Nabs four-out save
Almonte picked up the save Tuesday against Houston, recording a strikeout over 1.1 perfect innings.
ANALYSIS
After manager Craig Counsell announced Sunday that Adbert Alzolay was no longer the Cubs' closer, Almonte filled that role Tuesday. While Almonte's the first Cub with a save since the announcement, Hector Neris, who got a save in Game 2 of Saturday's double-header, and Mark Leiter, who Almonte replaced in the eighth, could be part of what seems to be a short-term closing committee.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2017
Almonte had a career 5.30 ERA and was coming off a 7.55 mark in 2021 when the Rockies cut him loose. He landed with the Dodgers on a minor-league contract and, as the organization has done with many others, figured out what worked for Almonte and watched him turn in a 1.02 ERA over 33 relief appearances. In Almonte's case, it was using more sinkers than four-seamers and, most importantly, upping the usage of his slider, a pitch which garnered a robust 48.5 percent whiff rate. Almonte did deal with an elbow injury in the second half, although he returned late in the year to make four scoreless appearances. The 28-year-old picked up one save in 2022 and it wouldn't be a surprise if he gets more than that in 2023 with the back-end of the Dodgers' bullpen unsettled.
