Ben Brown Stands as Potential Saves Candidate
Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Ben Brown is likely going to be the next man up for saves in Chicago. The Cubs are already without multiple key arms in the bullpen, and likely lost another on Thursday. Southpaw Caleb Thielbar (hamstring) was forced to make an early exit from Thursday's win over the Philadelphia Phillies. The team is calling it left hamstring tightness, so it's unclear if Thielbar will require a trip to the Injured List. Given all the injuries, Brown is likely going to be the next man up, assuming Thielbar misses time. Fantasy managers looking for a source of saves might want to consider adding Brown. The right-hander only has one career save, but certainly has the stuff on the mound to succeed as a closer.
