Fantasy Analysis
Benoit had 10 holds entering Sunday's save situation. He's going to close games until Jose Valverde is ready to return for the Tigers. Valverde is day to day for now, but it might be worth a roster spot to add Benoit to your bench in case Valverde does need a trip to the DL. In his normal role, Benoit has low-end Fantasy value.
