Cole Sulser finds high-leverage rhythm as a versatile weapon for the first-place Rays
Sulser has been sharp recently, posting a 1.27 ERA and a microscopic 0.56 WHIP over his last 7.1 innings for the first-place Rays, who currently sit at 48-33 and are riding a five-game win streak. He has stepped into high-leverage situations, securing two saves and five holds over the last fortnight while also serving as an occasional opener in bullpen games. As the primary relief option on the depth chart, he remains a vital piece of a staff currently dealing with several injuries to the starting rotation.
While the recent results are encouraging, his 5.50 ERA and 1.64 WHIP on the season suggest that some regression to the mean is possible. His last 30 days included a difficult stretch with a 9.43 ERA, though an elite 15.43 K/9 in that span shows his swing-and-miss stuff remains intact. Our models expect the 36-year-old to stabilize closer to his 4.06 projected ERA, making him a viable source of strikeouts and holds if he maintains his current command.
The Rays have a six-game road trip this week, starting with three games against the Royals followed by a weekend set in Houston. Sulser is likely to see high-leverage work against a Kansas City staff featuring Noah Cameron and his 4.50 ERA, providing chances for holds or vulture wins. Given his recent dominance and clear trust from the coaching staff in critical situations, he is a productive addition for managers in leagues that value holds. Start.
