The Yankees' bullpen has done excellent work so far, pitching to a 2.40 ERA and helping to preserve five one-run wins. But it's not going to have Jonathan Loáisiga for the rest of the year, and that's a problem...
Potential Solutions: Tanner Scott, Kenley Jansen, Chris Martin, Carlos Estévez, Adam Ottavino, (and) Michael Kopech. Though Scott is the best of the hurlers listed above, the most interesting is Kopech. He's taken a liking to relief work, striking out 12 of the 31 batters he's faced while allowing only four hits.
Kopech at one point was one of the top prospects in baseball as a member of the Boston Red Sox organization before being traded to Chicago. He began his big league career as a starter but has transitioned to a bullpen role and has impressed this season.
