Eligibility
The Yankees have signed Phil Bickford to a Major League contact and have added him to the active roster.
Fantasy Impact
Bickford will join the Yankees’ bullpen to provide a fresh arm. He has a 2.93 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP in 22 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.
Relief pitcher Phil Bickford has won his arbitration case with the New York Mets.
Fantasy Impact
Bickford will earn the $900K he filed for rather than the $815K the Mets had submitted. The 28-year-old posted a 4.95 ERA across 61 outings between the Dodgers and Mets in 2023 and owns a career 4.43 ERA across 179 big-league plate appearances.
Bickford turned in a solid performance out of the bullpen on Wednesday, picking up a save in the Mets' narrow 4-3 victory over the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
The right-hander was efficient, needing just 17 pitches to retire the side. Bickford's strong outing lowered his season ERA to 5.83, and he now has 41 appearances on the year with one save, one blown save, and three holds. Despite some struggles this season, Bickford showcased his potential in this outing, providing a glimpse of what he can do when he's on top of his game.
Phil Bickford pitched 1 1/3 innings on Saturday, striking out two, while giving up one hit for zero earned runs as he earned the win for the Dodgers in their 13-3 game against the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
Bickford earned his second win of the season on Saturday night as he improved his record to 2-1. The Dodgers reliever has pitched to the tune of an 5.05 ERA with a WHIP of 1.12. The 27 year old should not be rostered at the moment as he is not used in high leverage situations and has just two wins on the season with zero saves.
Phil Bickford pitched one inning on Sunday, striking out three, walking two, and giving up two hits for three earned runs as he earned the win for the Dodgers in a 11-9 game against the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
Bickford should not be rostered at the moment as he is not used in high leverage situations and only got his first win of the season due to a big time comeback from the Dodgers. The Dodgers reliever was actually pretty bad in his outing despite the win as he gave up nearly as many walks as strikeouts and gave up three runs which grew the Cubs lead to five at the time. The 27 year old is pitching to the tune of a below average 5.40 ERA with a WHIP of 1.13.
