Paul Sewald Remains a Priority Saves Target on the Waiver Wire
Across 29 innings (32 games) in 2026, Arizona Diamondbacks closer Paul Sewald has recorded a 2-4 record with a 4.03 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 33 strikeouts, and 18 saves. With an average fastball velocity of 91.3 miles per hour, Sewald no longer profiles as a prototypical high-end closer. However, he's struck out 29.2% of the batters he's faced so far this season while posting just a 7.1% walk rate. Sewald's ERA has been inflated by a few blowup outings and his 63.2% strand rate, which is well below his career mark fo 71%. The 36-year-old looks to be firmly entrenched in the ninth-inning role in Arizona and should be considered a priority target on the waiver wire for fantasy managers in need of saves.
