Baltimore Orioles closer Seranthony Dominguez shut the door on the Astros in a 7-5 victory over Houston on Friday, earning his fifth save of the season. Dominguez had struggled recently after being crowned the closer, allowing home runs in three consecutive appearances, but was handed the ball in the ninth inning on Friday while former closer Craig Kimbrel pitched the eighth. It is a welcome sign for those fantasy managers who stuck with Dominguez, however, he also did not strike out a batter in the frame. The 29-year-old had recorded at least one strikeout in 13 straight appearances before Friday's outing. Nevertheless, closing games for an Orioles team that should continue to win a lot of games is a recipe for a valuable fantasy closer, and he should remain rostered until we see otherwise.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Seranthony Dominguez got the final three outs of a 4-1 win over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday to earn a save. Dominguez did not allow a run while striking out one and walking one on 19 pitches in the frame. The veteran closer now has three saves in four chances this season, to go along with a 4.00 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 50 strikeouts in 45 innings of work split between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Orioles. Dominguez getting the save chance (his second in five days) is notable as regular closer Craig Kimbrel has struggled recently. This situation is worth monitoring moving forward, although Dominguez should have some fantasy value regardless of whether he's getting save chances.

Philadelphia Phillies reliever Seranthony Dominguez earned his first save of the season in Friday's 5-3 victory over the Orioles. Dominguez picked this one up in the 11th inning after usual closers Jose Alvarado and Jeff Hoffman had already been used. After starting the season with a 7.71 ERA and 1.64 WHIP over his first 16 appearances, Friday's outing marked the righty's 10th straight scoreless appearance in which he's posted a 0.00 ERA, 0.52 WHIP, and a 2:7 BB:K. Dominguez has been good of late, but don't count on too many more save chances unless something were to happen to Alvarado and Hoffman.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez earned his second save of the week and year as he protected a two-run lead in the ninth frame versus the Miami Marlins Thursday. The 28-year-old was one of just two relievers that were not used in Wednesday's 9-8 extra-inning loss to Miami. Dominguez, this season has a record of 2-2 and a 4.45 ERA in 36 appearances. In 30/1 innings pitched, the right-hander has struck out 32 opposing team batters.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez earned his first save of the season in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Marlins. Dominguez came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by two and turned in a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout to end the game. Closer Craig Kimbrel had pitched in each of the last two games, so Dominguez got the call to close this one out. The 26-year-old has pitched just 29 1/3 innings this season due to injury and has posted a lackluster 4.60 ERA with five blown saves. His fantasy value is very limited now that Kimbrel has clearly taken over the closer's role for the Phillies.

The Philadelphia Phillies reinstated relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez (oblique) from the 15-day injured list on Tuesday and optioned right-hander Andrew Bellatti to Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. Dominguez will return to a setup role in front of closer Craig Kimbrel in Philadelphia's bullpen after missing around five weeks with a left-oblique strain. As such, the 28-year-old Dominican right-hander will be an option once again in leagues that reward points for holds. Before landing on the injured list, Dominguez had a 4.33 ERA (4.32 FIP), 1.56 WHIP, 11 walks and 28 strikeouts in 27 relief innings. If anything were to happen to Kimbrel, Dominguez would be in the mix for saves in Philly.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez (oblique) is set to rejoin the team on Tuesday. The right-hander has missed the last five weeks of action due to an oblique strain. His return will give the Phillies bullpen a significant boost that it desperately needs. Dominguez holds a 4.33 ERA and 1.56 WHIP with 28 strikeouts across 27 innings this season. He's expected to resume his role as a late-inning option in Philly this week.

Philadelphia Phillies reliever Seranthony Dominguez (oblique) threw live batting practice on Monday and could begin a rehab assignment this weekend, according to MLB.com. The right-hander has been on the shelf since the middle of June after straining his left oblique. Across 27 innings this year, Dominguez owns a 4.33 ERA and 1.56 WHIP with 28 strikeouts and 11 walks. After saving nine games in 2022, he has zero this season, and it'll likely be the same story when he returns, probably by the end of the month. Dominguez has earned 10 holds, though, and should be a factor late in games moving forward.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez (oblique) was able to pitch to hitters prior to Friday's game. The right-hander has been sidelined since the middle of June due to an oblique strain. The organization is hopeful that Dominguez can return before the end of July. He's currently headed in the right direction, but it's uncertain if he'll need a rehab assignment before rejoining the team. He holds a 4.33 ERA, 1.56 WHIP with 28/11 K/BB ratio across 27 innings this season.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez (oblique) played catch on Sunday for the first time in nine days, per beat writer Matt Gelb. It sounds like the 28-year-old is starting his progression but he still has a ways to go before he can make it back to the Phillies. He was placed on the 15-day injured list back on June 17 so he has a shot to make it back before the All-Star break. Dominguez mostly struggled this season, putting up a 4.33 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, and 28:11 K/BB ratio over 27 innings (32 appearances).

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez had a rough outing Sunday, blowing the save and taking the loss in his first save opportunity of the season. Dominguez entered the game with a 4-3 lead, but promptly allowed two hits and two walks to let the game slip away. This is Dominguez's second rough outing of the year already, and he now holds a dismal 15.75 ERA and 2.75 WHIP. Fortunately for him, he is currently battling with Craig Kimbrel, who also allowed a run today and holds a 13.50 ERA and 3.00 WHIP. It ain't looking good in the Phils bullpen right now.

The Philadelphia Phillies and relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez avoided salary arbitration on Thursday by agreeing to a two-year deal worth $7 million. Dominguez will make $2.5 million this year and $4.5 million in 2024, and the deal includes an $8 million option for 2025 with a $500,000 buyout. The deal buys out Dominguez's final two years of arbitration. The 28-year-old right-hander was great for the Phillies in a high-leverage role in 2022, posting a 3.00 ERA (3.09 FIP), 1.14 WHIP, nine saves and 61 strikeouts in 51 relief innings. He should once again be in the mix for saves and plenty of holds, but the Phils have also revamped their bullpen, which now includes closers Craig Kimbrel and Gregory Soto.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Seranthony Dominguez (triceps) will start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday. He was cleared to face live hitters last week and will throw an inning in Thursday's rehab appearance. The 27-year-old will appear in a few rehab appearances before rejoining the team in mid-September. He has been sidelined with triceps tendinitis since August 17. Dominguez has been excellent for the Phillies in 2022, converting 9-of-10 saves with a 1.64 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and a 54:14 K: BB across 44 innings 2022. Fantasy managers should continue to stash the right-hander in all league formats.

The Philadelphia Phillies placed right-handed reliever Seranthony Dominguez (triceps) on the 15-day injured list on Sunday with triceps soreness. Dominguez was unavailable to pitch on Saturday after experiencing soreness earlier in the day, and he'll now be forced to miss at least the next 15 days. The 27-year-old is having a great year in the Phillies bullpen, going 6-4 with a 1.64 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, nine saves and 54 strikeouts in 44 innings pitched. He should be stashed in most fantasy formats while he's out. With Dominguez sidelined, David Robertson becomes more valuable in fantasy and should be the team's primary closer.

Philadelphia Phillies reliever Seranthony Dominguez is dealing with some triceps soreness after experiencing pain prior to Saturday's doubleheader versus the Mets. The flame-throwing righty will undergo an MRI tomorrow as fantasy managers hold their breath for some good news. Dominguez has stepped up nicely as the Phillies closer with nine saves in 10 chances while sporting a terrific 1.64 ERA and 0.91 WHIP through 44 IP. If the 27-year-old were to miss time, David Robertson would likely step into the primary ninth inning role.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez picked up his seventh save of the season in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Marlins. Dominguez came in to pitch the ninth inning up by three. The leadoff hitter reached on an error, but Dominguez then got a groundball double play and got the final out on a strikeout. The 27-year-old has seen save opportunities for the Phillies at times this season and has pitched well, converting all but one with a 1.56 ERA. However, the Phillies also recently traded for David Robertson, who pitched the eighth inning of this game but should also see save opportunities down the stretch. The lack of certainty may be frustrating for fantasy managers, but both are worth rostering in roto leagues at this time.

Philadelphia Phillies reliever Seranthony Dominguez picked up the save on Thursday after pitching two-thirds of an inning in the ninth. The right-hander is having an impressive season, posting a 1.72 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 31.4% strikeout rate. The save was the sixth for Dominguez, all coming after June 17, making him the presumable closer. He should be rostered in every league and could finish the year as the club's closer if they don't upgrade at the trade deadline.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Seranthony Dominguez was asked to shut the door versus the Miami Marlins on Friday. The right-hander certainly made it difficult by walking three straight batters. However, Dominguez battled back and preserved a one-run lead. He holds a 1.85 ERA and 0.94 WHIP over 34 innings on the season. It has been a nice first half for Dominguez who has struggled with injuries in the past. He could be an interesting fantasy option, assuming he continues pitching well.

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Seranthony Dominguez pitched a perfect ninth inning with a strikeout to close out the 5-3 win against the Washington Nationals on Thursday. After missing almost the entirety of 2021, he's been in the best form of his career, pitching to a 1.74 ERA and 0.81 WHIP with 40 strikeouts over 31 innings. Although it marks just his third save of the season, Dominguez earned all of them after June 17, around when Corey Knebel was demoted from the closer role. It's looking like the 27-year-old has become the new ace of the bullpen and should get the majority of save opportunities.

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Seranthony Dominguez tossed a scoreless inning to earn the save during Saturday's 2-1 win over the Washington Nationals. He entered the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead and tossed a perfect frame to earn his first save of the season. Philadelphia continues to use a closer-by-committee approach between Brad Hand and Dominguez after the Phillies removed Corey Knebel from the closer role earlier in the week. Dominguez has been excellent this season, posting a 1.73 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, and 34 strikeouts over 26 innings. Fantasy managers searching for saves should add the Phillies right-hander in all league formats.
