Tepera stepped in as one of the Angels' second-half co-closers last season, tallying five saves over the final two months after Raisel Iglesias was traded. The veteran barely gave up hard contact, as his 28.2% hard hit rate was among the best in the league. On the flip side, his strikeout rate plummeted more than 10%, from over 30% in the 2020-21 seasons, to just 20.3% last year. Tepera lost 1.3 mph on average from his slider (85.2 mph), which was still his most effective offering, but more hittable (.191 BA) than normal, thus leading to far less Ks. Tepera has one year remaining on his contract with Los Angeles, so if the Angels fall out of playoff contention, look for them to trade the right-hander. In the meantime, he should factor into the team's high-leverage mix to open 2023 with plenty of holds and the occasional save.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
![CHC](https://content.rotowire.com/images/teamlogo/baseball/100CHC.png?v=6)
Attracting Philadelphia's interest
The Phillies are interested in acquiring Tepera from the Cubs, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The righty has a 2.30 ERA dating back to May 12, although each of the six runs he's allowed in that span came in a four-day stretch before he went down with a calf injury. Tepera has 15 holds and just two blown saves this season, so he'd certainly make for an intriguing addition to Philadelphia's bullpen, which is tied for the league lead with 23 blown saves. The Phillies have also inquired about Tepera's teammates Craig Kimbrel and Andrew Chafin.
