Yankees' closer job could be David Bednar's to lose

Try it free Last year, the Yankees were at Globe Field when Aaron Boone opened up the closer's role with Clay Holmes struggling. Two days later, Luke Weaver got the first chance for a save, nailed it and ran with the job into October. On Tuesday, the Yankees were at Globe Life Field when Boone opened up the closer's role with Devin Williams struggling. One day later, David Bednar got the first chance for a save, nailed it and … well, time will tell. Advertisement The Yankees certainly have more options to close out games this season than they did last year, but Bednar padded his case Wednesday with a gritty five-out save that helped the Yankees avoid an 0-6 road trip. Yankees reliever David Bednar celebrates after earning a 42-pitch save against the Rangers on Aug. 6, 2025. Getty Images 'Honestly, I've just been ready for the phone to ring at any point in the game,' Bednar said. 'With all the guys we got down there, just a lot of talented arms and ready to go whenever. Whenever my name is called, I'm just ready to get as many outs as possible.' Advertisement Bednar has obviously proven he can close games and come back from adversity in Pittsburgh. He was a two-time All-Star and recorded 101 saves with the Pirates. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS But as Williams has shown, closing games in the NL Central and doing it in pinstripes are two different things. And while the Yankees are still trying to get to know Bednar, having him be adamant about wanting to stay in the game to finish off Wednesday's save on 42 pitches also goes a long way in telling them about the reliever. Advertisement Yankees reliever Devin Williams reacts during the eighth inning against the Rangers on Aug. 5, 2025. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect 'I love that mentality,' Boone said. 'That's who he's been. … You do your background work on him a little bit and hear some of the makeup reports on him and hear who he is, coupled with what we've gotten to know this week. This is a guy that [is], 'Give me the ball, let's go.' He's been a lot of fun to be around here this first week. We're excited to have him obviously.' Bednar's first appearance as a Yankee included giving up a pair of runs that tied the game in Friday's 13-12 disaster of a loss in Miami. But since he came back out for a second inning of work that night, he has been much sharper and looks comfortable in his new environment. Now comes the hard part of trying to do it again when the Yankees return to The Bronx this weekend. It is possible that the Yankees stay away from Bednar on Friday, coming off his 42-pitch outing, and turn to Weaver or Camilo Doval if they are in a position to close out a game. Advertisement But so far, Bednar looks the part. 'Every time you take the mound, the objective is the same,' Bednar said. 'But the position that we're in is really exciting. I'm really excited to be part of it.'

Mets rise to the occasion for win over Braves after scary Griffin Canning injury
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free The Mets officially began the second half of their 162-game schedule Thursday night, and they did so by once again picking each other up in the face of injury. The depleted pitching staff lost another starter — this time Griffin Canning — to a scary injury in the third inning, but the Mets still managed a split of their four-game series against the Braves with their second straight win following a 1-10 stretch, a crisp 4-0 combined shutout at Citi Field. Advertisement Four relievers filled the void left by Canning's departure with a combined for 6 ¹/₃ scoreless frames for the Mets, who will get third baseman Mark Vientos back from the injured list for Friday's opener of a three-game series in Pittsburgh. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said he was awaiting test results on Canning, but it is believed to be an Achilles injury. Despite dropping 10 of 11 before posting a 7-3 win Wednesday night over Atlanta, the Mets have moved back into first place in the NL East with a 48-34 record, a half-game ahead of the Phillies. Advertisement 4 Griffin Canning is helped to the dugout in the third inning of the Mets' 4-0 win over the Braves on June 26, 2025 after what the team believes is an Achilles injury. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post At the 81-game midpoint of last season, the middling Mets were 40-41, but they went on to finish with 89 wins before losing to the Dodgers in the NLCS. CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS 'Yeah, we got out of the gate and we won a lot of games,' Mendoza said of this year's club. 'Everything was clicking for us, starting pitching, bullpen, offense, a lot of different guys contributing day in and day out, and then we hit a stretch where it was hard. But it's part of it, understanding that we still got a long way to go. Advertisement 'We're just at the halfway point. We know the competition is real in the National League. There's a lot of good teams out there, and we want to continue to grind, continue to get better, continue to go out there and find ways to get the job done because at the end of the day, that's what matters. 4 Jeff McNeil rips a two-run single in the seventh inning of the Mets' win over the Braves. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post 'But overall,' he added, 'I'm very pleased how guys continue to deal with adversity.' That misfortune continued when Canning was forced to depart after one turn through the Braves' batting order. Advertisement With starters Kodai Senga, Tylor Megill and Sean Manaea all on the injured list, Canning left the game after recording the second out of the third inning with what the Mets termed a left-ankle injury. The righty crumbled to the mound on Nick Allen's infield out and needed to be helped to the dugout. 4 Edwin Diaz recorded the final three outs in the Mets' win over the Braves. Robert Sabo for New York Post He was replaced by Triple-A call-up Austin Warren, who kept the Mets in a scoreless game until they pushed across a run against Atlanta starter Grant Holmes in the fourth on Tyrone Taylor's sacrifice fly to right to score Juan Soto, who led off the inning with a walk. After Soto popped out with two runners aboard in the fifth, Pete Alonso picked him up and made it 2-0 with a two-out RBI single to center. The Mets missed an opportunity to extend the lead when Taylor struck out with the bases loaded to end the inning. 4 Pete Alonso rips an RBI single in the third inning of the Mets' win over the Braves. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post It didn't matter. Dedniel Núñez replaced Warren to start the sixth and retired the next six batters, including four consecutive strikeouts. Jeff McNeil added a two-run single with two outs in the seventh for a four-run cushion before Ryne Stanek and Edwin Díaz recorded the final six outs.

Juan Soto homers twice as Mets' offense busts out in much-needed win over Braves
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free A lineup that's been desperate for production — especially from the bottom of the order — finally got it Wednesday, as the Mets scored five runs in the bottom of the fourth of a 7-3 win over Atlanta. The victory was just the Mets' second in their last 12 games, as they've fallen out of first place in the NL East and questions have been raised about just about every aspect of their roster. Advertisement But Juan Soto homered twice, Clay Holmes rebounded from perhaps his worst outing of the season last week in Atlanta to stifle the Braves on Wednesday and the offense took advantage of the youngest player in the majors, Atlanta right-hander Didier Fuentes, a 20-year-old making his second MLB start. They hit the halfway point at 47-34 and knocked the Braves to five games under .500. 5 Juan Soto hits the first of his two solo homers in the Mets' 7-3 win over the Braves on June 25, 2025. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Advertisement CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS About the only thing that went wrong was right-hander Jonathan Pintaro couldn't finish the ninth and Edwin Díaz was forced to close it out. The sizzling Soto got the Mets' five-run fourth going with a 413-foot leadoff homer to center to give them a one-run lead. 5 Ronny Mauricio hits a solo home run in the third inning of the Mets' win over the Braves. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Advertisement He added a second homer to start the eighth, his team-high 19th of the season. After Soto tied the game in the fourth, Alonso was hit by a pitch and went to third on Jeff McNeil's double to left. 5 Clay Holmes, who allowed one run over five innings, picked up the win in the Mets' victory over the Braves. Corey Sipkin for New York Post Starling Marte's sacrifice fly to deep center made it 3-1 and sent McNeil to third. Advertisement With the infield in, Brett Baty singled to right, giving the Mets a 4-1 lead. 5 Francisco Lindor hits a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning of the Mets' win over the Braves. Corey Sipkin for New York Post Ronny Mauricio, who got the Mets on the board in the third inning with a leadoff homer, delivered a base hit, as did Hayden Senger.
