View More NewsDavid Bednar secures save, Pirates top Braves 4-1
David Bednar notched his 11th save of the season, allowing two hits in a scoreless inning as the Pirates defeated the Braves 4-1.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a rocky season with a 6.75 ERA and some inconsistency, Bednar's ability to close games remains evident. His performance in this outing, while not overpowering, was effective enough to secure the win. Bednar's high K/9 rate of 9.7 continues to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues that reward strikeouts, though his elevated ERA and WHIP suggest a risk of volatility. Fantasy managers should consider him a high-risk, high-reward option in the bullpen, particularly in formats that heavily weigh saves.
