The New York Yankees are leaning into their bullpen extensively and seeing mixed results as they attempt to hold onto a playoff spot.

The Yankees hope left-hander Max Fried can give them some significant distance and their offense can produce enough big hits Sunday afternoon when they attempt to secure a series win over the visiting Houston Astros.

New York's starters have not completed six innings since Will Warren on July 30 against the Tampa Bay Rays. New York needed five innings from its relievers on Friday and Devin Williams allowed three runs (two earned) in the 10th inning of a 5-3 loss.

The Yankees used relievers Mark Leiter Jr, Luke Weaver, Camilo Doval and David Bednar for a combined 3 2/3 innings on Saturday.
