A look at the potential closer candidates for the Dodgers as the playoffs approach after the demotion of former All-Star reliever Craig Kimbrel.
After Craig Kimbrel is told he no longer will be the Dodgers closer, Albert Pujols hit homers Nos. 699 and 700 to lead Cardinals in a romp.2022 season: 1.24 ERA, 0.74 WHIP, two savesThe most obvious candidate to succeed Kimbrel at closer might seem like Phillips, the journeyman right-hander who has flourished in his first full season with the Dodgers.However, saving the 28-year-old for ninth innings could come at a cost earlier in games.
However, his value in the set-up/fireman role has been — and in the playoffs, almost certainly will continue to be — incalculable. While Graterol still doesn’t strike out as many batters as his electric arsenal would suggest , he had started finding other forms of success before his injury. Yet the fiery 26-year-old certainly has the type of high-energy demeanor that could translate to ninth-inning success.Having missed most of the season because of residual effects from Tommy John surgery, Kahnle finally returned to the Dodgers’ active roster earlier this week — this time, he and the team are hoping for good.
