Yankees Acquire Camilo Doval
The New York Yankees are acquiring relief pitcher Camilo Doval from the San Francisco Giants. The 28-year-old has enjoyed an impressive bounce-back season through the first half of 2025. After struggling through most of 2024, holding a hefty 4.88 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP, the right-hander turned in a strong 3.09 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP through 46 2/3 innings this season. The 28-year-old has tallied 15 saves and struck out 50 batters. While he has struggled with his command (12.6% walk rate), Doval has generated a strong 3.49 xERA, .226 xBA, 6.1% barrel rate, and a 52.2% ground-ball rate, all of which are above the average marks. However, with the Yankees already having Devin Williams on their roster and recently acquiring Pittsburgh right-hander David Bednar, Doval will likely only see time as a setup man, which will significantly decrease his upside in standard leagues. However, Doval should remain a solid option in holds leagues, pitching on a competing Yankees team.
