Eligibility
Nick Burdi threw live BP on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Burdi continues to draw great reviews out of camp with the Yankees. He'll be competing for a spot in the bullpen with the Yankees out of Spring Training.
The Cubs selected the contract of Nick Burdi from Triple-A Iowa Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Burdi has a 3.38 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP in 11 outings with the Triple-A Cubs. Burdi may not remain on the big league roster for long, as the team will need a starter for Hayden Wesneski’s turn in the rotation.
Nick Burdi will receive a platelet-rich plasma injection in his strained right elbow per the Pirates director of sports medicine, Todd Tomczyk.
Fantasy Impact
The injection should help Burdi avoid surgery, which would be a welcome sign for the oft-injured reliever. Burdi was placed on the 45-day IL on August 5th with the elbow issue and is out for the season.
The Pirates placed Nick Burdi on the 45-day injured list with a right elbow injury.
Fantasy Impact
Brutal. Burdi has dealt with injuries for years now and had finally gotten a chance at a prominent role in Pittsburgh's bullpen. The team didn't provide any other details at this time but he can obviously be dropped everywhere. Keone Kela (COVID-19) will be the Pirates' closer once he returns.
Nick Burdi (0-1) allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out none across 1/3 inning in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Twins. He picked up his first loss of the season.
Fantasy Impact
Burdi entered the game in the ninth, and allowed two base runners before yielding the GW winning single to Nelson Cruz. He earned his first loss of the season. Keone Kela will be activated off the injured list this week and is expected to reclaim the Pirates closer role. Burdi will return as one of the team's setup men and should only be owned in leagues which rewards the category saves/holds.
