2025 Fantasy Outlook

Yates thrived in a full-time closing role for the first time since 2019, racking up 33 saves (7th in the majors) in 34 chances for the Rangers. The veteran reliever also posted seven wins alongside elite ratios, pitching to a 1.17 ERA (2nd among relievers) and 0.83 WHIP (10th) across 61.2 innings. Yates stifled opposing hitters with his low-90's fastball and splitter, allowing a miniscule .111 BAA that was best in the league. His .169 BABIP and 88.1 left-on-base percentage (2nd among relievers) suggests luck was on his side, but Yates' outstanding comeback campaign sets him up for a big payday as a free agent this winter. Just keep in mind that durability is still a concern as he enters his age-38 season, while closing is likely but not guaranteed. Read Past Outlooks
