Ryan Helsley delivered a perfect inning, striking out three to notch a save in the Cardinals' narrow 6-5 victory over the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance was a textbook display of efficiency, utilizing only 12 pitches to retire the side and secure his 46th save of the season. Helsley's latest outing underscores his role as a premier closer in the league, especially considering his solid 2.12 ERA and impressive 10.9 K/9 rate. His ability to maintain a low WHIP (1.13) and a strong strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.35) continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories that reward saves and strikeouts. As the season progresses, Helsley's consistency in high-pressure situations should keep him at the top of the list for fantasy managers needing reliable closing options.
