orioles found success with a similar archetype of pitcher in Kyle Bradish, who is known for his wicked breaking balls. Watts-Brown has posted gaudy swinging strike rates since debuting in 2024, and already ranks as the number eight prospect in the Orioles system by MLB Pipeline.

The Toronto Blue Jays are acquiring right-handed reliever Seranthony Dominguez from the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday in exchange for right-handed pitching prospect Juaron Watts-Brown, a source tells ESPN's Jeff Passan. Even with closer Felix Bautista (shoulder) on the injured list, the disappointing Orioles have firmly become sellers at the trade deadline and have traded away both Dominguez and lefty Gregory Soto, who were both in line for saves with Bautista on the shelf. Until Bautista returns, the O's will now be forced to go with some combination of Yennier Cano and Andrew Kittredge in save situations. Dominguez, meanwhile, will lose most of his short-term fantasy appeal for those scrounging for saves with the move to Toronto. The 30-year-old veteran should settle into a late-inning setup role in front of closer Jeff Hoffman.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez (back) has been unavailable to pitch for the past two days due to a sore back. Jake Rill of MLB.com noted that Dominguez suffered this minor injury because he "slept funny." Dominguez made his last appearance on June 30 when he tossed 1 2/3 innings of one-run ball (unearned run) with three strikeouts. Since June 1, Dominguez has been one of the most dominant relief pitchers in baseball, having not allowed an earned run while maintaining a 0.92 WHIP through 13 innings of work. In total, Dominguez has posted a 3.15 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP across 34 1/3 innings. He has struck out 45 hitters while allowing walks at an eight 14.4% rate. While Dominguez remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Felix Bautista to remain the top closer while Gregory Soto, Yennier Cano, and Bryan Baker see other high-leverage options.

Baltimore Orioles closer Seranthony Dominguez shut the door on the Astros in a 7-5 victory over Houston on Friday, earning his fifth save of the season. Dominguez had struggled recently after being crowned the closer, allowing home runs in three consecutive appearances, but was handed the ball in the ninth inning on Friday while former closer Craig Kimbrel pitched the eighth. It is a welcome sign for those fantasy managers who stuck with Dominguez, however, he also did not strike out a batter in the frame. The 29-year-old had recorded at least one strikeout in 13 straight appearances before Friday's outing. Nevertheless, closing games for an Orioles team that should continue to win a lot of games is a recipe for a valuable fantasy closer, and he should remain rostered until we see otherwise.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Seranthony Dominguez got the final three outs of a 4-1 win over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday to earn a save. Dominguez did not allow a run while striking out one and walking one on 19 pitches in the frame. The veteran closer now has three saves in four chances this season, to go along with a 4.00 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 50 strikeouts in 45 innings of work split between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Orioles. Dominguez getting the save chance (his second in five days) is notable as regular closer Craig Kimbrel has struggled recently. This situation is worth monitoring moving forward, although Dominguez should have some fantasy value regardless of whether he's getting save chances.

Philadelphia Phillies reliever Seranthony Dominguez earned his first save of the season in Friday's 5-3 victory over the Orioles. Dominguez picked this one up in the 11th inning after usual closers Jose Alvarado and Jeff Hoffman had already been used. After starting the season with a 7.71 ERA and 1.64 WHIP over his first 16 appearances, Friday's outing marked the righty's 10th straight scoreless appearance in which he's posted a 0.00 ERA, 0.52 WHIP, and a 2:7 BB:K. Dominguez has been good of late, but don't count on too many more save chances unless something were to happen to Alvarado and Hoffman.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez earned his second save of the week and year as he protected a two-run lead in the ninth frame versus the Miami Marlins Thursday. The 28-year-old was one of just two relievers that were not used in Wednesday's 9-8 extra-inning loss to Miami. Dominguez, this season has a record of 2-2 and a 4.45 ERA in 36 appearances. In 30/1 innings pitched, the right-hander has struck out 32 opposing team batters.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez earned his first save of the season in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Marlins. Dominguez came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by two and turned in a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout to end the game. Closer Craig Kimbrel had pitched in each of the last two games, so Dominguez got the call to close this one out. The 26-year-old has pitched just 29 1/3 innings this season due to injury and has posted a lackluster 4.60 ERA with five blown saves. His fantasy value is very limited now that Kimbrel has clearly taken over the closer's role for the Phillies.

The Philadelphia Phillies reinstated relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez (oblique) from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned right-hander Andrew Bellatti to Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. Dominguez will return to a setup role in front of closer Craig Kimbrel in Philadelphia's bullpen after missing around five weeks with a left-oblique strain. As such, the 28-year-old Dominican right-hander will be an option once again in leagues that reward points for holds. Before landing on the injured list, Dominguez had a 4.33 ERA (4.32 FIP), 1.56 WHIP, 11 walks and 28 strikeouts in 27 relief innings. If anything were to happen to Kimbrel, Dominguez would be in the mix for saves in Philly.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez (oblique) is set to rejoin the team on Tuesday. The right-hander has missed the last five weeks of action due to an oblique strain. His return will give the Phillies bullpen a significant boost that it desperately needs. Dominguez holds a 4.33 ERA and 1.56 WHIP with 28 strikeouts across 27 innings this season. He's expected to resume his role as a late-inning option in Philly this week.
