Blue Jays' David Phelps: Collects sixth hold
David Phelps walked one and struck out one in a scoreless eighth inning Thursday to record his sixth hold of the season in a win over the Rays.With closer Jordan Romano getting a breather, the other members of the Toronto Blue Jays' bullpen picked up the slack as Adam Cimber notched the save. Phelps stumbled at times in June, posting a 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB through 12 innings on the month, but the right-hander should remain in a middle relief/setup role and appears headed for his first season with double-digit holds since 2017.

Blue Jays' David Phelps: Grabs rare save
David Phelps allowed a hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 11-10 win over the Angels.Closer Jordan Romano pitched in each of the last three games, so he wasn't available for this contest. Phelps was able to make a one-run lead stand in the ninth inning to earn his first save since 2019 as Yimi Garcia and Adam Cimber were already utilized earlier in the game. Phelps has done well in a less prestigious role in 2022, posting a 2.41 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB with four holds and an 0-1 record through 18.2 innings across 21 appearances.

Blue Jays' David Phelps: Picks up second hold
David Phelps walked two batters and recorded only one out but still recorded his second hold of the season in Wednesday's win over the Yankees.Entering the game in the top of the seventh inning with the Toronto Blue Jays nursing a 2-1 lead, Phelps walked Josh Donaldson and Aaron Hicks to put the tying run in scoring position, but Tim Mayza was able to escape the jam after replacing the right-hander on the mound. Phelps has had a mostly solid start to the season, posting a 2.61 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB through 10.1 innings, but his role in middle relief affords him only occasional high-value opportunities from a fantasy perspective.

Blue Jays' David Phelps: Gets fully cleared for spring
Toronto Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo confirmed Tuesday that David Phelps (lat) is a "full go" for spring training after the right-hander recently completed a bullpen session, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.Phelps' 2021 season came to an end in early May when he sustained a significant right lat injury that later required surgery. While he only made a small sample of 11 appearances before getting hurt, Phelps was a dominant weapon out of the Toronto bullpen, producing a 0.87 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 15:4 K:BB across 10.1 innings. He could have as shot at earning a meaningful high-leverage role if he shows in spring training that he's recaptured the form he displayed early in 2021.

Blue Jays' David Phelps: Re-ups with Jays
David Phelps (lat) re-signed with the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to major-league spring training.Phelps should have a legitimate chance at capturing a spot in the Blue Jays' Opening Day bullpen, provided he proves in spring training that he's made a full recovery from the season-ending surgery he required last May to repair a torn right lat. Before developing the injury, Phelps was a standout performer in relief for Toronto in a small sample of 10.1 innings, allowing just one earned run on eight hits and four walks while striking out 15. The 35-year-old boasts a 3.90 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 302 career big-league appearances.
