Clay Holmes clinches save in Yankees' shutout victory
by Chris Schommer | Mets Correspondent | Sat, Aug 24th 6:44am EDT
Clay Holmes secured the save with a nearly spotless inning, allowing no hits and striking out one in the Yankees' 3-0 win over the Rockies.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite issuing a walk, Holmes maintained control and added another save to his tally, bringing his season total to 27. His performance this season, characterized by a solid 2.77 ERA and a high strikeout rate of 10.4 K/9, continues to make him a reliable option for saves in fantasy leagues, although his 10 blown saves might raise some eyebrows. His ability to strike out batters at a high rate, coupled with a decent ERA and FIP, should keep him in the role of closer despite some inconsistencies. Fantasy managers should continue to deploy Holmes with confidence in save situations, keeping an eye on his walk rates and any shifts in his usage pattern by the Yankees.
