2024 Fantasy Outlook
Despite only recording two of the Angels' first seven saves, Estevez went on to convert a career-best 31 of the team's 43 total saves for a 72.1% team share that was ninth-highest among relievers. The hard-throwing right-hander quickly put a disastrous spring behind him to record a 1.50 ERA and 1.13 WHIP over the first two months of the season. He maintained solid ratios through the end of July, even earning his first All-Star selection, but he posted abhorrent numbers over the final two months to finish the year with a disappointing 3.90 ERA and 1.49 WHIP. The 31-year-old produced a career-best 27.8% strikeout rate thanks to his upper-90's fastball, but he also struggled with his command and control, as his 11% walk rate was his worst since his rookie season. Estevez is a wild card for fantasy purposes since he's in the final year of his contract with the Angels. He may open 2024 as LA's closer, but performance risk and/or a possible trade do not inspire much confidence. Read Past Outlooks
Back on track with sixth save
Estevez retired all three batters he faced with two strikeouts to earn the save Wednesday against the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander pitched a scoreless ninth Tuesday in a blowout victory in his first appearance of May, which gives him back-to-back scoreless appearances after he gave up six runs in his previous four outings. Estevez has converted six of eight save chances and has an ugly 5.06 ERA over 10.2 innings this season, but a 0.84 WHIP and 13:0 K:BB are encouraging, and his status as the Angels' closer should be stable for now.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Getting shelled
Estevez owns an 8.74 ERA and a 2.12 WHIP over 11 appearances since the All-Star break.
ANALYSIS
Estevez has compiled 24 saves this season, although just three have come in the past 30 days. Despite a 1.49 season-long WHIP fueled by a career-worst 13.0 percent walk rate, the 30-year-old had not blown a save until squandering two consecutive opportunities in the first week of August. Reynaldo Lopez profiles as high-leverage competition down the stretch, but he's currently on the bereavement list.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2017
Estevez signed a 2-year, $13.5 million deal with the Angels after logging a career-best 3.47 ERA and 1.18 WHIP over 57 innings during his final season in Colorado. The right-hander throws his 98 mph fastball roughly 71% of the time, while occasionally mixing in a slider (15%) and changeup (14%) that were more effective in 2022 than they have been in recent years. Estevez's stock should improve a bit now that he's away from Coors Field, where he had a 5.57 ERA and 1.54 WHIP for his career compared to a 3.51 ERA and 1.26 WHIP elsewhere. Save opportunities are likely with his new club, though manager Phil Nevin may deploy a closer committee to start the 2023 season. If Los Angeles does not contend this season, look for the club to trade away veteran Ryan Tepera, who is a free-agent after the season. This would potentially open up more save chances for Estevez in the second half.
