Ryan Helsley notched a save in a clean inning as the Cardinals edged out the Cubs 5-4.
Fantasy Impact:
He threw nine pitches, allowing no hits, walks, or runs, and did not record a strikeout. This performance underscores Helsley's role as a reliable closer for St. Louis, boosting his save tally to 34 for the season. His ability to shut down opponents without allowing base runners enhances his fantasy value, particularly in leagues that reward saves and WHIP. Despite a lack of strikeouts in this outing, his season K/9 remains impressive. Fantasy managers should continue to view Helsley as a solid option for saves and strikeouts, contributing positively to ERA and WHIP categories.
