RELIEVERS: NRIs

Today we are looking at non-roster invitees ("NRIs") who may have an impact. Taking the total list of NRIs and filtering skill sets for at least 6.0 Dom, 2.0 Cmd ratio, no more than 1.0 HR/9, a xERA under 4.00 and BPV over 70, using BaseballHQ.com projections, we end up with seven names, and add three FAs who have enough skills to make a roster as a late-sign:

More From Relief Pitchers

We are a week into the 2026 season and can start to look for usage patterns in fluid bullpens. Griffin Jax's season so has left managers screaming.

Every week brings changes to bullpens. One game does not give us much, but it gives us something, like a Jordan Romano (RHP, LAA) save.

These relievers are the ones with the best chance at profit after the first 30 relievers are taken (and after the first 125 pitchers overall) in NFBC 15-team mixed leagues.
