The Yankees non-tendered Hamilton on Friday.
Analysis
Hamilton spent the majority of the 2025 regular season on the Yankees' major-league roster but ended the year with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after being optioned by big club in late July. He appeared in 36 regular-season games for the Bronx Bombers and logged four holds along with a 4.28 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 40 innings. The 30-year-old right-hander will enter free agency and look to join a team in need of an added arm out of the bullpen.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Hamilton has been an effective reliever for the Yankees when healthy - he sports a 3.10 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 110:40 K:BB over 95.2 innings since joining New York in 2023 - but injuries continue to plague the 29-year-old. After dealing with two separate groin strains during the 2023 campaign, Hamilton missed extended time during the 2024 regular season due to a lat strain and concussion. Furthermore, he injured his calf during last year's ALCS and was ineligible to return for the World Series. While durability is a major concern, there's enough within Hamilton's profile to keep him on AL-only and deep league radars. Among relief pitchers with 30-plus innings last season, Hamilton's 17.7 percent swinging strike rate was a top-10 mark, suggesting he has the upside to produce a 30-plus percent strikeout rate. If healthy this spring, the right-hander will compete for middle relief duties.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Future closer candidate

Analysis
The skipper also added that there are "five guys" he could trust with the role. It's not a surprise to hear Hamilton made the list, as he picked up his first career save Saturday against the Rays and boasts a 1.42 ERA and 23:7 K:BB over 19 innings this season. Clay Holmes and Michael King are the other two relievers to have recorded saves for the Yankees this season.
