Hogan Harris Lock in Late-Inning Value for Rising Athletics
Hogan Harris has been highly effective lately, registering a solid 3.21 ERA with nine strikeouts over his last 5.6 innings of work. He currently slots in as the primary closing option for the third-place Athletics, who are holding a 33-35 record in the AL West and riding a two-game win streak. With multiple arms rotating in late-inning situations, his grip on high-leverage roles remains firm.
Under the hood, his 13.27 K/9 on the season showcases elite strikeout upside, yet his 1.99 WHIP represents a major walk risk that could derail his ratios. Our models project a 4.43 ERA and 1.40 WHIP rest-of-season. While some regression is expected, his current form and secure late-inning share make him a reliable source of holds and saves.
Looking ahead, the Athletics finish their weekly schedule with three home matchups against a struggling Colorado team. These matchups are highly favorable, particularly against Colorado's high-ERA starters like Kyle Freeland, which should present ample late-inning opportunities. Harris is a recommended active option for fantasy managers needing holds and strikeout volume. Start.

Brad Lord shines in long relief for Nationals despite recent ankle scare
Brad Lord has been excellent out of the bullpen, posting a pristine 0.00 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 4.2 innings in the last week. Despite suffering a minor right ankle scare on Tuesday, he stayed in the game and remains locked into his role as the primary long-relief option for the third-place Nationals. His durability is vital for a Washington club currently missing several key arms from their starting rotation.
While Lord's remarkable 0.55 ERA over the last 30 days has been a massive boost, our models expect some regression, projecting a 4.40 ERA and 1.35 WHIP over the rest of the season. Still, his current 2.51 ERA on the year represents a major step forward from his 4.48 mark in 2025. Given the team's rotation injuries, his heavy usage in multi-inning relief should continue.
The Nationals finish their week at home with a three-game series against the Mariners, where they will face tough opposing starters like Bryce Miller and Emerson Hancock. Because Lord operates strictly in a multi-inning relief role without consistent save opportunities, his fantasy value is limited to very deep leagues. For most standard formats, he remains a Sit for the upcoming matchups.
