Fresh off being named the National League Reliever of the Month, Philadelphia Phillies reliever Hector Neris continued his scoreless streak Tuesday night in Miami. Coming on in the eighth after Jake Arrieta surrendered a home run, the 29-year-old allowed two hits, but struck out another and escaped the inning unharmed. In August, Neris pitched nine scoreless innings, allowing just three hits while incredibly striking out 20 batters. To put this into perspective, he tossed 9 2/3 innings in June and allowed 12 runs on 15 hits, getting sent down afterwards. Now, he appears to be in peak shape heading into the stretch.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris, who was sent to the minors twice in the middle of the season, struck out two hitters on seven total pitches with the go-ahead run on second base on Wednesday night and appears to be back in the mix in the late innings in high-leverage situations. He has allowed just three hits with one walk and 18 strikeouts in eight scoreless innings since his return. Pitching coach Rick Kranitz thinks Neris' struggles this year stem from him throwing too many sliders when his bread and butter is the fastball-splitter combination. Neris worked in the minors to shorten his delivery and lift his leg, and manager Gabe Kapler points to "more vertical movement" on Neris' splitter since his return. The location of his four-seam fastball also has improved dramatically compared to earlier in the year. Seranthony Dominguez, who has served as the closer for most of the year, has hit a wall and has allowed eight runs and three homers in his last 7 2/3 innings. Tommy Hunter picked up a two-inning save on Wednesday, but Neris is very much in the picture for saves down the stretch with Kapler mixing and matching in the ninth. Scoop Neris up now if you're searching for saves at this juncture in a deeper league.

Philadelphia Phillies reliever and former closer Hector Neris made his second consecutive appearance Thursday afternoon in the first game of a doubleheader against the New York Mets. The 29-year-old, who lost the closer role and posted a 6.90 ERA en route to being demoted in June, eventually posted a 1.45 ERA with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. After putting forth a scoreless outing on Wednesday night against the Boston Red Sox, he entered with the Phillies down by 10 runs. Neris would be the first bright spot of the game for the pitching staff, recording a perfect inning and striking out the side. While it's way too early to tell if he managed to fix his issues in the minor leagues, he could become an instrumental part of the bullpen once again.

Late in Friday night's game against the Washington Nationals, Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler went to Hector Neris to close out the ninth. Of course, this wasn't a save situation, rather a garbage time appearance for the former closer who's now at the very bottom of the depth chart. The 29-year-old came on with the Phillies down by five runs and had his worst appearance of the year. Allowing three home runs, he surrendered five runs on four hits, also walking a batter. This comes on the heels of a demotion to Triple-A, only being brought back to the majors due to injuries. Considering how low he's fallen, the Phillies may very well release Neris at some point in the near future.

After getting demoted to Triple-A following multiple disastrous outings as the closer of the Philadelphia Phillies, reliever Hector Neris was brought back after Edubray Ramos went on the DL with a right shoulder impingement. Neris would appear in Monday night's game against the New York Yankees coming on in relief of starter Vince Velasquez. His return would be a successful one, as he tossed a scoreless inning, striking out two batters along the way. The 29-year-old is desperately hoping for a better stint in the majors after posting a 6.00 ERA with a 1-3 record prior to his demotion.

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris has been optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday. Neris gave up four runs during his most recent outing on Sunday. He's allowed nine runs, five home runs, and 15 hits over his last eight innings of work. The Phillies called up lefty Austin Davis to take over the active spot on the roster. Seranthony Dominguez would be the favorite for saves. but manager Gabe Kapler has not named a closer. Neris should be dropped in just about every format.

The Philadelphia Phillies headed into the ninth inning of Sunday's series finale against the Milwaukee Brewers with a five-run lead, seemingly headed for an easy victory at Miller Park. The day after recording his first save of the month, reliever Hector Neris was summoned to record the final three outs of the game, but he wouldn't be able to get the job done. The 29-year-old was absolutely terrible, giving up a home run, single and double to begin the frame. After recording two outs, he surrendered a three-run home run, cutting the lead to just one run. At that point, manager Gabe Kapler had seen enough, pulling Neris from the game. The Phillies would go on to finish the game, but Neris' future in pressure situations has to be in major trouble.

Not the outright closer of the Philadelphia Phillies anymore, Hector Neris was given a chance by manager Gabe Kapler on Saturday evening to perhaps reclaim the role. The 29-year-old was summoned to pitch the ninth inning of a 4-1 game after Seranthony Dominguez struck out two batters in a scoreless eighth. Neris, coming off a run allowed his last time out, retired the side in order to record his 10th save of the season. While he was successful on the day, it seems highly unlikely that anything is once again defined in this Phillies bullpen. With the manager very much interested in rotations, nobody should feel safe.

Philadelphia Phillies closer Hector Neris picked up the save with a clean inning Monday against the Atlanta Braves. Neris struck out one of the three batters he faced. It has been difficult to figure out who will be getting saves for manager Gabe Kapler recently, but Monday it was the team leader Neris picking up his ninth save of the year. The right-hander now has a 4.50 ERA and is one of three relievers who have picked up saves recently, along with Seranthony Dominguez and Edubray Ramos. It will likely depend on matchups, making it a headache to own any of them. Dominguez, however, is a must-own in leagues that count saves and holds, as he is still yet to give up a run this season. He pitched the eighth inning Monday and now has four holds in 2018.

The Philadelphia Phillies carried a four-game winning streak into Friday's series opener against the New York Mets at Citizens Bank Park. After Jake Arrieta tossed seven masterful innings, the home club maintained a one-run lead heading into the ninth. Manager Gabe Kapler called on closer Hector Neris to ensure victory, but the Dominican native failed spectacularly. The 28-year-old picked up a quick out but allowed a single and consecutive home runs to put his club in a two-run hole. It was Neris' third blown save of the season, as a lack of trust along with a skyrocketing ERA could very well put his spot as closer in danger. On the night, he took the loss, his third of the season.
