LUCAS LUETGE NEWS

Fans four, earns relief win Luetge (4-1) earned the win in relief Saturday against the Marlins after tossing two scoreless innings, giving up one hit and fanning four.

Impact Luetge has been pitching very well of late and extended his streak of scoreless appearances to six outings, a stretch in which he's posted an excellent 12:1 K:BB while also going more than one inning three times. The left-hander posted a strong 2.00 ERA and an excellent 12.0 K/9 across eight July appearances, but a concerning 1.44 WHIP suggests he outpitched his ERA during that same span.

Pitches two perfect frames Luetge struck out four without allowing a hit or a walk over two innings in Wednesday's win over Tampa Bay.

Impact After Nestor Cortes gave New York five strong innings as the starter, Luetge came on for the sixth and seventh frames with the score tied 1-1. The left-hander retired all six batters he faced, collecting two punchouts in each of his frames. Luetge hasn't pitched in many high-leverage spots but is putting together a strong campaign after a six-year absence from MLB, posting a 3.06 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 51:8 K:BB across 47 innings.

Charged with first blown save Luetge struck out two batters but allowed two runs on one hit and one walk over 1.1 innings Sunday and was charged with the blown save against Boston.

Impact The left-hander wasn't used in a traditional save situation, coming in with two outs and New York clinging to a two-run lead in the top of the sixth inning. Luetge struck out Rafael Devers to end that frame, but he served up a two-run homer to Marwin Gonzalez in the seventh to allow Boston to tie the game. Despite a rough start to the campaign, Luetge has been mostly solid in his first MLB action since 2015, posting a 3.03 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 30:4 K:BB across 29.2 innings.

Earns second win in relief Luetge (2-0) was credited with the win Tuesday against Houston, allowing one hit in a scoreless inning.

Impact Luetge entered the contest in the sixth inning with the score tied 3-3. He allowed a one-out single to Alex Bregman that was subsequently erased on an inning-ending double play. The Yankees then exploded for four runs in the bottom of the frame, handing the left-hander his second win of the campaign. Luetge has been a solid contributor to the team's bullpen in his first big-league action since 2015, compiling a 3.78 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 17:3 K:BB across 16.2 innings.

Picks up win Friday Luetge (1-0) earned the win Friday, allowing one walk with one strikeout in 1.1 innings versus Cleveland.

Impact Starter Jordan Montgomery was unable to complete five innings, so Luetge picked up the win in a relief appearance. The 34-year-old reliever has a 4.97 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB across 12.2 innings this season. He's surrendered three home runs in seven appearances, but none in his last three outings. Luetge is likely to remain in a low-leverage role.

Whiffs four in relief Luetge tossed three innings out of the bullpen against Tampa Bay on Friday, allowing one run on three hits and no walks while striking out four.

Impact The left-hander came into the contest in the fifth inning with New York already down by five runs. He gave up a seventh-inning homer to Willy Adames but otherwise quieted the Rays' offense. Luetge has yielded at least one run in each of his three appearances this season and has a 7.20 ERA over five frames. However, there is some optimism to be found in his 6:0 K:BB.
