New York Yankees relief pitcher Justin Wilson (shoulder) is expected to rejoin the team before next weekend, according to manager Aaron Boone. Wilson tossed an encouraging live BP session on Saturday, and he seems to be over the shoulder tightness that bothered him this spring. With relief pitcher Zack Britton (elbow) unlikely to return before June, Wilson will compete with relief pitcher Chad Green for hold opportunities early this year, and fantasy managers who value holds should consider ...

New York Yankees relief pitcher Justin Wilson (shoulder) will start the season on the injured list after dealing with shoulder tightness this spring. Wilson is still expected to avoid surgery and rejoin the team a week or so into the season, but fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progress. A solid reliever with a 3.18 ERA over the past three seasons, Wilson should be a decent option for fantasy managers who value holds when healthy this year.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Justin Wilson (shoulder) received encouraging results from an MRI on Wednesday, but his timeline remains unclear and it remains possible (if not likely) that he misses Opening Day. Wilson had been a candidate to replace relief pitcher Zack Britton (elbow) as the team's primary set-up man to start the season before exiting his appearance on Monday with shoulder tightness, and relief pitcher Chad Green is likely to control that role for now. Fantasy managers ...

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boon mentioned relievers Chad Green, Darren O'Day and Justin Wilson among those who are projected to have added responsibilities with Zach Britton (elbow) out for three to four months. Boone expects the assignments in the later innings to be fluid and matchup-based in front of closer Aroldis Chapman. With Chapman serving a two-game suspension to begin the year for throwing at Rays first baseman Mike Brosseau last September, Green is likely to be the ...

The New York Yankees have agreed to a deal with relief pitcher Justin Wilson, pending a physical. Wilson pitched for the Yankees back in 2015 and spent the last two years pitching out of the New York Mets bullpen. Last year, Wilson posted a 3.66 ERA and 1.37 WHIP over 19.2 innings, averaging 10.5 K/9. The Yankees have a loaded bullpen. Zack Britton and Chad Green figure to be the team's primary setup men in front of closer Aroldis Chapman. Wilson could be next in line for setup work with Darren ...

The New York Mets nearly blew a four-run lead Tuesday night at Marlins Park, but managed to escape. With Edwin Diaz unavailable after appearing in a non-save situation Monday night, Justin [...]

The New York Mets agreed to a two-year, $10 million deal with free-agent relief pitcher Justin Wilson on Friday. Wilson put up a 3.46 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 11.4 K/9 in 54 2/3 innings for the Cubs in 2018. The left-hander will merely be a lefty specialist as a setup guy with his new team in New York ahead of Edwin Diaz and Jeurys Familia, so Wilson won't have much fantasy appeal without any chance for saves.

Happy end of the baseball season! While holds are even tougher to predict than saves, the players well highlight today include some elite setup men to target off the waiver wire in [...]

Congrats on (probably) making it through the first week or two of the playoffs! I got knocked out in the first round because almost all of my hitters decided to pretty much take a week off from being on base. My closers did great though, so I'm still qualified to create this week's Closers and Saves Report, I guess don't bother asking me about hitters though (unless you want to know how to get your hitters to combine for a .162 batting average and one home run throughout a whole week!) Aroldi[...]

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to take advantage of breakouts or impact bats before others sure can. The primary challenge of playing in an NL or AL-only league is often the lack of options regarding adding and subtracting players when neede[...]
