Stott leads Phillies to 6-4 comeback victory over Braves

Bryson Stott homered, doubled and drove in five runs to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 6-4 comeback victory over the Atlanta Braves

Escapes with fourth save Dominguez walked three batters and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his fourth save of the season in a 2-1 win over the Marlins.

Impact The right-hander loaded the bases with only one out, but Dominguez was able to get Jesus Sanchez to hit a grounder that resulted in a force out at home before fanning Miguel Rojas to end the game. With Corey Knebel potentially back in the save mix along with Brad Hand, Dominguez can't afford many more performances like this if he wants to remain part of the Phillies' ninth-inning committee.

Earns third save Dominguez picked up the save in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Nationals. He allowed zero baserunners while striking out one over one inning.

Impact Dominguez entered in the ninth with a two-run lead and retired Cesar Hernandez, Juan Soto and Josh Bell in order en route to his third save in four opportunities. The right hander continues to split closing duties with Brad Hand -- who operated in the eighth inning -- but the fact that Dominguez was trusted to face the Nationals tough lefties may be a sign that he's the go-to guy moving forward.

Takes loss in relief Dominguez (4-2) took the loss Saturday against the Cardinals, allowing a run on one hit while striking out two and walking none across 1.1 innings.

Impact Dominguez gave up the game-winning run in the top of the ninth inning on a solo shot from Nolan Arenado. After Corey Knebel lost the closing job, Dominguez appeared to be in the running for save opportunities, but may have hurt his chances in Saturday's performance. The reliever still has a solid 1.80 ERA, but will need to pitch well to command his manager's confidence in close games.

Collects second save Dominguez threw a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Padres.

Impact Four Phillies relievers each threw a perfect inning Saturday, including Corey Knebel (seventh) and Brad Hand (eighth) prior to Dominguez closing things out. Ten days into the new closer committee in Philadelphia, Dominguez has two saves and a hold in four scoreless appearances over 3.2 innings, while Hand is 2-for-3 in save chances and the former closer Knebel has just one hold. With a dominant 1.63 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 35:7 K:BB across 27.2 innings, Dominguez has the best overall numbers of the high-leverage group, and if he can keep it going, he could pull away with the closing duties.

Picks up first save Dominguez pitched a perfect inning to earn a save against the Nationals on Saturday.

Impact For the second straight day, Brad Hand got a save chance with the Phillies ahead in the ninth inning. Unlike in his previous opportunity, Hand blew the opportunity, yielding a run to allow the game to go into extra frames. Dominguez was then called upon to close the contest after Philadelphia scored in the top of the 10th, and he came through by retiring all three Nationals batters he faced on 10 pitches. Hand has been the closer of choice thus far since the demotion of Corey Knebel out of the role, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the pendulum swing toward Dominguez given how things shook out Saturday.

Pitches clean eighth inning Dominguez picked up his 10th hold of the year in Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader against the Nationals,

Impact The Phillies are using a closer committee for now, and while Dominguez's underlying numbers suggest he's been easily the Phillies' most dominant reliever this year, it was instead Brad Hand who got the save while Dominguez pitched in the eighth inning. Dominguez seemingly had the toughest assignment, as he faced the middle third of the Nationals' order while Hand came in against the bottom third, and he did his job admirably, getting Nelson Cruz and Josh Bell to strike out before retiring Maikel Franco on a flyout. It's possible Dominguez continues to face the toughest part of the opposing order regardless of whether that comes in the ninth inning or an earlier frame.

Likely part of closer committee Dominguez is expected to be part of a closer committee for the foreseeable future after interim manager Rob Thomson said Wednesday that Corey Knebel has been removed from the ninth...

Impact The closing change comes after Knebel blew his fourth save of the season in Tuesday's 11-9 loss to the Marlins while walking two batters and allowing three unearned runs. Thomson didn't explicitly say which relievers would be part of the closing committee while Knebel is used in lower-leverage spots, but Dominguez and Brad Hand look to be the clear top two candidates to pick up saves. Hand has more extensive closing experience and sports a 1.96 ERA over 18.1 innings this season, but Dominguez seemingly profiles as the higher-upside arm at this stage of their respective careers. After missing much of the past two seasons due to injury, the hard-throwing righty has generated a 1.88 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 26.9 K-BB% across 24 frames in 2022. Though Hand may be the higher-priority waiver pickup if the Phillies place more value on his prior resume as a closer, Dominguez still looks to be worthy of a flier in his own right.

Aguilar leads Marlins to wild comeback victory over Phillies

Picks up win Monday Dominguez (4-1) struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the win Monday versus the Marlins.

Impact Dominguez did his part to keep the score tied at 2-2, and Rhys Hoskins lifted the Phillies to the win with a walkoff single in the bottom of the ninth inning. It's been over a month of dominance for Dominguez, who extended his scoreless streak to 14 innings, a span in which he's allowed six hits and five walks while picking up 19 strikeouts. Closer Corey Knebel (shoulder) doesn't appear likely to miss an extended length of time, but Dominguez should be in the mix for save chances in the interim. He's posted a 1.54 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 30:7 K:BB with 10 holds in 23.1 innings this year.

Throws another scoreless inning Dominguez gave up two hits in a scoreless inning Thursday against the Padres.

Impact Dominguez has now held the opposition scoreless in nine of his last 10 outings and owns a 2.45 ERA and 30.5 percent strikeout rate on the year. Closer Corey Knebel hasn't been fully convincing this season, as his strikeout rate has dropped to 21.2 percent and he's blown a pair of saves, but his job still appears safe enough for now due to his 3.38 ERA. If he falters, Dominguez could be a candidate to take over the role, though he isn't necessarily ahead of Brad Hand, Jeurys Familia or Jose Alvarado, all of whom have closer experienced and have been used in high-leverage spots this season.

Bohm apologizes for F-bomb, errors after Phillies top Mets

Having strong spring Dominguez has allowed one run on three hits in four innings this spring, striking out eight batters while walking none.

Impact Dominguez saved 16 games with a 2.95 ERA and a 32.0 percent strikeout rate as a rookie back in 2018, but he took a step back in 2019 before missing most of the last two seasons due to Tommy John surgery, throwing just a single inning late last year. His past experience in the ninth inning made him look like a dark horse closer candidate at the start of the offseason, but the additions of Corey Knebel, Brad Hand and Jeurys Familia pushed him down the depth chart. If he carries his spring form into the regular season, however, it's not out of the question that he could quickly rise back up the ranks.

Can Castellanos, Schwarber help Phillies end playoff drought?

Can Castellanos, Schwarber help Phillies end playoff drought?

No arbitration necessary Dominguez and the Phillies agreed to a one-year, $725,000 deal Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

Impact Dominguez lost almost two full seasons to Tommy John surgery, returning to throw just a single inning late in the 2021 season. If he's back to being his former self heading into next season, he could be a weapon at the back of the Phillies' bullpen, as he owns a career 3.23 ERA and 30.2 percent strikeout rate in 83.2 innings at the highest level.
