The save was Lange&#8217;s fourth in the past week, as he appears to be the front-runner as the Royals&#8217; preferred closer at this time. <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"rbPlayer mlb\" data-id=\"668674\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/mlb\/player\/668674\/Lucas+Erceg\">Lucas  Erceg<\/a>, who has been closing games out for the majority of the year, is struggling immensely with a 6.00 ERA and 1.96 WHIP, and has six blown saves. Lange, on the other hand, is now a perfect 4-for-4 in save chances and has a 1.37 WHIP, 3.90 ERA, and 33 strikeouts in 30 innings pitched. Lange has some experience closing out games, dating back to 2023 with the Tigers, where he converted 26 saves and posted a 3.68 ERA and 1.33 WHIP. Considering Lange has recorded four of the last five saves for the Royals and four in the past week, he is becoming a must-add player in all formats where saves are scarce. <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"rbPlayer mlb\" data-id=\"608032\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/mlb\/player\/608032\/Carlos+Est\u00e9vez\">Carlos  Estevez<\/a> (shoulder), who was the Royals&#8217; projected closer coming into the season, has been rehabbing a shoulder and foot injury and doesn&#8217;t appear to be progressing as the Royals had hoped, which should further solidify Lange as the Royals&#8217; reliever to have for the time being.<span class=\"newsByline\">&#8212;<i><a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/author\/roessler_nicho\">Nicho Roessler<\/a><\/i><\/span><br \/><span class=\"newsSource\">Source: <a target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/baseballsavant.mlb.com\/savant-player\/alex-lange-656638?stats=career-r-pitching-mlb\">Baseball Savant<\/a><\/span>\n            <\/div><\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.rotoballer.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alex Lange Earns Another Save for Royals, Quickly Entering Must-Roster Territory Jun 10, 2026, 9:40 AM ET Kansas City Royals&#8217; reliever Alex Lange picked up his fourth save on Tuesday, working one inning, allowing one walk, and recording two strikeouts.
