PT TOMORROW: NL East -- Nick Anderson is rising in the Atlanta bullpen

Atlanta Braves

If you weren't watching the Braves carefully you may have missed that they appear to be quietly overhauling the backend of their bullpen since closer Raisel Iglesias returned. AJ Minter continues to struggle, blowing a save in the seventh inning of Thursday night's game. It was the first time he'd entered the game in a save or hold situation in the last week. Those higher leverage situations appear to be going to Nick Anderson who picked up a win after pitching the eighth on Thursday, despite blowing a save on Wednesday against the Dodgers.

Anderson has an impressive 32.1% strikeout rate to a minuscule 3.6% walk rate. He's only stranding 55.6% of baserunners at the moment, and most projection systems see that rate...
