Johnson struck out one in a perfect sixth inning Monday to record his ninth hold of the season in a win over the Royals.

Johnson has a 2.67 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 36:10 K:BB through 33.2 innings this season with a win, a save and seven holds in 36 appearances.
Scouting Report
Has great movement on his fastball, plus enough off-speed pitches to keep hitters off-kilter. Owns a solid frame for the big leagues. Needs to strengthen his legs, since he already has a history of lower-body issues. Could stand to improve his changeup for best results in MLB.
Long Range Potential: Inconsistent reliever.
