Notches third save Feyereisen gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Monday to record his third save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Yankees.
Impact A Rougned Odor double with two outs made things a bit interesting, but Feyereisen then struck out Miguel Andujar to end the threat. The right-hander has a win, save or blown save in all five of his appearances since joining Tampa Bay, and even if he doesn't completely usurp Diego Castillo in the ninth inning for the Rays, Feyereisen seems very comfortable in a high-leverage role.

Secures second save Feyereisen earned the save during Saturday's 5-3 win over the Rays by recording one strikeout and not allowing a baserunner during the ninth inning.
Impact Diego Castillo tossed a scoreless eighth inning to line up for the victory, and Feyereisen closed the door in the ninth to nab his second save since being acquired by the Rays last week. Manager Kevin Cash will mix-and-match his options for saves -- four different relievers and recorded multiple saves this season -- and Feyereisen has quickly established himself as a trusted option for his new team. Castillo should be looked at as the primary closer, but Feyereisen is in the mix along with Pete Fairbanks, Jeffrey Springs and Andrew Kittredge.

Earns win after blown save Feyereisen (1-2) allowed one earned run on one hit and struck out one to earn the win Wednesday against the Royals.
Impact Feyereisen entered the game in the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead, but he promptly allowed a leadoff home run that tied the score. The Rays stuck with him, and he went on to retire the next six batters he faced to earn the win. It was the second time the Rays have used Feyereisen in a save situation since he was acquired May 21, though Diego Castillo still figures to work as the primary closer for the time being.

Earns save Sunday Feyereisen earned the save Sunday against the Blue Jays after tossing a scoreless ninth inning, giving up a hit and fanning two.
Impact Feyereisen had gone 0-for-2 in save opportunities this season, though both came when he was still a member of the Brewers. The Rays have a well-earned reputation for getting the most out of previously unheralded pitchers and Feyereisen has responded well since getting traded last week, as he has tossed two scoreless innings with three strikeouts after changing teams.

Traded to Tampa Bay Feyereisen and Drew Rasmussen were traded from the Brewers to the Rays on Friday in exchange for Willy Adames and Trevor Richards, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact The Rays have a well-earned reputation for getting the most out of previously unheralded pitchers, so it's possible they see something in Feyereisen, but the 28-year-old hasn't shown much in 28.2 career major-league innings. His 4.08 ERA is decent enough but comes with a 5.32 FIP and 5.02 xFIP, as he's combined a merely average 23.7 percent strikeout rate with a poor 14.0 percent walk rate.

Runs into rough patch Feyereisen allowed two earned runs in an inning of relief and took the loss Wednesday as the Brewers fell to the Royals.
Impact Feyereisen did not give up an earned run over his first 17 appearances of the season, but he allowed at least one earned run -- and seven runs in all -- in three of his last four trips to the mound. He remains in the third spot in the Brewers' bullpen for the time being, but he's going to have to get back on track in order to hang onto it.

Finds spot in late-inning mix Feyereisen tossed a scoreless seventh inning and picked up a hold in his third consecutive appearance in Saturday's victory over the Cubs.
Impact Feyereisen has not allowed an earned run in 11 appearances this season, and his strong start has helped him secure a key role in the Brewers' bullpen, allowing him to pick up a hold in three of the club's last four wins. He's still not in a very fantasy-friendly role with Josh Hader and Devin Williams ahead of him on the depth chart, but he is presumably in position to get a save opportunity should both fellow relievers be unavailable in a given game.

Takes loss Sunday Feyereisen (0-1) allowed an unearned run on a hit and walk with one strikeout in one inning Sunday versus the Pirates. He took the extra-inning loss.
Impact Feyereisen allowed a leadoff double by Colin Moran that scored Bryan Reynolds in the 10th inning. The 28-year-old Feyereisen has yet to allow an earned run this season -- both runs against him in eight appearances have come unearned. He has added seven strikeouts and a hold across eight innings. The right-hander is likely to continue in mainly low-leverage assignments.
