Zach Britton Pitches Perfect Eighth In Yankees Debut
6 years agoNew York Yankees setup man Zach Britton made his debut in pinstripes on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals. Coming into the eighth inning of a 7-2 game, Britton induced two groundouts — Britton's devastating sinker almost always results in ground ball outs — along with his first strikeout as a Yankee. Britton definitely lost fantasy value after being traded from the Baltimore Orioles; he was the undisputed closer there. But with that said, he still holds high value in deep, multiple reliever leagues, and if Aroldis Chapman were to suffer an injury — Chapman has battled a balky left knee this season — Britton will instantly become a hot commodity once again.
