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.

Outlook Tim Herrin
Tim Herrin's solid recent ratios offer deep-league holds value despite Cleveland's current skid.
The second-place Guardians (37-33) are currently riding a four-game losing streak, but left-hander Tim Herrin remains a key high-leverage arm. Over his last three appearances (3.1 innings), Herrin has excelled with a 2.90 ERA and a stellar 0.65 WHIP. With star closer Emmanuel Clase out indefinitely and fellow reliever Erik Sabrowski on the injured list, Herrin has stepped up as a primary setup option in the Cleveland bullpen.
Under the hood, Herrin's recent surge contrasts with some worrying baseline numbers, specifically his 1.79 WHIP and 15 walks over 18.4 innings this year. Our models project him to settle in with a more sustainable 3.81 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP over 52.0 innings of work. While his strikeout rate remains healthy, his underlying control issues suggest some ratio regression could be on the horizon.
Cleveland finishes out the week with a three-game home series against Detroit. While Herrin should see plenty of high-leverage volume if the Guardians bounce back, his lack of save opportunities and ratio risk limit his utility to deep leagues that reward holds. In standard mixed formats, he should remain on the bench. Verdict: Sit.
