Updated Top-50 for Saves and Top-75 for SOLDS for the start of the Second Half

The table includes rankings for relievers at the start of the second half. It includes their save, K-BB percentage, swinging strike rate, and WHIP through games played on July 14. This table also shows each reliever’s ranking in Standings Gain Points (SGP) for the season and the last 30 days, helping identify recent trends.

These rankings may change rapidly as closers work their way back on rehab assignments, and the trade deadline is just over three weeks away. For now, here’s how they stand. Because saves remain at the forefront of fantasy managers’ minds, the top 31 features our reliever currently residing atop the bullpen hierarchy, with the Phillies’ “floating closers” both ranked as the only outlier.
