Kenley Jansen shuts down Pirates for fifth save
by Chris Schommer | Red Sox Correspondent | Sun, Apr 21st 7:26am EDT
Kenley Jansen delivered a flawless outing, striking out three in a clean inning to secure the save in the Red Sox's 4-2 victory over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance not only added another save to his tally but also showcased his ability to dominate when needed. Despite a somewhat concerning 1.57 WHIP this season, Jansen's high strikeout rate (14.1 K/9) continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories that reward strikeouts and saves. His ability to maintain a low ERA (2.35) and secure saves consistently helps balance the WHIP risk, keeping him relevant in most fantasy formats. However, fantasy managers should keep an eye on his WHIP and walk rates, as they could potentially lead to more volatile outings.
