Three multi-run outings in a row, 1.62 WHIP, fastball velocity down 1.3 mph from 2025. Closer Monkey is increasingly concerned. Hold for now but Luke Weaver / Whitlock are worth preemptive deep-league claims.

Second blown save Monday — gave up the game-tying HR to Tyrone Taylor. Fastball velocity is 95.8 mph (down from 97.1 last year). Hold for now but Luke Weaver / Garrett Whitlock-style backups are worth speculating on if you have an RP slot to burn.

Runs allowed in 5 of 8 recent appearances. .364 BABIP masks ugly underlying metrics. Drop in standard formats; the Yankees may turn to a committee setup soon.
