Mike Ford News
The Washington Nationals have claimed first baseman Mike Ford off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. The lefty hitting infielder was traded to the Rays earlier in the season, but started the season with the New York Yankees. Hopefully, the 29-year-old will actually get a chance to play on the rebuilding Nats roster. Ford has shown some success at the big league lever earlier in his career. He won't be worth snagging in fantasy formats, but at least he'll hopefully get some playing time in Washington.
New York Yankees first baseman Mike Ford has been traded to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations. Ford smacked 12 home runs during his rookie year, but hasn't done much since then. Since the beginning of 2020, Ford is slashing .134/.250/.276 in a little over 150 plate appearances. Possibly, a change of scenery will be helpful, but fantasy managers shouldn't bother rostering Ford right now.
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.
