Domingo German (RP/SP, NYY) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 0% of leagues

ANALYSIS: With Jordan Montgomery likely to miss at least one turn in the rotation, if not quite a bit more, New York Yankees pitcher German looks to be the one to step into his rotation slot. He is technically a reliever on Yahoo right now, as he came out of the 'pen to relieve the injured JorMont on Tuesday, and promptly threw four shutout innings with four K's.

He went 7-2 with 81 strikeouts and a 2.83 ERA/1.06 WHIP in 76 1/3 Triple-A innings last season so there is potential here, and anyone who pitches in pinstripes is worthy of fantasy attention. That offense is firing on all cylinders and the bullpen remembered that it's supposed to be good, so be quick to throw out a  bid here and see what happens.

He will likely pitch on Sunday against the Indians in New York if Montgomery cannot go and is a good dice throw with 0% ownership. The added perk of RP eligibility does not hurt either.
