Fantasy Impact

This is a tough blow for the Yankees as they don't just lose Effross for the postseason, but for likely the entire 2023 season as well. Effross had a 2.13 ERA, 3 saves, and 12 Ks in 12.2 innings after being traded to New York, and could have been in the mix for saves in 2023. Clay Holmes will likely be the primary closer for the Yankees in this postseason and beyond.

Scott Effross (shoulder) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list by the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

Effross will return for Thursday's game against the Red Sox. Effross was acquired at the trade deadline from the Cubs. It is possible that he could get some saves down the stretch with the Yankees' working a closer commitee.

The Yankees plan to activate Scott Effross from the IL Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Effross has been out of action since mid-August with a right shoulder strain. The reliever has a 2.75 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and a .221 BAA in 55 games this season. The Yankees will likely make sure to limit his usage heading into the playoffs.
