New York Yankees
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Headrick closed 2025 on the Yankees' injured list while recovering from a left forearm contusion, but he was able to make seven rehab appearances at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in September and appears to have had a normal offseason. The 28-year-old southpaw will be competing for a spot in the Opening Day bullpen and will likely work in middle relief if he breaks camp with the big club. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Yankees in March of 2025.
Earns win in relief Thursday
PNew York Yankees
June 5, 2026
Headrick (4-1) recorded the win over Cleveland on Thursday, walking one batter and striking out one over a scoreless inning.
Analysis
Carlos Rodon delivered six innings of one-run ball, but he left with the game tied. Headrick worked around a two-out walk to pitch a scoreless top of the seventh, and he moved into position for the victory when the Yankees plated a run in the bottom of the inning. The southpaw has held the opponent scoreless in seven straight appearances while posting an 8:3 K:BB over 6.1 frames during that span. He's been a key part of the bullpen with a 1.82 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, four wins, seven holds and a 34:12 K:BB through 29.2 innings spanning 30 appearances on the campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Opportunity knocking in 2026?
PNew York Yankees
December 21, 2025
Manager Aaron Boone expects Headrick to fill a more significant role for the Yankees in 2026, reports Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.
Analysis
The 28-year-old was claimed off waivers by the Yankees in February and posted a 3.13 ERA and 30:7 K:BB during his first year in the Bronx, but he was limited to 17 appearances and finished the season on the IL due to a forearm issue. Headrick should be healthy to begin 2026 given that he had started up a rehab assignment in September, and he appears to be a safe bet to get a spot in the Opening Day bullpen.
