  07/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Astros acquired Ferguson from the Yankees on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Kelly Austin, Jack Curry of YES Network reports. Ferguson will provide the Astros with additional bullpen depth after appearing in 42 games with the Yankees this season. The 27-year-old logged a 5.13 ERA, a 1.50 WHIP and 10 holds across 33.1 innings for New York. He's not expected to see much high-leverage work in Houston.

  06/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ferguson recorded a hold against the Red Sox on Friday by striking out all four batters he faced. Ferguson entered with two runners on base and two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning and finished the frame by fanning Jarren Duran. The lefty reliever returned for the seventh and proceeded to strike out the side on 15 pitches. It was the sixth straight scoreless outing for Ferguson, and he's picked up three holds and a victory while registering an 8:2 K:BB over five innings during that span. He leads the Yankees with 10 holds on the campaign.

• Yankees' Caleb Ferguson: Comes to rescue in relief

  05/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ferguson earned a hold against the White Sox on Friday, striking out one batter in two-thirds of an inning. Fellow reliever Ian Hamilton began the eighth frame for the Yankees but got himself into hot water, allowing three hits to the four batters he faced to yield a run and put the tying runs in scoring position. Ferguson was called upon to put out the fire and did just that, striking out Andrew Benintendi and getting Corey Julks to line out to keep New York's advantage at two runs. Though his ERA still sits at an unappealing 5.74 on the campaign, Ferguson has been one of the Yankees' highest-leverage relievers of late, nailing down four holds over his past 10 appearances. He's posted a 10:3 K:BB across seven innings during that span, and all four of his earned runs during that stretch came in a single outing (May 12 versus Tampa Bay).

• Yankees' Caleb Ferguson: Blows save, takes loss

  04/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ferguson (0-2) yielded three runs (two earned) on two hits against the Guardians on Sunday. He blew a save chance and took a loss while recording just two outs. Ferguson entered a 7-5 game in the 10th inning and allowed Cleveland to secure the walk-off win. He'd allowed just one run through six innings entering Sunday's game but saw his ERA climb to 4.05 after the poor outing. Ferguson has converted one of his two save chances while picking up three holds so far this season.

• Yankees' Caleb Ferguson: Posts first save as Yankee

  04/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  Ferguson earned a save against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, allowing one hit and one walk while striking out two batters over two-thirds of an inning. Yankees closer Clay Holmes couldn't convert a save chance in the bottom of the 10th inning, and he left in the bottom of the 11th with two runners on base and New York clinging to a two-run lead. Ferguson took over and struck out the first batter he faced before allowing a run-scoring single. However, Arizona had previously lost its DH spot and ran through its list of reserve hitters, so Ferguson intentionally walked catcher Gabriel Moreno to load the bases in order to get to Diamondbacks reliever Scott McGough, who was forced to hit. Predictably, McGough struck out looking, and Ferguson walked away with his first save of the campaign. The left-hander nabbed a career-high three saves with the Dodgers last season, but he's not a threat to Holmes' closer role.
