Kirby Yates Seals the Deal Against Tigers
by Chase Davis | Rangers Correspondent | Fri, Apr 19th 9:03am EDT
Kirby Yates delivered a solid performance, allowing just one hit and striking out one in 1.1 innings to notch a save as the Rangers edged out the Detroit Tigers 9-7 on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing continues a stellar season for Yates, who maintains a 0.00 ERA and a 0.46 WHIP over his first 8.2 innings. His ability to suppress runs while maintaining a high strikeout rate (10.4 K/9) and a superb strikeout-to-walk ratio (5.00) makes him an increasingly reliable option in fantasy leagues, especially in categories of saves and ERA. Given his consistent performance and role in high-pressure situations, Yates should be considered a valuable asset in most fantasy formats, particularly those that reward saves and holds.
