Luis Cessa Stats

The Cincinnati Reds acquired relief pitchers Justin Wilson and Luis Cessa from the New York Yankees on Tuesday night for a player to be named later. Wilson struggled in 18 innings for the Yankees in 2021, posting a 7.50 ERA and a 4.72 FIP to go along with 15 strikeouts and nine walks. Cessa, meanwhile, has pitched to a 2.82 ERA, a 3.54 FIP, 31 strikeouts, and 17 walks in 38.1 innings this season. Cincinnati's bullpen might be one to stay away from in fantasy until Lucas Sims and Tejay Antone return from the injured list. Heath Hembree and Amir Garrett have both been getting save opportunities, but the Reds now have Wilson and Cessa on hand as late-inning options.

New York Yankees relief pitcher Luis Cessa will be activated by the team on Monday after a coronavirus-related absence to start the season. With Tommy Kahnle (elbow) out for the rest of the season, Cessa should see a fair amount of hold opportunities over the rest of the season. That being said, Cessas career 4.50 ERA and 19.3% strikeout rate should keep him off of most fantasy rosters.

New York Yankees pitcher Luis Cessa is no longer experiencing coronavirus symptoms after testing positive on Saturday. Cessa has been self-isolating and will likely be ready for the start of the season given that hes now symptom-free. Cessa is likely to be used mostly as a long reliever this year after not starting any games last season, and the 23-year-old will likely post an ERA of around 4.70 with pedestrian strikeout numbers.
