New York Yankees

Clay Holmes delivered a strong performance, securing his ninth save of the season as the Yankees edged out the Orioles 2-0.

Fantasy Impact: Holmes allowed just one hit and struck out three batters over 1.2 innings, maintaining his pristine 0.00 ERA. This outing continues a stellar season for Holmes, who has been a reliable asset in the closer role. His impressive 16.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio and 0.93 WHIP are indicators of his dominance and control, making him a top-tier option for fantasy managers in need of saves and strikeouts. As long as he maintains this form, Holmes should be considered a must-start in all fantasy formats.

Luis Gil delivered a masterful performance on Wednesday, allowing no earned runs on just two hits and one walk while striking out five over 6.1 innings in a 2-0 victory over the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact: This outing was a significant improvement for Gil, whose season had been marked by inconsistency, as evidenced by his 4.01 ERA and 1.34 WHIP entering the game. His ability to suppress runs while maintaining a high strikeout rate (11.6 K/9) continues to make him an intriguing fantasy option, particularly in leagues that reward strikeouts heavily. The low BABIP (.227) suggests some luck, but his solid outing could be a sign of turning the corner. Fantasy managers should consider Gil a high-risk, high-reward play, depending on matchups and his ability to control the walk rate.

Oswaldo Cabrera delivered a key performance in the New York Yankees' 2-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles, going 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, one run scored, and a stolen base.

Fantasy Impact: This outing showcased Cabrera's potential to contribute across multiple categories, which is a boon for fantasy managers. His season batting average now sits at .262, and while his power numbers aren't eye-popping, games like this illustrate his ability to chip in occasionally with homers and steals. Given his current form and role in the Yankees' lineup, Cabrera could be a useful depth piece in larger fantasy leagues, especially if he continues to capitalize on his opportunities like he did today.

Fantasy Impact: Wells will sit out for general rest Wednesday, with Jose Trevino filling in behind the plate at catcher and batting eighth against the Orioles for manager Aaron Boone.

Clarke Schmidt took the mound against the Orioles and delivered a commendable performance, allowing just one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings in Monday's 2-0 loss.

Fantasy Impact: Despite his efforts, the Yankees' offense couldn't muster any support, saddling Schmidt with his first loss of the season. With a 3.19 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP through six starts, Schmidt continues to be a reliable option in fantasy rotations, particularly with his strong 9.9 K/9 rate. However, his elevated WHIP and FIP suggest some underlying volatility, and fantasy managers should remain cautious, especially in matchups against high-scoring teams.

Fantasy Impact: Verdugo will likely miss the first three games of the team’s upcoming series with Baltimore. Fantasy managers should expect Taylor Trammell to likely fill in for Verdugo in left field.

Anthony Volpe went 2-for-4 with three RBI including a home run on Sunday against the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact: Volpe hit one of three home runs for New York in a 15-5 win over Milwaukee. It was his third long ball on the season with a .282 batting average at the top of the Yankees lineup.

Marcus Stroman allowed four runs on six hits over four innings on Sunday against the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact: Stroman struggled with his command all afternoon, allowing five free passes. He now carries a 3.69 ERA on the season.

Aaron Judge went 2-for-4 in the Yankees' 15-3 thrashing of the Brewers, including a home run, two runs scored, and two RBI.

Fantasy Impact: This performance, while robust, barely nudges his struggling .190 season batting average. Despite today's home run bringing his total to five for the season, Judge's overall power numbers are still below expectations, particularly given his previous seasons' outputs. His high strikeout rate (0.281) continues to be a concern, undermining his potential to consistently contribute to fantasy lineups. However, his ability to draw walks (0.164 walk rate) remains a silver lining, offering some on-base percentage support. Fantasy managers should remain cautious but aware that a player of Judge's caliber may turn it around as the season progresses.

Anthony Rizzo had a productive day at the plate as the Yankees trounced the Brewers 15-3.

Fantasy Impact: He went 3-for-4 with a home run, three runs scored, and two RBI. This performance could be a sign of Rizzo finding his rhythm after a somewhat tepid start to the season, given his .250 batting average and modest power numbers. His home run today, his fourth of the season, along with the multiple hits, should reassure fantasy managers about his potential to contribute both power and average. While his strikeout rate remains a concern, performances like today's show that Rizzo still has the ability to be a valuable fantasy asset, especially in leagues that value power and run production.

Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in the Yankees' dominant 15-3 victory over the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact: Despite striking out three times, Stanton's contributions were crucial in the offensive explosion, highlighted by his towering home run. His performance this season has been a mixed bag, with a batting average of .241 and a high strikeout rate of .319, but his power numbers remain solid with six homers and 16 RBI through 24 games. Fantasy managers should continue to value Stanton for his home run potential, though his high strikeout rate could be a concern in formats that penalize for strikeouts. His current .340 wOBA indicates he still has the ability to contribute positively to fantasy lineups, especially in categories like home runs and RBI.

Gleyber Torres went 3-for-6 with a double and three RBI in the Yankees' 15-3 thrashing of the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact: This performance could be a turning point for Torres, who has struggled with a meager .210 batting average this season. His ability to drive in runs in this game, increasing his season RBI total to five, might hint at a potential uptick in productivity. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious; his overall season metrics, including a low wOBA of .249 and a high strikeout rate of 25%, suggest that consistent production may still be a challenge. This game could be a flash in the pan rather than a sign of a significant turnaround.

Carlos Rodon delivered a strong performance in the Yankees' 15-3 victory over the Brewers on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact: He allowed just one earned run on two hits and one walk while striking out eight over six innings. This outing continues a solid start to the season for Rodon, who now boasts a 2.48 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP through seven starts. Despite a somewhat modest strikeout rate of 8.3 K/9, his ability to limit runs and maintain effective control was on full display. Rodon's performance against a competitive Brewers lineup should reassure fantasy managers of his reliability as a starting option, especially considering his ability to navigate through games with minimal damage. His low BABIP of .253 suggests some luck, but his overall effectiveness is undeniable.

Fantasy Impact: Boone added that Dominguez has increased his throwing to 130 feet. He is continuing to work his way back from Tommy John surgery.

Juan Soto went 2-for-4 in the Yankees' 7-6 defeat to the Brewers, including a home run, one run scored, and one RBI.

Fantasy Impact: This performance underscores Soto's consistent ability to contribute significantly to the Yankees' lineup, maintaining a robust .324 batting average through 27 games. His power display, marked by his seventh homer of the season, along with a solid on-base presence evidenced by his 22 walks, keeps him as a top-tier fantasy option. Soto's blend of power and discipline at the plate, highlighted by his .432 wOBA, should keep fantasy managers confident in his ability to be a cornerstone in their lineups.

Trent Grisham went 1-for-2 with a home run, three RBI, and a run scored in the Yankees' 7-6 defeat to the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the loss, Grisham's performance was a rare highlight in what has been a troubling start to the season. His first home run of the year should provide a small boost to his dismal .071 batting average. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, however, as his overall performance still suggests limited upside. His high strikeout rate and almost nonexistent BABIP indicate significant struggles at the plate, making him a risky play in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Nestor Cortes Jr. allowed three earned runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four over seven innings in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact: Despite a decent outing in terms of control and limiting walks, Cortes Jr.'s performance wasn't enough to secure a win, as the Yankees' offense failed to provide sufficient support. His season ERA slightly rose to 3.50, and his WHIP remains solid at 1.00, reflecting his ability to keep runners off the bases. However, his strikeout numbers are lower than usual, which might concern fantasy managers relying on him for strikeouts. Moving forward, Cortes Jr. remains a viable fantasy option due to his consistent innings and WHIP, but his fantasy ceiling might be capped if he can't maintain higher strikeout rates.

Fantasy Impact: This is not good news for the Yankees and LeMahieu. His initial rehab assignment was pushed back after the team discovered his foot has not healed enough. He will head back to New York for further evaluation.
