Michael Tonkin Shines in Extended Save Opportunity

Michael Tonkin delivered a stellar performance, pitching three scoreless innings while allowing just two hits and striking out two to secure a save in the Yankees' 10-2 victory over the White Sox.

Fantasy Impact

This outing not only added a save to his season tally but also showcased his ability to handle longer relief stints effectively. Tonkin's season ERA dipped to an impressive 3.21, complementing his solid 1.15 WHIP and 9.2 K/9 rate. His performance should reassure fantasy managers of his reliability in both holds and save situations, despite a couple of blown saves earlier in the season. Given his ability to strike out batters and manage game situations, Tonkin remains a viable option in leagues that value middle relievers or setup men with potential save opportunities.

Michael Tonkin has mixed outing in narrow Yankees victory

Michael Tonkin allowed one hit and struck out three over two innings, but also logged a blown save in the Yankees' 7-6 win over the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the hiccup of a blown save, Tonkin's ability to strike out batters and limit baserunners was on display, as evidenced by his zero walks and minimal hits allowed. His season-long metrics, including a solid 3.08 ERA and 1.12 WHIP, suggest he remains a reliable option in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly for those in need of strikeouts and ratio help. However, his tendency this season to falter in save situations, now with two blown saves, might make him a risky play in formats heavily penalizing such setbacks.
