Moves to IL
The Yankees placed Effross (hamstring) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander suffered a Grade 2 left hamstring strain in his first appearance of spring training and remains without an official timeline for his return. Effross missed a significant chunk of 2024 due to back surgery and spent most of the time he was healthy at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he had a 2.78 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB over 32.1 innings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Effross, who underwent Tommy John surgery in October 2022 and missed all of last season, hopes to be ready for spring training after progressing to bullpens and live batting practice over the fall. The side-armer has been limited to 71.1 innings in the majors since making his debut in 2021, but he's been highly successful with a 2.78 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 80:16 K:BB ratio. Effross is an emerging reliever in the league whose return is highly anticipated. He should have a high-leverage role for the Yankees to open 2024 if health prevails this spring.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Future closer?
With Chris Martin traded and both Daniel Robertson and Mychal Givens likely to be dealt, Effross is a possibility to close games for the Cubs after the trade deadline.
ANALYSIS
Effross has been one of Chicago's most effective relievers this season, compiling a 2.66 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 50:11 K:BB in 44 innings across 47 appearances. The 28-year-old has fanned 28.8 percent of the batters he's faced despite having an average fastball velocity of 91.4 miles per hour. He's dominated left-handed hitters, as they've produced a .132/.220/.245 line in 60 plate appearances, and held righties to a .615 OPS. Should the Cubs trade away their free-agent-to-be relievers, Effross will likely be given chances to close out games down the stretch.
