Alex Vesia a Top Closer Handcuff to Stash?
Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Alex Vesia will have the chance to pick up some save opportunities for the Dodgers with Edwin Diaz (elbow) expected to miss around three months after he had surgery on his right elbow to remove loose bodies. Tanner Scott and Blake Treinen are also among the Dodgers relievers with a chance to close out games; however, Treinen has struggled, posting a 4.50 ERA and now has two blown saves on the season. Scott earned the save on April 23; however, Vesia is two-for-two on save opportunities after closing out two games on April 11 and April 14. Vesia has a 1.93 ERA and 0.86 WHIP in 9 1/3 innings pitched on the season, and although this may be a committee for the time being, Vesia has the opportunity to take over if he can outperform Scott and Treinen, and at the very least, split save opportunities while Diaz is out, making him fantasy relevant in deeper formats.
