- Fantasy baseball: Which pitchers are MVPs, LVPs of 2026?
Eric Karabell looks back on the fantasy baseball season and hands out his MVPs and LVPs for pitchers.
ESPN · Sep 29
Varland earned the save in Friday's 6-5 win over the Reds, striking out two batters in a scoreless ninth inning.
The Blue Jays grabbed the lead thanks to a four-run seventh inning, and Varland shut the door on the Reds in the ninth, striking out the first and last batter he faced in the frame. He's fanned two batters in five of his last six outings, and his 35 saves on the season are tied with David Bednar and Aroldis Chapman for fifth-most in the majors. Varland also sports a 1.27 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 78 innings.

Varland earned the save in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Tigers, retiring all three batters he faced with two strikeouts in a scoreless ninth inning.
After Spencer Miles gave up a single and a walk to open the ninth, the Blue Jays turned to Varland who promptly recorded the final three outs, locking down his 34th save this season. It was a nice rebound effort from Varland, who gave up a run in a blown save against Detroit his last time out. The right-hander now sports a 1.30 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP and 95:22 K:BB across 76 innings this season.

Varland (5-6) was charged with the blown save and the loss Monday against the Tigers, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out two batters over 1.2 innings.
Varland got the call with one out in the eighth inning after Detroit put two runners on base. The All-Star closer struck out Dillon Dingler to put himself in position to escape the jam, but Brett Callahan followed with an RBI single to tie the score. Varland then managed to get the third out, but he yielded the go-ahead run in the ninth and ultimately took the loss. The blown save was just the second of the season in 35 attempts for Varland, who had converted nine consecutive saves while allowing just one earned run over 14.2 innings across his previous 14 appearances. He still has an outstanding 1.32 overall ERA this season and is in no danger of losing his closer role.

Varland earned a save against the Royals on Saturday, striking out one batter in one perfect inning.
Varland had no wiggle room when he entered in the ninth inning tasked with protecting a one-run lead. The right-hander didn't flinch, retiring the side in order on 13 pitches (10 strikes). Varland registered his 11th straight appearance without an earned run, and he's gone 9-for-9 in save opportunities while recording a 13:3 K:BB across 12 innings during that span. He entered the campaign without a single save to his ledger over 112 career regular-season MLB appearances, but Varland has blossomed as Toronto's closer in 2026, as he ranks fourth in the majors with 33 saves in 34 chances.

Varland earned the save in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Guardians, allowing a hit and a walk while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.
Varland managed to strand a pair of baserunners in the ninth to log his eighth consecutive save and 32nd of the season, which is tied for fourth most in the majors. Varland's ERA is down to a pristine 1.16 across 69.2 innings with a 0.99 WHIP and 86:19 K:BB.
