2 months agoNew York Yankees relief pitcher Ian Hamilton (lat) is set to throw a high-intensity bullpen session on Tuesday, August 6, according to MLB.com. Hamilton hit the 15-day IL in June due to a lat strain. He recently began the first steps in his throwing program and will now progress to a much higher-intensity exercise. Prior to the injury, the right-hander held a 4.55 ERA, 1.58 WHIP, and a 14:30 BB:K ratio through 29 innings of work. He did very well in limiting hard contact with a 3.4% barrel rate and generated whiffs at an elite 35.1% mark. The 29-year-old is still several steps away from returning to the mound as he has yet to face live hitters. When he does return, fantasy managers should expect Hamilton to produce a high amount of holds as he was typically deployed as a set-up man to Clay Holmes.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
