Chad Green, Darren O'Day, Justin Wilson To Have Bigger Roles
4 years agoNew 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 ninth-inning man early on, if needed. Right-hander Jonathan Loaisiga is another name to watch as a potential late-inning setup man that could be asked to take on more of a high-leverage role with Britton out for a while.
