Kirby Yates Slams Door on Angels, Secures Save
by Chase Davis | Rangers Correspondent | Fri, Sep 6th 8:15am EDT
Kirby Yates delivered a flawless performance, striking out three in a clean inning to notch the save in Thursday's 3-1 victory over the Angels.
Fantasy Impact:
This outing is a textbook example of why Yates is considered a top-tier closer in fantasy leagues. His season ERA now impressively stands at 1.34, complemented by a stellar 0.86 WHIP and a high strikeout rate of 13.1 K/9. Given his consistent ability to shut down opponents and rack up saves, Yates remains an elite fantasy option. His low BABIP of .188 suggests some luck, but his high strikeout numbers and solid ratios indicate that his success is largely skill-based. Fantasy managers should continue to deploy him with confidence in all formats.
