Ryan Helsley Secures Shaky Save in Narrow Victory
by Matthew Adam | Cardinals Correspondent | Tue, Jun 25th 7:12am EDT
Ryan Helsley notched his 27th save despite allowing two runs on two hits and two walks while striking out two in Monday's 4-3 win over the Braves.
Fantasy Impact:
While he managed to close the door, it wasn't the cleanest outing for Helsley, who threw 26 pitches to get through the inning. Despite this performance, his season ERA slightly rose to 2.83, and his WHIP increased to 1.23. Fantasy managers should note that while Helsley's save count is robust, his recent outings have been a bit turbulent, suggesting potential volatility. However, his high strikeout rate (10.8 K/9) and solid overall metrics should keep him as a primary closing option in fantasy leagues, albeit with a cautious eye on his command and any emerging trends in his appearances.
