David Bednar maintains his ninth-inning grip in New York despite recent ratio struggles, offering high save upside.
David Bednar remains the primary closer for the second-place Yankees, who boast a strong 36-25 record. Over his last 14 days, Bednar has a 0.00 ERA and two saves, showing a nice rebound after his 30-day ERA ballooned to 6.70. Bednar continues to lock down the ninth inning as the team's top reliever.
While his current 4.78 ERA looks disappointing compared to his elite 2.27 ERA campaign last year, our models expect positive regression. His strikeout rate remains excellent at 11.55 K/9, and our projections slot him for a 3.46 ERA and 1.15 WHIP with 30 saves. The recent spike in hits allowed should soon subside.
For the rest of the week, the Yankees face Cleveland and Boston. These matchups should yield close games against starters like Slade Cecconi and Sonny Gray, maximizing Bednar's save chances. Our weekly model projects him to preserve leads with robust strikeouts over his remaining appearances. Verdict: Start.
