Bird has not gotten off the ground in his Yankees career after being acquired at the deadline. He has allowed seven runs (six earned) in two innings across three games, including allowing two huge home runs. The Yankees will keep him in the nest for a bit and hope to help him fly better over the final month of the season. Mark Leiter Jr. is expected to be activated off the IL tonight.

He likely won’t get save chances, so there’s not much relevance here in any fantasy formats.
