Andrés Muñoz News
Seattle Mariners reliever Andres Munoz allowed a run on one hit while striking out two to earn the save during Saturday's 4-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles. Munoz entered the ninth inning to protect a two-run lead. He allowed a solo home run to Gunnar Henderson but was able to shake it off and strike out Adley Rutschman to end the game. The homer to Henderson was Munoz's first earned run over his last 11 innings. He owns a 1.86 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and a 26:7 K: BB across 19 1/3 innings in 2024. Munoz is one of the relief pitchers in baseball, and fantasy managers should continue to roll with him in all league formats.
Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz earned his sixth save of the season in Monday's 6-2 win over the Royals. Munoz entered the game in the top of the eighth inning up by two with two outs and a runner on second. He ended the inning with a strikeout and stayed on to pitch the ninth, delivering a 1-2-3 inning with two more strikeouts. The save count hasn't been as high as fantasy managers were hoping for, but the 25-year-old has pitched very well, converting all but one save opportunity with a 1.62 ERA, an 11.34 K/9 rate, and a 3.78 BB/9 rate in 16 2/3 innings of work.
Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz recorded his fifth save of the season versus the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday evening. Munoz was summoned to get the final five outs of the ballgame and he did so with three strikeouts. He also allowed a hit and a walk. Munoz has a fantastic swing-and-miss arsenal and now has a 2.25 ERA to go along with 12 K/9. If there has been one blemish for Munoz, it has been that he has walked seven batters in 12 innings of work, but his ability to rack up strikeouts has helped him get out of any jams. He should be rostered in all formats moving as one of the better closers in the league.

Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz entered 2023 with a ton of hype as a Statcast darling and one of fantasy's top sleepers among relief pitchers. But a right deltoid strain in early April would dump cold water all over the 25-year-old's breakout prospects, costing him two months of action and letting Paul Sewald run away with Seattle's closing job. With Sewald out of the picture via trade during the second half, however, Munoz began racking up some saves later in the year after the Mariners made him work out of the seventh and eighth innings quite a bit to perhaps groom him for the role. Collecting the bulk of his saves (12) in 30 appearances from July 26 to Sep. 30, Munoz totaled a 2.94 ERA (2.70 FIP) and 67:22 K:BB over 40 innings in 2023. There's not much Munoz did wrong last year, according to Statcast, with a 10.4% walk rate signifying his most glaring flaw. After the M's made no notable additions to augment their bullpen this offseason, the flame-throwing right-hander has a clearer path to seizing the ninth-inning mantle for 2024. With an affordable fantasy ADP and some of the best swing-and-miss stuff in the entire game (39.4% whiff rate), Munoz deserves to be a popular choice once again as a top-12 option among relievers for any rosters searching for saves in the early-double-digit rounds, but he'll need to overcome former top prospect Matt Brash for the lion's share of the save opportunities.
