Nova pitched the final four innings of Wednesday's 16-6 trouncing of the Astros, allowing no runs on four hits and a walk while striking out five and picking up a save.

EDGE Analysis

The long-relief role Nova's been stuck in won't typically lend itself to much fantasy value, as opportunities like this one should be rare for him, but he was able to give the rest of the bullpen a break by finishing off the rout. It's far from inconceivable that Nova might find himself in the Yankees' rotation at some point, but for now it's hard to own him in most fantasy leagues. Even if he does get back into the starting five, we're talking about a guy who put up a 5.07 ERA in 17 starts last year.
