Brewers Decline Options On Jedd Gyorko, Eric Sogard, Ben Gamel rotoballer.com Fri 10/30/20 5:35 PM

The Milwaukee Brewers declined the 2021 options on infielders Jedd Gyorko and Eric Sogard and outfielder Ben Gamel on Friday. Gyorko and Sogard both had $4.5 million options, while Gamel remains under team control after the team declined his $2.55 million option. Gyorko hit .248 with nine home runs and 17 RBI in 43 games and 117 at-bats this year, and his .838 OPS was the highest on the team while playing mostly against left-handed pitchers. He eventually became the team's primary first ...

Jedd Gyorko In Line For Increase In Playing Time rotoballer.com Thu 9/3/20 7:28 PM

When the Milwaukee Brewers designated Justin Smoak for assignment -- in order to bring Daniel Vogelbach aboard -- it seemed as if Jedd Gyorkos playing time might get squeezed. But general manager David Stearns made it apparent that wouldnt be the case, as he mentioned Gyorko as one of the names that he expects to see considerable time at first moving forward. Through 20 games this year, Gyorko has slugged five homers, en route to a .955 OPS. He remains primarily a season-long commodity in deep ...

Jedd Gyorko Crushes Clutch Home Run Tuesday rotoballer.com Wed 8/12/20 12:10 PM

Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jedd Gyorko went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Twins. The veteran wound up being the hero for Milwaukee after he lifted a Taylor Rogers fastball over the wall in center field in the eighth inning to complete the comeback from an early 4-1 deficit. Gyorko isn't seeing everyday at-bats but he's had fantasy value in deeper-mixed league formats, posting a .286/.348/.619 slash line with two homers and five RBI ...

Brewers Agree With Jedd Gyorko rotoballer.com Fri 1/10/20 12:24 PM

The Milwaukee Brewers agreed to an undisclosed deal with infielder Jedd Gyorko on Friday, according to a source. Gyorko played in only 62 games last year with the Cardinals and Dodgers and hit an embarrassing .174/.248/.250 with two home runs and nine RBI. At this point in his career, Gyorko is more of a utility infielder with some pop in his lumber, so he's highly unlikely to provide much for fantasy owners, even in a hitter-friendly environment like Milwaukee. At best, Gyorko will hope to be a...

Dodgers Decline Option On Jedd Gyorko rotoballer.com Sun 11/3/19 1:15 PM

The Los Angeles Dodgers declined infielder Jedd Gyorko's option for the 2020 season, making him a free agent. The 31-year-old had a miserable year in 2019, splitting time with the Dodgers and Cardinals. Gyorko dealt with injuries and hit .174/.248/.250 in a part-time role for both Los Angeles and St. Louis. He had only two home runs and nine RBI in 92 total at-bats. The veteran infielder could certainly bounce back in 2020, but he won't be guaranteed a starting spot wherever he lands. Gyorko ...

Jedd Gyorko Activated on Sunday rotoballer.com Sun 8/18/19 11:42 AM

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Jedd Gyorko (wrist) has been activated from the 60-day injured list on Sunday. Gyorko hasn't played since June due to multiple nagging injuries, but appears fine now. He'll make his debut for the Dodgers after being acquired by the team at the trade deadline. Gyorko will bat fifth and play first base versus lefty Max Fried. He wasn't hitting well before the injury, so fantasy owners should continue to avoid him right now.

Jedd Gyorko May Not Return Before September rotoballer.com Sun 7/14/19 5:50 PM

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Jedd Gyorko's (back, calf, wrist) wrist isn't responding well and he is still healing from a calf injury. The Cardinals are a month away from re-evaluating what his timeline looks like, and Gyorko won't disagree that it might be hard to see him returning before Sept. 1. It basically equates to a lost season for the veteran 30-year-old. Gyorko was also hitting just .196/.274/.304 with two homers, five runs, seven RBI and two steals in 56 at-bats before his injuries, [...]

Jedd Gyorko Suffers Setback rotoballer.com Wed 6/19/19 12:11 AM

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Jedd Gyorko (back, calf) will remain on the injured list after he felt his left calf tighten up while running the bases on Monday. He was scheduled to be activated from the injured list on Tuesday. Manager Mike Shildt said Gyorko will need to remain on the injured list for up to another week. Rangel Ravelo and Tommy Edman, one of whom will likely be sent back to the minors when Gyorko returns, will remain with the team for now. It's the second time that Gyorko ha[...]
