Willie Calhoun News
New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Willie Calhoun will hit out of the three-hole for the first time this season when the club openers up a series with the Seattle Mariners on the west coast. It was a slow start to the season for the former top prospect but Calhoun has picked it up of late. Most recently, he has five hits -- including a pair of doubles -- over his last 12 trips to the plate while also driving in a pair of runs in that time. Overall, the 28-year-old is hitting .242 with three homers and a .705 OPS across 30 appearances on the season. His 0.79 BB/K is impressive while all but five of his appearances on the season have come as the Yankees' DH.
New York Yankees outfielder Willie Calhoun was informed Tuesday that he would not start the season with the big-league team. The 28-year-old signed with the Yankees this off-season and had a productive spring, batting .294 with one home run and four RBI in 51 at-bats. However, he will instead be starting the season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The former Texas Rangers prospect has never panned out and slashed just .135/.274/.250 in 62 plate appearances in 2022 with the Rangers and Giants. There may still be hope for him yet to find a big-league role, but fantasy managers can ignore him for now.
The New York Yankees agreed to a non-roster minor-league deal with free-agent outfielder Willie Calhoun on Saturday, according to a source. Calhoun will receive an invitation to major-league spring training. The 28-year-old was one of the Texas Rangers' top prospects, but he never ended up panning out over six seasons. He joined the San Francisco Giants for four games in 2022 but ended up playing in only 22 total contests. In his six big-league seasons, Calhoun has a .240/.299/.404 slash line with a .703 OPS, 32 home runs, 104 RBI and 98 runs scored in 936 plate appearances. He managed to hit a career-high 21 home runs in 2019 with Texas, but Calhoun just hasn't been able to get over the hump in the big leagues. The Yankees will hope to get something out of him, if nothing more than outfield depth.
