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 Caleb Kilian
Caleb Kilian stabilizes in the Giants' closer role, offering saves upside despite ratio volatility
Caleb Kilian has secured the closer role for the fourth-place Giants (28-41), stepping up with several bullpen mates currently on the injured list. Over the last seven days, he has rebounded with 3.0 scoreless innings and three strikeouts. This clean stretch is a welcome relief after a rocky prior fortnight where his ERA ballooned to 10.23.
His 3.85 ERA over 25.7 innings this year is much more representative than his recent slide, aligning closely with our season projection of a 4.13 ERA. An impressive 11.21 K/9 suggests his late-inning success is sustainable, even if his control remains slightly volatile. With the Giants' bullpen depleted, Kilian's hold on high-leverage duties is safe.
The Giants finish the week with a three-game home stand against the Cubs starting June 12. Though tight matchups against Ben Brown could limit San Francisco's offense, close contests will maximize Kilian's save potential. Our model projects him to chip in another save and three strikeouts this weekend. Verdict: Start.
