Athletics Turn to Hogan Harris for Another Save, Is He the Closer to Roster?
Athletics left-hander Hogan Harris picked up his sixth save of 2026 on Friday, striking out two across 1 1/3 scoreless innings in his team's 6-4 win over the Colorado Rockies. Across 33 2/3 innings (36 games) on the year, Harris has pitched to a 2.67 ERA and 1.49 WHIP with 39 strikeouts, six saves, and 10 holds. The Athletics have opted for a committee approach in the closer role for most of 2026, but Harris may be settling in as the team's preferred option. He's worked in the ninth inning in five out of his last six appearances, notching two saves and a blown save in that span. The 30-year-old owns a worrisome 15.2% walk rate and an unimpressive 10.6% K-BB rate, so fantasy managers may not want to rely on Harris for high-end closer production. Still, Harris looks like the favorite for saves in the Athletics bullpen and could be worth targeting on the waiver wire in leagues where he remains available.
