   The Kansas City closer situation just changed completely. Alex Lange is now the guy - Lucas Erceg is OUT after 6 blown saves. We explain exactly what happened and what you need to do RIGHT NOW on your waiver wire. Bobby Witt Jr. left Sunday's game with knee discomfort - no MRI results yet. We break down why this is the most important injury to track this week and how it reshapes the shortstop market. Jacob deGrom delivered a MASTERPIECE: 6 IP, 0 ER, 6 K against Cleveland. He's allowed 0 HR in back-to-back starts. The legend is BACK. His next start? Against Boston - dead last in MLB in home runs. Buy low window is closing. Sebastian Rivero went 5-for-5 with 6 RBI for the Angels. The ANGELS beat the Dodgers 13-5. Jo Adell hit his 10th HR. Zach Neto added a 3-run HR. Los Angeles collapsed at home. Elvis Duran went 5-for-5 for Texas in their 10-0 shutout of Cleveland. Cam Schlittler dominated: 7 IP, 1 ER, 0 BB, 9 K. His ERA is 1.89. Closers: - Louis Varland: Save #11, ERA still under 1.00 - Riley O'Brien: Save #17 for St. Louis - Anthony Bender: Save #2 for Miami Tarik Skubal DOMINATED in rehab start - could return THIS WEEK. Kenley Jansen also lined up for rehab Tuesday. Jameson Taillon headed to IL with hamstring tightness. Three big takeaways: Lange is KC closer, Witt Jr. injury to watch, deGrom is back. 64 games down. Let's get into it. **Featured Stories:** - Alex Lange: NEW Kansas City closer, Erceg removed after 6 blown saves - Bobby Witt Jr.: Knee injury, mid-at-bat removal, awaiting MRI - Jacob deGrom: 6 IP, 0 ER, 0 HR allowed, fastball velocity back - Sebastian Rivero: 5-for-5, 6 RBI for Angels - Angels shock Dodgers: 13-5 win at Dodger Stadium - Elvis Duran: 5-for-5 for Rangers - Cam Schlittler: 7 IP, 1 ER, 9 K, 0 BB **Key Stats:** - deGrom: 3.18 ERA, 0 HR in last 2 starts - Schlittler: 1.89 ERA, 9 K in 7 IP - Varland: 11 saves, <1.00 ERA - O'Brien: 17 saves for STL - Rivero: 5-for-5, 6 RBI (.220 avg on season) - Duran: 5-for-5, 3 RBI **Injury Updates:** - Bobby Witt Jr.: Knee discomfort, out of game, awaiting MRI - Jameson Taillon: IL (hamstring) - Tarik Skubal: Rehab start dominated, return imminent - Kenley Jansen: Rehab appearance Tuesday **Closer Situation CHANGES:** - Royals: Alex Lange IN (3 saves in 4 days), Lucas Erceg OUT (6 blown saves) - Marlins: Anthony Bender save #2, committee forming? - Rays: Bryan Baker role in question **Starts to Watch:** - deGrom: Next start vs Boston (worst HR team in MLB) - MUST START - Skubal: Returning soon from shoulder IL, top-5 arm when healthy - Schlittler: 1.89 ERA, must-start in all formats 📊 Daily Delta provides everyday fantasy baseball analysis for dynasty leagues and redraft formats.
