Yu Chang News
The Boston Red Sox claimed infielder Yu Chang off waivers on Monday. The 27-year-old was previously with the Tampa Bay Rays and has played for two other teams this season, hitting .216 with a .280 on-base percentage and four home runs in 164 total plate appearances. With experience at all four infield positions, he'll give the Red Sox some additional infield depth after the likes of Triston Casas, Trevor Story, Xander Bogaerts, and Rafael Devers. Boston also designated outfielder Jaylin Davis for assignment.
The Tampa Bay Rays have added infielder Yu Chang to the active roster ahead of the weekend series against the Cincinnati Reds. The 26-year-old was claimed off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates earlier this week. He also spent time with the Cleveland Guardians to begin the 2022 season. The results haven't been there for Chang, who's slashing .135/.237/.212 with one home run over 22 games. He'll be a bench bat for the Rays, assuming he sticks with the team, so the news has no effect on fantasy leagues.
The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired infielder Yu Chang from the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday in exchange for cash, according to sources. The Guardians designated Chang for assignment last Thursday. Chang doesn't have any minor league options remaining, so there's a decent chance he'll stick on Pittsburgh's MLB roster. The 26-year-old can play all over the infield and will give the Pirates more depth. In parts of four major league seasons for Cleveland, he's hit just .208/.265/.372 with 10 home runs, 46 RBI, 41 runs scored and one stolen base in 358 plate appearances over 131 games. He can continue to be ignored in mixed fantasy leagues.
