Paul Blackburn | Fantasy Outlook

Paul Blackburn thrives in multi-inning relief for the surging Yankees

Blackburn has been an exceptional arm out of the bullpen lately, sporting a 0.70 ERA and 14 strikeouts across 12.8 innings over the last 30 days. Operating as a reliable middle reliever for a second-place Yankees club (83-62) riding a two-game winning streak, his consistent innings have helped steady the relief corps with Fernando Cruz sidelined on the injured list.

The veteran right-hander has revitalized his career with a remarkable 1.91 ERA and 1.15 WHIP through 70.2 frames this year, far outpacing our preseason projection of a 4.37 ERA. While some ratio regression toward his career norms is inevitable given his pitch-to-contact profile, his transition to a bullpen role has unlocked better command and sharper velocity.

Looking ahead to the rest of the week, the Yankees wrap up their set against Colorado before hosting a three-game Subway Series with the Mets. Because Blackburn is locked into middle relief behind closer David Bednar and pitched Wednesday, his save and strikeout volume remain too limited for standard formats. Sit.
