Player Outlook
Ben 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.
