James McArthur Achieves 13th Save Of Season On Monday – MLB News

31 seconds agoKansas City Royals closer James McArthur earned his 13th save of the season in Monday’s 4-1 win over the Marlins. McArthur came in and pitched the top of the ninth inning with a lead of three and put together a 1-2-3 performance with a strikeout. The 27-year-old has earned the closer role for a surprisingly solid Royals team, though his overall numbers haven’t been great. He has four saves to his name this season and has an ERA of 4.70, a WHIP of 1.43 and a strikeout rate of 20.3% in 30 2/3 innings of work. His relative role security offers fantasy value in deeper roto leagues, but his high ratio stats and low strikeout rate limit his overall fantasy upside.—Connelly Doan – RotoBaller
