Green

Green will add to the Reds’ organizational pitching depth this season after posting a serviceable 3.80 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 65/45 K/BB ratio across 71 innings (31 appearances, eight starts) between Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the Yankees’ minor-league system last year. The 26-year-old righty, who was traded to the Yankees for Carlos Beltran back in 2016, has yet to reach the majors.

The Rule 5 pick didn’t show enough in Cactus League play to secure a spot in the team’s Opening Day bullpen. He’ll continue to serve as minor league bullpen depth for the Yankees.

Green, a Rule 5 selection from the Yankees, allowed just two baserunners and also struck out one batter. The 23-year-old righty has a chance to make the Diamondbacks 25-man roster as a reliever if he continues to excel this spring, but can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.

Green was a seventh-round pick in 2014 out of Indians Hills Community College. He has posted an underwhelming 4.98 ERA in seven starts this season with Low-A Spokane and the 21-year-old right-hander was even worse in 2015. Consider him a throw-in.

Green, a product of the Carlos Beltran deal with the Rangers a couple of years ago, went 8-7 with a 3.32 ERA and a 102/64 K/BB ratio in a 2018 season mostly spent in high-A. He’s probably going to need to be a reliever if he’ll be of any use at all in the majors.
