Chris Welsh endorsed grabbing Porter Hodge wherever saves are scarce after the rookie worked a clean ninth to lock down a win over the Dodgers. Welsh reminded listeners that Chicago said in spring training Hodge would "get some looks" and Wednesday’s usage shows that promise is real. Ryan Pressly has a 5.00 ERA and shaky command, while Hodge’s expected ERA sits around 2.5 with a strong strikeout rate and declining walk percentage. With the waiver pool for closers drying up, Welsh ranked Hodge near the top of speculative add lists—above options like Cade Smith—because Pressly’s path to losing the ninth is far easier than Emmanuel Clase’s in Cleveland. If fantasy players need saves, Welsh urged them to grab Hodge now before the role solidifies.
