Fantasy Impact:

Yates' season is officially over before it ever began. He'll be sidelined into the 2022 campaign as he recovers from the second Tommy John surgery of his career. In his place, Jordan Romano is expected to serve as the Blue Jays' closer. He has the talent and strikeout upside to hold the job all season long.
