Red Sox Likely To Have Interest In Kelvin Herrera
Dec. 3, 2018
.The Boston Red Sox may be in need of a closer next year if free-agent Craig Kimbrel doesn't return, and they could look to free-agent reliever Kelvin Herrera (foot). General manager Dave Dombrowski tried to trade for Herrera at the trade deadline last summer. Herrera tore the Lisfranc ligament in his left foot on Aug. 26 and was only just recently cleared for light jogging last week. He's scheduled to travel to D.C. next week for an examination, with the plan to resume baseball activities in January if he hasn't suffered a setback. The veteran reliever had a nice .244 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 17 saves in 48 outings for the Royals and Nationals and has 60 career saves, so he has the experience. If he signs with Boston as their closer, Herrera will have some nice fantasy appeal after the big closing names come off the board.
Kelvin Herrera Undergoes Surgery
Sep. 2, 2018
Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kelvin Herrera (foot) had surgery last Thursday to fix the torn Lisfranc ligament in his left foot. Herrera will miss the rest of the season. He posted a 2.44 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 7.7 K/9 in 48 outings (44 1/3 innings) between the Royals and Nats this year. He also had 17 saves, although only three of them came with Washington. The right-hander wasn't as effective in his 21 games in the National League (4.34 ERA, 1.71 WHIP).

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.
Herrera struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday against the Phillies.

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.
