The Twins and Michael Tonkin have agreed to a one-year, $1M contract to avoid arbitration.
Fantasy Impact
Tonkin bounced around with multiple teams in 2024, posting a 3.63 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP in 57 appearances. He will likely pitch in middle relief for the Twins in 2025.
The Twins claimed Michael Tonkin off waivers from the Yankees.
Fantasy Impact
Tonkin was designated for assignment by the Yankees last weekend. He'll add pitching depth for Minnesota.
The Yankees designated Michael Tonkin for assignment.
Fantasy Impact
Tonkin will hit the waivers. He'll remain in the Yankees organization if he goes unclaimed on waivers.
Michael Tonkin delivered a stellar performance, pitching three scoreless innings while allowing just two hits and striking out two to secure a save in the Yankees' 10-2 victory over the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
This outing not only added a save to his season tally but also showcased his ability to handle longer relief stints effectively. Tonkin's season ERA dipped to an impressive 3.21, complementing his solid 1.15 WHIP and 9.2 K/9 rate. His performance should reassure fantasy managers of his reliability in both holds and save situations, despite a couple of blown saves earlier in the season. Given his ability to strike out batters and manage game situations, Tonkin remains a viable option in leagues that value middle relievers or setup men with potential save opportunities.
Michael Tonkin allowed one hit and struck out three over two innings, but also logged a blown save in the Yankees' 7-6 win over the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the hiccup of a blown save, Tonkin's ability to strike out batters and limit baserunners was on display, as evidenced by his zero walks and minimal hits allowed. His season-long metrics, including a solid 3.08 ERA and 1.12 WHIP, suggest he remains a reliable option in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly for those in need of strikeouts and ratio help. However, his tendency this season to falter in save situations, now with two blown saves, might make him a risky play in formats heavily penalizing such setbacks.
