Tommy Kahnle Fantasy

New York Yankees relief pitcher Tommy Kahnle has been recalled and has joined the team on Thursday. The move comes after Luis Cessa — who started against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday — was optioned to Triple-A. Cessa had a poor showing against the Rays in a spot start in place of the injured CC Sabathia (knee). Kahnle has had a rough 2018 (1-0, 6.30 ERA) and will undoubtedly be used for long relief out of the bullpen. He is not on the standard fantasy radar.

As expected, the New York Yankees activated reliever/spot starter Adam Warren on Monday after over six weeks on the disabled list with a strained back. The big question with the move was who would be removed from the roster to make room for Warren, with the candidates coming from the club's bullpen. While A.J. Cole, Chasen Shreve and Jonathan Holder were reportedly considered the favorites, the New York club made a surprising move by demoting right-hander Tommy Kahnle to the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. The 28-year-old had recently been activated off the DL himself.

Prior to Friday's game between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim at Yankee Stadium, the home club activated reliever Tommy Kahnle off the disabled list. The 28-year-old missed over a month with shoulder tendinitis, and his activation came at the expense of Ryan Bollinger, who was optioned to Double-A Trenton. Kahnle's return brings some level of stability to the bullpen, as it adds another trusted arm to the table. He was a vital part of last season's postseason run, seeing major action in the playoff series' against the Astros and Indians.
