Dillon Tate - Could see savesManager Brandon Hyde named Tate, Felix Bautista and Cionel Perez as the likely candidates to see save opportunities after the Orioles traded Jorge Lopez to the Twins on Tuesday, Na...
ImpactTate has two saves and 12 holds as a setup man for Baltimore this year, and he also has a 2.22 ERA and 1.01 WHIP across 48.2 innings. It's unclear exactly how Hyde's matchups-based approach will shake out, though it limits the value of all three pitchers for fantasy managers, at least until one player separates from the pack.

Cionel Pérez - In mix to closeManager Brandon Hyde name Perez, Felix Bautista and Dillon Tate as the candidates to serve as Baltimore's closer after Jorge Lopez was traded to Minnesota, Nathan Ruiz of The Balti...
ImpactThe trio has operated as setup men for the Orioles this year, and the group will now be in a closing committee with Hyde utilizing a matchup-based approach. Perez has one save and 15 holds with a 1.25 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 34:15 K:BB across 36 innings this season. Bautista seems like the best option to head the committee, but it remains to be seen exactly how the group's usage breaks down with Lopez out of the picture.

Félix Bautista - In closing committeeManager Brandon Hyde said Bautista, Cionel Perez and Dillon Tate the candidates to closer for Baltimore after Jorge Lopez was traded to the Twins on Tuesday, Nathan Ruiz of The Bal...
ImpactBautista was the presumptive closer for the Orioles in the immediate aftermath of the trade, but Hyde will instead employ a matchup-based approach for the ninth inning. The right-hander has three saves and 13 holds to go with a 1.66 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 34.4 percent strikeout rate in his first taste of big-league action this year, so he's the logical candidate to head Baltimore's committee, though that doesn't necessarily mean he'll receive the bulk of the save chances.
