Amid so much injury in the Philadelphia Phillies’ bullpen in recent years, right-handed reliever Hector Neris has proven to be a durable back-end arm. He is among the underrated Phillies players on the roster.

Since 2015, only seven National League relievers have appeared in more games than Neris (306): Jared Hughes (354), Tony Watson (350), Felipe Vazquez (323), Andrew Chafin (323), Kenley Jansen (321), Pedro Baez (317), and Pedro Strop (309).
