Kelvin Herrera Done For Season, Ryan Madson Back From DL
Aug. 27, 2018
Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera (foot) has suffered a torn Lisfranc ligament in his left foot and will miss the rest of the season. Reliever Ryan Madson (back) has been activated from the disabled list and should be the favorite for saves once again until closer Sean Doolittle (foot) returns from the DL. Madson could share save chances with Koda Glover, but you should consider adding Madson if you need saves.
Kelvin Herrera Carted Off Field Sunday
Aug. 26, 2018
Nationals relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera (foot) was removed from Sunday's game in the ninth inning due to a left foot injury. Herrera is going in for x-rays tonight to determine the severity of this injury and will likely be placed on the disabled list in the coming days. This will be Herrera's second DL stint in August as he just returned from a shoulder injury last week. The Nationals' bullpen takes another huge blow as they are still without Sean Doolittle or Ryan Madson. Koda Glover should be expected to take over as the interim closer until Doolittle returns.

Kelvin Herrera Activated, Tommy Milone to DL
Aug. 21, 2018
Nationals relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Tuesday. This was followed by a corresponding move sending starting pitcher Tommy Milone to the DL to make room on the roster for Herrera. With Sean Doolittle still shelved and Koda Glover's struggles recently, Herrera is set to assume the role of Nationals closer for the time being. He might be in to pitch a low leverage inning beforehand but should get a few save opportunities until Doolittle comes back.

Kelvin Herrera Could Return Early Next Week
Aug. 18, 2018
Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera (shoulder) could return from the disabled list on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week after throwing a 15-pitch simulated game on Saturday. Manager Dave Martinez was impressed with Herrera. With closer Sean Doolittle and veteran reliever Ryan Madson injured, Herrera could return to the ninth-inning duties over Koda Glover next week. Herrera has a nice 2.53 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 37 strikeouts in 42 2/3 innings to go along with 17 saves. If he's out there on your waiver wire and you need saves, consider adding him again.

Kelvin Herrera Tosses Simulated Game on Saturday
Aug. 18, 2018
Washington Nationals reliever Kelvin Herrera (shoulder) threw a successful simulated game on Saturday as part of his rehab. Since it went so well, it seems like there is a chance that Herrera could return sometime next week. Ryan Madson (back) and Sean Doolittle (foot) are currently out of commission, so Herrera should conceivably see some save opportunities upon his return. Koda Glover is currently acting as the Nationals closer, but his grasp is quite tenuous. If any fantasy managers are incredibly desperate for saves, Herrera should be scooped up.

Kelvin Herrera Resumes Throwing on Saturday
Aug. 11, 2018
Washington Nationals closer Kelvin Herrera (shoulder) threw on Saturday for the first time since winding up on the disabled list back on Wednesday. While the progress is nice to see, there is still no timetable for Herrera's return. It seems likely that the Nationals will take a cautious approach and ensure that Herrera is fully healthy before ramping up his rehab. Regardless, this does not seem like the kind of injury that should keep Herrera out for too long and fantasy owners should plan on having him back in the coming weeks. Ryan Madson will continue to get save opportunities while Herrera and Sean Doolittle are sidelined.

No Structural Damage For Kelvin Herrera
Aug. 8, 2018
Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez said relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera's (shoulder) MRI exam showed inflammation and no structural damage. He will be shut down for three to four days, but the hope is that he can resume throwing next week. It's good news for Herrera, but he still may be out for a few weeks. His fantasy value was on the rise closing out games with Sean Doolittle (foot) sidelined, but Herrera may be back after Doolittle returns now. Ryan Madson has moved into ninth-inning duties for now in D.C. and should be owned in all formats.

Kelvin Herrera Placed On DL
Aug. 8, 2018
The Washington Nationals placed relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera (shoulder) on the disabled list on Wednesday with a right rotator cuff impingement. In a corresponding move, reliever Koda Glove has been recalled from Triple-A Syracuse after two years of shoulder problems. Herrera blew the save in Game 2 of a doubleheader against the Braves on Tuesday and has struggled of late with a 4.76 ERA (nine earned runs) and four homers allowed in 17 innings since June 19. It'll likely be a lengthy absence, so he can probably be dropped in most leagues. With Sean Doolittle (foot) still out, the veteran Ryan Madson is expected to see most of the save chances.

Kelvin Herrera To Undergo MRI
Aug. 7, 2018
Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera (shoulder), who has been filling in as the closer in Sean Doolittle's absence, left his outing early on Tuesday with right shoulder tightness and will undergo an MRI exam on Wednesday. Herrera entered a 1-1 game and allowed three hits and two earned runs in just one-third of an inning before departing and taking the loss in Game 2 of a doubleheader against the Braves. He's been solid this year with a 2.53 ERA, 7.80 K/9 and 17 saves, but he might need to go on the disabled list, depending on the severity of his injury. If he does, Ryan Madson would be the likely choice to move into the ninth inning until Doolittle returns.

Kelvin Herrera to be Closer While Sean Doolittle on DL
Jul. 10, 2018
Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera is expected to be the team's closer while Sean Doolittle is on the disabled list. Doolittle was placed on the 10-day DL with a toe injury but is expected back for the first game of the second half. Herrera has struggled since coming to Washington but has an overall 1.89 ERA on the season with a 29/5 K/BB ratio. He was already an established closer on the Royals so he has experience with the job. Herrera needs to be added in all leagues as he should see a fair amount of save opportunities in Doolittle's absence.

Kevin McCarthy, Tim Hill Headline Possible Replacements for Kelvin Herrera
Jun. 18, 2018
Kansas City Royals relief pitchers Kevin McCarthy and Tim Hill are the leading candidates to replace Kelvin Herrera's closer role, now that Herrera has been traded to Washington. McCarthy has thrown 30 1/3 innings this season with a 3.86 ERA and just 19 strikeouts. Hill has a less favorable 4.98 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 21 2/3 innings this season. McCarthy will most likely get the first shot at closing and is the recommended add right away, but it very well could end up being a closer-by-committee which would be very ugly for fantasy. There should be more news on the Royals bullpen soon.
Done Deal: Kelvin Herrera Traded to Nationals for Three Minor League Prospects
Jun. 18, 2018
Relief Pitcher Kelvin Herrera has been traded from the Kansas City Royals to the Washington Nationals for outfielder Blake Perkins, third baseman Kelvin Gutierrez, and right-handed pitcher Yohanse Morel. Herrera is a free agent at the end of this season and most scouts believe the Royals got a good return for a rental player. Herrera most likely takes a setup role in Washington as they bolster their now very impressive bullpen. It's still undetermined who will close for the Royals, but Kevin McCarthy, Tim Hill and Brandon Maurer are all potential options.
Report: Kelvin Herrera Close to Being Traded to Nationals
Jun. 18, 2018
Former Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera has reportedly been traded to the Washington Nationals. Herrera is being sent to Washington for what is described as three good minor league prospects that are not Victor Robles. Herrera had been the Royals' closer since the departure of Greg Holland and Wade Davis, but was excellent in a setup role before that. With Sean Doolittle's success this season it probably means Herrera will be giving up his closer role which would tank his fantasy value. It will become much more clear soon.
Kelvin Herrera Implodes Against Reds
Jun. 13, 2018
Kansas City Royals closer Kelvin Herrera has been nearly untouchable in 2018, but everything went off the rails on Tuesday night. Herrera came in to close a 1-0 game, but he promptly gave up a game-tying solo shot to the first hitter he faced, catcher Tucker Barnhart. He then walked Joey Votto, Herrera's first walk of the season, and that brought out the trainers to see if he was OK. After recording a couple fly outs, he walked another batter before getting the third out. The Royals would go on to lose in the 10th inning. Herrera's walkless streak ends at 24 2/3 innings, and the terrible inning leaves lingering injury concerns. While this was likely a fluke, owners should keep a close eye on his next couple outings.

Kelvin Herrera Works Scoreless Inning
Jun. 8, 2018
Since it had been five days, the Kansas City Royals gave closer Kelvin Herrera an inning of work even though the team was losing by three runs on Thursday. Herrera kept his walkless streak intact, and that is now 23 2/3 innings without recording a single walk this season. He also struck out one, so he's now sitting at 20 strikeouts on the year. Though the team is terrible, Herrera has successfully closed 13 of the games, totaling a save in 61.9 percent of the team's wins this year. If he was doing that for a 90-win team, he'd be looking at a 55-save season. Unfortunately, KC's looking more like a 55-win team, so he's more likely to finish with around 30 to 35 saves if all goes well.

Kelvin Herrera Locks Down 13th Save
Jun. 2, 2018
Kansas City Royals closer Kelvin Herrera has been a bit limited in the save department this season due to the poor play of the team around him, but when given the chance, he's been quite solid. Herrera's only blown one save in 2018, and he's surprisingly still walk-less. In fact, no other pitcher in the league has thrown 14 or more innings this year without recording at least one walk. Herrera's strikeout rate is a bit depressed as well, but if it means he'll keep bonus runners off base like this, it looks like it's worth it. His WHIP is a career-best 0.74 so far.
Kelvin Herrera Locked Down His Eighth Save
May. 12, 2018
Kansas City Royals closer Kelvin Herrera locked down his eighth save of the season on Friday by pitching a clean inning against division rival Cleveland. Herrera has been nearly untouchable this season, as he's only surrendered one run all year, but his save numbers have been severely limited so far by how bad his team is. The Royals have only won 13 games so far. Herrera's strikeout numbers aren't as gaudy as some of the other premier closers in the game, but he also hasn't walked a single batter this season, something that plagued him when he struggled last year.

Kelvin Herrera Blows Save Tuesday
May. 1, 2018
Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera blew his first save of the season Tuesday. Herrera ended up taking the win but that will only offer a little satisfaction to him. Herrera surrendered his first home run of the season to Eduardo Nunez in the bottom of the 12th innings. That was also the first run that Herrera has given up in 2018, which demonstrates how impressive he has been up until now. In 10 2/3 innings Herrera has five saves,12 strikeouts and zero walks. This will not affect Herrera's role with the Royals and he remains a top 15 closer going forward.

Kelvin Herrera Nails Down Third Save
Apr. 21, 2018
The Kansas City Royals may have a lot of problems with their team, but closer Kelvin Herrera certainly isn't one of them. On Friday night, Herrera stranded a baserunner en route to his third save of the season. Herrera has been lights out so far this year, racking up eight strikeouts in just 5 2/3 innings. Most importantly, he hasn't walked a single batter yet this year. Herrera was wobbly last season, and eventually was replaced later in the year. This season looks like it's a different story, and he's back to being elite even if his team is bad.

Mar. 25, 2018
Royals general manager Dayton Moore suggested Sunday that Herrera would open the season as the team's closer, Josh Vernier of 610 Sports reports. "I think so," Moore said, when asked if Herrera was the Royals' unquestioned top end-game option. "Kelvin's pitched in a lot of high-leverage situations. It's all in there. He's capable of performing in whatever role Ned matches him up with. Whether it's seventh, eighth, ninth, multiple innings at times, I think he'll perform well."
