Clase tossed a scoreless ninth inning with two strikeouts against the Athletics on Saturday to pick up his sixth save of the season.

EDGE Analysis

Asking Clase to preserve a three-run lead against the A's is about as easy as a save opportunity gets, but his fantasy managers will take it. Clase did give up a leadoff double to Ryan Noda in this one, but he quickly rebounded with a couple punchouts sandwiched around a groundout. The 26-year-old closer has been credited with two blown saves this season, but he's been charged with just one earned run and has a 9:0 K:BB over 10 frames.

Clase earned the save in Thursday's 5-4 win over Boston, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

It was an encouraging effort from Clase after he'd blown his previous two save opportunities. Despite his recent rough patch, the 26-year-old Clase has been excellent overall to start the year, allowing just one earned run through his first nine innings while striking out seven as he improves to 5-for-7 in save chances.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander couldn't stop the phantom runner from scoring after the Guardians had taken a 7-6 lead in the top of the 10th, but Cleveland tacked on three more runs in the 11th to put the game away. Clase is 4-for-6 in converting save chances to begin the season, but that's been due more to bad luck more than bad pitching -- he sports a 1.13 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 6:0 K:BB through eight innings, and his spot as Cleveland's closer is in no jeopardy.

Clase allowed a run on two hits in one inning during Sunday's win over the Yankees. He blew a save opportunity and did not strike out a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Clase coughed up a run on a double by Anthony Volpe before the Guardians eventually won in the 10th inning. It was Clase's first blown save of the year after converting his first four chances. It was also the first run he allowed after beginning the season with a six-inning scoreless streak. This blown save won't impact his role as Cleveland's closer.

Clase gave up a hit and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his fourth save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old right-hander led the majors in saves each of the last two seasons, and he's already jumped out in front in 2024 by converting all four of his chances. Clase also has an encouraging 4:0 K:BB in 4.0 innings to go along with his 0.00 ERA, after his strikeout rate dipped to a career-low 7.9 K/9 in 2023. He remains arguably the most stable closer in the game, offering solid ratios and a team environment that sees him get the lion's share of the save opportunities for a team that isn't built to blow out the opposition.
