Fantasy Analysis
Rodney continues to have one of the best reliever ERAs in baseball at 0.40, and his 0.75 WHIP is also pretty pristine. Rodney has 14 saves in 14 chances this season and has been one of the best ninth-inning guys in baseball. He can remain active in most mixed Fantasy leagues. (Updated 05/23/2012).

Matt Joyce hit a three-run homer off fill-in closer David Robertson in the ninth inning, falling down on a twisted ankle as he finished his swing, and the Tampa Bay Rays rallied to beat the New York Yankees 4-1 on Wednesday.
Fernando Rodney did not get off to the best of starts a year ago and ended up losing his job as closer for the Angels. He blew just his second save chance of the season and was eventually moved to a setup role for rookie Jordan Walden, who pitched in the ninth inning the remainder of the year. Rodney was limited to just 39 appearances due to a back injury and finished with a 4.50 ERA and three saves in seven opportunities. The right-hander signed with the Rays in the offseason and is expected to help set up for closer Kyle Farnsworth in Tampa Bay. Given his role and recent struggles, leave Rodney for the deepest of AL-only formats that use middle men on Draft Day. (Updated 2/9/12)
