Detroit Tigers closer Gregory Soto (hand) had a rough outing against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday. He entered the game in the ninth inning while the Tigers were up 4-1 and went on to give up two hits, one walk and three earned runs without recording an out. He was hit in his throwing hand by a comebacker in the inning. He told the team he was fine after the play and initially stayed in the game. He is set to undergo tests on his hand on Saturday. Soto has had a great year as the Tigers' primary closer. He's converted 18-of-19 save opportunities while pitching to a 3.39 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP on the year. If he were to miss time, Michael Fulmer would likely take over closer duties.

Detroit Tigers closer Gregory Soto recorded his 17th save of the year in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Oakland Athletics. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing no hits and no walks while striking out two. The Tigers had a rough stretch over the second half of August, which led to Soto only recording one save from August 15 through August 31. The Tigers are surprisingly just eight games under .500, sitting at 63-71 and Soto is the team's clear closer. He should be rostered in all fantasy leagues as he figures to be a steady source of saves going forward. He has a 3.16 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP on the year with only one blown saves over his 18 opportunities.

Detroit Tigers closer Gregory Soto had his worst outing of the year in Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Soto entered in the ninth inning of a 2-2 game and went on to allow four hits, two walks and six runs (five earned). He only managed to record two outs before he was pulled. Soto surrendered two home runs in the inning, including a grand slam to Jo Adell. Over 51 games and 49 innings on the year, Soto has a 3.67 ERA and a 1.43 WHIP. He's converted 15 of his 16 save opportunities and is the Tigers' clear closer at this point, making him worth rostering in just about all leagues. Look for him to shake this one off and get back on track in his next outing.

Detroit Tigers closer Gregory Soto shut the door on the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday to earn his 14th save of the year. He pitched a scoreless ninth inning, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two. Soto already has three saves this month. He has converted seven consecutive save opportunities and has just one blown save on the year to go along with a 2.85 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP. He should be universally rostered as the clear closer on a Tigers team that's gone 6-3 so far in August.

Detroit Tigers closer Gregory Soto closed out the team's 2-1 win over the Cleveland Indians on Saturday to earn his 13th save of the year. It was a bumpy ninth inning for Soto. He gave up two hits and an earned run before closing the door. He also recorded two strikeouts. Soto is the team's clear closer right now. Michael Fulmer and Jose Cisnero are next in line on the team, but they are both working in setup roles right now. Soto has recorded six saves since the All-Star break and he has a 2.96 ERA and 1.36 WHIP on the year.
