Chicago Cubs pitcher Rowan Wick tossed a perfect inning to earn the save during Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Washington Nationals. He entered the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead.

Fri Aug 12 202200:35Rowan Wick Records Seventh Save
Chicago Cubs reliever Rowan Wick converted his seventh save of the season on Thursday as his club topped the Reds 4-2 in the Field Of Dreams Game from Dyersville. The right-hander picked up two strikeouts in the clean frame, throwing 12 of his 19 pitches as he continues to receive the save opportunities for the Cubs since David Robertson's departure. He's now strung together 11-straight scoreless outings to lower his ERA to 3.94 with 50 K through 48 IP, which isn't overwhelming, but the fact that he's closing gives him more than enough fantasy appeal.

Tue Aug 9 202200:55Rowan Wick Notches Fifth Save Of Season Monday
Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Rowan Wick picked up his fifth save of the season in Monday's 6-3 win over the Nationals. Wick came in to pitch the ninth inning up by three. He allowed a leadoff single, but then got a strikeout and a strikeout-caught stealing double play to end the game. This was the Cubs' first save opportunity since moving a number of bullpen arms at the trade deadline, so it looks like Wick will get the first shot to fill the void. The 29-year-old has now converted five of seven save opportunities with a 4.14 ERA, 9.07 K/9 rate, and 4.14 BB/9 rate. These numbers aren't great, but Wick is now worth a look in deeper roto leagues for fantasy managers chasing saves.
