Ryan Helsley
#212026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile
Signed to stabilize the back end of the bullpen, Helsley arrives with a proven track record as a closer. He saved 28 games for the Cardinals in 2025, showcasing his trademark triple-digit heat. He joins a bullpen that desperately needs certainty.
2026 Outlook: The closer job is his to lose. With Félix Bautista likely eased back into action or sharing duties, Helsley should see the bulk of save chances early. He is a top-10 closer option with elite strikeout rates.

AVG, OBP, SLG, ERA and WHIP are season-to-date through each game, not that game alone — so the column reads as a trend and its last value is the season figure. They stay season-to-date when the log is filtered by opponent; the figure for the filtered games is the one in the Total row. The second game of a doubleheader is marked (2).
