Isiah Kiner-Falefa Cranks First Home Run Of The Year
12 months agoNew York Yankees outfielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-3 with a home run and three runs scored in a victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday. The 28-year-old has been buried on New York's depth chart despite positional versatility and a myriad of injuries to their roster over the course of the season. He was certainly the biggest loser of top-prospect Anthony Volpe's call-up and preservation of his roster spot to this point. Harrison Bader's recent activation and strong play may also restrict whatever hope Kiner-Falefa had of seeing consistent playing time in center field. Despite Tuesday's display, consider it just a blip on the radar. Kiner-Falefa has a scant .531 OPS with just three RBI across 80 at-bats, so continue to ignore him on waiver wires.
