2025 Fantasy Outlook
Brubaker held some end-of-roster appeal in deep fantasy leagues in 2022 when he fanned 147 batters over 144 innings with Pittsburgh, but he hasn't pitched in the majors since. The right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery in April of 2023, and after being traded to the Yankees while still rehabbing last March, he had his recovery halted due to an oblique injury. Brubaker did get into eight minor-league contests, and he posted a fine 2.70 ERA and 0.96 WHIP but definitely showed some rust with a 9:8 K:BB over 16.2 frames. Despite the recent injuries, the Yankees re-signed Brubaker to a one-year deal, and his chance of breaking camp with the club is boosted by his lack of minor-league options. His most likely role is as a middle- or long-relief option capable of stepping in for the occasional spot start, which isn't a recipe for fantasy relevance. Read Past Outlooks

Rest of Season

Cleared for team debut
The Yankees reinstated Brubaker (ribs) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Not only will Brubaker be making his season debut when he gets into a game, but he'll also be making his Yankees debut. After being acquired from the Pirates last March, Brubaker was limited to just a handful of rehab appearances in 2024 while he recovered from April 2023 Tommy John surgery and an oblique strain. He was fully healthy heading into spring training, but Brubaker sustained three rib fractures when he was struck by a comebacker in late February. The right-hander proved his health over a month-long rehab assignment and ended it in impressive fashion this past Friday, when he gave up one earned run on no hits and two walks in a five-inning start for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Though Brubaker built up as a starter during his minor-league assignment, the Yankees are initially expected to use him in long relief.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023
2022
2021
If nothing else, Brubaker was expected to eat a significant number of innings for the Pirates in 2023. There was also some reason to be optimistic that his surface stats would improve after he showed growth in limiting the long ball, but all hopes were dashed after he dealt with forearm and elbow issues late in spring training. Shortly thereafter, it was announced that he would need Tommy John surgery. That not only ended his 2023 campaign, but it also leaves his status for 2024 unclear. According to most recent reports, he is throwing from flat ground up to 120 feet with the goal of making his season debut shortly after the All-Star break. As a result, he's safe to avoid in nearly all fantasy formats, with the best-case scenario being he becomes a streaming option upon his return.
