Jordan Yamamoto needs a shoulder to rely on

From a minor piece in a larger trade to promising young starter to potential injury washout, Jordan Yamamoto has had a tumultuous career so far. Long a favorite of prospect enthusiast and fantasy deep diverse, the undersized righty now faces serious questions about the viability of his arsenal in the wake of two injury plagued seasons. Hopefully he can answer those questions, because the Mets may be calling on him for depth sooner rather than later.

Originally traded from Milwaukee to the Marlins in exchange for Christian Yelich, Yamamoto steadily improved his stock in 2018 and ‘19.
