Seranthony Dominguez Falling Out of Closer Job?
Chicago White Sox closer Seranthony Dominguez took the loss on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays and got tagged with his second blown save of the season. Domínguez has now converted three of his five save opportunities. In Thursday's outing, Domínguez entered the contest with a 3-2 lead, allowing three earned runs on two hits and one walk in 1/3 of an inning pitched. Domínguez's other blown save came earlier in the season against Milwaukee and was also a blow-up type of outing, where he allowed two earned runs on one walk and two hits. He now has a 7.50 ERA and 1.83 WHIP through seven appearances. All five of his earned runs allowed came in the two blown save opportunities. The White Sox do not have much competition for bullpen arms to dethrone Domínguez as closer just yet; however, he is running on thin ice and could be in jeopardy of losing the role if he doesn't provide more consistency moving forward. Fantasy managers who drafted Domínguez as their back-end closer may want to begin to think of potential contingency plans on the off chance the White Sox do decide to try someone else out.
