Although rankings change rapidly, our tiered ranks combine current season results while considering the rest of the season and should not be considered gospel. Here is the latest entering gameplay on June 24. Injured relievers and closers on suspension will not be listed in these tiers. They slot back in once they return.
Tiered Closer Rankings, Week 14
Tier One
- Emmanuel Clase (CLE)
- Ryan Helsley (STL)
- Robert Suarez (SDP)
- Kyle Finnegan (WSH)
Welcome back, Ryan Helsley. It’s amazing what rest can do for a talented closer. Here’s hoping his team manages his workload better moving forward.
Tier Two
- Raisel Iglesias (ATL)
- Andrés Muñoz (SEA)
- Pete Fairbanks (TBR)
- Mason Miller (OAK)
- Josh Hader (HOU)
- Craig Kimbrel (BAL)
- Trevor Megill (MIL)
- Jhoan Durán (MIN)
- Carlos Estévez (LAA)
- Evan Phillips (LAD)
- Clay Holmes (NYY)
- Kenley Jansen (BOS)
This tier experienced some turnover in the rankings. Fantasy managers keep hoping for stable roles in the Twins’ bullpen, but Rocco Baldelli keeps moving the goal line.
Tier Three
- Tanner Scott (MIA)
- Alexis Díaz (CIN)
- José Alvarado (PHI)
- Kirby Yates (TEX)
- Paul Sewald (ARI)
- Camilo Doval (SFG)
Volume affects some relievers in this tier, and trade deadline decisions are looming. It will be curious to see how many relievers in this group are moved before July 30, plus Estévez and potentially Jansen in the one above.
Tier Four
- Jason Foley (DET)
- Jeff Hoffman (PHI)
- Chad Green (TOR)
- James McArthur (KCR)
- Aroldis Chapman (PIT)
- Héctor Neris (CHC)
- Griffin Jax (MIN)
- Ryne Stanek (SEA)
- Reed Garrett (NYM)
- Jake Diekman (NYM)
Relievers who received a boost in the rankings because they have been thrust into save chances appear in this tier along with ancillary save options on better teams (Hoffman; Jax).
Tier Five
- Michael Kopech (CHW)
- Jalen Beeks (COL)
- Bryan Abreu (HOU)
- Ryan Pressly (HOU)
- Fernando Cruz (CIN)
- Bryan Hudson (MIL)
