Keynan Middleton News
New York Yankees relief pitcher Ian Hamilton (groin) could be activated from the 15-day injured list during the series against the Pittsburgh Pirates that begins this Friday, while reliever Keynan Middleton (shoulder) is a little behind Hamilton and may not return until next week during the homestand against the Toronto Blue Jays. Hamilton is trying to return from a right-groin strain and may not even need a minor-league rehab appearance before rejoining New York's bullpen. The 28-year-old has a nice 2.24 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, two saves and 64 K's in 52 1/3 innings this year over 35 games (three starts). Middleton is eligible to return from the IL on Sept. 19. The 30-year-old has a 3.08 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, two saves and 64 K's in 49 2/3 relief innings with the Yankees and Chicago White Sox in 2023.
The Chicago White Sox completed a trade to send relief pitcher Keynan Middleton to the New York Yankees for Minor League starter Juan Carela minutes before the trade deadline Tuesday. Middleton should provide bullpen depth for the Yankees and had compiled a 3.96 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and 30.1% strikeout rate in 39 appearances for the White Sox. Carela was ranked as the Yankees' No. 29 prospect by MLB Pipeline and had spent the season at High-A Hudson Valley. While Middleton should help the Yankees down the stretch, neither player offers much fantasy value at this time.
According to Jon Morosi of the MLB Network, reliever Keynan Middleton may get moved ahead of the deadline. The 29-year-old right-hander has a 3.82 ERA with 46 strikeouts and two saves in 35 1/3 innings in 2023. But he will hit the open market in the offseason, so Chicago might not be finished making trades. Although Middleton hasn't been a productive fantasy asset this season, that could change depending on his future.
