Bowman fired a scoreless ninth inning in Wednesday's 6-0 loss to the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old right-hander needed an efficient six pitches to post his sixth straight scoreless effort, a stretch during which he's also racked up a pair of holds. Bowman has had a handful of outings in which he's given up multiple earned runs this season, but he's also demonstrated plenty of upside with several extended scoreless streaks.

Bowman notched his 22nd hold in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Giants, allowing one hit in a scoreless seventh inning.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old right-hander has righted the ship over his last three appearances, firing a scoreless 2.1 innings over that span. Bowman has generated extended stretches of impressive pitching at multiple points this season and retains fantasy value due to his solid workload and frequent use in hold scenarios.

Bowman fired a scoreless ninth inning in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old right-hander has bounced back from two rough outings in which he allowed five earned runs over just one-third of an inning versus the Pirates and Padres. He's generated two consecutive scoreless appearances, but sports an unsightly 7.36 ERA over 11 trips to the mound in August. Despite his occasional struggles, Bowman does have three victories and 21 holds on his ledger, so he retains fantasy viability in a variety of formats.

Bowman picked up his second save with a clean ninth inning Friday against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

With Trevor Rosenthal unvailable after throwing consecutive days, including a four-out save Thursday night, Bowman took the ninth. Expect Rosenthal to slide right back into the closer's role for the next Cardinals save opportunity, but Bowman has apparently impressed Mike Matheny enough to get such a situation in Rosenthal's absence.

Bowman (3-4) fired a scoreless sixth inning in Wednesday's 8-5 win over the Royals, allowing two hits and recording a strikeout.

EDGE Analysis

Bowman needed only 15 pitches to get through his frame despite giving up a pair of hits, posting his sixth straight scoreless effort in the process. The 26-year-old right-hander has lowered his ERA from 3.83 to 3.52 during that stretch and remains a viable fantasy asset in all formats due to his 19 holds, solid 1.11 WHIP and brisk workload.

Bowman notched his 19th hold in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Diamondbacks, getting one out to close out the seventh inning.

EDGE Analysis

Bowman drew the tough assignment of facing Paul Goldschmidt with a man on second and two out, but he was able to eventually elicit an inning-ending groundout from the All-Star first baseman after eight pitches. Bowman has strung together three straight scoreless efforts after being charged with back-to-back blown saves on July 22 and 25. The two runs he surrendered in those appearances are the only ones on his ledger in July, a month during which he's generated a 2.00 ERA across nine frames.

Bowman (2-3) got one out to close out the seventh inning in Friday's 11-4 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Bowman didn't even break a sweat while notching his second win, getting Willson Contreras on two pitches for his only out. The 26-year-old right-hander remains perfect in July, having allowed just five hits and a walk in seven scoreless innings across 10 appearances.

Bowman fired a scoreless seventh inning in Monday's 6-3 win over the Mets, allowing one hit.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old right-hander continues to rack up the holds, with Tuesday's being his fourth in the last 10 days. Bowman is once again looking like the pitcher that put together a 19.2-inning scoreless streak between the tail end of last season and April 25 of the current campaign, as he's now turned in scoreless efforts in 12 of his last 13 outings.

Bowman notched his 15th hold in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Marlins, getting one out to close out the sixth.

EDGE Analysis

Bowman needed only four pitches to get Giancarlo Stanton to ground out into a fielder's choice with two on and the Cardinals clinging to a 3-2 lead. After a brief rough patch following an excellent start to the season, the young right-hander has settled back in, allowing only one earned run in his last 11 appearances and lowering his ERA from 4.71 to 3.89 in the process. Although he did see a recent save opportunity, Bowman's role continues to be the one he filled Thursday, one which has helped him garner the team lead in holds.

Bowman struck out the only batter he faced to register his first save of the season during Saturday's win over Washington.

EDGE Analysis

Nothing about Bowman's stat line suggests he's a potential closing option for the Cardinals, as he sports a 4.15 ERA and 7.8 K/9 for the campaign. However, he is coming off a strong June (2.19 ERA, 1.05 WHIP over 12.1 innings), and the 26-year-old righty will probably continue to pitch in high-leverage situations going forward. His fantasy value is probably limited and fleeting.
