.The Arizona Diamondbacks non-tendered relief pitcher Brad Boxberger, starting pitcher Shelby Miller and infielder Chris Owings on Friday, making them all free agents. Boxberger started the year as Arizona's closer but was booted from the role and finished 3-7 with a 4.39 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 32 saves and 71 K's in 53 1/3 innings. At 31 years old next year, the soft-tossing right-hander may struggle for fantasy value. Miller is still just 28 years old but has thrown only 38 innings (eight starts) in the last two seasons due to injuries. He's off the fantasy radar until he returns and proves his health, wherever that may be. Owings hit just .206/.272/.302 with four home runs, 22 RBI and 11 steals in 106 games for the Snakes. His blend of power and speed is attractive, though, so he could carve out a role in single-universe leagues in 2019, depending on where he lands.

Brad Boxberger Removed From Closer Role
Sep. 10, 2018
.Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Brad Boxberger has been removed from the closer role. Manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that he would play matchups in the ninth inning moving forward. Lovullo seems to prefer to use a closer-by-committee approach rather than have a single closer emerge. Since the All-Star break, Boxberger has an ERA of 7.90 and has allowed six runs in four September appearances. Archie Bradley is the best reliever in the bullpen, and would be the player to add for save collectors.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo reiterated after Thursday's 7-6 loss to the Braves in 10 innings that Boxberger would remain the team's closer despite turning in another shaky outing, Zach Buchanan of The Athletic reports. "He is still our closer. He's going to get save opportunities," Lovullo said of Boxberger. "He's going to be the main guy that I'm looking at to get that [saves] column filled up, all right?"

Brad Boxberger Bounces Back To Record 25th Save
Jul. 30, 2018
Arizona Diamondbacks closer Brad Boxberger recorded his 25th save of the season on Sunday, striking out two batters over a clean inning of work. It was a good bounce-back effort for Boxberger, who was blown up for three runs in his last appearance. He now carries a 3.49 ERA and 1.13 WHIP this season and ranks seventh among NL relievers with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate. He has a firm hold on the closer role and will be a solid source of saves for the rest of the season.

Brad Boxberger Blows Fifth Save
Jul. 27, 2018
Arizona Diamondbacks closer Brad Boxberger (1-4) blew his fifth save of the season on Thursday, giving up three runs on two hits and one walk over one-third of an inning against the Cubs. Boxberger was tasked with protecting a 6-4 lead in the ninth and proceeded to give up a two-run home run to Javier Baez followed by a walk-off home run to Anthony Rizzo. Before Thursday's implosion, Boxberger had not surrendered a run in his previous eight appearances. Boxberger has racked up 24 saves this season and would likely need to blow a few more chances before Torey Lovullo considers a change in the ninth.

Arizona Diamondbacks closer Brad Boxberger earned his 17th save of the year on Sunday, giving up a lone hit, while otherwise shutting down the Pirates in Arizona's 3-0 win. It was a badly needed performance for Boxberger, who had blown three of his last five save chances prior to Sunday's successful conversion. Despite the recent speed bumps, Boxberger is still the first option in the ninth inning.

Brad Boxberger Blows Second Straight Save Chance
Jun. 23, 2018
Arizona Diamondbacks closer Brad Boxberger blew the save on Friday night, giving up a run on three walks in the 11th inning of the Diamondbacks eventual victory. It was the second consecutive blown save for Boxberger, who has now walked four batters in his last 1 2/3 innings pitched. After a great start to the season, Boxberger has been shaky of late, but there has been no indication that he could be replaced. However, he will need to right the ship quickly, as Archie Bradley is more than capable of replacing him.

Brad Boxberger Blows Save In Loss To Giants
Jun. 6, 2018
Arizona Diamondbacks closer Brad Boxberger blew his second save of the season on Wednesday, issuing a walk and allowing the game-tying, two-run home run in the eventual loss to the Giants. This was the third day in a row that Boxberger had pitched and the first time since 2015 that he's done this, so fatigue may have played a role. Boxberger has now given up runs in two consecutive outings and will probably receive two or three days of rest before making another appearance. Owners don't need to worry about Boxberger losing his job anytime soon.

Brad Boxberger Blows First Save Of The Season
May. 9, 2018
Arizona Diamondbacks closer Brad Boxberger blew his first save of the season on Tuesday, serving up the game-winning home run to Kike Hernandez in the bottom of the ninth inning. Fortunately for Boxberger, Arizona was able to salvage the win in the 12th inning. It was the first runs Boxberger has given up in six appearances, and he has been solid all season despite Tuesday's hiccup. He is among the league leaders in saves and will get plenty of opportunities moving forward for the division-leading Diamondbacks.

Brad Boxberger Implodes Against Padres
Apr. 21, 2018
Arizona Diamondbacks closer Brad Boxberger took the loss on Friday night, giving up three runs (one earned) on three hits while failing to record an out. Fatigue may have played a factor in Boxberger's performance, as he was pitching for the third straight day. It was the first time since 2015 that he has done so. Boxberger was great to start the season, but hitters may be catching up to him, as he's given up seven hits and three earned runs in his last three appearances. His record now stands at 0-2 and he needs to turn it around quickly, as the first-place Diamondbacks can't afford to have him struggle in the ninth. If his struggles continue, the D-backs may turn to Archie Bradley in the ninth inning.

Brad Boxberger Takes The Loss Wednesday Night
Apr. 19, 2018
Arizona Diamondbacks closer Brad Boxberger took the loss on Wednesday night, giving up the game-winning two-run home run to Brandon Belt in the 10-inning loss to the Giants. It was Boxberger's first loss of the year and the first runs he has given up all season. Belt has been a thorn in the Diamondbacks side all series long, breaking up Patrick Corbin's no-hitter on Tuesday and now smashing the game-winning HR in extra innings. Boxberger has been great to start the year and one blip shouldn't cause a panic from his owners, although Archie Bradley is waiting in the wings for save chances should Boxberger struggle repeatedly.

Brad Boxberger Picks Up Second Save
Apr. 4, 2018
Arizona Diamondbacks closer Brad Boxberger picked up his second save of the season, shutting down the Dodgers on Wednesday. The outing wasn't without its blemishes as Boxberger walked two of the five batters he faced. Walks have been an issue in the past for Boxberger, and he has yet to make an appearance this season without issuing a free pass. Owners should keep an eye on his walk rate moving forward. Walks aside, Boxberger has now gone three appearances without surrendering a run and looks firmly entrenched as the Diamondbacks closer. He is now a must-start fantasy option.

Brad Boxberger Picks Up First Save
Mar. 31, 2018
Newly minted Diamondbacks closer Brad Boxberger picked up his first save of the season on Friday night. In his inning of work, Boxberger struck out two batters and walked one. It was a great start for the former Ray, who shut the door against one of the leagues most potent offenses. With the Arizona offense firing on all cylinders, it looks like Boxberger will have plenty of save opportunities moving forward. He remains under 50% owned in ESPN leagues and should be grabbed immediately if available.

Brad Boxberger Named Diamondbacks Closer
Mar. 27, 2018
Arizona Diamondbacks reliever Brad Boxberger has officially been named the closer by manager Torey Lovullo. The announcement ends a three-man competition between Boxberger, Archie Bradley and Yoshihisa Hirano. Boxberger last closed for the Rays in 2015, notching 41 saves in 69 games. With the D'Backs looking like a playoff team again, Boxberger will have plenty of opportunity to rack up saves. He now presents excellent late-round value for owners who like to wait for saves. Bradley is a solid handcuff, though, and he's expected to post a much better strikeout rate than Boxberger.
Brad Boxberger, Archie Bradley Still Battling for Closer Role
Mar. 26, 2018
Arizona Diamondbacks relievers Brad Boxberger and Archie Bradley are still in the middle of their battle for the closer role. Boxberger has been much better this spring, posting a 1.80 ERA compared to a 4.32 ERA for Bradley. Manager Torey Lovullo says he is not ready to name the closer, as he still needs to have conversations with the players involved. Arizona writers have been leaning towards Boxberger as Opening Day gets closer, but there has been no official word thus far. This situation may turn into a full blown committee, hurting the value of both players.
