Ryan Thompson Secures First Save for Diamondbacks in 4-2 Win Over Mets

The Arizona Diamondbacks' bullpen is undergoing changes due to injuries to key relievers A.J. Puk and Justin Martinez, resulting in an unsettled closer situation. On Wednesday, Ryan Thompson earned his first save of the season by escaping a bases-loaded, one-out jam against the Mets after Martinez faltered in the ninth. While Martinez had been the primary closer, his recent struggles and subsequent placement on the injured list have opened the door for Thompson, Shelby Miller, and Kevin Ginkel to share late-inning responsibilities. On Thursday, Miller picked up his first save for Arizona, with manager Torey Lovullo indicating that save opportunities could be distributed among several relievers rather than relying on a single closer. This ongoing bullpen rotation makes it unclear who will consistently handle save situations moving forward. Fantasy managers are advised to monitor the evolving roles before making roster decisions.
