Andrew Heaney News
Left-hander Andrew Heaney has agreed to a one-year, $8.5 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, pending a physical, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Heaney struggled this past season, posting a 5.83 ERA in 129.2 IP split between the Los Angeles Angels and New York Yankees. He was 8-9 and added 150 strikeouts, good for a 26.9 K%. However, Heaney had trouble with the long ball, surrendering 29 of them. He pitched exclusively in the rotation before the Yankees moved him to the bullpen in late August. In Los Angeles, he should be able to secure a rotation spot. The 30-year old isn't a bad late-round draft pick in deeper fantasy leagues with the hope that he can fix his home run problem while keeping his strikeout numbers up.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Andrew Heaney was designated for assignment by the club Tuesday ahead of their Wild Card matchup against the Red Sox. Acquired from the Angels at the trade deadline, Heaney had a rough time in the Bronx, pitching to a 7.32 ERA in 35 2/3 innings, despite flashing solid strikeout ability with 37 punchouts as a Yankee. The southpaw's struggles earned him a demotion to the bullpen- and now he'll be headed for free agency, where a team may take a chance on him in a prove-it deal thanks to his strikeout potential.
New York Yankees starting pitcher Corey Kluber (shoulder) will be activated from the 60-day injured list on Monday and will start versus the Los Angeles Angels. Kluber has missed most of the season and has been sidelined since May 27 with a right shoulder strain. When healthy, Kluber was productive with a 4-3 record and 3.04 ERA in 10 starts. Managers may want to proceed with caution at first with the veteran, but he is worth scooping up in leagues that he was dropped in. With Kluber returning to the rotation, starting pitcher Andrew Heaney will be demoted to the bullpen in a long relief role.

Last year, Los Angeles Angels starting pitcherAndrew Heaney avoided a stint on the injured list for the first time since 2015, which is impressive given he has spent a total of 409 days on the IL in the last five years. In 2018, Heaney did make 30 starts and throw 180 innings, so you could also believe he's turned the corner health-wise with two of the last three seasons providing a good accumulation of innings. Performance-wise, Heaney has been a useful fantasy contributor, putting up good strikeout numbers, albeit with a pretty high ERA. Heaney has a 25.6% strikeout rate since 2018, which is 25th-best among all starting pitchers with at least 300 innings thrown in that time. Although Heaney hasn't had a year with a sub-4.00 ERA since 2015, his underlying numbers do indicate there is more than meets the eye. In the last three years, Heaney's 4.42 ERA is significantly higher than his xFIP (3.91) and his SIERA (3.84), so even if he can lower his ERA, Heaney should provide value at his current ADP of around 209. Given his ADP, the injury risk with Heaney is built in and a repeat of his 2018 season (180 innings, 180 K's, 4.15 ERA and 1.20 WHIP ) is achievable. Heaney is still only 29 years old, too, so he shouldn't be considered in decline. In fact, he could be a late bloomer on the brink of having his best season, provided he stays healthy, of course.
