Williams earned the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over Atlanta, allowing a run on one hit while striking out one in the ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Williams would give up a 456-foot blast to Ronald Acuna to lead off the ninth before settling in and retiring the next three batters in order. While Williams has given up a run in back-to-back outings, he's converted 10 straight save chances since reclaiming the ninth-inning job in the Bronx. Overall, Williams is up to 14 saves while posting a 4.82 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP and 49:15 K:BB across 37.1 innings this season.

Williams struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to record his 13th save of the season in a 9-6 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

The Airbender has put a shaky start to his tenure in the Bronx firmly behind him. Williams has converted nine straight save chances since moving back into the closer picture in late May, posting a 3.14 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 17:2 K:BB over his 14.1 innings, and he's been charged with runs in only one of his last 11 appearances. Given Luke Weaver's current struggles, Williams would seem to have a firm grip on the ninth-inning role for the Yankees.

Williams earned the save in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Mets, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was called upon to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning and did so efficiently on just 15 pitches. It was a strong rebound for the 30-year-old after allowing two runs in a loss Wednesday, and he's now converted eight straight saves while handling all three save opportunities since Luke Weaver returned from the injured list June 20. On the season, he's 12-for-13 in save chances with a 5.01 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 41:14 K:BB across 32.1 innings.

Williams earned the save in Friday's 3-0 win over the Athletics, striking out one batter in a perfect ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Williams had another strong outing out of the bullpen, using 15 pitches (11 strikes) to retire the side. The 30-year-old closer has registered six saves in June and has not yielded a run over his last eight outings. Williams now sports a 4.75 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 38:12 K:BB across 30.1 innings this season, and for the time being, he appears to be the Yankees' preferred closer over Luke Weaver.

Williams earned the save in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Orioles, allowing one hit and no walks with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Aaron Boone indicated Friday that Williams would share save opportunities with Luke Weaver, but it was Williams who got the call to protect a two-run lead in the ninth, needing just 14 pitches to close it out. Over his past 10 appearances, the 30-year-old has been a perfect 6-for-6 in save chances with a stellar 11:0 K:BB. While his season line remains an underwhelming 5.08 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 37:12 K:BB across 28.1 innings, his recent dominance has certainly positioned him as a strong ninth-inning option.

Aaron Boone said Friday that Williams and Luke Weaver will both receive save opportunities, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has turned things around after allowing 12 runs in his first 10 appearances this season, notching a 2.79 ERA in 19.1 innings since. He saw extended action at closer recently while Weaver was on the shelf and impressed enough to earn a share of the save chances even though Weaver is healthy. It's not clear exactly how ninth-inning duties will be divvied up, so fantasy managers should keep a keen eye on both Williams and Weaver moving forward.

Williams picked up the save after working a clean ninth inning, striking out one, during Thursday's 1-0 win over the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

It's been a roller-coaster season for Williams working through a bad start and a fluctuating role. The injury to Luke Weaver (hamstring) has allowed the 30-year-old to return the closer role where he's most comfortable, and he's done a good job since, closing out all three games he's been asked to. He's now up to nine saves on the year along with 32 strikeouts, a 1.30 WHIP and a 5.68 ERA in 25.1 innings pitched.

Williams notched the save in Wednesday's 6-3 victory over the Royals, recording the final two outs while fanning one.

EDGE Analysis

The Royals made things interesting by scoring three runs in the ninth inning, which prompted manager Aaron Boone to summon Williams to put out the fire and earn his eighth save of the year. The 30-year-old right-hander is currently functioning as New York's closer while Luke Weaver (hamstring) sits on the injured list, and the former is slowly rounding into form following a dreadful start to the year. Over his last 12.2 innings, Williams owns a 2.13 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 18:2 K:BB with four saves.

Williams earned the save in Friday's 9-6 win over the Red Sox, striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was called upon to protect a three-run lead in the ninth and worked around a hit-by-pitch to secure his second straight save since reclaiming the closer role. While his season line remains rough at a 6.08 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 30:12 K:BB across 23.2 innings, the 30-year-old has allowed runs in just three of 15 appearances since the start of May. With Luke Weaver (hamstring) sidelined for several weeks, he has a chance to reclaim the ninth-inning job for good.

Williams gave up a run on two hits while striking out one in the ninth inning Tuesday to record his sixth save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

With Luke Weaver (hamstring) on the shelf, Williams is being given another crack at the closer role, but he once again struggled to get the job done. The right-hander served up a one-out double to Carlos Santana before pinch hitter Daniel Schneemann pulled a changeup into right field for an RBI single, and Williams ultimately needed 30 pitches (22 strikes) to escape the frame. He has been pitching better of late, posting a 1.80 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB over the 10 innings prior to Tuesday's appearance, but the Yankees do have options like Mark Leiter and Fernando Cruz available if Williams' April issues return.
