Emmanuel Clase's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase locked down his fifth save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. Clase was sharp in this one, throwing a perfect inning and striking out one. It was nice to see this kind of outing from Clase, who had blown his last two save opportunities before this one. That said, the 26-year-old has been sharp overall this season, going 5-for-7 in save opportunities while pitching to a 1.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP. He will remain an elite closer for fantasy purposes.

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Emmanuel Clase allowed one hit while striking out two over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Minnesota Twins. Clase entered Saturday's game during the ninth inning to protect a two-run lead. He got two quick outs before allowing a two-out single to Twins shortstop Carlos Correa. The 26-year-old shook off the two-out hit by striking out Alex Kirilloff to the end game. He is 4-for-4 in save chances and has not allowed a run this season. Clase is off to a hot start as Cleveland's primary closer and will look to rack up his third straight 40-save campaign in 2024.

Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase registered his third save already this year to finish off the division-rival Minnesota Twins in Thursday's 4-2 win, pitching a clean ninth inning to protect the victory. Clase didn't fan any of the three batters he faced on a day the Guards punched out 15, but he's now up to three scoreless innings with two strikeouts to begin the season. After leading baseball in saves in each of the past two campaigns, the 26-year-old former American League Reliever of the Year is tied with Clay Holmes for the lead in saves during the very early stages of 2024. Cleveland paced MLB with 81 save opportunities last year, and Clase will hope to ride a similar wave again. He's entrenched as one of fantasy's elite closers going forward and should have no problem reaching 30 saves this season.

Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase picked up his second save of the season in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Mariners. Clase came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by three. He got the first out on a strikeout, allowed a single, got the second out on a groundout, and ended the game with another strikeout. The 25-year-old has been one of fantasy's premier closers for several seasons and is off to another great start, working two scoreless innings with no walks and two strikeouts.

Cleveland Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase allowed a three-run homer to Alan Trejo in one inning against the Colorado Rockies on Thursday in Cactus League action. It was the first bad performance this spring for the 25-year-old and he has now thrown five innings with nine strikeouts. There were some whispers this offseason of a potential Clase trade, but nothing came to fruition and he remains the Guardians closer. The right-hander is coming off of another strong season and remains one of the top closers in the game. Managers shouldn't hesitate to draft Clase as one of the top bullpen options entering 2024.
