Louis Varland Earns Seventh Save, Remains a Must-Start Reliever
Toronto Blue Jays reliever Louis Varland notched his seventh save of the season after striking out three over two scoreless innings in Friday's 6-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. With runners on first and second base, Varland entered the game in the eighth inning and was able to escape the jam. He retired all six batters he faced en route to his seventh save. The 28-year-old has been excellent this season, posting a 0.65 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 40:9 K:BB, and is 7-for-7 in save opportunities. The 28-year-old is the primary closer for the Blue Jays and is emerging as a must-start reliever in all leagues. Varland is currently rostered in 69% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues, but expect that number to rise as he continues to be one of the more reliable relievers in fantasy baseball so far.
