Jayvien Sandridge Fantasy Stats

The Los Angeles Angels have acquired left-handed reliever Jayvien Sandridge from the New York Yankees in exchange for cash considerations. In a corresponding move, right-handed pitcher Osvaldo Bido was designated for assignment to make space on the Halos' 40-man roster. Sandridge, who was recently DFA'd by New York, made his MLB debut last season but finished his lone appearance with two earned runs over 0.2 innings of work. He fared much better at Triple-A, where he posted a 3.65 FIP, 13.36 K/9, and 4.83 BB/9 across 31.2 frames. Originally drafted by the Orioles in the 32nd round of the 2018 draft, the 26-year-old is now headed to his fifth organization. He has two options remaining, so even if he doesn't make the Angels' bullpen out of spring training, he can offer depth on the 40-man roster.

New York Yankees pitching prospect Jayvien Sandridge has been called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The relief pitcher will be making his MLB debut whenever he enters a game for the Yankees. The 26-year-old had made only six appearances at Triple-A before his call-up, allowing just one earned run on four hits and four walks while striking out 13 batters. Over the course of his minor league career since 2018, the 6-foot-5 southpaw owns an impressive 32.7 percent strikeout rate, however, it comes with a concerning 17.7 percent walk rate. Hopefully that is something the Yankees can help remedy while he's with the big league club. The 6-foot-5 hurler will take the place of Yerry De los Santos, who was placed on the 15-day injured list, but Sandridge likely doesn't warrant consideration for fantasy at this point.

According to the team, left-handed pitcher Jayvien Sandridge has signed a minor-league contract with the New York Yankees. Sandridge will also be invited to spring training. The 25-year-old has yet to reach the major leagues. Last summer, Sandridge made his Triple-A debut with the El Paso Chihuahuas. Across 39 2/3 innings of relief, the southpaw held a 4.76 ERA with a 1.82 WHIP. He struck out an impressive 56 batters but served up 35 free passes. Earlier in the summer, Sandridge posted a 3.38 ERA with a 1.55 WHIP across 21 1/3 innings at Double-A. Fantasy managers should monitor his progress during spring training, but given his struggles at Triple-A last summer, he will likely open the campaign with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. If he can turn the corner, he could find a path to being a low-leverage option for the Yankees.
