Jun 26 2025Faucher (3-2) earned the win but blew a save against the Giants on Wednesday, allowing two runs on one hit and one walk over one inning. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he was credited with the victory, this was far from a good outing by the right-hander. Faucher hit two batters and walked another during his time on the mound, and the single he allowed would have ended the game if not for Jung Hoo Lee getting thrown out trying to score. The blown save was Faucher's first since May 26, and he recorded six saves across 10.2 innings during that span. With that in mind, he's probably still the Marlins' top option for saves despite Wednesday's rough appearance.
Jun 24 2025Faucher walked one and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher extended his scoreless streak to 10.2 innings over his last 12 appearances. His last outing Sunday ended in a hold after Faucher was deployed in the eighth inning while Ronny Henriquez took the ninth. Faucher still looks to be the Marlins' closer -- at worst, he's the most trusted high-leverage option, especially given his recent steady pitching. He's maintained a 3.45 ERA with a 1.26 WHIP and 26:12 K:BB over 28.2 innings while adding eight saves, three holds and three blown saves. Faucher has been scored upon in just four of his 32 appearances.
Jun 14 2025Faucher retired the only batter he faced in the ninth inning Saturday to record his seventh save of the season in a 4-3 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Anthony Bender got the first crack at the save, taking the mound to begin the ninth inning with the Marlins ahead 4-1, but he coughed up two runs and left the bases loaded before getting the hook. Faucher, who tossed 21 pitches Friday to collect the save, needed only four (three strikes) this time around to get James Wood to pop out, although even that was an adventure -- Otto Lopez held onto the ball after colliding with Kyle Stowers in shallow left field. Faucher has successfully converted all five of his save chances since May 28, posting a 0.00 ERA in seven innings over that stretch, and he's tightening his grip on the closer role for Miami.
Jun 13 2025Faucher earned the save in Friday's 11-9 win over the Nationals, allowing one hit while striking out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning. He did not issue a walk. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Marlins called in Faucher to protect a two-run lead, and the 29-year-old worked around a Keibert Ruiz single to close things out. Faucher has logged a save in back-to-back appearances and has given up just one run over his last nine outings. He has a 4.01 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, two holds and a 23:11 K:BB across 24.2 innings this season.
Jun 11 2025Faucher gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his fifth save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander leads the Marlins in saves, one ahead of Jesus Tinoco (forearm), and it's been over two weeks since a Miami reliever other than Faucher picked up a save -- Ronny Henriquez collected one May 25. Faucher's earned his spot with some stingy work that has seen him get scored upon only once in his last eight appearances, a stretch in which he's posted a 1.17 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 5:1 K:BB in 7.2 innings.
May 31 2025Faucher picked up a save against the Giants on Saturday, allowing one hit in a scoreless inning of work. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher was tasked with protecting a one-run lead in the ninth frame, and he was able to work around a two-out single to get the job done. The right-hander is now tied for the team lead with Jesus Tinoco with four saves on the campaign. Tinoco hasn't logged a save since mid-May, but Ronny Henriquez has pitched well and recorded a save May 25 against the Angels, leading to some speculation that he would be the most likely Marlin to get save chances moving forward. However, Henriquez entered in the sixth inning Saturday, and Faucher has registered Miami's past two saves, so the latter seems to be the most desirable Marlins reliever for fantasy managers chasing saves, though the team's bullpen hierarchy remains highly unpredictable.
May 28 2025Faucher tossed a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 10-8 win over the Padres. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher was called upon to face the top of the Padres' order and needed just eight pitches to convert his first save since April 22. With Jesus Tinoco struggling and Ronny Henriquez used in the seventh and eighth innings, Faucher may be back in the mix for closing opportunities, even though this was his first save in over a month. He ranks second on the team with three saves and owns a 5.21 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB across 19 innings this season.
May 21 2025Faucher (2-2) took the loss Tuesday, failing to record an out while coughing up six runs on five hits and a walk in a 14-1 loss to the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander entered the game with the score tied 1-1 in the top of the sixth inning and walked the first batter he faced before getting tagged for five straight singles, with all the runners eventually coming around to score. The disastrous performance snapped a streak of 12 straight appearances without allowing a run for Faucher, but despite that run of success he hasn't recorded a save since April 22 and appears to be firmly behind Jesus Tinoco in the pecking order for closing opportunities.
Apr 13 2025Faucher struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his first save of the season in a 7-6 win over the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Anthony Bender threw 24 pitches Friday en route to his first loss of the season, so Faucher got his turn to handle closing duties Saturday and had no trouble dispatching Washington's 9-1-2 hitters, ending the game by getting James Wood to offer at a curveball in the dirt for strike three. Faucher's had a bumpy beginning to the season, posting a 6.75 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 4:4 K:BB through his first 5.1 innings, but he remains in the high-leverage mix for Miami along with Bender.
Apr 3 2025Faucher coughed up three runs on three hits in an inning of relief during Wednesday's extra-innings loss to the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander got the call in the eighth inning with the Marlins protecting a 4-1 lead, but Faucher served up a three-run blast to Pete Alonso to get charged with his first blown save of 2025. The usage alone suggests he's fallen behind Anthony Bender in the pecking order for closing duties, but the bullpen picture for Miami remains cloudy, especially with Jesus Tinoco (back) on the shelf. Over his first three appearances and three innings, Faucher has a 2:3 K:BB to go along with a 9.00 ERA.
Mar 3 2025Faucher has tossed three scoreless innings across his three Grapefruit League appearances, allowing one hit and hitting another batter while striking out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though the sample size is small, Faucher's excellence thus far in spring could give him an early leg up on emerging as the Marlins' preferred option at closer heading into Opening Day. While his ratios over his 53 total appearances with Miami in 2024 aren't eye-popping (3.19 ERA, 1.40 WHIP), he shined after the All-Star break with a 2.75 ERA (2.10 FIP) and 21.2 K-BB% before spending most of September on the injured list due to a shoulder impingement. Now healthy again, Faucher has resembled the dominant reliever he was over his final two months of the 2024 campaign.
Feb 5 2025Faucher will head into spring training as the favorite to close for the Marlins, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 29-year-old right-hander took over the closer role in early August last season and recorded six saves in eight chances, finishing the year with a 3.19 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and solid 26.8 percent strikeout rate, but he missed most of September with a shoulder impingement. In his absence, Jesus Tinoco went 3-for-4 in save chances over the final weeks of the campaign, and Tinoco likely represents Faucher's biggest competition for ninth-inning work. Southpaw Andrew Nardi (elbow) could also be in the saves mix if he shows that he's healthy and can regain his 2023 form.
Sep 7 2024The Marlins placed Faucher on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder impingement, retroactive to Sept. 5. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher has been one of the most reliable members of Miami's bullpen this season, posting a 3.19 ERA and 1.40 WHIP through 53.2 innings while picking up six saves and 11 holds. Now that he's set to miss roughly two weeks, it's unclear who Miami will turn to in high-leverage situations, though Anthony Bender and John McMillon figure to be the most likely candidates for ninth-inning work.
Sep 5 2024Faucher gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless inning of relief Wednesday, getting charged with his second blown save of the season in a 4-3 extra-inning win over the Nationals. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the Marlins ahead 3-0, Mike Baumann took the mound to begin the eighth inning but immediately ran into trouble, loading the bases without recording an out. Faucher was quickly brought in, but he walked in a run before giving up an RBI groundout and a James Wood double that tied the game. Despite the stumble, Faucher has had runs charged to his own ledger only twice in his last 13 appearances, posting a 2.08 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB in 13 innings over that stretch while converting six of seven save chances.
Sep 2 2024Faucher struck out all three batters he faced to earn a save over San Francisco on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher needed just 13 pitches (10 strikes) to roll through the Giants and close out the 7-5 win. He converted both save chances while striking out five in two perfect innings during the weekend series against San Francisco, and he's now tossed four straight scoreless innings. Since taking over the closer role in Miami after the trade deadline, Faucher has converted six of seven save chances while registering a 4.15 ERA and a 19:6 K:BB through 13 frames. On the year, he owns a 3.25 ERA over 52.2 innings.
Sep 1 2024Faucher picked up the save over the Giants on Saturday, hurling a perfect ninth inning while striking out two. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher took the mound in the bottom of the ninth with a 4-3 lead and got Patrick Bailey to fly out to center on the first pitch before retiring the final two batters by way of strikeout. It marked the right-hander's fifth save of the campaign -- all of which came in August, and he's now recorded multiple strikeouts in two of his last three appearances. Faucher appears to have a fairly firm grip on the closer job since Tanner Scott's departure, with Faucher's only blown save coming Aug. 2.
Aug 27 2024Faucher struck out three batters in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 9-8 win over the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher needed 18 pitches, but he got the job done cleanly after the Marlins rallied ahead in the top of the ninth inning. The right-hander is up to four saves in five opportunities since he became the Marlins' closer at the end of July. He's allowed six runs and posted a 13:5 K:BB over 10 innings in August, so he hasn't been dominant, but there are few other options to challenge him on a rebuilding team. Overall, Faucher has a 3.44 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 56:24 K:BB through 49.2 innings this year.
Aug 18 2024Faucher pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn his third save of the season Sunday against the Mets. He allowed two hits and zero walks while striking out two batters. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth, Faucher stumbled by allowing back-to-back singles to start the inning. He recovered nicely, however, striking out Jeff McNeil and inducing a Francisco Lindor flyout before striking out Mark Vientos to end the game. The 28-year-old Faucher has pitched well since taking over the Marlins closer role following the Tanner Scott trade on July 30. Faucher owns a 3.38 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB in eight innings since the trade, converting three of four save opportunities.
Aug 8 2024Faucher gave up a hit, a walk and a hit-by-pitch in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday to record his second save of the season in a 6-4 win over the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The right-hander was far from dominant, needing 29 pitches (14 strikes) to get through the frame, but he escaped a bases-loaded jam by getting Jeimer Candelario to ground out. Faucher is getting the first chance to become the Marlins' new closer in the wake of the Tanner Scott trade, and he's been tagged for earned runs in only one of his last 11 appearances, posting a 2.31 ERA and 12:5 K:BB through 11.2 innings over that stretch despite a shaky 1.46 WHIP.
Aug 3 2024Faucher allowed a hit and struck out two over a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-3 win over Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher took a blown save and a loss after allowing three runs in an inning Friday, but he bounced back Saturday to collect his first save since 2022. Once again, Anthony Bender and Andrew Nardi pitched earlier in the game than Faucher. For the season, Faucher has a 3.46 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 46:21 K:BB over 41.2 innings while adding 11 holds. The 28-year-old right-hander's walk rate is not ideal for a high-leverage reliever, but it's likely a non-issue for a Marlins team that isn't expected to produce many save chances the rest of the way.
Aug 1 2024Faucher struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday during a 6-2 win over the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: It wasn't a save situation, but Faucher was still the pitcher manager Skip Schumaker called upon to protect Miami's first ninth-inning lead since Tanner Scott was traded to the Padres. Andrew Nardi, who was viewed as the most likely candidate to take over closing duties, pitched the sixth inning with a two-run lead, while Anthony Bender worked the eighth after the lead was extended to four runs. Faucher has pitched well enough to be in the high-leverage mix -- over his last 15 appearances, the right-hander has posted a 1.93 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB in 14 innings.
Jul 22 2024Faucher gave up a hit and struck out two in a scoreless eighth inning Sunday to record his 10th hold of the season in a win over the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old right-hander has emerged as a reliable member of the Marlins' set-up crew in the last month or so. Over his last 12 appearances dating back to June 18, Faucher has posted a 2.45 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB in 11 innings with a win and five holds. If Miami cleans house at the trade deadline and ships out closer Tanner Scott, Faucher could get a look in the ninth inning.
Jun 14 2024Faucher struck out one in 1.1 perfect innings of relief to Thursday to record his fifth hold of the season in a loss to the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 28-year-old right-hander continues to give the Marlins solid innings while seeing occasional high-leverage work. Faucher has been scored upon only twice in his last 12 appearances, posting a 2.38 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 10:5 K:BB through 11.1 innings over that stretch. JT Chargois' return from the IL figures to bump him down another spot in the bullpen pecking order, but if Miami cleans house at the deadline and ships out relievers like Tanner Scott, there could be an opening for Faucher in the late-inning crew.
Apr 13 2024The Marlins recalled Faucher from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher failed to make the Marlins' roster out of spring training, but he will now come up from the minors to provide Miami with some extra bullpen depth. The 28-year-old righty has given up three earned runs across 6.1 innings over four appearances in Triple-A and will likely be limited to low-leverage situations in the majors. Matt Andriese was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
Mar 28 2024The Marlins optioned Faucher to Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher had been projected to be a part of the Marlins' Opening Day bullpen, but Miami's acquisition Wednesday of right-hander Burch Smith likely left Faucher on the outside looking in for a spot on the 26-man active roster. The 28-year-old right-hander should handle a key late-inning role with New Orleans and will look to impress at Triple-A with the hope of making his Miami debut at some point this season.
Feb 28 2024Faucher (biceps) is scheduled to make a relief appearance in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Astros, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher, whom the Marlins acquired from Tampa Bay in November, closed the 2023 season on the 60-day injured list after developing right biceps tendinitis in mid-August. He hasn't faced any apparent limitations in spring training, however, as he'll be making his second Grapefruit League appearance Wednesday after he gave up three runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk while retiring two batters in Sunday's 6-3 loss to the Nationals. Faucher projects to fill a middle-relief role out of the Miami bullpen.
Nov 14 2023Faucher (biceps) was designated for assignment by the Rays on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher finished the 2023 season on the 60-day injured list because of lingering biceps tendinitis and posted a rough 7.01 ERA in 25.2 innings when healthy. He is no longer part of the club's 40-man roster mix.
Sep 23 2023The Rays recalled Faucher (biceps) from Triple-A Durham and placed him on the 60-day injured list Saturday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher has been dealing with biceps tendinitis since late August, and his move to the 60-day IL will free a spot on the 40-man roster for Raimel Tapia, who was selected from Triple-A on Saturday. Faucher logged a 7.01 ERA and 1.68 WHIP through 25.2 innings in the majors this season and will now focus on getting ready for the start of the 2024 campaign.
Jul 30 2023Faucher was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Sunday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher was roughed up for six runs over two innings Saturday in Houston, and the outing will cost him his spot on the big-league roster. Erasmo Ramirez had his contract selected in a corresponding move.
Jul 19 2023The Rays recalled Faucher from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher will provide Tampa Bay with a fresh arm in relief for what's expected to be a bullpen day in Wednesday's series finale in Texas. Over 19 innings with the big club this season, Faucher has pitched to a 5.21 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 16:11 K:BB.
Jun 27 2023The Rays reinstated Faucher (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Durham. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher began a rehab assignment in rookie ball Monday, but the Rays will decide to keep Faucher in their farm system rather than have him rejoin the bullpen. The 27-year-old righty holds a 5.21 ERA and 1.58 WHIP through 19 innings this season and could return to the majors later this year if he performs well in Triple-A.
Jun 7 2023Faucher was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right elbow inflammation, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher last pitched Monday, throwing a scoreless inning of relief in a 4-1 win over Boston. He'll be eligible to return later this month, though the Rays aren't yet providing a timeline for Faucher to be activated just yet.
Apr 30 2023Tampa Bay optioned Faucher to Triple-A Durham on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Javy Guerra reporting to the Rays on Sunday after being acquired from Milwaukee, Faucher's demotion is necessary to create room on the 26-man roster. Faucher had been serving as an opener of late for Tampa Bay and had allowed a run in all but one of his appearances in April while registering a 6.43 ERA and 11:6 K:BB across 14 innings. He could be back with Tampa Bay in the coming weeks when the big club requires a fresh arm.
Apr 28 2023Faucher will serve as the opener for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Faucher will open the game and work the first inning or two, and Yonny Chirinos will then get the bulk innings after. Because he won't get deep enough to qualify for a win, Faucher shouldn't be considered as a fantasy streamer even as a starter.
Apr 27 2023Faucher (0-1) took the loss Wednesday, giving up one run on one hit and two walks over two innings as the Rays fell 1-0 to the Astros. He struck out one. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Houston plated a run in the top of the first inning thanks in part to a wild pitch and an error, and that proved to be the game's only bit of offense, saddling Faucher with the loss. The right-hander gave way to Josh Fleming after 43 pitches (23 strikes), and there's no guarantee Faucher continues to see regular work as an opener ahead of the southpaw given his struggles. Through 12.2 innings this season, he has a 5.68 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB, and he's been scored upon in six straight appearances.
