Devin Williams’ NYY tenure took another hit in Houston as he walked the bases and allowed the go-ahead run in the eighth, triggering an ejection after a dispute with the ump. Camilo Doval inherited the jam and surrendered a run, and New York fell 8-7. Williams sits 3-6 with a 5.60 ERA through 53 innings, highlighting bullpen instability and late-inning risk for fantasy managers.

Juggling a tight role with mixed results, Williams’ leash shortens for saves or high-leverage innings. The Yankees’ relievers lingered as questions swirl about matchups and strike-zone leverage, impacting fantasy projections for NYY’s late-inning corps the rest of September.

Yankees and Astros kept the playoff-style heat alive as a tense, back-and-forth battle in Houston swung on a bullpen miscue. Devin Williams entered tied 4-4 and allowed four earned runs in 2/3 of an inning, setting up Houston’s late surge and Boone’s ejection in the eighth. Jeremy Peña’s sixth-inning homer flipped momentum, while Cody Bellinger’s ninth-inning blast wasn’t enough to erase the deficit. New York still holds a comfortable wild-card cushion, but the two-game set underscored how title race pressure can tilt late in the season.

Milwaukee barrels toward October with a franchise-best pace, and fans lean into Bob Uecker’s legend as a source of late-season mojo. Milwaukee sits atop MLB with the best record and a seven-game lead in the NL Central, riding a 14-game win streak that produced a flurry of memorable moments. Caleb Durbin, Christian Yelich, Andruw Monasterio and Brandon Woodruff have been central figures as the lineup keeps pecking away and finding big innings. Yelich even leaned into the moment with a Uecker-themed bat and a pair of homers, while Monasterio delivered the 11th-inning go-ahead shot in a win that stretched the streak. Devin Williams has anchored the bullpen, and the club’s playoff folklore—dating back to 2018—remains a talking point as the Brewers consider how their regular-season rhythm translates in October. Amid the celebration of Uecker’s life, the team faces the familiar postseason questions: can they sustain this run, and how do fantasy managers navigate a deep, red-hot Milwaukee lineup with potential shifts in the bullpen and lineup come playoff time?

Brewers fans credit their team’s surge to Uecker magic as Milwaukee sits atop MLB and cars toward October with a franchise-best pace. A tribute to the late Hall of Fame voice anchors a season that has defied expectations, with a seven-game NL Central lead and the best record in baseball.

Milwaukee’s offense has thrived without an All-Star on the roster, riding a tenacious approach that manager Pat Murphy compares to woodpeckers and letting veterans and rookies alike contribute. Caleb Durbin’s rookie spark and Christian Yelich’s power, paired with late-game heroics from Andruw Monasterio and clutch bullpen work from Devin Williams and the staff, have fueled a 14-game win streak and a historic run that could redefine the franchise’s postseason narrative.

The road to October comes with questions: can the regular-season magic translate to the playoffs after years of short series heartbreak? Milwaukee has remade its identity from a streaky team into a relentless, pressure-filled lineup that thrives in close moments, even as memories of 2018 linger. Uecker’s memory—and the crowd’s belief—keep fueling the Brew Crew as they chase the sport’s ultimate prize.

Dodgers bullpen woes loom as they completed a weekend sweep of the Padres but stumbled against the Rockies on Monday. With several relievers on rehab, the club leans on a potential late-game shift led by a call-up for Bobby Miller, should health delay return of the next pieces. Tanner Scott’s live-batting-practice update brings a spark of optimism, while Michael Kopech’s rehab looks uneven and may delay his impact. LA reportedly eyes Devin Williams on a one-year deal to re-establish relief value, a familiar Dodgers habit. Until health returns, the path to bullpen reliability remains tense and unsettled for fantasy managers navigating saves, holds, and bullpen win potential.
