Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Middleton was a quality middle reliever for the Yankees and White Sox last season, maintaining a 3.38 ERA and 1.24 WHIP across 50.2 innings -- his heaviest workload in the majors since 2017. He's unlikely to factor into the saves picture after signing with the Cardinals, but he should bolster the middle of the bullpen. Read Past Outlooks
On verge of rehab assignment
Middleton (forearm) through off the mound again Friday and is set for a rehab assignment next week, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Middleton is on the cusp of a rehab assignment according to manager Oli Marmol, who explained that the reliever will report to either Double-A Springfield or Triple-A Memphis for his assignment this upcoming week. The right-hander is eligible to return from the 15-day injured list May 17 and he appears to be on track to return from his forearm injury on or close to that date.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Yankees discussing reunion
The Yankees have had talks with Middleton's representation about a reunion, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Middleton would presumably be on the cheaper end of the multitude of relievers the Yankees are keeping tabs on. The 30-year-old had a nice 2023 campaign between the White Sox and Yanks, holding a 3.38 ERA and 64:23 K:BB across 50.2 innings.

2018
The surface stats don't reflect it, but Middleton took a major step forward being another year removed from 2018 Tommy John surgery. After experiencing a drop in velocity last season, Middleton's fastball returned to its previous level, averaging 97.1 mph. The normal pattern is for velocity to come back first, then control. Hopefully, with a semblance of a normal offseason, Middleton can regain pre-injury form when he had the makings of a high-leverage reliever. Even before the procedure, walks were Middleton's chief issue, though he was on the verge of cleaning that up before going under the knife. The Angels brought in Raisel Iglesias to shore up the ninth inning, so it's best to take a wait-and-see approach with Middleton. If his velocity and control look good in the spring, he should secure a key setup role.
