Emilio Pagan Feels "Good" After Tweaking his Hamstring
Cincinnati Reds closer Emilio Pagan (hamstring) said he felt his hamstring get a little tight on Tuesday night, but he never felt it pop, according to Charlie Goldsmith of FOX 19. Pagan is pain-free, received treatment on Wednesday morning, and played catch fine. "Looking like we dodged a bullet," Pagan said. "Playing catch, I felt pretty good. My delivery didn't change." The Reds' coaching staff will discuss whether Pagan will be available for Wednesday's game against the San Francisco Giants. For now, fantasy managers should consider Pagan to be day-to-day. The 34-year-old veteran has five saves in his first nine relief outings in 2026, but he's also allowed five earned runs on six hits (two homers) while walking six and striking out nine in 9 1/3 innings of work. Fantasy managers desperate for saves might want to think about a speculative pickup of right-hander Tony Santillan, who is likely the next up for saves in Cincy if Pagan's condition worsens.
