Gregory Soto Pitches in the Ninth Inning Again on Wednesday, in the Mix for Future Save Opportunities?
Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Gregory Soto was on the mound to finish off his team's 8-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday, throwing a scoreless ninth inning while recording two strikeouts and not allowing a base runner. The 31-year-old is off to an excellent start to the season, as he's struck out eight and allowed just one hit across 4 1/3 scoreless innings (four games). While Wednesday's appearance came in a non-save situation, Soto's usage in the ninth inning could indicate that he's in the mix with Pirates right-hander Dennis Santana for saves. Soto has prior closing experience, recording 30 saves for the Detroit Tigers in 2022. If he keeps producing, Soto could be a player worth targeting on the waiver wire for deeper-league fantasy managers.
