Draft season is upon us, and we'll be releasing updated rankings constantly! In this article below, you'll find our MLB team's updated 2023 fantasy baseball closers and relief pitcher rankings for roto leagues and tiers for 5x5 mixed roto leagues as of March 17.

We're here to ensure you crush your drafts, win your leagues, and earn those bragging rights.

More teams are shying away from using a traditional closer, making it tough for fantasy managers to accumulate the category saves. Teams either use a closer-by-committee or their top reliever in high-leverage situations. The Rays, for example, logged 44 saves between 11 pitchers, with Jason Adam and Pete Fairbanks tying for a team-high eight saves in 2022. Cleveland Guardians right-hander Emmanuel Clase and Boston Red Sox right-hander Kenley Jansen were the only two relievers to notch over 40 saves last season. New York Mets reliever Edwin Diaz (knee) will undergo surgery on Thursday to fix a right patellar tendon injury and is out for the season, while Atlanta Braves reliever Raisel Iglesias (shoulder) will start the season on the injured list with low-grade right shoulder inflammation, making the closer position even more volatile. A few solidified options remain, but the list gets pretty dicey once the top 10 relievers are off the board. We're here to help sort it out with our 2023 fantasy baseball rankings. Let's see where key relievers like Devin Williams, Clay Holmes, Andres Munoz, Alex Lange, David Robertson, and Jose Leclerc rank, among others.
