Zack Britton Stats

New York Yankees relief pitcher Zack Britton (elbow) could return to the club before the end of their three-city road trip. Britton has appeared in four rehab games between Double and Triple-A, allowing six earned runs in 3 1/3 innings. The Yankees finish up their series with the Twins Thursday, then have days off between two against the Philadelphia Phillies and three against the Toronto Blue Jays. Fantasy managers should expect to have Britton back by next week. The veteran southpaw pitched to a 1.90 ERA in 80 1/3 innings between 2019 and 2020, posting groundball rates above 70 percent in each of those seasons.

New York Yankees relief pitcher Zack Britton (elbow) will shift to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for the remainder of his rehab assignment. Britton has surrendered two runs in three innings pitched along with four strikeouts at the Double-A level. It's a good sign that he's able to pitch without a setback, as he had previously experienced some arm soreness when he was on the cusp of a rehab assignment. Britton should be back in the big leagues soon, where he should operate in a high leverage role.

New York Yankees pitcher Zack Britton (elbow) will throw again on Tuesday with Double-A Somerset. He made his third rehab appearance on Friday, so it sounds like Britton is making steadily progress. He has not been able to pitch in the majors this season due to bone spur in his left elbow. The organization is hopeful that Britton can rejoin the Yankees bullpen by the middle of June. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Britton because he'll likely be pitching in high leverage situations once he returns.
