Fantasy Baseball: Dodgers promote Josue De Paula amid closer updates

As the 2026 fantasy baseball season approaches its conclusion, key player movements and performance trends are shaping waiver wire strategies and closer rankings.

In the Los Angeles Dodgers organization, top prospect Josue De Paula has been promoted for his Major League debut following Shohei Ohtani being placed on the injured list. De Paula is noted for his blend of power, contact, and aggressive baserunning.

In relief pitching, Bryan Baker of the Rays leads the league with 39 saves. Other notable performers include Mason Montgomery of the Pirates, who has recorded 19.1 consecutive scoreless innings, and Kodai Senga of the Mets, who has secured three saves since late August to take over the team's closer role.
