RELIEVERS: Who's Next?

This week, the column looks for change that could (or should) occur in the near future. We start in San Diego.

Since returning from the disabled list on June 15, closer Huston Street (RHP, SD) has allowed seven hits and no walks with one earned run across five innings. He has only one blown save on the year. So what's the problem? The problem is that he managed only one strikeout in those five innings, continuing a pattern before he went on the DL (a 5.0 Dom this season). In fact, his season skills to-date are not closer-worthy:

SD          IP   ERA WHIP  Dom  Cmd hr/9  xERA   G/F  BPV 
=========  ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ====  ====  ===== === 
Street     25.3 4.26 1.26  5.0  1.8  2.8  4.89  32/44  23
Gregerson  32.7 2.48 1.01  7.4 ...

Almost!

This column filters by first two weeks K%-BB% and then looks at the projections to make an early call on whether the elite start is real or not real.

Using projections for skills and early-season usage patterns, we look at five more bullpens.

We are a week into the 2026 season and can start to look for usage patterns in fluid bullpens. Griffin Jax's season so has left managers screaming.

Every week brings changes to bullpens. One game does not give us much, but it gives us something, like a Jordan Romano (RHP, LAA) save.
