Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Sulser led the Orioles in saves for the second straight season during the 2021 campaign. He also recorded single-digit saves for the second straight season, finishing 2021 with eight (which technically tied Cesar Valdez for the team lead). Sulser's modest save totals are a reflection of manager Brandon Hyde's preference for a fluid closer role and the team's poor record, as Baltimore finished with the third-lowest save total in baseball with 26. The right-hander posted excellent stats otherwise, recording a 2.70 ERA and 1.12 WHIP with five wins and six holds over a career-high 63.1 innings. With a four-pitch arsenal that includes a fastball, devastating changeup, slider and curve, Sulser had an above-average 28.4% strikeout rate while nearly cutting his walk rate in half to 8.9%. Sulser appeared to be in line for save chances with the Orioles once again in 2022, but he'll face increased competition for ninth-inning work after he was traded to the Marlins ahead of the regular season and could be forced to settle for a setup or middle-relief role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Leading candidate for saves
Sulser seems likely to be Baltimore's primary closer over the rest of the season with Tyler Wells landing on the 10-day injured list with a shoulder injury Saturday.
ANALYSIS
He has actually outpitched Wells lately as well, so he was already trending in the right direction. Sulser has a 2.79 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 73 strikeouts in 61.1 innings this season.
