Clayton Beeter Makes Opening Day Roster
8 months agoNew York Yankees rookie right-hander Clayton Beeter said he was informed that he's made the team's Opening Day roster out of camp. But with Luis Gil earning the No. 5 starting rotation spot to open the year, Beeter will open his first MLB campaign pitching out of New York's bullpen as a long reliever, which won't give him any real fantasy appeal. The 25-year-old could fill in for a spot start here or there early on, but there's a good chance he'll eventually head back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre for more minor-league seasoning. The former second-round pick in 2020 by the Los Angeles Dodgers out of Texas Tech went 9-7 for Double-A Somerset and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, posting a 3.62 ERA and 1.37 WHIP with 75 walks and 165 strikeouts in 131 2/3 innings pitched.
