Zack Britton

The Yankees have transferred reliever Zack Britton to the 60-day injured list.

Fantasy Impact

Britton was originally on the 10-day injured list due to an elbow injury, but Monday's move now forces him out of action until late October. It also creates an additional spot on the 40-man roster. Britton has posted a 5.89 ERA, 1.69 WHIP, and .262 OBA through 18.1 innings out of the bullpen this season. He walked 14 batters and struck out 16 along the way.

Zack Britton was placed on the 10-day IL due to a left elbow sprain. It is unclear how serious the injury is.

Britton has recorded a 5.89 ERA, 1.69 WHIP, and 16 strikeouts through 18 1/3 innings pitched on the season. It has not been the best ride for him this year.

Zack Britton picked up the save on Wednesday pitching a scoreless ninth inning in the Yankees' 5-2 win over the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

This was Britton's first save of the season in 17 appearances and he's also logged seven holds and two blown saves. With Aroldis Chapman (elbow) on the injured list, the Yankees have been mixing and matching at closer and Britton may get more opportunities for saves.

Zack Britton was activated from the 10-day injured list on Thursday ahead of the Yankees game against Boston.

Fantasy Impact

Britton has only appeared in five games for the Yankees this season after missing all of April and May before missing the last few weeks of action due to a Grade 1 strain of his left hamstring. He will look to get back to his usual form in the Yankees bullpen as they return from the All-Star break. Nestor Cortes and Wandy Peralta were placed on the COVID-19 injured list.

Yankees LHP Zack Britton (hamstring) is expected to return from the IL on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

There's a chance that Britton could see some save opportunities this month. Aroldis Chapman has been a mess as of late and Chad Green imploded in Sunday's first-half finale. The Yankee bullpen is one to monitor moving forward.
