Outlook David Bednar
David Bednar continues to anchor the Yankees' bullpen with elite late-inning work
Bednar has locked down recent high-leverage situations effectively, allowing no runs with four strikeouts over his last 5.2 innings. The Yankees sit in second place in the AL East with a 57-45 record and rely on him as the primary closer in their bullpen. Even with multiple injuries impacting the pitching staff, his role as the team's ninth-inning option remains secure.
His current performance aligns closely with our season projections, maintaining a 2.69 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP across 40.1 innings while racking up 18 saves. The elite strikeout upside and strong control demonstrated over the past month suggest this recent success is a sustainable baseline rather than a fluke.
The Yankees face a busy seven-game week beginning with a home set against the Pirates before traveling to face the Phillies. Bednar is projected for a solid workload including around 6 innings and approximately 3.9 strikeouts while targeting a save opportunity. Start.

Outlook Freddy Peralta
Freddy Peralta struggles to find consistency as trade deadline approaches
Freddy Peralta has experienced a rough stretch on the mound over his last 30 days, posting a 5.97 ERA and a 1.81 WHIP while collecting 27 strikeouts across 22.6 innings. The Mets currently sit in fifth place in the NL East with a 43-60 record and a one-game losing streak. Despite the bullpen missing several arms due to injuries like Clay Holmes and Austin Warren, Peralta remains firmly entrenched as the number one starter in the starting rotation.
His recent struggles mark a noticeable departure from his usual standards, as his overall season ERA sits at an elevated 5.02 with a 1.50 WHIP through 21 starts. While our season projection anticipates stabilization toward a 3.54 ERA and a 1.16 WHIP over 168 innings, his current run prevention metrics suggest a degree of regression that makes him a risky option until he can locate his pitches more efficiently.
Peralta is scheduled for a two-start week, beginning with a tough road matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers and Jacob Misiorowski, who boasts a stellar 1.57 ERA and 0.77 WHIP. He will follow up with a home start against Emmet Sheehan and the Los Angeles Dodgers, an opposing pitcher holding a 5.27 ERA and 1.30 WHIP. Given the heavy ratio risk and challenging opponents on tap, fantasy managers should exercise caution. Sit.
