Emilio Pagan | Fantasy Outlook

Emilio Pagán reclaims closing duties with improved health and velocity

Pagán has looked sharp since returning from a severe hamstring strain that sidelined him for nearly two months, recently showing increased velocity in his first few appearances back. He has immediately resumed his role as the primary closer for the fifth-place Reds, who currently sit at 43-52 in the NL Central standings. Despite being carted off earlier this season, he remains the vocal leader of a bullpen that has dealt with significant injuries to arms like Tony Santillan.

While his current 6.43 ERA is jarring, it is heavily skewed by a small sample size and pre-injury performance; our projections anticipate a major correction toward a 3.82 ERA and 1.15 WHIP the rest of the way. His career track record, including a 32-save campaign in 2025, aligns with our expectation that he will remain a top-tier saves source for fantasy managers. His strikeout stuff remains elite, as evidenced by a projected K-rate near 11.0 per nine innings.

Cincinnati heads to the hitter-friendly confines of Colorado for a three-game weekend set to close out the week. While Coors Field presents ratio risks for any pitcher, Pagán’s high-leverage role makes him a mandatory play for those hunting saves against a Rockies squad sitting at the bottom of the NL West. With Hunter Greene expected to rejoin the rotation this weekend, the Reds should find themselves in several close-game scenarios. Start.
