Adam Warren shuts down the middle of the game. Dellin Betances and Aroldis Chapman close out opponents. Yet the biggest piece of the puzzle is often unrecognized in right-hander Tyler Clippard.
Clippard, the journeyman reliever, has finally found a permanent home in the New York Yankees bullpen and his success on the mound ultimately plays a big role in the overall success of the Yankees.
Right now, Clippard has had a few rough outings but overall has been incredibly solid. The Yankees need him now more than ever if they want to continue this incredible run they’ve been on so far.
