He did walk a hitter but worked around it without allowing a hit. The Angels closer situation is a bit murky, as three arms in their 'pen have recorded saves. However, it always seemed like Estevez was the leader of the closer committee, and after posting a 3.47 ERA with...

Los Angeles Angels manager Phil Nevin said that he wanted relief pitcher Carlos Estevez to have another day off on Wednesday since he had pitched on Sunday and Monday. It's why Jose Quijada picked up the save in the 4-3 win over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. When he's available, Estevez is going to be the Angels' primary closer, so fantasy managers shouldn't necessarily be running out to the waiver wire to grab Quijada after his save on Wednesday. The 30-year-old Estevez doesn't have a ...

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Carlos Estevez was handed the ball in the ninth inning of Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 29-year-old tossed a scoreless ninth inning to record his second save of the season. It was a bit odd to see Estevez out there instead of Daniel Bard.

Estevez made this one interesting, as he tends to do. He was tasked with protecting a one-run lead in the ninth inning in what was a back-and-forth contest. He promptly served up a single to Keibert Ruiz before recording the next two outs in succession. He then allowed another single to Ryan Zimmerman ...
