Charges Against Roberto Osuna Withdrawn
Sep. 25, 2018
.Domestic-assault charges against Houston Astros closer Roberto Osuna were withdrawn on Tuesday, and he's entered into a peace bond for one year. He cannot contact the alleged victim for one year. Osuna served a 75-game suspension earlier this year and was then traded from the Blue Jays to the Astros, where he has taken over as the closer down the stretch. The right-hander has a 2.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 19 saves (10 with Houston) and an 8.3 K/9 in 21 outings. Osuna has been a strong closing option when he's been available this year.

He's become the unquestioned closer in Houston and has a 2.41 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, nine saves and an 8.2 K/9 over 19 outings with them.

Roberto Osuna Earns 16th Save
Sep. 11, 2018
.Houston Astros closer Roberto Osuna nailed down his 16th save of the season in the Astros 3-2 win over the Tigers. Osuna pitched a scoreless frame to lower his ERA to 2.51 on the season and now has converted all seven of his save chances with his new team. Osuna is posting a 2.12 ERA through 17 innings since being making his debut with the Astros on August 6. He has become a late-season jewel in regards to saves in fantasy and should continue to see a healthy share of opportunities the rest of the season.

Roberto Osuna Posting 1.93 ERA With Astros
Sep. 5, 2018
Houston Astros closer Roberto Osuna nailed down his 13th save of the season Tuesday night against the Twins. It was his fourth save since being acquired by the Astros and has been a boon to Houston's bullpen. Over his last 14 innings, Osuna is posting a .193 ERA with 12 hits allowed and 15 strikeouts. Manager A.J. Hinch has elected to give other relievers a chance to close a game here and there but Osuna will get the lion's share of save chances for the rest of the season.
Roberto Osuna's Case Could Be Resolved This Month
Sep. 4, 2018
Houston Astros closer Roberto Osuna's assault case in Toronto won't be resolved on Wednesday, but his attorney, Domenic Basile, is hoping the case can be resolved later this month. The Astros are scheduled to be in Toronto on Sept. 24-26, and Basile is hoping the matter can be resolved before then. Osuna's charges could be dismissed with the issuance of a peace bond, and Osuna couldn't be charged again on that allegation. Osuna has become the team's primary closer and should remain owned in all leagues.

Roberto Osuna Nails Down 11th Save
Aug. 26, 2018
Houston Astros reliever Roberto Osuna picked up his 11th save of the season as the Astros beat the Angels 3-1 on Sunday. It was the second save in an Astros uniform for Osuna and now has a 2.25 ERA through eight innings pitched with seven strikeouts since joining the team. Osuna has usurped Hector Rondon from the closer's spot and it's his job to lose moving forward. The Astros appear to have busted loose from their slump and have resumed racking up wins. That should mean plenty of save opportunities moving forward for Osuna.

Roberto Osuna Named Primary Closer For Astros
Aug. 21, 2018
Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch has told reporters that reliever Roberto Osuna will handle the closing duties moving forward. Osuna was acquired amidst plenty of controversy from the Blue Jays and has allowed one run through five innings pitched out of the bullpen for the Astros since August 6. Osuna locked down 39 saves last season for the Blue Jays but also blew 10 opportunities. The Astros have struggled with the back-end of their bullpen all season after reliever Ken Giles imploded early in the year. Houston is currently locked in a tie with the A's for the division lead and wins have been hard to come by lately. Osuna is worth a look based on his upcoming opportunities for saves but it is unclear how effective he will be for the stretch run.

Roberto Osuna Reinstated Sunday
Aug. 5, 2018
Houston Astros reliever Roberto Osuna was reinstated Sunday from his 75 game suspension. It has been a while since Osuna has pitched, so he may not take over the closer role immediately, but he did through seven shutout innings with eight strikeouts in the minors before being reinstated, which is encouraging. Osuna is a most own option as he will inevitably take over the closer role for one of the best teams in the majors.

Roberto Osuna Starting Rehab Assignment Thursday
Aug. 2, 2018
Houston Astros relief pitcher Roberto Osuna, who was acquired from the Blue Jays, will start his rehab assignment with Double-A Corpus Christi on Thursday. He will join the Astros on Sunday in Los Angeles. He's been serving an 75-game suspension for a domestic-assault case, but he's eligible to return on Sunday and could take over the closing duties from Hector Rondon. If Osuna remains available in your league, scoop him up now.
Roberto Osuna Has Court Date Pushed Back to September
Aug. 1, 2018
Newly-acquired Houston Astros reliever Roberto Osuna has had his next court date pushed back until Sept. 5. This essentially means that he will be free from any further possible punishment until that date. Osuna is eligible to return from his 75-game domestic violence suspension on Sunday. His morality aside, there is no debating that Osuna is a fantastic pitcher. It is not clear whether or not Osuna will take over the closer's role immediately, but he should usurp Hector Rondon at some point. He has been great during his minor league rehab appearances as he did not allow a single run across six innings of work.
Osuna (suspension) was dealt to the Astros on Monday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Roberto Osuna Acquired by Astros
Jul. 30, 2018
The Houston Astros have acquired relief pitcher Roberto Osuna from the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. In exchange for Osuna the Jays are receiving pitchers Ken Giles, David Paulino, and Hector Perez. Osuna isn't eligible to return from his 75-game suspension for domestic violence until August 5. Hector Rondon will continue to close for Houston until Osuna returns. Ken Giles was sent to the minors a few weeks ago, but will likely end up as the Jays closer here soon. A change of scenery should be good for both players.
Roberto Osuna Moving Rehab To Triple-A
Jul. 24, 2018
Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna is moving his rehab assignment to Triple-A Buffalo. Osuna has been serving a 75-game suspension for a domestic-violence incident but is eligible to return on Aug. 5. He had a 2.93 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 13 K's in 15 1/3 innings along with nine saves before his suspension. The Blue Jays are expected to re-insert him right back into the closer role when he's eligible to return, so pick him up immediately if he's lingering on your league's waiver wire. Ryan Tepera should go back to a setup role.
Osuna's (suspension) rehab assignment was transferred to High-A Dunedin on Tuesday.

Roberto Osuna Makes First Minor League Appearance Since May Arrest
Jul. 14, 2018
Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna made his first minor league appearance on Saturday, allowing a hit and striking out one in a scoreless inning for the Gulf Coast League Blue Jays. Osuna is still serving a 75-game suspension for an domestic assault charge in May. He is eligible to return on August 5 and will likely resume his role as the Blue Jays closer. Osuna is one of the better closers in the game outside of his off-the-field problems. If he's available in your league it might be time to pick him up while Ryan Tepera becomes expendable.

Roberto Osuna to Begin Rehab Assignment
Jul. 10, 2018
Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna is slated to begin his rehab assignment. Osuna is still serving his 75 day suspension for a domestic violence accusation, however, he is eligible to return on August 5. Osuna has pitched to a 2.93 ERA and a 13/1 K/BB ratio with nine saves in 2018. Despite the ongoing case against him, Osuna is one of the best closers in the MLB. His return will be a huge boost for the Blue Jays and if he is somehow available in your league, now might be the time to pick him up.

Roberto Osuna Suspended 75 Games
Jun. 22, 2018
Updating a previous report, Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna has been suspended 75 games by commissioner Rob Manfred for violating the domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse policies. The suspension is retroactive to May 8 (when Osuna was first placed on administrative leave), but Osuna won't be able to play until August 5, meaning he will be suspended an additional 36 games. Ryan Tepera will have a comfortable hold on the closer's role for now, and there's no guarantee that Osuna will get his job back upon his return. Still, you're likely holding onto Osuna in most leagues in the event that the Blue Jays give him the ninth-inning job back in August.
Roberto Osuna Suspension Expected Friday Night
Jun. 22, 2018
Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna is expected to be suspended by Major League Baseball on Friday night, according to their domestic-violence policy. Osuna has been out of action since early May, and while he did look like his normal self when active with nine saves and a 2.93 ERA, the forthcoming suspension could hold him out for 50 games judging by prior occurrences. Regardless, we should have a decision by Friday night, and Ryan Tepera will likely continue to be the closer for the near future. You can't outright drop Osuna just yet, but it's looking like he might not be back with Toronto until later this season.

Roberto Osuna’s Leave Extended Through June 25
Jun. 18, 2018
Today in the "Roberto Osuna's leave extended again" category, the Toronto Blue Jays closer's administrative leave has...wait for it...once again been extended, this time to June 25. As we write every week, this is simply just a formality as the legal process plays out. His leave will continue to be extended by Major League Baseball until the case is resolved and a potential suspension is issued (or not issued). Osuna's initial hearing was actually on Monday, but it was mainly for procedural purposes without any real progress. His next court date will be on July 9, a hearing at which his attorney has stated Osuna plans to plead not guilty to the assault charge levied against him in early May. The odds are becoming increasingly likely that we don't see Osuna suit up again in 2018.
Resolution To Roberto Osuna’s Case Won’t Be For Awhile
Jun. 18, 2018
The first court date for Toronto Blue Jays reliever Roberto Osuna is on Monday, but fantasy owners shouldn't expect an outcome anytime soon. Monday's initial hearing for Osuna's sexual assault charge is "largely procedural", and Osuna himself won't even be in attendance for it. The only real purpose for this hearing is that it will set the stage for the next court hearing, likely in a few weeks. This is what our fear here was -; the case isn't likely to be resolved right away, meaning we're still weeks away from a resolution and even more time away from learning what Osuna's potential suspension could be. Osuna has been on administrative leave since May 8, and that isn't changing anytime soon. Ryan Tepera will continue to handle the ninth inning for Toronto.

Roberto Osuna’s Administrative Leave Extended Again
Jun. 11, 2018
In the "headlines that we've written before" category, the administrative leave for Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna has once again been extended by Major League Baseball. The extension is for another week, taking us through June 18. Same old story here. The administrative leave is simply a transactional formality; we won't know much of anything else as to Osuna's status until, at minimum, his hearing for an assault charge on June 18. Even then, we wouldn't expect this to get resolved right away. Regardless of guilt or innocence, given MLB's disciplinary history it feels comfortable to say he'll likely be suspended to some degree. In Osuna's absence, Ryan Tepera has emerged as the reliever to own for saves in Toronto.

Roberto Osuna’s Leave Extended Through June 11
Jun. 4, 2018
Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna's administrative leave has been extended by Major League Baseball through June 11. This is just a formality at this point. Osuna's leave is going to continually be extended unless and/or until MLB hands down a formal suspension for his assault charge. Osuna's first court date is on June 18, though there's no telling at this point when the legal process will be completely resolved here. Osuna is going to be out a while, and owners should plan on missing him for the rest of the year as a precaution, even if that doesn't end up being the case. Ryan Tepera is currently the ongoing favorite as Osuna's replacement, but his performance has been shaky of late.

Roberto Osuna May Receive “Significant Ban”
May. 24, 2018
Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberoto Osuna may be facing a "significant ban" as the assault allegations against him are of a "physical nature", according to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports. Osuna's administrative leave was extended this week through May 28, and you can bet it's only going to be extended further with the initial hearing in mid-June. Osuna has denied any physical harm in this case, but the legal process will be the judge of that. There's a chance Osuna could face a 30-game ban, possibly more, depending on how this plays out. Fantasy owners should be planning to be without him for awhile. Tyler Clippard remains the closer in Toronto, though after Wednesday's disastrous outing one has to wonder if Ryan Tepera will get a shot any time soon.
