2025 Fantasy Baseball: Bullpen Depth Charts Week 11

Each week, I’ll update the bullpen depth chart on Friday unless I have a schedule change for some reason. This year, I’ll focus more on the closing jobs that are more in flux than running through all 30 teams. Here’s a link to the 2025 MLB Bullpen Depth Chart (click on yellow text - Google Sheet).

Arizona Diamondbacks

Since returning from the injured list, Justin Martinez is 2-for-3 in save conversions. He’s allowed three runs, two hits, and five walks over 4.2 innings with nine strikeouts. His command regression (four walks over 1.2 innings) in his last outing (6/4) may suggest an underlying injury. On the positive side, his fastball averaged 99.0 mph in that appearance.

Shelby Miller extended his scoreless streak to five innings, allowing two hits, one walk, and recording five strikeouts. He earned his sixth save on June 5th when Justin Martinez was unavailable after throwing 37 pitches the previous day.

Atlanta Braves

Raisel Iglesias has struggled significantly, impacting fantasy teams and the Braves’ 2025 competitiveness. Over his last 11 appearances, he allowed a run or more in nine games, totaling 11 runs, 20 hits, two home runs, and four walks over 10.0 innings with eight strikeouts. He took three losses and blew two of four save opportunities during this stretch. For the season, he’s 8-for-12 in saves with a 6.75 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, and seven home runs allowed over 24.0 innings, raising concerns about a potential injury.

The Braves promoted Craig Kimbrel after 18 minor league appearances (AA and AAA), where he posted a 2.00 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and 23 strikeouts over 18.0 innings with three saves. His 10.2-inning scoreless streak ended on June 4th, allowing two runs and three baserunners in one inning with two strikeouts. His fastball (93.4 mph) is well below his peak (97.0–98.0 mph), suggesting potential struggles with Atlanta.

Kimbrel has 440 career saves, ranking fifth all-time.

Atlanta needs a closer change this week. Pierce Johnson could get a chance, though he’s untested in high-leverage situations. Dylan Lee has performed well (2.39 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 25 strikeouts over 26.1 innings). Could the Braves trust his left arm for saves?

Cincinnati Reds

Emilio Pagan has been effective as a closer (15-for-17 in saves), with a 3.71 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, and 31 strikeouts over 26.2 innings. However, he’s been less sharp over his last 11.1 innings, allowing seven runs, 11 hits, two home runs, and four walks with 14 strikeouts. Despite this, he converted seven of eight save opportunities in that span.

Tony Santillan was trending toward the closer role but faltered over his last seven innings, allowing seven runs, 12 baserunners, and two home runs with only two strikeouts.

Miami Marlins

Ronny Henriquez hasn’t pitched since May 31st. Over the past month, he posted a 1.26 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, and 22 strikeouts over 14.1 innings, allowing two runs with one save, one blown save, and three holds.

Calvin Faucher secured Miami’s last two saves and is 4-for-7 in save opportunities. He struggled on May 20th against the Cubs, allowing six runs and six baserunners without an out. Over his other 16.2 innings since April 9th, he allowed one run and 15 baserunners with 16 strikeouts.

Henriquez has a higher ceiling, but his closing experience is limited. The Marlins appear committed to Faucher, making this bullpen tough to predict, especially given Miami’s low win total.

Philadelphia Phillies

Jordan Romano had a strong nine-inning stretch (no runs, three hits, one walk, 13 strikeouts, five saves) but struggled in his last five appearances, allowing five runs, seven hits, one home run, and five walks over 4.1 innings with eight strikeouts and two saves. His fastball velocity has remained above 95.0 mph in his last three outings, suggesting his issues stem from command rather than arm strength.

Orion Kerkering has yet to earn a major league save but extended his scoreless streak to 9.1 innings, allowing seven hits, four walks, and recording seven strikeouts. His 2024 stats (2.29 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 74 strikeouts over 63.0 innings) make him a potential closer candidate down the road.

Pittsburgh Pirates

Dennis Santana’s last save was on May 21st, and he remains perfect in five save opportunities. On June 3rd, he allowed two runs, two hits, and one home run in one-third of an inning against the Astros, ending a nine-inning scoreless streak with two walks and 12 strikeouts.

David Bednar secured three saves over his last five appearances, remaining perfect in seven save opportunities. His scoreless streak is at five innings, allowing two hits, no walks, and recording five strikeouts. Bednar, under contract through 2027, is likely to remain the closer unless he needs rest, though a trade by August is possible.

San Francisco Giants

Camilo Doval has taken over the closer role but struggled with command in his last four games, allowing two runs, five hits, five walks, and recording five strikeouts while converting three of four save chances. He’s blown three of 11 save opportunities this season.

Ryan Walker has avoided home runs but has been more hittable, allowing 10 runs, 17 hits, and six walks over his last 14.1 innings, relegating him to a setup role.

Randy Rodriguez has been the Giants’ best reliever in 2025, allowing two runs and three walks over 28.1 innings with 41 strikeouts and three wins in 27 games. He earned his first save on June 4th, retiring two batters with one strikeout.

His scoreless streak is 15.2 innings, allowing six hits, three walks, and recording 25 strikeouts. Rodriguez’s 97.4 mph fastball and elite slider (.162 BAA and 27 strikeouts) have moved him ahead of Ryan Walker on the bullpen depth chart.

Texas Rangers

Robert Garcia secured two saves in four chances over his last six games, allowing six runs, eight hits, one home run, and four walks over 5.1 innings with six strikeouts. Despite appearing as Texas’s best closing option, he had no major league saves before 2025.

Chris Martin returned from the injured list on Thursday but didn’t pitch. His season stats (1.83 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, 23 strikeouts over 19.2 innings) suggest closer potential, but his only save was on March 29th, and Texas has looked elsewhere to finish games.

Luke Jackson, after losing the closer role, allowed a solo home run and nine baserunners over his last 7.1 innings with six strikeouts. He hasn’t pitched in a high-leverage situation in over two weeks.

Cole Winn has been scoreless over seven innings with Texas, allowing four hits, three walks, and recording six strikeouts, following 23.1 shutout innings in the minors with 22 baserunners and 20 strikeouts.
