Sean Doolittle‘s toe injury appeared minor at first, but the team would rather have him sit out for a few days. With four days off for the All-Star break, Doolittle may only miss a few games. However, he won’t pitch in the All-Star Game, and that could open the door for Milwaukee Brewers reliever Jeremy Jeffress.
Is Jeffress worthy of inclusion?
He has a 1.02 ERA in 43 games. Jeffress has also racked up 46 strikeouts, and only walked 13. He has 12 holds, three saves, and six relief wins. His 1.2 WAR is almost double San Diego Padres closer Brad Hand’s 0.
