Dominguez Shines in the Ninth for the First-Place White Sox
Dominguez is in peak form, delivering 4.1 scoreless innings with a microscopic 0.49 WHIP over his last 14 days. He sits comfortably as the primary closer for the first-place White Sox, who currently lead the AL Central with a 36-31 record. With fellow high-leverage arms Jordan Hicks and Jordan Leasure sidelined on the injured list, his ninth-inning security is absolute.
While his recent flawless ERA is due for minor regression toward his 3.81 season mark, his underlying skill set remains rock-solid. Our data projects a 3.90 ERA and 1.27 WHIP rest-of-season, but his superb 11.06 K/9 strikeout rate provides plenty of fantasy cushion. This hot streak is legitimate enough to solidify his status as a regular source of saves.
Looking at the remaining weekly slate, the White Sox finish a series with Atlanta before hosting a high-stakes three-game set against the Dodgers. Tight matchups against elite opposing rotations mean ample close-game scenarios and save opportunities. Deploy Dominguez as a confident active Start this week.

Outlook Hogan Harris
Hogan Harris locks down the closing gig for the Athletics, offering solid strikeout upside despite ratio risk.
Hogan Harris has established himself as the primary closer for the third-place Athletics, who currently sit at 35-36 in a tight AL West race. Over his last 12 appearances, Harris has been heavily utilized, posting a 3.67 ERA over his last 9.8 innings despite a high 1.43 WHIP. He continues to see high-leverage opportunities, solidifying his value in saves and holds formats.
While Harris's current 3.44 season ERA is serviceable, his alarming 1.91 season WHIP points to significant regression risk if he cannot curb the base runners. Our models project a rest-of-season 4.43 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 67 innings. Still, his elite strikeout rate (13.40 K/9 this season) will keep him rostered in leagues prioritizing saves and strikeouts.
The Athletics host a seven-game homestand this week against the Pirates and Angels, providing plenty of close-game possibilities. Our weekly projection expects Harris to throw two frames with a 3.60 ERA, over three strikeouts, and a good chance for a save or hold. He remains a viable weekly play where saves are premium commodities. Start.
