PT TOMORROW: NL East—Is Neris' role safe?

With the first glance at the back of the Phillies bullpen, all seems relatively well. Hector Neris (RHP, PHI) is the incumbent stopper, coming off a solid-but-unspectacular first season in the closer’s chair. Neris is 28 years old, was throwing 95 by the end of 2017, and possesses a knockout secondary pitch—a disappearing splitter that garnered swings and misses a full one-quarter of the time he threw it (25% SwK).
