William Smith Named Closer, New Saves Favorite For Texas
12 months agoTexas Rangers relief pitcher William Smith will receive the majority of save opportunities going forward, per manager Bruce Bochy on Wednesday. The 33-year-old has officially usurped Jose Leclerc as the reliever to roster in fantasy for those seeking help in the saves category. This doesn't come as much of a surprise, as Smith has already logged four saves as opposed to Leclerc attaining just one. Smith has performed very well to start 2023, registering a strong 1.69 ERA and 0.94 WHIP with 12 strikeouts in 10.2 innings of play. This is the last call to pick up the southpaw in fantasy leagues, as his ownership percentage is likely to shoot up overnight.
