Caleb Thielbar tossed a perfect inning with two strikeouts to notch a save in Monday's 3-1 victory over the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
This performance was a breath of fresh air for Thielbar, whose season has been marred by a bloated 6.14 ERA and a 1.77 WHIP. Despite these struggles, his solid 11.0 K/9 and 3.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio hint at underlying skills that could lead to better days ahead. His ability to secure saves in tight games remains a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, especially for those in need of saves. However, his high ERA and WHIP make him a risky play, best suited for deeper leagues or as a speculative add in hopes of a turnaround.
