Yoendrys Gomez Seizes Closer Role in Minnesota, Demanding Fantasy Lineup Attention
Yoendrys Gomez has quickly emerged as the primary ninth-inning option for the third-place Twins (35-40), who enter today on a three-game winning streak. Over his last 30 days, the right-handed reliever has dominated with a 2.25 ERA and 20 strikeouts across 12.0 innings. Following his trade from Tampa Bay in May, he has steadily climbed the bullpen hierarchy to claim the undisputed closer role.
Though our baseline projection forecasted a modest 4.44 ERA and no saves, his underlying metrics paint a much more encouraging picture. Gomez's outstanding 15.00 K/9 rate over the past month confirms his raw stuff can play in high-leverage situations. While his career 1.53 WHIP suggests potential traffic struggles if his control wavers, his secured closing role makes him a priority addition in all fantasy leagues.
For the remainder of the weekly period, the Twins finish a road series against Texas before visiting Arizona. Having already secured a save on Monday, Gomez should find more ninth-inning opportunities in matchups against high-ERA opponents like Jack Leiter (5.13 ERA) and Zac Gallen (5.71 ERA). Lock him in as a active starting option for saves.

Outlook Devin Williams
Devin Williams looks to stay locked in after a stellar stretch, though control issues still loom.
The Mets, sitting fifth in the NL East with a 33-41 record, continue to lean on Devin Williams as their primary closer. Over the last seven days, Williams has been pristine, posting a 0.00 ERA and 0.95 WHIP with four strikeouts across 2.1 innings. Despite some early-season struggles and fan frustration, he remains the unquestioned ninth-inning anchor in New York's bullpen.
While his 5.39 ERA and 1.61 WHIP on the season are far from his elite Milwaukee days, his underlying metrics show promise. Our models project him to settle into a 3.19 ERA and 1.11 WHIP rest-of-season, aligning closer to his positive career baselines. His elite 15.35 K/9 indicates the "Airbender" changeup still has its signature bite, meaning his current ratios should heavily regress.
For the remainder of the week, the Mets face a tough road series against the division-rival Phillies, matching up with formidable starters like Cristopher Sanchez and Zack Wheeler who both boast sub-2.10 ERAs. Williams is projected by our models to pick up more than a save and four strikeouts over his remaining appearances. Start him with confidence as he continues to reclaim his elite form.
