Jedd Gyorko News
The Milwaukee Brewers declined the 2021 options on infielders Jedd Gyorko and Eric Sogard and outfielder Ben Gamel on Friday. Gyorko and Sogard both had $4.5 million options, while Gamel remains under team control after the team declined his $2.55 million option. Gyorko hit .248 with nine home runs and 17 RBI in 43 games and 117 at-bats this year, and his .838 OPS was the highest on the team while playing mostly against left-handed pitchers. He eventually became the team's primary first baseman. Sogard hit just .209 with a homer, 10 RBI and a .560 OPS in 44 games. Gamel had a .237 average with three home runs, 10 RBI and a .718 OPS in 40 games. The trio aren't likely to be anything more than utility options going forward, limiting their fantasy value significantly.
When the Milwaukee Brewers designated Justin Smoak for assignment -- in order to bring Daniel Vogelbach aboard -- it seemed as if Jedd Gyorkos playing time might get squeezed. But general manager David Stearns made it apparent that wouldnt be the case, as he mentioned Gyorko as one of the names that he expects to see considerable time at first moving forward. Through 20 games this year, Gyorko has slugged five homers, en route to a .955 OPS. He remains primarily a season-long commodity in deep leagues, but he may also have DFS appeal depending on the matchup.
Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jedd Gyorko went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Twins. The veteran wound up being the hero for Milwaukee after he lifted a Taylor Rogers fastball over the wall in center field in the eighth inning to complete the comeback from an early 4-1 deficit. Gyorko isn't seeing everyday at-bats but he's had fantasy value in deeper-mixed league formats, posting a .286/.348/.619 slash line with two homers and five RBI through 10 games.
