In the ever-changing closer’s climate, freshly appointed closers tend to be grabbed quickly off the waiver wire. However, Texas Rangers closer Sam Dyson is still available in enough leagues to make him worth a mention here, particularly in light of how well he’s done so far this year.
He blew a save chance in April, but since officially relieving Shawn Tolleson of the closer role earlier this month, Dyson has gone 5-for-5 in save opportunities. Since earning his first save of the year on May 11, the righty has given up just two runs on three hits in eight innings while keeping hitters to a minuscule .115 average.
Overall, Dyson sports a 2.25 ERA in 24 innings. The Rangers have generated the fourth-most save chances in baseball with 23, so he should stay busy moving forward. If you need a source of saves, Dyson should be on your radar.
