Top 50 Relievers for Saves and Top 75 for SOLDS: Week 16

I am experimenting with the presentation of the weekly rankings. Within the table are rankings for relievers this week. It includes their save, K-BB percentage, swinging strike rate, and WHIP through games played on July 7. This table also shows each reliever’s ranking in Standings Gain Points (SGP) for the season, the last 30 days, and the last two weeks, 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.
