Fantasy Impact

Right now Chris Parmelee holds no fantasy value

Chris Parmelee slugged two home runs and smashed a double for the Yankees, finishing 3-for-5 with three runs scored and three RBI. This game simply came out of nowhere, as he started at first base for the first time this season and these five at-bats are the first of the season. Parmelee had a .688 OPS in 97 at-bats with the Orioles last season.

Fantasy Impact

The injury to Mark Teixeira at first base has given Robert Refsnyder and Parmelee opportunities at first base and yesterday's game shows that Parmelee might be a good option as the left-handed part of the platoon. He has a career .718 OPS in 914 at-bats, so do not expect too much from Parmelee in the future and he only has a .678 OPS against right-handed pitchers over the last three seasons. He had a .787 OPS and 15 extra-base hits in 151 at-bats with Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre this season.
