Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rortvedt appeared in 32 games for the Yankees in 2023, slashing a measly .118/.241/.221 with two home runs in 79 plate appearances. The 26-year-old did hit better in Triple-A with a .276/.387/.495 line in 105 at bats. Rortvedt ended the season as the Yankees third catcher, but the trade of Kyle Higashioka opens up an opportunity in spring for Rortvedt to compete with Jose Trevino for the Yankees' backup catcher role in 2024. Either way, Rortvedt is unlikely to be much of a factor in fantasy unless an injury to Austin Wells opens the door to a starting role. Read Past Outlooks
Getting rest Sunday
Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Rortvedt will get some routine maintenance for the day game after catching 11 innings of Saturday's 7-4 loss while going 1-for-3 at the dish. Alex Jackson will draw the start at catcher in his stead.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to be dealt?
Rortvedt could be traded by the Yankees this offseason, per Andy Martino of SNY.tv.
ANALYSIS
Jose Trevino is on the mend from July wrist surgery and Austin Wells has proven to be MLB-ready, so the Yankees will likely cut ties with arbitration-eligible catcher Kyle Higashioka and might seek to trade the out-of-options Rortvedt. He slashed just .118/.241/.221 over 79 major-league plate appearances in 2023.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Rortvedt made his major-league debut for the Twins last season and hit .169/.229/.281 with a 29.6 percent strikeout rate in 98 plate appearances, and he was included in the massive trade which also sent Josh Donaldson and Isiah Kiner-Falefa to the Yankees. For better or worse the departure of Gary Sanchez leaves a significant void in New York's catching group, and Rortvedt should have the opportunity to fill it. However, he's dealing with an oblique injury and may open the 2022 campaign on the injured list, which limits his outlook for early in the season. Rortvedt could still be in the mix behind the plate for the Yankees this year, but Kyle Higashioka could open in a full-time role with non-roster invitees Rob Brantly and David Freitas being the top options for the No. 2 job.
