Despite securing the save, Neris's performance was less than stellar, allowing multiple baserunners and narrowly maintaining the lead. His season-long metrics, including a bloated 1.69 WHIP and a concerning 5.41 FIP, suggest that his save opportunities could be in jeopardy if this trend continues. Fantasy managers should be wary; while he's accumulating saves, his underlying numbers indicate potential volatility ahead, making him a risky play in all but the deepest of leagues.
