Kirby Yates Seals a Shaky Save in Slugfest

Kirby Yates (RP - TEX)

Kirby Yates managed to secure the save despite allowing a run in the Rangers' 12-11 victory over the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact
He threw 19 pitches, surrendered two hits, and struck out one batter. While Yates did notch another save, his performance in this high-scoring affair was less than stellar, slightly tarnishing his otherwise impressive season stats. Despite this, his ERA remains low at 0.56, and his WHIP slightly increased to 0.69, which still positions him among the elite relievers in fantasy leagues. Fantasy managers should continue to deploy Yates with confidence, but they might want to keep an eye on any trend where his control wavers in these high-pressure situations.
