Mike Ford News
New York Yankees first baseman Mike Ford was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Tuesday night's win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Ford posted just a .561 OPS with three homers, though he recorded seven barrels in 37 batted ball events alongside a 15.3 percent walk rate. The Yankees are expected to announce a corresponding move Wednesday, likely the call-up of hot-hitting first baseman Chris Gittens, who has slashed .256/.475/.605 in 15 minor league games this season.
New York Yankees first baseman Mike Ford swatted his third home run of the season in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Chicago White Sox. White Sox reliever Matt Foster hung a breaking ball to Ford in the sixth inning, and the Yankee first baseman got every bit of it, sending it 447 feet into the right-field seats at an exit velocity of 105.7 MPH. After a brutal 1-for-24 stretch to start May, Ford is now 4-for-8 with a pair of runs scored and a home run in his last three games played. He still has just a .617 OPS on the season and can be avoided by fantasy managers, especially with Luke Voit back in the picture.
New York Yankees first baseman Mike Ford belted his first home run of the season in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Indians. Ford went back-to-back with Gio Urshela in the fourth inning, crushing a 3-1 fastball 409 feet into the right-field seats. The 28-year-old is batting just .133 since being recalled- though good matchups await in a four-game series against the Orioles starting on Monday. Their pitching staff has surrendered the ninth-most long balls in baseball so far, meaning Ford could be an affordable yet effective DFS play this week.
