2025 Fantasy Outlook
After missing the majority of the 2022 and 2023 seasons due to Tommy John surgery, Green overcame a teres strain in his right shoulder early in the 2024 campaign to have his most fantasy relevant season since 2021. The 33-year-old handled setup duties upon his return from the IL, but was elevated to the primary save share when closer Jordan Romano got hurt for an extended period. In fact, Green handled closing duties for Toronto for the majority of the second half to lead the Blue Jays with 17 saves (24th in the league) and a 47.2 percent team save share. The right-hander maintained a solid 1.03 WHIP across 53.1 innings, but blew three saves down the stretch to suppress fantasy optimism for 2025 saves, especially after he posted a career-low 21.9 percent strikeout rate. Green entered the offseason as the internal favorite for saves in 2025, but he's now expected to fill more of a setup role due to the offseason signings of Jeff Hoffman and Yimi Garcia.

Collects fifth hold
PToronto Blue Jays
July 1, 2025
Green walked one batter in a scoreless two-thirds of an inning to record his fifth hold of the season during Monday's win over the Yankees.
Analysis
The veteran righty got the final two outs in the eighth inning before handing the ball off to closer Jeff Hoffman for the ninth. It was Green's first hold since May 22 as his exposure to high-leverage spots has been limited, and he wrapped up June with a 4.35 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 7:4 K:BB over 10.1 innings. With Yimi Garcia (shoulder) set to return this week, Green will likely remain in a middle-relief role rather than being part of Toronto's regular setup crew.

Green signed a uniquely structured contract with Toronto last offseason after undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2022. The 32-year-old missed most of the 2023 campaign, but returned in September to post a 5.25 ERA (2.86 xERA) and 16:4 K:BB over 12 innings. If Green can stay healthy and come close to his pre-surgery form - the right-hander boasts a career 3.23 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 510 strikeouts over 395.2 innings - he should be in line for setup duties in front of closer Jordan Romano.
Green recorded the Yankees' first save of 2021 with closer Aroldis Chapman serving a two-game suspension to start the year. While he only logged six saves overall, it was a career high and he was a standout for the Yankees in high-leverage with career-highs in wins (10), holds (19) and innings pitched (83.2). Green was outstanding at keeping runners off the basepaths, as his 0.88 WHIP ranked third among qualified relievers, while his 1.8 BB/9 ranked 11th. He was a bit homer-prone, serving up 1.5 HR/9, but that was expected since giving up hard contact has been an issue throughout his career. His ability to pitch multiple innings per appearance was extremely valuable to New York, who dealt with injuries to the back-end of their bullpen at various points of the season. Green remains one of the best non-closer relievers who can stabilize ratios while racking up strikeouts, wins and a handful of saves.
Green endured a rocky 2019 and was even demoted for a stretch that season, but he re-established himself as a key member of the Yankees' bullpen in 2020. He held opposing hitters to a .141 BA and posted an 8.0 BB%, a career high but not far off from his career norm. His K% was again north of 30% as Green overhauled his secondary pitch, throwing more of a curveball instead of a slider to strong results. His average fastball was down a tick and the long ball was an issue, with Green surrendering a total of six HR in 31 innings (postseason included). The traditional estimators will punish him for a .145 BABIP, which is abnormally low, but Statcast says that success on balls in play was deserved (Green ranked in the top 2% of the league in xBA, xwOBA and xwOBACON). Zack Britton is clearly the next man up behind Aroldis Chapman, but that doesn't mean there isn't a spot for Green in a lot of leagues.
On April 23, Green was optioned to the minors. At the time, he was sporting a 16.43 ERA and 2.48 WHIP. Green didn't sulk, instead he posted a 2.45 ERA and 0.99 WHIP with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, fanning 14 with just two walks in 7.1 innings. The Yankees called him up May 12 and Green proceeded to log a 2.64 ERA and 1.08 WHIP the rest of the way with 91 whiffs and 15 free passes in 61.1 innings. Green functioned equally well as a multi-inning middleman and late-inning reliever, as well as in the newfangled primary pitcher role. Despite possessing closer stuff as demonstrated by a dominant 26 K-BB%, Green is more useful deployed in multiple roles, leaving ninth-inning duties to Aroldis Chapman. While there's always the danger of a stretch like Green endured to open the 2019 campaign, he's one of the better non-closer relievers to help stabilize ratios while accruing strikeouts.
Many will talk about closers being a combination of skills-plus-opportunity with a mixture of guile. That recipe is what is needed to get the role, and Green has it in spades. He is just cursed with being on the wrong team as the Yankees have a deep bullpen with several more proven ninth-inning options. Green could close for any other team in the majors right now, but the Yankees are not going to let him go anywhere because he is a dominant part of the bridge to the endgame. Green's 26.5 K-BB% ranked 11th among qualified relievers last season, and there are no issues with splits. The only flaw would be the nine homers, only four of which came at home, but some homers are to be expected of someone who is so fastball dominant with his repertoire. Expect more middle-relief wins, solid ratios and plenty of strikeouts from him in 2019, but the saves are still likely a few years in the future.
Green was a swingman for the Yankees in 2016. The ERA was ugly, but it did have an alibi because he was not meant to be a starter. The strikeout rate and walk rates were starter worthy, but fastball/slider pitchers need both pitches to be excellent to go without a third pitch. Green did not have that, but the move to the bullpen allowed him to come in and throw fastballs with regularity as he threw the ol’ number one 70 percent of the time last season. The crazy-high home run rate normalized in 2017 (0.52 HR/9) and Green became a valuable commodity in only leagues with five wins, sparkling ratios and 100-plus strikeouts in relief. His 2018 role will be more of the same as the bullpen should come back intact. Each season has a few relievers with phenomenal skills but no clear path to saves; Green is at the top of that list for 2018.
The Yankees traded for Green last offseason, who to that point was a fairly unheralded prospect that had never made it above the Double-A level. The 25-year-old ended up posting a spectacular 1.52 ERA in his first taste of Triple-A action in 2016 and leveraged that success into a spot in the big league club's starting rotation down the back stretch. Though things didn't always go as smoothly in the majors -- he especially struggled keeping the ball in the yard (2.4 HR/9) -- the young righty was able to miss bats and ended the year with 52 strikeouts in 45.2 innings. Unfortunately, Green's season was cut short by a UCL sprain and strained flexor tendon suffered in early September, and while he is expected to avoid surgery, it's unclear if he will be 100 percent by the time spring training rolls around. Once healthy, Green could be handed a spot in a somewhat shallow rotation, profiling as a No. 4 or No. 5 starter.

Yankees interested in reunion
PToronto Blue Jays
July 23, 2024
The Yankees have trade interest in Green, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
Analysis
Green spent his first seven major-league seasons with the Yankees before signing with the Blue Jays prior to the 2023 campaign. While his strikeouts have been down in 2024 with just 24 in 28.2 innings, Green has still been plenty successful with a 1.88 ERA and 0.98 WHIP. Green -- who is making $10.5 million this season and is set to earn $10.5 million again in 2025 -- would provide the Yankees with a quality setup man ahead of closer Clay Holmes.
