Neris pitched a scoreless ninth inning with two strikeouts during Thursday's win over Boston.
This was Neris' first save since June 4, and manager Pete Mackanin suggested last week that Neris might not be the only ninth-inning option for the Phillies. However, this was certainly an encouraging sign for fantasy owners. Still, Neris' mediocre 3.49 ERA and 1.31 WHIP aren't exactly go-to numbers, and he's also allowed three runs through four innings over his past five appearances. Keeping an eye on Mackanin's bullpen usage going forward is advised.
