New York Yankees: The Yankees have Devin Williams (RHP, NYY) at closer and Luke Weaver (RHP, NYY) behind him.

| Williams, Devin | 5 | 3 | 18 | 2.55 | 1.06 | 39% | 27% | 0.5 |
| Doval, Camilo | 1 | 5 | 20 | 3.03 | 1.35 | 31% | 18% | 0.9 |
| Weaver, Luke | 0 | 5 | 18 | 3.61 | 1.06 | 29% | 20% | 1.0 |

| Bird, Jake | 0 | 3 | 18 | 3.66 | 1.50 | 26% | 14% | 1.0 |
