Locks down fourth save
Varland secured the save Thursday against the Twins, allowing no runs on one hit and no walks in 1.1 innings. He struck out two.
Analysis
Varland filled the zone for 12 strikes among his 16 offerings, permitting a lone innocuous single to Byron Buxton in the eighth inning. The 29-year-old right-hander should continue to have Washington's closer role mostly to himself until Clayton Beeter (forearm) comes off the injured list. Varland has converted four of his six save opportunities, posting a 3.07 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB over 14.2 frames overall this year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On taxi squad
Varland joined the Dodgers as a member of the taxi squad ahead of Sunday's game in Toronto, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic.
Analysis
The right-hander isn't currently poised to join the big-league roster, but he could provide some much-needed depth for Los Angeles if Sunday's bullpen game doesn't go smoothly. Varland made two early-season appearances for the Dodgers and allowed two runs on a hit and a hit-by-pitch while he recorded just two outs.
