Strikes out side for save
Newcomb struck out three in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 3-0 win over the Reds.
Analysis
This was Newcomb's second save of the season -- his other came against the Angels on Aug. 16. The Athletics are using a closing committee to finish off games since the trade deadline, and they've tallied just 31 saves overall this year, with 20 of those coming from Mason Miller prior to the deal that sent him to San Diego. Newcomb and Hogan Harris have the last four saves for the team between them, though volume will remain an issue. On the season, Newcomb has a 2.76 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 91:31 K:BB over 91.1 innings across 47 outings (five starts) between the Athletics and the Red Sox.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
2018
2017
2016
2015
Newcomb earned a rotation spot to begin the 2020 season, but his poor play resulted in the southpaw making just four starts for Atlanta. He tossed 13.2 innings early in the year, posting an 11.20 ERA and 1.90 WHIP during that time before being sent down in August. While his woes occurred over a limited sample, he had a career-low 36.0 GB% with a 9.6% barrel rate, resulting in a 2.63 HR/9. His 5.63 SIERA was slightly more encouraging, but it was still the worst mark of his career. Newcomb was a fantasy liability last year, and he certainly isn't guaranteed a starting role in 2021. The 27-year-old's average fastball velocity dipped to 93.4 mph in 2020, and he didn't force enough swings and misses to warrant serious consideration for a high-leverage role. Newcomb has had some success in past seasons, but his recent results suggest that he could be better off left on the fantasy waiver wire to begin the year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Should retain roster spot
Lucas Giolito's expected return from a hamstring injury next week is likely to mean that Newcomb's Wednesday start against the Mariners is his final turn through the rotation, but Christopher Smith of MassLive.com expects the left-hander to remain on the big-league roster and shift to the bullpen.
Analysis
Newcomb inked a minor-league deal with the Red Sox in January and has performed well as a fill-in starter early this year with a 3.63 ERA, 1.90 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB over 17.1 innings. The 31-year-old hasn't been able to complete five full frames in any of his four outings, but the performance should help keep him in the big leagues, especially given Boston's recent bullpen struggles in the middle innings.
