Diamondbacks, Astros, Dodgers, Twins, Rangers
Aug 17 2025
Today, let's run through the Arizona Diamondbacks, Houston Astros, Los Angeles Dodgers, Minnesota Twins, and Texas Rangers pens, starting with Arizona. The Arizona pen has been one injury after another, and then the next man up gets the save chances. And now it looks like leverage is going to Jalen Beeks (LHP, ARI), Kyle Backhus (LHP, ARI), Kendall Graveman (RHP, ARI), Juan Morillo (RHP, ARI), and even Andrew Saalfrank (RHP, ARI) got a save last week. Here are their skills so far this season:
ARI | SV | HD | IP | xERA | WHIP | K% | K-BB% | HR/9 | pxERA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beeks, Jalen LHP | 1 | 11 | 45.2 | 4.02 | 1.14 | 21% | 12% | 0.8 | 4.07 |
| Backhus, Kyle LHP | 1 | 6 | 17.0 | 3.60 | 1.35 | 24% | 20% | 1.6 | 4.10 |
| Graveman, Kendall | 0 | 1 | 17.2 | 6.41 | 1.98 | 11% | -4% | 1.0 | 4.28 |
| Morillo, Juan | 1 | 5 | 28.1 | 4.24 | 1.66 | 22% | 10% | 0.6 | 4.74 |
