DARREN O'DAY NEWS

Shifts rehab to Triple-A Atlanta transferred O'Day's (calf) rehab assignment from High-A Rome to Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.

Impact O'Day, who struck out a batter in a perfect inning during his lone appearance for Rome on Friday, will likely pitch in one or two games for Gwinnett before coming off the 15-day injured list as soon as this weekend. The veteran right-hander turned in a 4.15 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 21.2 innings out of the big-league bullpen this season before going on the 15-day injured list July 13 with a left calf strain.

Beginning rehab assignment O'Day (calf) will begin a rehab assignment at High-A Rome on Friday.

Impact O'Day has been on the injured list since July 13 due to a left calf strain, but his rehab assignment should be the final step in his recovery process. It wouldn't be surprising to see the right-hander require several appearances in the minors since he's been sidelined nearly a month, but he should be in consideration to rejoin Atlanta's bullpen soon.

Sidelined with calf strain Atlanta placed O'Day on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a strained left calf muscle.

Impact Atlanta will swap one right-handed reliever off the IL for another, as closer Kenley Jansen (irregular heartbeat) was reinstated to the active roster in a corresponding move. Though injuries had marred three of his past four seasons, O'Day had been in good health during his age-39 campaign before the calf issue surfaced. In 28 appearances out of the Atlanta bullpen, O'Day has picked up two wins and six holds while turning in a 4.15 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 26:10 K:BB across 21.2 innings.

Atlanta Braves staking claim as the best bullpen in MLB

Braves GM Alex Anthopolous made a big investment in veteran relievers during the offseason, and it's paying off, Jake Mintz writes.

JUNE 8, 2022 • FOX SPORTS

Earns win in relief O'Day (1-0) earned the win in relief Friday against the Padres after tossing a scoreless inning with two strikeouts.

Impact The 39-year-old veteran has enjoyed a strong start to the season with the Braves, as he's yet to give up a run or a hit through his first three appearances while also fanning three, recording a hold and a win. He's not going to be able to keep this up for a prolonged stretch going forward, but he's certainly delivering quality appearances every time he steps on the mound for one of the best teams in the National League.

APRIL 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Makes Opening Day roster O'Day had his contract selected by Atlanta on Sunday.

Impact The 39-year-old was in camp as a non-roster invitee, and he apparently showed enough to warrant Atlanta adding him to the 40-man roster ahead of Opening Day. O'Day had a 3.38 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB over 10.2 innings last year and should operate in middle relief.

APRIL 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Atlanta on minors deal O'Day (hamstring) signed a minor-league deal with Atlanta on Monday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

Impact O'Day recorded a 1.25 ERA for Atlanta in 2019 and 2020, though that came in a tiny sample of just 21.2 innings. Injuries, including a hamstring strain which required season-ending surgery in July of this past season, have prevented the veteran righty from tossing more than 20 innings in any of the last four campaigns, but he's been good when available, cruising to a 2.58 ERA over that stretch. Just how much he has to offer in his age-39 season following all those injuries is not yet clear, however.

NOVEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Declines option O'Day's (hamstring) mutual option for the 2022 season was declined Thursday.

Impact O'Day had a player option worth $1.4 million, which then converted to a $3.2 million club option. He was limited to only 10.2 innings in 2021 due to a hamstring injury, though he managed to post a 3.38 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with an 11:4 KBB prior to going down.

NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Shifts to 60-day IL O'Day (hamstring) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Impact It was announced this week the veteran right-hander will undergo season-ending surgery on his left hamstring, so it was only a matter of time before he was moved to the 60-day IL. O'Day was limited to only 10.2 innings this season and has yet to decide if he plans to continue his career in 2022.

JULY 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Set for season-ending surgery O'Day will undergo season-ending surgery on his left hamstring Wednesday, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

Impact This news comes as no surprise, as manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that the right-hander's season was likely over. O'Day, who posted a 3.38 ERA and 1.22 WHIP across 10.2 innings this season, will likely be transferred to the 60-day injured list in the coming days. The 38-year-old has a player option to remain with the Yankees next season, but per Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record, he has yet to decide whether he will pitch in 2022.

JULY 20, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Likely done for season Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that O'Day is expected to miss the rest of the season after suffering a "significant" left hamstring strain earlier this month, Erik Boland...

Impact Boone didn't disclose whether O'Day would require surgery to address the hamstring injury, which is presumably a Grade 3 strain. Barring a speedier recovery than anticipated, O'Day, who picked up the injury in a pre-game workout, will finish the season with a 3.38 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and four holds across his 12 appearances out of the New York bullpen.

JULY 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Hamstring strain likely serious Manager Aaron Boone said O'Day is dealing with a "significant" strain to his left hamstring, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Yankees' skipper detailed that O'Day crumpled to the ground during a pregame workout Tuesday. A specific timeframe for the righty's return is unclear at this time, but an activation immediately following the All-Star break seems unlikely.

JULY 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out with strained hamstring O'Day was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a left hamstring strain.

Impact The veteran right-hander returned from a lengthy absence due to a shoulder injury last week, and O'Day will return to the injured list after making only two appearances. Nick Nelson was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move.

JULY 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Returns from injured list O'Day (shoulder) was reinstated from the injured list as expected Tuesday.

Impact O'Day has been out since late April with a strained shoulder. He recorded a 3.00 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over nine innings of relief work prior to suffering the injury.

JUNE 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back Tuesday O'Day (shoulder) is on track to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact O'Day made his final rehab appearance Sunday, and the team appears poised to activate him prior to Tuesday's contest against the Angels. He hasn't pitched since April 29 against Baltimore after suffering a right shoulder strain.

JUNE 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing end of rehab stint O'Day (shoulder) is expected to make one more minor-league rehab appearance Sunday, Max Goodman of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact The right-handed reliever has made two appearances with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre thus far, allowing two hits and no runs while striking out four over two innings. Should his final rehab outing go well, O'Day could be activated by the Yankees early next week.

JUNE 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Rehab assignment begins O'Day (shoulder) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

Impact O'Day has been out with a right rotator cuff strain since late April. Given that he's missed nearly two months, he'll likely need a handful of rehab outings before he's cleared to return to the active roster.

JUNE 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Slated for rehab assignment O'Day (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Saturday and could begin a rehab assignment after the Yankees' off day Monday, Max Goodman of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact The right-handed reliever hasn't seen game action since the end of April, but that should soon change with a minor-league rehab stint around the corner. Prior to hitting the injured list, O'Day had posted a 3.00 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB across nine innings while notching three holds.

JUNE 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing rehab assignment O'Day (shoulder) completed a bullpen session Wednesday and could begin a rehab assignment this weekend, Justin Shackil of SiriusXM reports.

Impact The veteran reliever has been on the shelf with a strained right rotator cuff since the start of May, but he's closing in on his return from the injured list. O'Day likely will require at least a few appearances in the minors before being activated given he's been sidelined for six-plus weeks.

JUNE 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Throwing to 120 feet O'Day (shoulder) has increased his throwing distance to 120 feet and could pitch from a mound soon, MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander continues to make progress from a right rotator cuff strain that has kept him on the shelf since April 30. He remains without a specific return date but could return within a matter of weeks if he's able to return to a mound in the near future.

JUNE 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Throwing to 90 feet O'Day (shoulder) has been throwing to 90 feet but has not yet pitched from a mound, Max Goodman of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact O'Day is continuing to rehab from a right shoulder strain suffered at the end of April. The right-hander's return does not appear to be imminent given his lack of mound work thus far. When he gets back to full health, O'Day figures to retain a key spot in the Yankees' bullpen. He has three holds and a 3.00 ERA across nine innings this season.

JUNE 3, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Begins throwing O'Day (shoulder) played catch Saturday morning at Yankee Stadium, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact This marks the start of O'Day's throwing program as he works his way back from a right shoulder strain, which he suffered April 30. The sidearmer was an effective late-inning option in 10 April appearances, posting a 3.00 ERA and recording three holds.

MAY 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not ready to throw Yankees manager Aaron Boone said O'Day (shoulder) remains at least a couple weeks away from beginning a throwing program, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact O'Day is still in recovery mode after he was diagnosed May 1 with a right rotator cuff strain. As a reliever who typically doesn't work more than an inning in his appearances, O'Day won't require much time to build up, but he still appears unlikely to return from the injured list until at least late May while his throwing program is on hold.
