Is Enyel De Los Santos Still the Priority Closer Target in Houston Despite Recent Struggles?
Across 11 1/3 innings so far in 2026, Houston Astros reliever Enyel De Los Santos has pitched to a 5.56 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with 10 strikeouts and three saves. With Astros closer Josh Hader (biceps) on the 60-day injured list due to a biceps injury, De Los Santos has been pressed into a more prominent role in the Houston bullpen. The 30-year-old's overall line is inflated by a couple of three-earned-run outings, but he's three-for-three on save chances this season. The Astros also lack a great alternative for De Los Santos, and Hader is not eligible to return from the IL until late May at the earliest. Currently posting just an 11.8% K-BB rate, De Los Santos is far from a prototypical closer. Still, he looks like the arm to target in Houston for fantasy managers in desperate need of saves.
