Jeff Hoffman's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jeff Hoffman picked up his seventh save of the season in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Cubs. Hoffman came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by two with no outs and the bases empty. He promptly shut down any hopes of a comeback, getting three consecutive outs with two strikeouts. The 31-year-old has been excellent this season, converting seven of 10 save opportunities with three wins and 10 holds to go with a 1.24 ERA, an 11.39 K/9 rate, and a 1.98 BB/9 rate in 36 1/3 innings pitched. Hoffman has been the preferred late-inning arm for the Phillies lately, seeing the most save opportunities in the last 15 days. He and Jose Alvarado have pitched well this season and are both fantasy-relevant, but it looks like Hoffman has the edge for now.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jeff Hoffman was called upon to close out Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. The right-hander struck out one batter while throwing a scoreless inning to earn his sixth save of the season. Normally, Jose Alvarado is tasked with the closer role in Philly. However, he pitched on Saturday, so the Phillies decided to give him the day off on Sunday. Hoffman doesn't see enough save chances to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jeff Hoffman blew his second save of the season but earned his first win in Monday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the Cardinals. Hoffman came in to pitch the bottom of the ninth inning up by two. He got the first out on a strikeout, allowed a walk and a double, got the second out on an RBI sacrifice fly, allowed a game-tying RBI single, and finally got the third out on a groundout. The Phillies would go ahead in the top half of the inning and Gregory Soto closed the door in the bottom half to end the game. Despite the blown saves, Hoffman has pitched well overall with a 3.38 ERA, seven strikeouts, and three walks in 5 1/3 IP. The Phillies' back-of-the-rotation has been a mess, so their usage should be monitored to see if a preferred closer emerges.
