Bednar picked up the save Tuesday against the Twins. He allowed a solo homer while striking out one over an inning.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander surrendered a deep shot to Trevor Larnach with one out in the ninth inning but settled in to retire the next two batters, locking down a Yankees win and his 25th save. Since arriving at the deadline, Bednar has been solid in pinstripes, compiling a 2.75 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, eight saves, three wins and three blown saves across 17 outings.

Bednar worked a perfect ninth inning Saturday without striking out a batter to record his 24th save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander collected his seventh save in 10 attempts since joining the Yankees, needing only seven pitches (five strikes) to get the job done. Bednar has been scored upon only twice in his last 15 appearances in pinstripes, posting a 1.59 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB in 17 innings over that stretch.

Bednar struck out two batters in a perfect ninth inning to collect his 23rd save of the season Friday against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Bednar had a three-run lead to work with when he entered in the ninth inning, but the 30-year-old reliever didn't give up an inch en route to tallying his sixth save in a Yankees uniform. After collecting a save in each of his last three appearances, it appears Bednar has emerged as the preferred ninth-inning option for manager Aaron Boone down the stretch.

Bednar allowed a hit in a scoreless inning and earned a save against the Blue Jays on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bednar worked around a one-out single by Nathan Lukes to close out the 4-3 victory. It was Bednar's fifth save since joining the Yankees and 22nd of the year in 25 chances. He's allowed one run over his last 7.1 innings, dropping his season ERA to 2.47 through 54.2 frames. Bednar earned saves Saturday and Sunday, and he's pitched in three of the last four games. The Yankees are off Monday before starting a three-game home series against Detroit on Tuesday.

Bednar earned a save against the Blue Jays on Saturday, striking out three batters over 1.1 perfect innings.

EDGE Analysis

Bednar was called upon in the eighth inning with two outs and a runner on first base. He threw a wild pitch but was able to fan Nathan Lukes to get out of the frame unscathed. The veteran closer then returned for the ninth and retired the side in order to close out the win for New York. This was Bednar's first successful save since Aug. 16, though he picked up two wins over five games in the interim. Since joining the Yankees at the trade deadline, Bednar has gone 4-for-7 in save opportunities but has posted a solid 2.87 ERA with a 25:6 K:BB across 15.2 frames spanning 13 appearances.

Bednar (4-5) picked up the win after blowing the save in Wednesday's 6-4 extra-inning victory over the Rays, coughing up two runs on two hits and a walk in the ninth inning. He struck out three.

EDGE Analysis

Called upon to protect a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the ninth, Bednar struck out the side, but not before serving up a two-run double to Hunter Feduccia. The right-hander then backed into the win when the Yankees slugged a couple more homers in the top of the 10th off Tampa Bay closer Pete Fairbanks. The stumble ended a seven-appearance scoreless streak for Bednar, but the blown save was his third since he was dealt to New York at the trade deadline, against three successful conversions. Devin Williams secured the save in the 10th inning, and the Yankees' closer role still appears unsettled with September rapidly approaching.

Bednar secured the save in Saturday's 12-8 win over the Cardinals, retiring the only batter he faced.

EDGE Analysis

Bednar came on with two runners aboard and two outs in the bottom of the ninth and sat down Ivan Herrera to close out a high-scoring Yankees victory. The right-hander notched his 20th save of the year and third since joining New York, including saves on back-to-back nights this weekend.

Bednar picked up the save Friday against St. Louis, striking out two in a clean ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Bednar registered his 19th save of the year and his second as a member of the Yankees, also turning in his fifth scoreless outing in a row. Fellow high-leverage arm Camilo Doval has a poor 6.35 ERA over seven appearances in August, and Devin Williams also owns a pitiful 9.64 ERA across five outings this month. While that does appear to position Bednar as New York's current favorite for saves, he'll continue to have plenty of competition for the closer role that also includes Luke Weaver.

Bednar (3-5) picked up the win Saturday after blowing the save, walking one batter and striking out two over 1.2 scoreless innings in a 5-4 victory over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

With the Yankees protecting a 4-2 lead, Camilo Doval entered the game in the eighth inning and made a mess, although a pair of errors didn't help matters. Bednar was brought in with one run already across and the bases loaded, and he promptly walked Christian Walker to tie the game before escaping the frame with no further damage. Trent Grisham's solo shot in the bottom of the eighth then put Bednar in line for the win. New York's high-leverage situation remains fluid, to put it charitably, but Bednar's 3.00 ERA and 10:3 K:BB over six innings since joining the team seems to have him at the top of the pecking order for save chances at the moment.

Bednar struck out five batters over 1.2 scoreless innings Wednesday, giving up one hit and two walks, to record his 18th save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The trade-deadline acquisition collected his first save in pinstripes with the rest of the Yankees' high-leverage crew having seen heavy usage lately -- Devin Williams, Luke Weaver and Camilo Doval all pitched both Monday and Tuesday, forcing Bednar to throw 42 pitches (25 strikes) Wednesday to get the job done. That said, Williams has been struggling again of late, getting tagged for runs in four straight outings and taking two blown saves and a loss in his last three. If he gets removed from the closer role again, Bednar might be the next man up, although Weaver has been very effective of late with a 2.13 ERA, 0.71 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB over his last 12.2 innings. Despite the team's efforts to bring in help, the back of the Yankees' bullpen appears to be just as unsettled as ever.
