Clayton Beeter Tallies Another Save for Nationals, Emerging as Priority Waiver Wire Pick Up?
The Washington Nationals' carousel of closers continues, with right-hander Clayton Beeter recording the most recent two saves during the Nationals' three-game series against the Padres over the weekend. Beeter recorded the save on both Saturday and Sunday, working 2 1/3 innings, allowing one hit, and two walks with two strikeouts over the two outings. On the season, Beeter now owns a 2.30 ERA and 1.21 WHIP with 15 strikeouts in 15 2/3 innings pitched. He has converted on four of his six save opportunities on the season and is holding batters to a .135 batting average against. Considering Beeter got two opportunities in a row and is now tied for the team's lead in saves and save opportunities, he should be considered as a top closer fantasy option off the waiver wire in deeper formats where saves are difficult to come by. With the current state of closing pitching in MLB, Beeter's value is on the rise and is worth considering if you are struggling for saves.
