Brothers, who entered the game in the ninth for Jhoulys Chacin, struck out Domonic Brown for the final out and his third save. He has a 0.30 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP in 33 appearances.

Brothers (2-0) allowed a hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning. He has not allowed a run since April 6, extending his scoreless streak to 25 1/3 innings.

Granted, Betancourt would likely reclaim the role once he returns from the DL, but as a 38-year-old in the final guaranteed year of his contract, he's a prime candidate to be traded if the Rockies fall out of the race as expected. Brothers showing he can handle the role would make the move that much easier. Stuff-wise, it's not even a question. He just has to prove he can handle the demands of the ninth inning.

Whether your need for saves is long-term or short-term, you need to pick up Brothers in Fantasy. Once the Rockies see his stuff in that role, they'll be anxious to get him back there.

Brothers already has one save this year and has been utterly brilliant out of the Rockies' bullpen. He owns a 0.36 ERA (1247 ERA+) and 25 strikeouts in 24 2/3 innings. Look for him to hold down the job until Betancourt returns, likely in just the requisite two weeks.
