Jeff Hoffman Earns Extra-Inning Save Monday
Jeff Hoffman picked up his 16th save of the season in Monday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Cardinals. Hoffman came in to pitch the bottom of the 10th inning up by one with an automatic runner on second. He shut the door with a 1-2-3 performance, including a strikeout. The 32-year-old has been erratic overall in his first season with the Blue Jays, converting 16 of 19 save opportunities with a 5.46 ERA, a 1.08 WHIP, and a 13.04 K/9 rate in 29 2/3 innings of work. The good news for fantasy managers is that Hoffman appears to have the confidence of the Blue Jays coaching staff and his underlying metrics look strong overall, so he should continue to see opportunities to provide fantasy value.
