Pressly threw a scoreless inning in Monday's loss to Houston with two strikeouts. He's thrown 4.1 scoreless innings to begin the season.
Pressly has six strikeouts and two walks in 4.1 innings, so he's off to a strong start. He was roughed up early in 2017, but finished with a 2.62 ERA and .247 wOBA in the second half so this may be a continuation of that trend. He'll figure prominently in the late innings, but Addison Reed seems like the clear next man up if Fernando Rodney gets hurt or loses his closer role.
