Kirby Yates | Fantasy Outlook

Kirby Yates' grip on the closer role in Los Angeles is slipping as his ratios waver.

The last-place Angels (30-45) are on a one-game losing streak and continue to shuffle late-inning options. While Kirby Yates maintained a 0.00 ERA and a 0.50 WHIP over his last two appearances, he took two losses and has struggled to close out games. Though management previously backed him, the active depth chart now lists Ryan Zeferjahn as the primary closer, leaving Yates' high-leverage role highly volatile.

Over the last 30 days, Yates has posted a 3.91 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP, aligning closely with our rest-of-season projection of a 3.79 ERA and 1.21 WHIP. However, our models project him for zero additional saves, indicating a high likelihood of regression in terms of high-leverage opportunities. The veteran still flashes strong strikeout stuff with a 12.34 K/9, but he is no longer a reliable source of saves.

The remaining weekly schedule features four road games against the Athletics, which could offer save opportunities if the bullpen situation is clarified. However, given his tenuous grasp on ninth-inning duties and our expectation of zero future saves, he is too risky to activate in standard formats. We recommend sitting Yates until his role in the bullpen stabilizes.
