Camilo Doval’s latest clunker doesn’t concern Aaron Boone: ‘Close to being dialed in’

Doval allowed a game-tying homer to Kansas City’s Vinnie Pasquantino in a pivotal seventh inning, threatening a close win.
Boone said Doval has been “really good, sharp [and] the strike-throwing is there,” but inconsistencies persist.
Boone indicated the bullpen will continue to rely on Doval despite recent rough outings.
David Bednar earned his sixth save in a 4-2 win that featured a bullpen largely effective in key moments.
Boone explained the balk call from Thursday as correct and said the team will keep challenging in ABS.
The Yankees’ offense benefited from Brenton Headrick’s solid outing in relief alongside the bullpen’s late-game bullpen performance.
Anthony Volpe’s rehab continued with Double-A Somerset as Caballero’s role remained in flux.
Caballero’s future role could shift back to utility ahead of Volpe’s major-league return.
The Yankees sit mid-pack in challenging decisions at the plate as part of ABS, according to Statcast metrics.
Boone indicated the team plans to keep Doval in high-leverage situations despite recent fluctuations.
