Franchy Cordero - Page 2 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Should play frequently vs. RHPs Cordero will start in right field and bat ninth Wednesday versus the Angels, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Cordero was on the bench for both of the Yankees' past two games, but so long as at least two of Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring), Harrison Bader (oblique) and Josh Donaldson (hamstring) are on the injured list, the 28-year-old should have a fairly clear path to playing regularly versus right-handed pitching. Through 39 plate appearances this season, Cordero owns a robust .824 OPS, but a 30.8 percent strikeout rate has kept his batting average down at .216.

Shows no signs of slowing down Cordero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over Cleveland.

Impact Cordero got his fourth straight start and took advantage of the opportunity again, slugging a game-tying solo homer in the seventh inning. The long ball was his fourth in his past five contests and ensured that he has reached base in all seven games in which he has played in 2023. Cordero leads New York with 11 RBI and is tied with Aaron Judge for the team lead in homers despite logging just 27 plate appearances.

Launches first homer of year Cordero went 1-for-1 with a walk and a three-run home run in Friday's 7-6 loss to the Orioles.

Impact Getting the start in right field and batting eighth, Cordero got lifted for a pinch hitter against southpaw reliever Danny Coulombe in the sixth inning but did plenty of damage before he exited. Cordero's fourth-inning blast off Dean Kremer got the Yankees on the board and gave the 28-year-old outfielder his first homer of the season. He'll remain in a strict platoon role, but Cordero is looking good in pinstripes so far, batting .300 (3-for-10) with five RBI in three games.

Drives in two runs in Yankees debut Cordero went 1-for-5 with a double, a run and two RBI in Monday's 8-1 win against the Phillies.

Impact Cordero joined New York on a one-year split contract last Wednesday and saw his first action of the season Monday. He got the start in right field and knocked his first hit as a Yankee in the fifth inning, doubling to center field to plate two runs and later coming around to score. Cordero is likely to see only sporadic playing time in the majors, so he won't be a fantasy target unless injuries open up a wider path to playing time.

Signs split contract The Yankees signed Cordero on Wednesday to a one-year split contract that will pay him $1 million while on the major-league roster,Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The contract will pay Cordero $180,000 if/when he's in the minors. The 28-year-old was released by the Orioles on Monday despite hitting .413/.426/.674 in the Grapefruit League with a pair of homers, and it didn't take him long to find a new home. A right-handed hitting outfielder, Cordero will likely be a bench option for the Yankees to begin 2022 with the ability to spell starters at all three outfield positions.
