Kenley Jansen seals the deal in tight Sox victoryJuly 27, 2024 | 02:46 AM

Kenley Jansen notched his 20th save of the season, allowing two hits and striking out two in a scoreless inning as the Red Sox edged the Yankees 9-7 on Friday. Writer's Analysis: This performance underlines Jansen's role as a reliable closer for Boston, despite a somewhat rocky outing with those two hits allowed. His season ERA now improves slightly, reinforcing his fantasy relevance in leagues where saves and strikeouts are gold. However, his WHIP this season suggests potential volatility, so while he remains a solid option for saves, fantasy managers should keep an eye on his outings for any signs of inconsistency.
