Fantasy Impact:
The 27-year-old utility man was acquired by the Yanks from the Mariners in a deal that sent Ramon Flores and Jose Ramirez to the M’s. While appearing in two games during their most recent 10-game road trip, Ackley saw three at-bats vs. the Chicago White Sox while going 0-3. Before coming over to the Yankees, he posted a .215 average with six homeruns.
