Cubs, Dodgers, Twins, Mets, and Padres pens
Apr 28 2024
This column examines the bullpens for the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers, Minnesota Twins, New York Mets, and San Diego Padres. We start in Chicago where Adbert Alzolay (RHP, CHC) has already been ostensibly replaced as closer due to acute gopheritis in early April. Hector Neris (RHP, CHC) is currently in the role and has already matched Alzolay with three saves. Neris had some early struggles of his own—too many walks—but has been better of late.
Here are the year-to-date BPIs:
| CHC | SV | HD | IP | ERA | xERA | WHIP | K% | K-BB% | HR9 |
| Neris, Hector | 3 | 3 | 9.0 | 4.00 | 5.11 | 1.78 | 20% | -2% | 1.0 |
| Alzolay, Adbert | 3 | 1 | 11.2 | 3.86 | 4.05 | 1.20 | 21% | 13% | 3.2 |
| Almonte, Yency | 1 | 5 | 10.0 | 3.60 | 3.45 | 1.20 | 29% | 15% | 0.9 |
| Palencia, Daniel | 1 | 0 | 6.0 | 6.00 | 6.83 | 2.17 | 17% | -6% | 0.0 |
| Leiter Jr., Mark | 0 | 5 | 12.1 | 0.00 | 3.41 | 1.05 | 26% | 17% | 0.0 |
