2024 Player Outlook

2023 Recap: Across 68.1 IP last season, he posted a career best 1.71 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and 28.2 percent strikeout rate, while recording two saves and 31 holds. Neris’ splitter is elite, and last season, it posted a .171 BAA and 42.2 percent whiff rate, not to mention a .213 wOBA. 

2024 Outlook: Neris does have closing experience, but the Cubs will likely use Neris as the setup man to Adbert Alzolay. Even if Neris experiences some regression in 2024, he’s a great reliever to target in SV+H leagues, as he’s posted a 2.69 ERA, 10.50 K/9, and MLB best 56 holds over the last two seasons. Furthermore, with the current state of affairs in the Chicago bullpen, if something were to happen to Alzolay, Neris should step in as the team’s closer, further boosting his fantasy value in the aforementioned setups.
