Michael Hermosillo Fantasy Stats

The New York Yankees signed outfielder Michael Hermosillo and right-hander Demarcus Evans to minor-league deals. Hermosillo, 27, played in just 47 games for the Chicago Cubs over the last two seasons, hitting .144/.246/.278 with three home runs, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored and one stolen base in 111 plate appearances. In five major-league seasons, he's slashing .167/.268/.283 with four home runs and 17 RBI in 103 games played. Hermosillo will merely serve as outfield depth for the Yankees. Evans did not pitch at all in the big leagues in 2022. In two seasons with the Texas Rangers, he has a 4.75 ERA (4.66 FIP), a 1.42 WHIP and 37 strikeouts in 30 1/3 relief innings.

The Chicago Cubs re-signed outfielder Michael Hermosillo to a one-year, $600,000 major league deal on Wednesday night before MLB entered a lockout on Thursday. The 26-year-old was non-tendered on Wednesday before the Cubs decided to re-sign him to a new deal. Hermosillo dealt with several injuries that slowed him down last season, but he managed three home runs in 38 plate appearances while also slashing .194/.237/.500. Both he and recently added outfielder Harold Ramirez are options to cover all three outfield spots in Chicago. And for a rebuilding Cubs team, there's a chance that both Hermosillo and Ramirez play their way into starting spots in 2022. Hermosillo has a .190/.276/.343 slash line with four home runs and 13 RBI in 72 career games at the big-league level with the Cubs and Los Angeles Angels.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Michael Hermosillo started in place of Rafael Ortega and came through in the teams victory versus the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. Hermosillo had a big game and went 3-for-5 with two runs and three RBI. He also hit his third home run of the season off of Steven Brault in the bottom of the fourth inning. Despite the impressive performance, the outfielder isn't getting enough at-bats to make any sort of impact in the fantasy world. For the season, he is now hitting .206 with three home runs and seven RBI in 34 at-bats.

The Chicago Cubs announced on Tuesday that they have designated relief pitcher Dan Winkler for assignment. Winkler got off to a nice start to the season with a 0.51 ERA on the season entering June, but that's when the train started to fall of the tracks. Winkler had a very rough July with an 8.22 ERA and things didn't get better in August with a 29.45 ERA in six appearances. For the season, Winkler is 1-3 with a 5.22 ERA in 47 games. The veteran is likely to get picked up by another organization as a depth piece, but he should be avoided in all formats. Replacing Winkler on the active roster will be outfielder Michael Hermosillo. Hermosillo, 26, will be making his big-league debut when he steps on the field and was hitting .310 with 10 home runs, 29 RBI and seven RBI in 145 at-bats this season for the Triple-A Cubs. The Cubs are in a complete rebuild, but manager David Ross continues to stick with veteran outfielder Jason Heyward in the lineup and Hermosillo's immediate role is unknown. Managers can safely leave him on the waiver wire for now.

The Los Angeles Angels have optioned right-hander Deck McGuire to Triple-A Salt Lake. They have recalled outfielder Michael Hermosillo in his place. McGuire was a rotation stopgap while the Angels battled a handful of injuries to their starting pitchers. He made two starts, but didn't make it out of the fourth inning in either of them. If he returns to the big leagues this season, it will likely be in a relief role or as a spot-starter. He has no fantasy value. Hermosillo is a fourth outfielder and may draw the occasional start against left-handers to give Kole Calhoun a day off. Hermosillo is hitting .132 and likewise has no fantasy value.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Michael Hermosillo has been recalled from Triple-A on Thursday. Chris Young (hamstring) returned to the starting lineup on Wednesday but could still be bothered by lingering hamstring issues. Mike Trout (finger) has been cleared to serve as the designated hitter, but he will not play the outfield Thursday. Hermosillo has been recalled as insurance since the Angels are running low on outfielders. His stint in the big leagues should not be long, so owners shouldn't bother adding Hermosillo, even if he does start a few games.

The Los Angeles Angels have recalled outfielder Jabari Blash from Triple-A Salt Lake. They sent down Michael Hermosillo to make room on the active roster. Hermosillo hit .143 in 21 at-bats with the Angels. Blash is an all-or-nothing slugger who has eight home runs in 102 career games, with 104 strikeouts and a .201 average. Don't expect him to have any fantasy relevance, although he will likely draw a fair amount of starts as long as Kole Calhoun (oblique) is out.

For the fourth time in five days, Los Angeles Angels outfielder Michael Hermosillo has drawn the start for the Angels. He appears to have taken over regular duties in right field in place of Kole Calhoun, who is on the disabled list. Calhoun is hitting .145 on the year, however, so there's a possibility that Hermosillo can hold onto the job once Calhoun returns. Of course, Hermosillo is only 3-for-14 on the year with two doubles, so he'd have to pick it up at the plate in order to win the job. For now, he's not worth your time in fantasy.
