MLB:
With Hader out and Kimbrel in, which Astros reliever should fantasy managers roster for saves in the near term?
Qwiket AI:
Kimbrel is the primary bet for save chances with Sousa on the IL, but Houston will mix in setup arms if he falters. Expect Kimbrel to anchor late innings early, with McCullers’ return stabilizing the rotation and reducing bullpen strain. Monitor the first 1-2 weeks for clear usage signals; if Kimbrel seizes all save opportunities, he becomes a must-roster in many leagues. If not, hold a speculative hand on a primary setup man as a fallback.
