Parker pitched two shutout innings in Wednesday's win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off an extra inning game Tuesday as well, Wednesday's 13 inning tilt forced the Yankees to lean on Parker for multiple innings of work. The 31-year-old responded with a strikeout and did not allow a hit, as he lowered his ERA to 3.60. With rosters set to expand in September and more arms figuring to join the bullpen, Parker may be reduced to more of a lower-leverage role down the stretch.
