Giants | Santiago Casilla removed in save situation |
Fri, 13 May 2016 09:41:35 -0700
San Francisco Giants RP Santiago Casilla loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks in a save situation Thursday, May 12, and was pulled for RP Javier Lopez, who wound up with the save. Casilla showed his displeasure with manager Bruce Bochy when he was pulled from the game. Lopez came in to face 3B Jake Lamb, who was 0-for-3 in his career against Lopez and 15-for-102 (.147) in his career against lefties.
Fantasy Tip: Casilla has seven saves but has already blown three this year, and he came into the year on shaky ground as a second or third fantasy closer. This development is certainly notable, and with Sergio Romo on the DL, Hunter Strickland would likely be next in line for saves if Bochy wants to demote Casilla. Grab Strickland in deeper leagues if you're in need of saves.

Giants | Frisco bullpen not getting it done |
Tue, 04 Aug 2015 18:10:41 -0700
San Francisco Giants RPs Santiago Casilla and Sergio Romo have been struggling lately, particularly against left-handed hitters. Over the past 20 at-bats, lefties are hitting .328 against Casilla, and .450 off of Romo. RP Javier Lopez was used Monday, Aug. 3, against a lefty to start the ninth inning, but manager Bruce Bochy plans to stick with Romo setting up Casilla for now.
Fantasy Tip: Fantasy owners in standard formats have been frustrated with the duo, but for now it appears to be status quo in San Francisco as Bochy lets each pitcher work through their problems rather than demote them to less stressful situations to iron out their issues.

Giants | Santiago Casilla out a few days |
Thu, 02 Jul 2015 08:23:06 -0700
San Francisco Giants RP Santiago Casilla (arm) will be given a few days off due to arm fatigue, according to manager Bruce Bochy. RPs Sergio Romo and Javier Lopez will close out games based on matchups.
Fantasy Tip: Romo is the righty, has the experience and will probably see the bulk of the opportunities with Casilla out. He's likely gone in NL-only leagues, but if you're fetching for saves in mixed leagues, grab him.
