The bullpen balancing act Yankees face with AL East chase still on
WorldMLB game
The Yankees employed a bullpen strategy in Sunday's win, using an inning each from Brent Headrick, Paul Blackburn, and David Bednar.
This strategy has been used by the Yankees throughout the season, but its sustainability is a concern due to the high workload of relievers like Headrick.
- As the playoffs approach, get used to seeing what the Yankees did in Sunday’s 2-0 win: an inning each from Brent Headrick, Paul Blackburn and David Bednar.
- Actually, if you’ve been paying attention, you’ve seen that trio plenty already this season, and it’s served the Yankees well.
- But the Yankees will also have to decide whether it’s sustainable to keep up this pace, since Headrick has pitched the most games in the majors and entered Sunday ninth in the majors among relievers with 73 1/3 innings pitched.
Key Takeaways
- Brent Headrick has pitched the most games in the majors
- Headrick entered Sunday ninth in the majors among relievers with 73 ¹/₃ innings pitched
- The Yankees used a bullpen strategy with multiple pitchers in Sunday's win
- The Yankees will need to decide if this bullpen strategy is sustainable
