Yankees' Caleb Ferguson: Comes to rescue in relief
Caleb 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 New York 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: Posts first save as Yankee
Caleb 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.New York 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.

The 27-year-old Ferguson will be due $2.4 million this season in his final year of arbitration and is coming off a solid 2023 campaign in which he compiled a 3.43 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 70:23 K:BB to go with seven wins, 17 holds and three saves across 68 appearances spanning 60.1 innings.
