Notches first career save
Sandlin picked up a save against Atlanta on Saturday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning of work.
ANALYSIS
Regular Cleveland closer Emmanuel Clase pitched a scoreless ninth frame to send the game into extra innings, so Sandlin was handed the ball with the Guardians up two runs in the 11th. The right-hander didn't have any trouble getting through the heart of the Atlanta lineup, retiring Ronald Acuna, Ozzie Albies and Austin Riley in order on just 11 pitches. There's no arguing that this was an impressive performance by Sandlin, but with Clase locked in as one of the league's most secure closers, it's unlikely Sandlin gets many more save chances moving forward.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
The 67th overall pick in the 2018 draft was dominant when last fully healthy in 2019 with a 1.56 ERA and 14.2 K/9 at Double-A. Sandlin had forearm surgery in July 2019 and didn't pitch in a game in 2020. He did return to pitch at Cleveland's alternative site last season. The sidewinder will likely need to show he's healthy at Triple-A before getting a shot at the majors.
