Gregory Soto Remains a Must-Add Closer on the Waiver Wire
Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Gregory Soto has taken hold of his team's closer role. Across 31 1/3 innings (32 games) in 2026, the 31-year-old has pitched to a 3.16 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 37 strikeouts, and 11 saves. Soto has run into a bit of a rough patch in June, allowing five earned runs across 3 2/3 innings (five games) this month. However, the veteran has still recorded saves in five out of his last six appearances and does not appear to be in danger of being removed from the ninth inning in Pittsburgh. Soto's underlying metrics support his strong performance so far this season, as he's averaging 97.2 miles per hour on his fastball and has recorded a 29.6% strikeout rate. Given his role in the Pirates bullpen and his production to this point, Soto is a must-add reliever in all fantasy leagues where he's not already rostered.
