PT TOMORROW: AL Central—Hildenberger among the bullpen arms to watch in MIN
Apr 22 2019
Heading into the season, the conventional wisdom suggested Trevor May (RHP, MIN) would continue his late 2018 run of three saves into the full-time closer role starting in 2019, but that's not how things are working out at the moment. After being designated for assignment in the offseason by the Los Angeles Angels, the Twins added Blake Parker (RHP, MIN) as a late-inning insurance policy—one that has paid off handsomely in the early going, as Parker has tallied four saves so far (to May’s zero) and may be cementing himself as the ninth inning option. Both pitchers have struggled with their control and their xERAs (4.79 for May, 4.99 for Parker) are hardly closer-worthy to date, though it is, of course, early.
