Tommy Kahnle Stats

The New York Yankees placed right-hander Tommy Kahnle (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Sept. 22) on Monday with right-shoulder inflammation and recalled right-hander Matt Bowman from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Kahnle will now be forced to miss the final week of the 2023 regular season, but he should be fine for the starting spring training next year. The 34-year-old veteran reliever was relevant for fantasy managers in leagues that rewarded points for holds, as he picked up 14 holds, two saves, a 2.66 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 48 strikeouts in 40 2/3 innings pitched over 42 appearances out of New York's bullpen.

New York Yankees relief pitcher Tommy Kahnle picked up his second save of the season in the nightcap of a double-header against the Boston Red Sox. Kahnle tossed the final two innings of this one, coming in with the Yankees up 6-5. They would score two in the top of the ninth to gain a three-run lead, and the team decided to continue with Kahnle instead of going to usual closer Clay Holmes. Holmes has been good of late, so it may be a matter of giving him extra rest since the lead was three runs. Either way, Kahnle has been solid all year and is worth an add in deeper category leagues where holds matter.

New York Yankees right-hander Tommy Kahnle (biceps) will make another rehab appearance on Tuesday for Double-A Somerset, according to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. The 33-year-old has yet to pitch for the big league club in 2023 after suffering biceps tendinitis before the season began. Kahnle is on the verge of coming off the injured list, and manager Aaron Boone told reporters he could join the team for the weekend series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The former fifth-round pick in 2010 has been a solid arm over his career and posted a 2.84 ERA, 0.63 WHIP, and 30.4% strikeout rate over 12.2 innings last year. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect many save chances for Kahnle, but he might be relevant in hold leagues if he makes his way into late-inning work.
